After the release of FIFA 17, I think most of us were disappointed by the almost no change between FIFA 16 career mode and FIFA 17 Career Mode. We all know that the new objective system would've taken EA less than 2 weeks to do, meanwhile they were focusing on the pay-to-win Ultimate team all year.



EA, here's a list of things we compiled on the FIFA Careers subreddit that we want you to add. It's been years since the last overhaul of CM, yet every year you add something new to FUT, whether it's the draft from last year, or FUT Champions this year. We're sick and tired of you not caring about the franchise when it's obvious that you care about the money from FUT more than the players.



Since the guys at EA seem to not be able to think of any ideas, here's a list of things to get you going.



More depth to transfers

When we're selling, we want more options than Accept, Reject, or Counter. Let us ask for a player from the buying team. Let us add bonuses like real life such as a bonus payment for awards.



YA Teams, U18 teams, U21 teams, Reserves

Let us manage those younger squads. We know that that isn't what a real manager would do but it adds more depth.



Press Conferences Overhaul

Even PES does this. Let us interact with the fans better than the current bland Praise - Motivate system.



Fix Training

As stated by Reddit user u/redditcyborg, the training is way too fidgety and slow. The 5-second count down should be removed and it should automatically repeat the last week when it's ready unless you change it



Ticket Pricing. Merchandise!

Let us alter the prices of tickets, create merchandise to create profits and make the objectives more reasonable to achieve. With the new scrappy objectives, we need to gain ticket profits but we have no way of controlling that!



Email filters

As the international offers are unrealistic (fix that too EA), we'd like to filter out international offers and such emails. No, Germany, just because I got Portsmouth promoted doesn't mean I'll be your manager.



Add more information when negotiating!

When we offer for transfers, tell us if the club needs a new CB or a new winger so if possible, we can add one into the deal! Tell us what they're looking for, whether it be pace or a physical midfielder.



Kit customisation, and kit updates

When we get our teams promoted, at the very least, change the sleeves to match the league. With this, add kit customization! We want a new kit each season to mix things up a bit sometimes and it's a bit bland if we're playing in 2019 and we're still wearing 2016's kit.



Brand Sponsorships

Add sponsors! Put them on our shirts! Put them in ads in press conferences! Add them to stadiums! These can be generic sponsors or real companies.



Stadium Customisation and Upgrades

We've wanted this for years. When we do a RTG with Portsmouth and get them into the Champions League, I think we'd have a stadium better than Fratton Park.



Free agents overhaul

As stated again by u/redditcyborg, It's always just a list of the same Asian/eastern European players and then some random newly generated youth players as free agents, and the same low rated transfer listed players. When contracts expire they should become free agents, not immediately get sent to another team unless you do a pre-contract agreement with them. This is partly why we have such an emphasis on those now, instead of being able to sign some quality free agents at the start of the next season.



Fix youth academy players

I scouted a future star using the item in the EASFC catalogue! Oh, what's that? 1 star weak foot, 1 star skills? Please EA, fix this! My ST with 94POT had 1/1, when my keeper with 85POT has 2/1. Really?



Buy-Back Clauses

When we sell YA players because they've not got a great OVR, let us add a buy back clause so we don't do what United did with Pogba.



Fix objectives

Making 20mil profit in two years when you started with a budget of 2 mil is impossible.



Schedules!

We also want game schedules to be realistic. In one season only one game should be rescheduled because it's ridiculous that the board expect you to win a treble in your first season when you have to rest your main players because you have to cram 8 games into two weeks.... It's ridiculous!



You should get praised more / go down as a legend when you bring a league 2 team to premier league champions there should be more in the news about how you turned this team around. Job offers could be offered depending on our reputation.



Remove the 15 year limit!



League reputation!

Stated by u/freefallmark, leagues should have a reputation or coefficient system based on European success that affects prize money and club budgets, as well as the calibre of players willing to join. As it is, we don't find it particularly fun to do careers outside the top leagues because once we reach the top of the league there's nothing else to do, we either play "realistically" and sell our top talent to keep us in line with other teams in the league, or walk it every season as we build a CL winning squad. We'd like it so that if we start taking say Feyenoord deep into the CL every season the rest of the league gets more reputable and stronger as a result.



Loan system needs an overhaul

No player on FIFA ever goes on loan unless they've got the sporadic squad role. Players in real life go on loan such as Miranda, Falcao, Cuadrado. We want these for times when maybe our main striker gets injured in preseason and he'll miss the first half of the season. Instead of signing a new striker, we'll just loan one. In loans, we should also be allowed to negotiate on the percentage of wages we pay.



Any more ways to spend spare money

Actual club facilities that we can improve. Training facilities that will affect things like how much a weekly training session will improve a player and how many weekly training slots we can have. The ability to increase my stadium capacity. How about EA include a few new generic stadium models of various capacities that aren't normally available and let us choose to build them. This again links with the previous idea of stadium customization.





If anyone from EA reads this, please let it be known that we want some new features in CM. I could go back to FIFA 15/16, update squads and be playing the exact same career mode without the newest kits. Let's be realistic. EA most likely won't change much unless microtransactions are added. Make FUT a seperate game completely and watch your sales then, EA. All we're asking is for change. Thank you so much for adding the Premier League presentation pack, that makes the game so much more immersive but it's just a tiny step considering we had it for the last two games. You just need to go back to the first week of FIFA 17's release on the r/fifacareers subreddit to see how dissapointed so many of us were. Please EA, any response is better than nothing
