Posted it for 08, but nothing happened!
Here itis for 09
I was thinking and this should be possible, instead of manager mode just being the same as last time but with improvements.
I was playing some old ps2 game last week called total club manager 2005, remember those ea manager games that were on ps2. They were ok, no-were near football manager but its selling point was you could see your team play in 3d, football manager may never have this feature.
I’m not asking for manager mode to be like the pc 'fifa manager'. its far to big and complex but I think manager mode should be like total club manager 2005 with some changes!
Add all the necessary features to it. (Fifa08 Formations, edit a formation, sponsors)
All the stats features that are in fifa 08 (there are a ridiculous amount of stats also player of he season stuff like that
Simply the training mode - implement the player growth feature in fifa08.
And there you go.
The improvements will be:
The biggest improvement will be manager mode in general will feel 100 times more ALIVE, other teams will buy and build teams for themselves, you wont be playing the SAME man united team from the 1st season in season 7.
Teams have more injuries that affect their squads, teams actually rotate their squads depending on the competition etc... So man united wont play rooney, tevez, ferdinand in the 3rd round of the league cup. If you are a small team and you play against a big team it may rest players against you.
You can see the results and stories of 6 other leagues at all levels, the champions league and uefa cup (ecc and efa) run ever season and you see all the results even if you haven't qualified.
Day to day progression, arrange as many friendlies as you want. Training camps.
More news stories, its harder to keep all your squad happy, dynamic board.
Deeper club facilities, instead of just updating your stadium manager, you have a club centre which enables you to sell more merchandise, a press room which gives you more interviews attract more sponsors, club hospital to get more medical staff making it so your players get better faster. Training pitch upgrade so your team improves their skills faster etc…….
Deeper youth team structure. Buy youth players from when they are young (13 and up), depending on how good your youth team coach is and youth scout depends on how well you can bring up players.
Add fifa08 current gen stuff like visual sim match.
Also
Final stadiums, the current gen system means that finals are played at neutral ground, which is great, BUT the champions league and uefa cup finals are held at the SAME neutral ground every year. Make it so you do a selection of stadiums that can host the final for each competition and randomise it every year.
And finally, before every season, pick 6 or more leagues to follow and track progress, IMPORTANT. If you want to leave a team at the send of the season who’s league starts in august and ends in may (winter season) and you want to go to a team who’s season starts in March/April and finishes in October/November (summer season). You should start halfway though the season at the end of June or beginning of July. Also THAT LEAGUE MUST BE SELECTED AS ONE OF THE 6 LEAGUES TO FOCUS ON AT THE START OF YOUR MANAGER MODE.
There you go manager mode should evolve just like that
