This suggestion may not make FIFA 17, but feels like an inevitable long-term addition. GR verdict: Mid-season sackings are an issue, but in such instances few fans are going to be worried about a generic Francesco Guidolin or Remi Garde. No problem as with starheads and stadia, do the most popular clubs for FIFA 17, then flesh out the database year-after-year. The issue is likely that there are 650 teams in the game, but only time to scan 30-40 bosses. managers shouting and talking to officials. Having camera close ups of Arsene Wenger during a BPL game would be incredible.

Madden already does it brilliantly, and it's not a new concept for the FIFA series recent Euros and World Cup spin-off games have all featured actual bosses.Ī wide selection of managers should be added, and doing this would change the game, writes EA forum user FullMaEstRo. In Ultimate Team it'd provide an in-match representation of the gold Guardiola/Ancelotti/Klopp card you spent a fortnight saving for, while in career mode it'd mean creating yourself and lining up a few feet away from figures you love to hate, such as Sam Allardyce or Alan Pardew. Real managers and coachesĪ purely cosmetic improvement, but one which would deepen every mode: real life managers appearing on the touchline. The part where it all turned into an advanced trigonometry module? Pass. GR verdict: More set-piece, formation and marking options? Completely in agreement. Dynamic fomations for kick-off, attacking and defending option for zonal marking custom music chants Preach on, brother! Let us create geometrical figures and shapes like triangles, lines (walls), diamonds, trapezia or squares/rectangles during both attack and defence in order to gain space or lessen opponent's space. It was while seeking a kindred spirit that I stumbled upon an incredible rant by FIFA fan DarkGondwanaz who not only wants the set-piece options I do, but also trumpets some astute (if furious) tactical revisions, largely centred on elements removed from past games.īring back man marking bring back custom formations bring back the options for defining players' positioning and work rate, he begins. 23 years of waiting and it still isn't possible, despite PES adding the feature in the mid-2000s only to take it out again. Set-piece and formation specificsįor as long as I've been playing FIFA (Mega Drive, Christmas present, 1993), a major bugbear has been the inability to choose who to send forward for corners. The price idea tallies nicely with reality, too what would the going rate for Odion Ighalo or Jamie Vardy be right now? Although EA would have to be careful not to over-prioritise stats in determining player value. The player's price should depend upon his stats! Leonardordel92 takes this idea one step further: If I have a player in my team for 4-5 seasons, I'd like to see how many games he's played, how many goals he's scored etc overall. Be able to view the history of all leagues. Players with a number of games, goals and assists, writes Rominho 86 on Futhead. history of the players, clubs and competitions. There's justifiable clamour to change that. Yet such delights aren't possible in FIFA, in which all career mode stats are instantly, irreversibly wiped at the end of each season. Long-term stat trackingĪ major pull of Football Manager is its in-game stat tracking, where the Player History screen enables you to instantly reminisce upon a legendary striker's incredible goalscoring record, or admire how your coaching turned a fringe youth prospect into a 200-game, 40-assists winger by his 23rd birthday. There's precedent too, in NHL '94 anniversary mode from NHL 14. (Not that I'm biased.) The anniversary factor scratches EA's back-of-the-box itch, and the mode itself would freshen up the entire game. Six-a-side would help to improve mediocre human players' trick-stick skills (lord knows I need that after regular online hosings), and could even be included in career mode as an additional training option.

And makes sense: on PS2 and PS3 you could get your indoor kicks on FIFA Street, but there's no sign of that series ever coming to current-gen, leaving a local-sports-centre shaped void in our collective existences. This has regularly been mooted on the internet for instance by Reddit user HealthyBacteria but the main advocate is, well, me. I refer, of course, to FIFA 97's wonderful six-versus-six option. Remember it abandoning Madden's once-sacrosanct chronological numbering conventions to mark the NFL series' 25th birthday? There can be no better way to commemorate the introduction of one of FIFA's most popular yet forgotten modes than restoring it in glorious HD.
