Following on from the gameplay thread I made, which has had some excellent suggestions come through for EA to take note (thanks again everyone and keep topping it up!), I thought I'd make one specifically for Manager Mode so I can send stuff on to Gary Paterson.
As we all know MM was one of the things that the FIFA community went apeshit about this year. There were many ideas being implemented but there were a number of key flaws that, literally in some cases, led to the game becoming unplayable.
The size of the outcry for this was arguably bigger than that of those of us who want the gameplay itself to be ping-pong free. Consequently I'd be amazed if EA didn't put a big focus on improving what it already has rather than adding more unfinished game modes. Marcel Kuhn admitted that this was going to be their new stance on things. Plus, we got the impression in pre-FIFA 10 talk as well that EA were looking more to FIFA 11 and 12 for the real MM improvements to kick in as well.
So what I'm hoping to get out of this thread is a number of off-the-pitch improvements, specifically for Manager Mode, possibly Clubs (but only if off-the-pitch - anything that involves actual football should go in the other thread!).
I'll also happily take suggestions for other modes if they are changes that can also be applied to MM or Clubs...
We all know about a lot of the main problems with FIFA 10 - bugs, snow+white ball, rain, etc. So please don't give us those as they're obvious.
I'm after the following sorts of things:-
- Stuff that would improve the transfer system.
- Touches, little or large, that improve the atmosphere, and stop the matches just being a series of friendlies.
- Things FM does that is simple enough to go into FIFA and add a lot to the experience.
- Things that PES ML currently does well that FIFA doesn't.
- Things that no football game has yet done, but would add to the depth and immersion without being too complex for EA to put in!
- Anything that can realistically be applied to something that is a football game and not a management game.
Before we start, I've already posted a few things from here that relate to off-the-pitch stuff.
