One thing that should be a must-have in player career mode is comming off the bench. Unbelievable how for the career modes have come without this being an option. You should go through phases like not being selected at all, to giving you debut off the bench and eventually being part of the starting XI.
2. FREE KICK SKILLS IN PLAYER CAREER
You never get the chance to be your teams go-to guy for free kicks because FK ACCURACY is always about 56 and has extremely bad potential in training. And the level up system in the game for freekicks is pointless because you have to score freekicks to get better at freekicks which you can't do because you don't get selected because you're a bad free-kick taker....... see where this is going? No matter what type of player i choose, this remains a problem.
3. OVERALL AMOUNT OF FREEKICKS CAUSED BY K.I.
The KI tackles in a way that you go through several seasons in a row without receiving a single freekick close enough to a goal for a direct FK, unless you ronaldinho the heck out of the defense with skill moves which I have no clue how to do. 99% of tackles by the KI are flawless standing tackles, making it impossible to create exciting moments like direct free-kicks.
The manager faces are there. The customization is there. The mechanics are in other EA games... figure it out EA.
2) Retro kits - It would be cool to select older kits from teams. Ex: All the different Man U kits when they were sponsored by Nike and then all the following Adidas ones.
3) Mix and match kits- If we could (for example) have the shirts from the home kit, the shorts from the away kit and the socks from the third kit and mix and match them accordingly (as most teams do in real games to have more color separation from opponents).
4) Undersocks - 90% of players cut the feet of their team socks off and wear their own (usually white) socks underneath. The option to do this and what color or brand the undersock is.
5) 3/4 sleeve length option for shirts and undershirts as well as the option to change the color of the undershirt to be something than just the team color (same with tape)
6) More team sideline gear for the managers to wear. I know you can unlock the Chelsea stuff in Volta but it should be unlockable in the Manager Career mode instead of just a suit or track suit with the team badge.
7) Less comical celebrations and more realistic ones. If I score a goal and run towards one of my teammates it should go to a cutscene where I celebrate with them or with the player who had the assist.
I only buy Fifa because i like to play the career mode. Over the last few years you guys have made career mode a lot less enjoyable. I love career mode because i try to mimic what is going on in the real world so after this season of playing with Ajax i am trying to player swap Ziyech to Chelsea but the game keeps saying Chelsea is only looking for a striker , right back or a goal keeper. Just return in to how it was in the old Fifas. 2nd all us as team managers to choose which team our player goes out on loan to.
Also when managing a National team at least have some kind of stats provided on who is in form or who is not. Thanks you if you guys make these changes if not i will have to check out PES
Footballers must be reborn after retirement. For example, Messi has to be born again at the age of 17 after retiring.
2. Increase the possible number of youth player scouts.
It should give option to scout from more nations, gives more authenticity.
Youth scouting should be more realistic, like giving an option to scout only a specific overall level, a specific age, and other such options.
Please give option to scout 12-14 year olds also.
3. As we are on youths, give an option to manage youth as well as U-23 teams. Adds authenticity and give more play time. Good way to rival FM21.
4. Option to recruit whole range of staff- Director of football, Scouts (wages should be there), head of youth development, marketing team, medical team.
5. Option to negotiate marketing deals, sponsorship deals, etc.
6. Option to expand stadium, and many other facilities. These should be made interactive (make use of frostbite). Club expansion should be visible during matches. Authenticity.
7. A request- make it easy to get rid of deadwood. Make transfers realistic. Sometimes it become too easy to make a team like Salford Champions league winner in 5-6 years
8. No need for us to keep simming the players’ training every week. Let us create a training schedule for everyone and that should be followed. Period.
Or make use of assistant manager.
9. Please stop giving injuries on only 1st of month.
10. If youth player wants out, give an option to interact with him and may be get sometime.
It should be comparatively very easy to loan u-20 players.
11. While loaning a player, there must be an option to negotiate for his playing time.
12. Please get rid of this GTN system. It is annoying. Let us explore all the players like we use to in fifa 12, getting to see overall and simple search.
13. There’s a glitch that if a player gets listed for loan/sale for too long, you can’t remove him from list. Please correct it.
14. In transfers, when we get option to exchange the player, give option to exchange multiple players.
15. There should be option for manager to manage his personal life, personal expenses, etc. (use frostbite)
16. There should be an option for the player in youth team to be on first team for a specific period and then go back to youth squad.
17. Youth development targets given should be realistic.
18. Give option to raise debt, clubs going public, making finances more interactive.
19. Continuous bad games, winning awards like golden boot, player of the year, etc should have impact on transfer speculations, and increase player value significantly.
20. Give an option to request funds from the board, mid season, based on performance and targets.
21. add FIFA Clubs World Cup
If the game hasn't got this, then I don't play it and I have now stopped buying them because of this.
Why is a player who fineds by a yellow card in several games not deprived of the next game?
2. Add a part where u can watch cpu playing for example: like if liverpool and Manchester city is fighting for the title u can go and watch Manchester city and see how there match is going but that is if your team is not playing on that day and make it that we can jump out off it at anytime.
Make the celebrations more realistic in every part of the game. Ex: give people medaling and give the most goals Scored player is trophy on the field same for the goal keeper and the Coach but that’s if the winner is in the title celebration.
Some suggestions:
1. Growth in players attributes should be based on match ranking, play time as well. Currently it seems to be based only on age and not on game involvement.
2. Increase the possible number of youth player scouts.
It should give option to scout from more nations, gives more authenticity.
Youth scouting should be more realistic, like giving an option to scout only a specific overall level, a specific age, and other such options.

20. Give an option to request funds from the board, mid season, based on performance and targets.
In short, get the beat of Fifa, Fifa Manager, Football Manager, PES.
I know its a lot to ask, but EA can atleast put them on agenda to be completed by next edition. Show that agenda to gamers and that would instil confidence.
Your ideas are already out there in FM21 :)
2.Play in the streets or stadiums in career mode.
3.Fix up Stadium’s or Build our stadium in career mode.
1. ability to change the logo or jersey
2. expansion teams
3. you should be able to get mad at your manager for not playing you enough
4. you should be able to talk to your manager
5. you should be able to talk to your player FIRST
6. club world cup
7. confederations cup
8. watch the entire draw for tournaments
9. trophy room
10. make the transfers more realistic for example if you are a bad team and you somehow have enough money you shouldnt be able to sign a really good player.
11. it should be harder to sign really good players
12. ability to decorate office
13. stats for your players
14. i know this one has nothing to d with career mode but PLEASE ADD THE COMMENTATOR WHO COMMENTATED LEwANDOWSKIS NINE MINUTE MIRACLE because he gets really excited when goals are scored like " OH YOU JUST CANT DO IT!!!! YOU JUST CAN NOT BE THAT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
15. the youth development goals are ridiculous try to make them more reasonable
16. the international job offers are ridiculous, one week you get an offer from india the next week you get an offer from spain then the next week you get an offer from finland!!. try to make them more reasonable
17. VAR
18. ability to schedule freindlies
19. if you bench a player who is crucial for one game even if it is the end of the season and you have already won the title they still get mad at you. very unrealistic
20. show snippets of the locker room and half time and before the game
21. give a speech at half time
22. give a speech when moving clubs and reitring
23. show clubs and fans arriving at the stadium
24. a big glitch that you must fix is when your players get mad at you for benching them even though they are injured or have a red card
25. you should be able to type your own answer in interviews
26. the names of the youth players are terrible. i have gotten the same name mulitple times and a few times the neames are like luuk van leewuen. make them more realisitic
Being able to loan stars like Harry Wilson for e.g., in career mode, it's impossible to loan players like this as most of the clubs will only let them go if you pay for them
Realistic Commentary - it's been the same since Fifa 12
A.I. keep getting away with heavy tackles and I never get a free kick for it, while they get free kicks when I clearly win the ball - this needs fixing on fifa 21
Being able to choose your own board expectations - say for example, if you manage west ham, the board wanted me to finish in a Europa League place in my 1st season, not right, hopefully we can choose what we want on the next fifa
1. Guard of honor
2. When the a team is being trashed by an opponent a cut scene of fans leaving
3. Managers other than yourself being fired and being announced to new clubs
4. Option to buy on loan negotiations
5. If an older players decline based on their form and playtime and not so much their age.
6. Make scoring and assists records update as seasons go by creating milestones
Career mode- As manager make it possible to "coach" the game. Right now I either play the while game or simulate. To just be on the sidelines and make tactical changes or substitutions with an accelerated game speed. This option is possible with nba2k and its great for manager mode.
1. Why does only leagues my club plays in + european leagues being really simulated? When you go to check out other leagues, those results are being ''fake-simulated'' on a spot, check those league results next day and results will be completely different. Its just a lie. Teams from other leagues do not suffer fatigue, injuries nor have stats, because their domestic games do not exist in your reality. How stupid you think we are, its been like that for how long, 20 years, its 2020. Make all leagues with real simulated games, I dont think we would care if loading between days would take a little bit longer...
2. Why its so easy to earn money? I know some people like fantasy of turning no name club to powerhouse, but at least give us difficulty levels before starting the mode... Player will earn morey money in premier league than same player would make in Eredivisie, and I would like attention to detail there, but it is like that in real life, because players from eredivisie are unproved and yet to get contract from big clubs. WHat sense does it make when Mo Salah, who already gets Premier league money, decides to sign with my Eredivise team for LESS money...
3. You have coaches scanned already, make teams actually fire coaches, hire new ones, sim generate new coaches, better yet make retired players turn into coaches with stats. Coaches would have their prefered lineups and player nationalities, which they would take to their clubs. How about that? Now I need to buy into the teams never change coaches and even their tactics for 15 years. And speaking of...
4. Why 15 year lock? Make me play the mode as long as I can, or it is just another manipulative feature to make players buy game every year? News flash, I dont...
5. Why dont other teams have youth programs? When I accept Liverpool job and get access to it, I clearly see they never had youth scouting or youth players, the youth programs does not exist except for the player. WHen you scout for new youngsters, sometimes it will tell you that different team signed said player, but its just another lie, you really think after 10 years of same stuff, we wouldnt notice its a lie and that AI do not infact have youth programs, you we are that stupid? Not to mention training and youth scouting is OP as hell. If you give me ability to train players every week, why dont AI teams dont get that? WHy after 10 years, 50% of new promising young players seem to be from my youth program...?
6. Why do newly generated players till this day have generic boots and tucked in jerseys. ANd why do I need to be logged in to the internet to edit players, its a single player mode, its annoying, I usually plug in my PS4 without internted, I need to to get a freaking cable every time I want to untuck jersey from that dumb newly generated player...
7. Simple stuff like being able to see what players from my league are injured? Its asinine that game dont have such basic feature.
8. Why I cant till this day set potential to players I create? I dont want every player I created to have 99 potential, I creating freaking Lithuanians, they are not exactly good, I just want them in the game. Not to mention we asked for 10 years to be able to choose any position for edited/created player, but we still cant. Is this a sports game or what?
Add better IA features to the board and news reactions, because after just a couple of seasons everything becomes too predictable and repetitive.
Add a trophy room or better yet, add the club's awards to the manager's office where you go to sign a player. Perhaps you could also add the club's past trophies, or just what you've won the the club. It would also be really cool to be able to buy cabinets and stands and maybe even furniture through EA Catalog to decorate the office. MOTM award can be also displayed here.
When you save a screenshot during a match, wether it is from a goal or from players celebrating with a trophy, you should be able to hang those saved screenshots as pictures in the office.
This one is more of a fix than a feature, sometimes, with the Spanish commentators when an offside goal is scored, it takes them a while to realize it.
Add more variety and realism to the commentators comments and emotions.
When your team plays against a team that has a player that you previously managed, if that player left in good terms, he should come and greet you before and/or after a game. Just like in real life.
Better and more training seasons.
A youth league. Maybe simulated.
More realistic atmosphere when younpmay against an archi rival and tougher game, plus pressure from the board and the news.
Ability to contract more coaching staff like trainers, doctors, youth managers (if youth league is added), etc.
More loan options, like option to buy -or not, if loaning out a player option to add clause that can't play against your team.
Avility to organize/request pre-season friendlies.
Fair Play award to teams with less cards at end of season for every championship.
Best youth player awards, etc.
Better reward, news coverage, offers for top scorer of differebt competitions. Not the same old news article, which has been a good improvement, but there's room for more. Balon d or style.
Add FIFA Club World Cup.
Fans booing a player if had controversial past at club or went on to play for archi-rivals. Commentators should notice and comment about it.
Fans cheering certain plays and also cheering emblematic players when being substituted or doing a good play or effort. Commentators should notice and comment about it.
Fans cheering retiring players on their last game, either on a play and/or if they are suvstituted and camera shows the player clapping at the fans. Maybe fans can even have a flag or mosaic with player name or number. Commentators should notice and comment about it.
Sometimes, Spanish commentators make nonsense comments at the start of a fame like "we have a magnificent fame today" or "these 2 times like to play good football" when I'm 1st and playing against some of the last teams on the table.
Complaints from the board when an expensive newly signed player shows poor performance and on the other hand congratulations when performance is great.
2-way communication with board, coaching staff and players. Better communication options.
YOY, we keep making these "wish-lists" and they just end up being "wish-lists". EA Sports will NEVER listen to anything we have to say about CM.
EA can easily turn round and say "be lucky u lot have got CM. There was a time we were looking to discontinue CM and concentrate solely on UT. So be lucky, else you are most welcome to purchase PES".
2.The possibility to create a team from the beginning including a stadium
symbol
uniform
3. Hall of Fame of all the degrees you have achieved and all the great players who played for you at the club
4. Retirement games like in real life
5. A player's premiere games that will be more clear and bold that this is his debut game including big signs
6.Open option to talk to your players
7. Ability to change a player's hair color to make it feel all the more real because this year's Ambapa Neimar and Ronaldo changed their haircut many times and in Fifa it has only changed once this is a rope that offends the realism of the game
محمد صلاح
-Also the stats of the youth players should be changed , it unbelievable that ronoaldo's regen have only 2 weak foot and 1 skill moves .
- after 5/6 years in career mode i would like to change the kits and the sponsors .
Option A - make your kit like in the pro clubs mode.
Option B - add a lot of retro to all clubs to the EA catalogue.
- option to create a club ( career mode + kick off + copy the badge and the kits to FUT , just like PES do with their mode )
- more national teams .
- in kick off with friends let the home team captain choose the side of the coin , could e great to start the fifa night with friends and even before the match start it already have that little drama.
- maybe another chapter of alex hunter could be nice , but add dlc's after the journey end .
- FUT , actually im not a great fan of this mode , but in my eyes its look like they need to add more things like option to add skill moves and weak foot stars to players , or option to create your own badge .
- all the icons can be transferred to clubs , and the icons club can get players as same .
- all the icons appears in this club (kaka , ronaldo, henry , trezeguet )
- in kick off , when you choose random team it could be more dramatic LOL
- player career mode should have more options like what to do with the salary you get , more realistic contacts like bonus for goals/clean sheet.
If we can buy a more beautiful shoes or buy cars or save the money for the retire to buy a club and continue to manager mode .
- more training drills that improve more stats like heading , aggression , acceleration , even to youth players a specific drills to improve their working rate and skill moves / weak foot .
- option to create :
Stadiums
Clubs
Shoes
Balls
Players
Leagues
Kits
Sponsors.
Yeah right hhh maybe in fifa 2055 .
* Offers to manage other clubs should be dependent on your track record - if you’ve been succeeding at a high level or at a mid table team you can get the opportunity to manage a big club. Vacancies should only appear if a big team is underperforming - should never be able to manage Man City if they’re 1st in the Prem at the time
* Job difficulty should also semi depend on the board’s patience - Chelsea has a large manager turnover therefore underperforming is more likely to see you sacked than if you were at Arsenal where managers tend to get time.
* Perhaps in the rare season one big/small team will have a shock season (near top 6/down near mid table) e.g Leicester & Chelsea in 2015/16
* Full season stats - I.e who has the most tackles/home tables/away tables - make these actually work - at the moment they don’t add up in that one team has scored 60 goals but there are only 16 assists across players
* Career stats - how many goals a player has scored for the club and other clubs etc
* Ability to play as real managers such as Guardiola and Klopp and Arteta etc
* Real managers to be sacked and hired by other teams in a realistic manner I.e Eddie Howe getting a promotion to Everton after a good season
* Log of previous winners of cups and the result in the final i.e 2020 FA Cup Man City 2-1 Chelsea
* Trophy room where you can see what the club has won and what you’ve won for the club
* League & Club stats regarding all time top scorers, appearances, clean sheets, no of MOTM awards
* In-club goal of the month competition for the games you’ve played - would discourage people from skipping and would increase morale of winner
* Realistic national team offers - shouldn’t be getting the Netherlands job offer if I’m 13th in league 1 with Shrewsbury
Transfers:
* Buy back clause & option to buy clause in transfer negotiations
* If your team gets relegated, a few big players will look to leave the club and their value will go down
* Player agents approaching your club to talk about a player’s interest in joining
* Better coverage in the news if a player is in conflict with his club or wishes to be transferred
* Log of most expensive transfers in history running through career mode
* Remove the level of odd transfers with only 1/2 big big transfers per window
* No club should be signing so many players in one position - you move to a club and they have 7 good strikers
* You should be limited to a budget within the club not just transfers - make the wage bill under a certain amount or risk having to sell players
* Club “expectations” have to change - so mundane and repetitive - they should be realistic and focus more on brand of football and number of goals scored than winning the quadruple
* Financial Fair Play with threat of no European football / transfer ban if you commit it
* Ability to sign sponsorship deals with major brands to boost income - size of club
In Game:
* Derby matches should be far more feisty with louder crowds and fiercer tackles
* Every game feels the same regardless (except champions league) so top of the table clashes / relegation scraps should have more hype
* VAR in use whereby a tight decision may be analysed and possibly overturned (but with the ability to skip if you want)
* More serious injuries, although rare, should see stretchers come onto the pitch and the stadium clap player off
* In the case of a dangerous tackle - teams/players may square up to or taunt each other
* Ability to organise your own friendlies - and in different forms e.g a testimonial for a retiring player
* Commentating is so f***ing dead and repetitive - need more dialogue and analysis not just one set description for each player/team - commentators need to go mental when a sick goal is scored / last minute winner is or dwell on how it’s a shock if the holders go out of the competition
Stadium:
* Lower attendances if a certain team is having a poor season or if it’s a carabao Cup 3rd round fixture
* Fans should exit the stadium if your 4-0 down etc
* Far better Tifos could be used in games just like the ones we’ve seen recently in the champions league at Zenit, Dortmund and PSG
* Club heroes may be in the stands for big games such as Schmeichel at United/Gerrard at Liverpool/Dunne at Man City
* Can increase club stadium BUT this should be very expensive and also wipe out transfer budget to avoid over usage (Carlisle wouldn’t have 3000 fans in Premiership)
* Far more stadiums are required for Championship, Serie A
* A Kit modifier to stop the boredom of playing in same kit for 5 years (I appreciate sponsorship deals make this difficult so you can’t change the brand only the design and colours)
- Be able to start communication with my players to congratulate them or talk about they performance, etc. Make this have some effect on morale and performance.
- More and better reactions from the board, fans and press/news depending on performances. Current ones are too repetitive, generic and predictable. I would like to see a better board and news reaction after winning to UCL or League titles in a row, for example, instead of the typical, super-predictable response. Especially when winning it with a smaller team.
- Increased or decreased player score when out on loan, depending on performance. Monthly reports on such players would be nice, too, that would help if a loaned player is doing great we can end loan early for a fee and bring him back.
- Organize friendly pre-season tournaments and invite teams, add to calendar, pay for prizes and other necessary accommodations.
- Get player offers directly from agents, not just clubs.
- More and better and more realistic communication options when signing players
- More diverse and specific questions and answers on press conferences
- Stadium upgrades & sponsoring deals
- Fans booing former players who joined archi-rivals and commentators talking about it.
- Better press conference and board pressure when playing against biggest rivals.
- Talk to players when they decide to retire at end of season to convince them to stay.
- Pressure and more detailed opinion from the board about selling or not selling a player.
- All-time transfer history if requested, even from previous seasons. As well as results and top scorers from past seasons.
- Send players back to Youth Academy after poor performance. This would work best if a simulated youth league is added to Career Mode.
- Option to flip coin with ref before game start (make it optional). Some Super Nintendo games had this!
- Option to decline sending players to play for their national teams, if not required, for friendlies for example (this should affect player's mood, negatively or positively, depending on player relation with national team coach and feelings for his national team, age, position in the roster, etc.)
- Opportunity to convince players after they decide to leave because of low play time or low salary. Be able to renegotiate after a couple of weeks or further communication.
- More easily compare players attributes in Transfer Central. Similar to how it is shown on other areas of the Transfer window.
- More training sessions availability.
- Option to only train players that won't take part of the next game, at times where regular training is not available.
- New players can mention which number they prefer, and if given, increase their happiness a bit.
- Option to choose 2nd captain.
- Send list of players to UEFA for international tournaments. Same thing applied for other continental confederations.
- Combine away/local short/jersey, "mix & match"
- Be able to hire more coaching staff such as physical trainers and massage therapist and doctors and improve scores on practices and also recover faster from certain injuries depending on what quality of people you have working for you.
Y que narre martinoli
I agree with OfficialJGorman, the individual trainings need to be bumped up to the whole squad preferably. I also agree that team trainings and set pieces would be greatly appreciated to train the squad and get a feel for who's in form and who needs to sit the next game out.
I also believe that there should be a reserve league and/or a youth league to help the youth get better and so you can further see which players stand out for you.
Setting
I like the idea of getting more involved in the clubs setting such as stadium and training facilities.
***players to have a much less harsh decrease in stats as they age (should be like fifa 15 where in many cases older players actually gained stats, and their pace may decrease by as much as (-3) for their whole career or nothing at all)***
Not all stadiums are in FIFA, so adding something similar to what LMA Manager offered, so we can use funds to expand our stadiums, chiding from a variety of designs and capacities; adding and expanding facilities too.
SPONSORSHIP
We need to have the option to sign sponsorship deals. This includes advertising, stadium naming, etc. We need to bring in more money to increase our budgets, or use to develop our stadiums.
TRAINING
Enough of this rubbish training of only four players. We should have squad training, set-piece training, and individual training. A far more hands on experience. This game is about realism and training four players once a week (when the game actually lets you) is pointless.
TRANSFERS
a) We need more negotiating options to make it harder to agree a deal. It’s all so basic that we now do it with our eyes closed. It’s needs to offer a challenge, so it feels rewarding AND frustrating.
b) Bring in buy-back clauses.
c) Stagger transfer fees as most clubs do.
d) Be able to offer more than one player in player plus cash deals.
e) When a club makes an offer for one of our players, we should be able to tell them a player or theirs that we want in exchange; plus cash if required.
f) Loan to buy deals. Clubs do this a lot now. Loan for a season for example with an agreed fee to pay at the end of the loan.
YOUTH ACADEMY
This needs an overhaul. We should see 20-30 players listed, be able to train them as per the earlier suggestions made to training, and we should get feed-back from our coaches for how they’re performing.
SCOUTS
This also needs a lot of changes. How often do our 5* scouts come back with rubbish players?! We should see detailed scout reports about the player discovered, who they play for, what they think they’ll cost, etc. Even random suggestions of players discovered who are clubless.
DEFENDING
Please for the love of God put an end to overhead clearances. This just isn’t realistic and hardly ever happens, but we see it in most games. It’s ridiculous. If a defender can’t get to the ball then let it play out.
WEATHER
We need better weather effects, and changeable weather mid game. If it rains currently it looks good before kick off but in the game it’s hard to see it’s raining. Let’s see the rain. Hear it. Different levels of rain too, so some puddles when it’s heavy; especially at lower league level where they can’t afford good pitches or drainage.
NEW MODE *** PRO CAREER ***
I’ve been nudging EA and Mr Zaro for years to create a new Be A Pro mode in the mould of The Journey.
A reactive career mode that feels real.
Start off in a youth team. Performances dictate if you move into the first team or get sold. Performances, media interaction, player interaction, fan interaction, all dictate your career path, good and bad. No script! NO SCRIPT. How fantastic would that be to experience an authentic playing career. Something similar would male career mode as a manager much better also, but this as a Pro Career mode would be immense! And what’s more, EA have the tools to do it already. But we need to shout about it as loudly and frequently as possible. So please screen shot this, copy and paste it to EA and Zaro and Co, and it will come eventually.
I know they listen as some of my suggestions were taken on board, so hopefully they’ll add more for #FIFA21
That’s me for now.
