Could negotiations not be so difficult to matching with players demands,and an option to switch off the buy up tag transfer fee,so i an not gonna loose my half squad?
Could there be an Academy Of the team i am managing,instead of the youth squad ,sonething like an under 21 team?
An Update of the uefa team standings for the draws of the european cups,in manager mode?
qualifiers for europe
An option to switch off the away goal count,so we see that first in gaming,then in real life?
More substitutions if any injuries or extra time
Apart from tweaks making it feel more natural to play, I’d love:
- Get a real agent who you can actually discuss your plans with. Things like “what teams would you like to play for during your career?”
During the transfer windows the agent can work those clubs, trying to get you a deal. I haven’t played PES for years, but it had a similar feature back in 2012 or so.
- a highlights reel when you retire would be nice.
- selecting a youth club (could be the one you start in) would add to the story.
- please, stop ruining the game with stupid and unlikely transfers! I mean, when I start a save with Atlético Madrid, the AI sells Koke, Juanfran, Filipe Luis and Giménez in the first window, before I’ve played a single game. Replacements? One player. Can’t remember who atm. So it’s unlikely that the club would sell 4 first team players and replacing them with one. It’s also unlikely that Koke would leave at all, and that Giménez would leave without a good replacement. It’s so frustrating.
Here’s how: Fifa has good options for game modes as it stands exhibition, career mode, ultimate team and be a pro mode. However, I would like to see one more mode introduced. Business mode (working title for the mode), you can call it whatever you want, but the important thing is what the mode includes. An all inclusive, in depth, full game experience.
Business mode lets you play as the owner, recruiter, coach and player. Each role has different responsibilities in the game.
The owner is responsible for the clubs revenue. He adjusts ticket prices, stadium upgrades, signing sponsors for the club, the team’s games aired on network television stations and picking out the clubs jerseys for each season to be worn by the club. He also determines the tournaments the team plays in every year. He is ultimately responsible for the team’s financial success and the user controls it.
The recruiter is responsible for hiring the scouts. The quality of the scout is left up to him. Just like the previous season, the recruiter determines what the scouts will go in the world to find players. He determines not only the positions the scouts should be looking for, but also the team’s the scouts should be looking at. The recruiter assesses player evaluations and looks for player updates in the news. The scout uses a database each club has for each player on those teams with the stats and minor details for each player in the world. It’s up to the scout to determine which players should be looked at more. The scouts are able to meet with players and ask a series of preloaded questions containing information used to help determine how much it would take to buy a player from a club, that players mental capabilities, his playing time/experience, and his interest in the club the scout works for. Each of the questions answered by the player helps the scout determine how much the club would have to offer the player to join the club or if the player would fit in the team’s system at all. The scouts data collected from player interviews and data collection of watching games are stored on the scouts report, which is accessed through the scout and coach who would later offer the player the contract.
The coach is responsible for each players attribute progression during practices. He is responsible for also interviewing players and offering players contracts. The coach develops the game plan for each game and the offensive and defensive strategy for each game. He gives the pep talks in the locker rooms deciding on whether or not to get the player pumped up for the game, focused, physical or tactical. The coach also develops plays on the field while the games are played, which the user can adjust before each game. He also gives advice and pointers to substitutes as they enter the game. If the user notices a weakness in the opponents strategy the coach points it out to the sub before he enters the game. The coach determines the line up before each game and each players role going into the game.
The player is responsible for winning the game. He is controlled by the user throughout just as fifa is played today.
This mode has the ability to switch between each role as he wishes in order to properly manage his team. The user just selects which role he will be using in the modes menu stage thought each day of the week in order to make his team successful throughout each season.
Obviously, for those not interested in doing whichever responsibilities they do not wish to control, they can have the computer take over those responsibilities during their season at any time.
This is just the base model of the new game mode that fifa can elaborate on for years to come.
Career mode is so basic and has had no attention for years. We need depth and realism. Training, tactics, finances, transfers, youth teams, u21s and revamped scouting, dealing with actual personalities in your team and development system is all required. At the moment the mode is flat and lifeless.
I would like it if you could have more of a way to be able to see if you could make your own team like David Beckham is like you could use your money after you retire to create your own club form scratch I would like it if you could maybe if you could choose more positions like goalkeeper and I would really appreciate if you could star as a kid and if you added social media things that could hurt your player like make him have a bad game if there is allot of bad comments about him form his fans or haters more emotion
* Power gives more interactive interviews as in the journey
* Temperament of the player, as in the journey
* Signing sponsorships influencing the player's own marketing.
Career mode coach
* To be able to sign with sponsors positively and negatively influencing the development of the club.
* Can make improvements in the stadium.
* Have more realistic base categories.
* Be able to develop 1 uniform every new season, also serving in the team's marketing development.
* Interview pre and post games, influencing the temperament of the coach.
1. Can be starting career mode with real manager like starting the career with Pep but you cannot change the coach philosophy. Its necessary to buy a coach to increase or decrease play status. Depends your success player Status increase more. Your coach determine formations and style tatics limited for your type of game.
2. Add your face in the game, select your style type of coach. Gain new bonus acces and styles, like tatics after to accomplish objectives.
3. Realistic transfer window – specific for any team idea of buying player such as Real Madrid only looking at top form player or high potential player and willing to spend a lot of money in the transfer.
4. Come back fans, directory and media approved status like FIFA08. This determine a lot of Money bonus you have to spend in the next season.
5. The team only buy a player to replace their weak position of the team example, Chelsea sold Hazard then the club should be buying one new player for replacing him. But after to accomplish all targets in tranfer Windows, you receive a right to buy a pleyer you like.
6. Sold the best player if team is relegation or miss CL in the other hand you can buy a lot new faces when you get promoted or buy a big name player when your team achieved a high target like winning CL or finishing at CL qualifying place.
7. 24 hours to finalize transfer windows. Players is much more costs in this moment.
8. You can get player on cheap if they have a bad form, unhappy or facing an out of contact
9. VERY IMPORTANT - Manager Simulation – when you play a sim match, you can play it without control the player by yourself by simulating the gameplay and you can change the tactics during the match for showing your tactical skills and substitutes your players during the match.
10. Your teams have points to care player. 1 to 100. Do you invest in your club, like doctors(this influency time of injuries), stadium, promote games and this give your Money. Goalkeep support to improve player skills and etc:
-argue with your manager
-change jerseys and sponsors
-new/expand stadium
-change ticket pricing
11. player training -you can train a new position to the player such as turning David Luiz from CB to CDM.
12. the overall player of promotion team should be increasing depend on their form if he is your top goal scorer the rating should be increase more than 1 maximum is 6 or 7 maybe. For relaxation team, they should’ve faced decreasing overall player rating to keep balance on the lower league
13. team tactics and instruction (LIKE PES)
Add styles of playing such as playing though the middle(short passing), playing at the frank(more cross or cut back), set up from the back, one man player like Hazard, regista role, leadership impact.making your own tactics philosophy by creating your prefer tactics before the game and can be changing during the game
14. young player needs to have more stamina
15. Much more cinematics to all games UEFA LEAGUE. To increase emotion in the carrer.Fans
16. The fans should be dressed differently for weather conditions and also leave the stadium if their team is losing. Also, the games are always “sold out” which is completely unrealistic. If their team is winning you should see like the fans doing a wave or something cool. If the team is losing a lot there should be fewer fans in the stadium. Fans should be chanting different things, etc
17. Manager recaction affect the game player during the first to second time. Depend IF your choice answer. Dialogue with players about a new contract, transfer requests – multi-choice answer
COMPETICHIONS
CONCACAF champions league & the Gold Cup. LIBERTADORES and WORLD CLUB CHAMPS.
Youth Academy players should be more realistic( why are they always tucked?). And Creating your own Manager should be and Choosing your own brand.
Max Potential should be changed by Minimum Potential
1.This has to be more interactive with more real press conferences with choice based answers.
2. manager mode simulation from the touchline where we can change tactics as per the situation of the match.
3. Players deciding whether to stay or leave, more brutal competition to sign a specific player. Players being more vocal about supporters, management, and his future.
4. Using budget on stadiums, media ads and revenues, controlling all those stuff.
5. Slowing down the pace of game little bit, like it should not be just press sprint and keep running thing. Passes are important part of football!
6. Better scouting and future stars / potential good players search management.
7. Emphasis on lineups and formations, the current ones in the end seems almost same. Like for a long ball game the ideal formation should be marked.
I'm from South Africa and my wishlist goes like this:
1. South Africans have been loyal to FIFA for so many years that maybe,just maybe this is the right time for you to give them their own national league known as PSL in the next edition of the game.
2. South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP and amid to that they built some beautiful stadiums. The likes of Soccer City, Moses Mabida Stadium,Nelson Mandela Bay,And a few more which you all saw. Please Add our beloved PSL League in the game, where Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates would be joined by Mamelodi Sundowns and the 13 other remaining teams which in total will be 16 teams.
3. Spice it up a bit,Give us African leagues atleast 6 for now. Here in Africa we have CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and CAF CONFEDERATION CUP,Which are just like UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE Put them in the next edition please.
Please consider us,Giving us this would be a good way to give back to your fanbase in Africa.
From Eric
THANK YOU.
-singing coachs, scauts
-Singing players
-Manager
-set number of teams (included Youngs teams) (young player carrers, few young leages)
-mode of change teams spnsor of kits and stadiums bands
Removing training as it currently is and replacing it with the ability to train a certain position and training skills and weak foot. (crucial)
I would like you to add the option of matching the uniform according to what I want to use or have to wear because of the opponent! Ex: I'm playing with Liverpool x Manc. United ... I want to play in red shirt and white shorts and purple stockings ... I can and do not go and have to choose the whole uniform the second or third.
Att.
David Garcia
-the better your players play through the course of the career the higher their overalls go
-overalls change based on form (Welbeck is 76 but scores 4 in 3 games overall goes up to 80 until he plays bad)
-overalls change when played in different positions (bellerin is 80 at RB but 75 at RW) had this feature in fifa 07 don't know why you got rid of it
-injuries affecting overall
-if a player tears his ACL and is out for 8 months their overall should drop slightly
same goes for youth players and their potential
-Potential
-If a youth player is playing very well their potential should change
-POTENTIAL SHOULDN’T BE SET
-Late Bloomers (older players that are playing very well should still have their overalls going up (PRIME EXAMPLE ADURIZ FROM BILBAO)
-Transfers
-REALISTIC TRANSFERS
-if teams get relegated they lose their best players
-if teams get promoted they buy lots of players
-realistic LOANS. Hate when San Lorenzo come knocking on my door for Mavropanos
-Buy Back Clauses
-Loan to Buy Deals (don’t know if this is included already)
-Youth Players actually accept loan deals
-ability to offer players to teams
-realistic swap transfers. If i am offering Dortmund Elneny for Weigl and they ask me for 20 million extra i will freak on the next fifa
-ability to offer loans for swaps like the bonucci higuain trade
-Youth System
-more nations to scout from. (hungary, and so on)
-Youth League
-Sick and tired of 18 year old Johnny Nobody emailing me asking me for PT. There should be a youth league to play youth players in and maybe send older players that aren’t playing well.
-Realistic faces for scouting (shouldn’t see white people named Chung Lee)
-balanced youth players (buddy shouldn’t be 6foot9 with 26 heading)
-Youth League
-to add to my point above
-a U21 team.
-replaces youth squad
-can play other youth squads in a youth league of all the other clubs in the league
-ability to upgrade or downgrade players (affects morale)
-if Welbeck isn’t playing well i send him down to play with the reserves
-Player Relationships
-MORALE
-Players can come to you and you can respond. (if Johnny nobody asks to play over Aubameyang you can respond NO)
- Player Expectations and REALISTIC SQUAD ROLES (not every incoming transfer is going to be crucial in a newly promoted side)
-Agent Relationships
-build a relationship with agents (JORGE MENDES)
-get players for cheaper if your cool with their agents
-Team Relationships
-If Arsenal and Middlesborough do 10 deals in a year they are most likely to do business together in the future
-could have a little metre to measure the relationship
-EXAMPLE Tottenham and Arsenal have a Low metre because they hate each other so they will charge ridiculous prices or refuse to sell
-Ability to offer players to Teams (Messi is 37 and 81 overall, you can offer him to Newell’s Old Boys for free)
-Chemistry
-BRING THIS BACK PLEASE ITS ON ULTIMATE TEAM
-players perform poorly or well based on team chemistry. (french speaking players perform better with each other)
-Manager Contracts
-able to negotiate contracts as a manager with expectations and all that jazz
-able to move to any club when contract is over not just the clubs offered in the selection.
-If i win the Champions League with Arsenal and I want to manage in Japan for a season i should be able to (IN FIFA 07 ONCE THE SEASON WAS OVER YOU HAD A LIST OF ALL THE CLUBS IN ALL THE LEAGUES THAT WERE INTERESTED IN YOU AND YOU SELECTED ONE. IF YOU HAVE A POOR SEASON THE CLUBS IN THE LEAGUE ARE LIMITED (FOR EXAMPLE YOU GET RELEGATED WITH TOTTENHAM, NO TOP TEAMS WILL SHOW UP IN THE LEAGUE SELECTED)
-Position Changing
-Kind of ties in with the whole overall bit. BUT, if Bellerin is performing really well as a RW i can train him so that becomes his main position and RB stays as a secondary position
-Another Example Van Dijk. I want Van Dijk as a CDM I can train him so that becomes his main position and his overall boosts up when he is placed there. (Overall Boost. how its going to work. If the overall changing system is implemented and he is a 78 when placed at CDM. Once trained his overall will become 81 when CDM is first position.
-HAVE THIS IN ULTIMATE TEAM WITH THE POSITION CHANGING CARDS IT CAN HAPPEN
-Kit Numbers
-HATE when new transfers are given the open numbers in that team.
-For Example Messi is Number 10. He gets transferred to Atletico Madrid and he is given number 44. WHY??
-Friendles
-In FIFA 07 you could choose what teams you wanted to have a friendly with and you could split ticket pricing. (30/70 or 40/60)
-Smaller clubs would have to split a larger amount for bigger clubs to play them.
-Sponsorship Deals
-IN FIFA 07
-when you would start up a new career mode you would have an option to sign a sponsorship deal with a company with a bunch of goal bonuses and stuff
-THIS IS IDEAL WITH RTG career modes because it adds a lot much needed funds to the side
-Stadium Customization
-Only Generic Stadiums
-Can Add Seating for extra ticket $$
-Can expand and generic stadiums must be upgraded when promoted. Makes it more realistic as Macclesfield won’t be going into the Prem with a 2500 seat stadium
-Team Staff
-In fifa 07 you were able to upgrade staff and it would affect your players.
-There was a fitness coach, Pitch Caretaker, Physic and so on
-A high level fitness coach would boost the energy for the next match. Physic would reduce injury and Injury recovery time. Youth coach would Bolster the youth players and so on
-manager customization
-Being able to customize the manager the same as a player
-Manager Switching, maybe seeing Mourinho take over Arsenal and so on
- I take over Arsenal, and Unai Emery takes a job at Valencia and keeping his face in the game
-Game Face
-BRING THIS BACK PLEASE only thing I'm saying from player career.
-this was loads of fun when playing career mode although it could use some fixing maybe use the same software as NBA LIVE
-Existing Players Career Mode
-when you retire with a player and want to start a career you keep the players face
-i like to start a player career mode with veteran players and retire right away and start managing a team. HATE when i start a career with Yaya Toure and I lose his face.
-Cutscenes
-interactive cutscenes like the journey
-MOTM cut scenes
-interactive press conferences.
-Create a Club
-Back to Fifa 07 we were able to create clubs.
-starting from scratch being able to choose own transfer and wage budget
-tattoos,more hairstyles(hairstyles of real players),
maybe scars or moles?
-More accessories like glasses(like Edgar Davids) ,head bands,finger sleeves
-Be able to chose your nationality in player career
Career Mode:
-Bring back “Request for Funds”
-Scout youth players from any country
Please EA, consider these suggestions
-Players from China youth academy should look more Chinese
-creating a player should have tattoos,more hairstyles and scars
1) The ability, as a manager, to leave a club whenever you want. Why can't you do this is mind boggling.
- More manager positions available when moving clubs
- Some clubs could give you greater incentives (perhaps more say over transfers, more money in transfer funds, more control over scouting.
2) When signing players, depending on a variety of factors like; their mental stats or current position in current team, status of your club, your manager reputation etc they should request different things. Perhaps they request to be captain/greater game time/clause that says a buyout gets inserted in contract if your club doesn't get promoted or win the league.
3) Loaning players should be easier. In FIFA 19, young players who aren't De Ligt etc often refuse to go on loan
4) Bigger clubs should have greater abilities than smaller clubs. Why a Serie B, League 2, Bundesliga 2, Mex Liga
teams have the ability to scout all over the world or setup youth camps in every corner of the world is so
unrealistic.
5)Your club grows. I'm not saying Licensed stadiums get bigger, but for lower league teams or teams with unlicensed stadiums, they should change. Make use of those random stadiums in the game that aren't connected with a club.
6) You start a career and get offered an International Job in a matter of weeks! get rid of this. Prove yourself first and make it realistic. If I win the treble with Barcelona, why am I being offered to manage to manage a 'smaller nation'. This would only make sense if my manager's chosen nationality is from that country.
7) The ability to change a position of a player. If a player is RM/CM/LM, but main one is RM, we should be able to change the primary to either CM or LM.
That's all for now. Any comments from EA or other posters are welcome. We all love FIFA
It would be great to have the EA Sports Radio back in Career Mode, I remember Tony Cascarino was one of the people on there. It was a nice touch during menu time.
More media variations which affect commentary and performance of players (depending on their mental stats)
– Media ask you a question about your under performing striker and you hammer him in the press, it should be brought up in commentary and his in game ratings (stamina etc) either suffers or increases for the next game depending on his mental attributes.
Commentary needs looking at
– community shield is being played and martin tyler says ‘its been a long road to get to this final’ or words to that effect. How nobody noticed this in testing I’ve got no clue.
Idk how I feel in regards to Create A Club as they would presumably would have to start in the lowest league of whatever country we place them in. For some nations, there’s only one league!
HOWEVER
I’d like a kit editor. I understand for license reasons you can’t change kit supplier logo, or sponsorship logo but it would be cool if there was pre-loaded versions of Adidas, Nike, Puma etc kit designs within the game. Perhaps that still wouldn’t be aloud because those companies sell shirts etc off the back (no pun intended) of people seeing the game uploaded on the internet and if the kit design shown doesn’t actually exist then they would perhaps lose sales. It’s a tricky one. If Create A Club was introduced then you could go the full way with kit suppliers, sponsors on kits etc, having a wide choice.
Nike ID boots editor would be cool. I buy the boots from the catalogue and change my players’ boots every time.
There are several things that I wish to be added to EA Sports Fifa20
Gameplay
-Injuries
When a player gets injured now they lay on the ground, get up, when they don’t have the ball they act fine but as soon as they get the ball there injured again. EA, please fix this and add doctors to career mode and such that if you’re an owner (ill get into this later) you can hire. A better doctor will heal your players faster and offer more options for treatment but you will have to pay them more. Sometimes a strecher should be required or you see the player walk off the field and sitting on the bench. You should also have multiple options to treat players like when they have a back injury you can choose to have them get surgery and it will fix the problem but they will be out longer or just get a massage and a cortisone shot and they are not out that long but it may be a bigger issue in the long term.
-Bench
Where the heck is it? The bench should be more visible during substitutions and throw-ins. Also, when making a substitution, the player coming onto the field needs to be at the 4th official instead of just appearing out of thin air when the other player comes off.
-Fans
The fans should be dressed differently for weather conditions and also leave the stadium if their team is losing. Also, the games are always “sold out” which is completely unrealistic. If their team is winning you should see like the fans doing a wave or something cool. If the team is losing a lot there should be fewer fans in the stadium. Fans should be chanting different things, etc
-Career Mode
Just needs a fresh new look. The youth academy system needs to work better and the press conferences and emails should be more interactive. You should be able to have multiple responses to any questions from the media or emails and your personality changes depending on how you answer (like the journey)
-You should be able to train your entire youth team
-argue with refs, players, and managers
-5 training slots if you simulate, unlimited if you actually play the training
-all teams should have a “B” team that you can control and loan players too
-players get in trouble for parting or being late to training
-give pep talks to players after games and at halftime
-speak to players before subbing on
-post-match interviews
-Dialogue with players about a new contract, transfer requests – multi-choice answer
New Game Additions
-Argue With The Ref I think that in any game mode your player should be able to go up to the ref and argue the call and see if the decision changes if the ref thinks that he has made the correct call then you may be shown a yellow card.
–VAR Referees in the game should have access to the new VARs (video assistant referee) to get help. A lot of the calls are wrong and that's fine since its more realistic but they need to review and change some of them. To get the VAR (i know this sorta unrealistic but, the player can press like X (on Xbox) during a pause in play to argue with the refs and ask for VAR. If VAR is used you see the ref going to look at the play.
-New Leagues and Natl teams
add USL (US 2nd Divison)
and more national teams
New Game Modes
-Be the ref Completely new game mode! You can ref other online games, do a ref career mode, and more! You have to make the right call otherwise you’ll get fired. You get paid more based on how you do. Do you wanna be an assistant or the center referee. The VAR? You can go up in levels and eventually find yourself reffing the world cup final.
It would just be simple controls, like on Xbox: X = Blow The whistle for a free kick/penalty then the direction B/A
Y = Get help from the Var LB = Red Card RB = Yellow Card B = Make a throw in symbol right A = Make a throw in symbol left
-Women's Modes The Same as normal but women instead of men. Should be available in manager and player careers and UT. More fun and fair.
-Natl Team Career Mode Why can’t you just start as a national team manager? You could have been a really great coach who left coaching for Liverpool to coach the US natl team. Almost all natl team coaches coach only the Natl Team when they do and don’t work part-time at FC Barca (what my career is with Barca and Portugal?).
-we also need CONCACAF champions league & the Gold Cup
-Owner Career
You can own a franchise, make big decisions and so on. (sorta like madden but better) You should be able to build a new stadium, hire medical staff and fire your coach. but also control your academy and live your own personal life. (go to meeting, buy a house, etc).
-argue with your manager
-change jerseys and sponsors
-new/expand stadium
-change ticket pricing
-start new team from scratch (expansion team in MLS?)
SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY ON iPad/iPhone
Fifa 20 should be available on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Windows, OS, IOS and maybe more. The more accessible the better.
First they age should start from 18 it’s absurd to stat at 21..
second they should be more appearances to choose from, more hairstyles and tattoos should be added like how journey is.....
make the my career mode interesting.....give the player more choices...the age matters 17 or 18
- Que en la liga mexicana se añada el calendario de la vida real asi como lo hacen en la premier league y liga santander
first of all - I wait since the introduction of Scouting in the Career mode that Scouting in WALES will be possible!!!
Especially since the Wales national side is included in FIFA and the real Team is constantly for years now in the top 20 of the actual FIFA table.
The 2nd thing that frustrates me is that there are a bit too limited Options if you want to change the club and if you reached a certain level you can't go back to a lower or smaller league team! The only chance would be if you get yourself sacked, which isn't that easy sometimes & you waist a Season.
Therefore I'd like to be able to quit!
The 3rd thing is I really liked to be able to play a career mode with a womens team, which would of Course mean to include a womens league.
Due to that I'd liked to see that the womens Bundesliga, Division 1 Féminine, Womens Super League & the National Women's Soccer League would be included.
By the way - talking about including leagues I like to see the Canadian Premier League & finally an african league - which should be the south african, would get included and some more teams especially non european (more european teams would be welcome as well!) should be included:
like TP MAZEMBE, who an almost regular member of the club WC,
Maybe Saprissa from Costa Rica because if the CPL would be included the North american Champions league would make more sense.
And may some south american if not asian Teams to make the international Cups more realistic.
Furthermore you should be able to invest the money you save or generate via transfers to modernise facilities like youth academies and make your stadium bigger or maybe include more staff - from doctor to fitness coach and Co. which you could hire like currently the the scouts.
And finally I think it is quite sexists to not include a WOMAN as manager character you can choose and I wonder why the option was removed since it was possible some years ago and meanwhile there was Corinne Diacre from 2014-2017 as headcoach in Clermont (which was & is also included in FIFA) and she made a got Job and was at least once voted as Manager of the month and only went on to train the french womens national side since the FFF was desperate because they probably the best team but kept dissappointing.
However overall this is my favourite game I play since 98 and the career mode is also still by far my favoured thing, but especially the 1st 2 and the last (because I thing its important) points really frustrade me and the rest is only fine tuning.
Also EA never do career mode DLC but I would happily pay money for new leagues to be added to the game, maybe like a new league a month.
