I wish for… A much better match engine! Some people won’t like this but I think they should make it more like the current fifa manager engine, which is far superior. Obviously football manager is the better game but it needs a better match engine.

3 main points:
1. carreer mode; begin in a sub-21 team and then you climb your way up. i reckon there is already a way of doing that yourself simply by applying for the reserve or sub-21 team, but there is no structured and custom made triggers that will enrich that experience
2. players can have press conferences as well, not only managers. that way will trigger repercussions within the squad, in the relationship with other clubs/players, etc.
3.investing in infrastructures is still so poor. there are tons of ways in which the game could be more realistic on that matter. what does it mean having a ‘stablished youth structure’ and a ‘state of the art’ one? we should be able to choose what kind of infra we wanted, such as dorms (for more youngsters’ slots), training fields (for faster tactics development), gyms (physic development), schools (less unsettling probs), etc. fifa manager has taken that matter to another level.

I would like to see in the new fm 2014 a slighlty improve on the 3D match engine in some aspects, the conversation on the contracts and the conversetion with the staff and board staff.

I wouldnt mind new team talk options, the same ones again and again should be changed into new talks which evoke new emotions.
Luke
17 июля, 2013 at 17:24
I wish for……a more realistic transfer system. All the previous games seemed to be if you want a top player you have too offer triple the asking price, especially in England and that just isn’t true. More in depth transfer negotiating for me thanks, perhaps meetings with chief-executives and agents, family members for younger players etc….

I wish for a more realistic league settings for the asian countries, espiecially in the south east asian countries. SI have indicated players in wrong positions, like players playing striker in real life is labeled as a defender. I also wish for more south east asian leagues like the Thai Premier league to be introduced into the FM14 arena. Thanks.

New feature: some sort of «Match Simulator» for testing formations without having to play actual games. You could pick a team to play against (as well as a formation/tactics to play against) and set your players up how you like them and find out how effective your formation really is!
Rohan
17 июля, 2013 at 17:54
Certain Transfers Go through which According to the Game Reputation System wouldnt Go through like Deulofeu to Everton on Loan, Wilfried Bony to Swansea, Victor Wanyama to Southampton, Ricky van Wolfswinkel to Norwich.
So I would like a Feature where We can have a Conversation with a Player who has no Interest in signing for your club even though his Club has Accepted the Buying Club’s Bid.

Some sort of implementation of sports science. For example, Steven Gerrard is «injury prone» in FM13. Up until the end of the season he was playing 90 mins in every match in the league thanks to special training etc. and it would be realistic to be able to do this rather than a player being injury prone for ever and ever and not being able to do anything about it
Jamie Sheehan
17 июля, 2013 at 18:51
To be able to manage in the J League in Japan. It’s one of the biggest leagues not featured yet.
Gaz Chapman
17 июля, 2013 at 19:12
For me it would have to be integrated updates with real life new prospects as they happen in real life so a live update each month with added players from real life as they are discovered rather than regens, Also some sort of live form/ability update so for example if rooney is on fire in real life then he is also on fire within the game etc (for me these features are what will really take the game into the next generation of football manager simulation)
Darren Smith
17 июля, 2013 at 19:18
That wouldn’t work though. You couldn’t introduce a real life player aged 14 in game in the year 2016 for arguments sake, because it still wouldn’t be factual and would be worse than having regens and the less bright gamers would complain the game is wrong with the players age etc. Also live form updates wouldn’t work, otherwise what would be the point in playing the game, all your hard work would be worthless as the players form would rise and dip regardless of what you did, the whole point of the game is you change the players form, not real life. Seems like you want something more like FIFA, but thats not next gen, its just a different type of game.
Gaz Chapman
17 июля, 2013 at 21:19
I see your point (as every body plays the game at different speeds and the form thing would have the same problem. But this was a «wish» :) Also i9 know the difference between fifa and football manager thanks darren lol ive been playing champ manager/ fm manager since 1996 buddy lol
Darren Smith
18 июля, 2013 at 11:48
I never said you didn’t know the difference between FIFA and FM. I said it seems like you want FM to be more like FIFA, but I personally think that would be a terrible move as it would destroy the game. Felt like you were implying FM can’t step into the next generation before it becomes more like FIFA in some aspects, but what I was trying to explain is that would not be the next generation for a game like FM.
Gaz Chapman
18 июля, 2013 at 12:03
Oh so you «assumed» thats what I was implying!? I tend not to assume in fact I probably wouldnt be so arrogant as to comment on somebodys comment after I had asked them to make a «wish» but thats just me… you must be some kind of football manager genious with you being able to build a website on wordpress so who am I to comment :)
Johnny Karp
18 июля, 2013 at 12:56
Please end this argument, will you? And I’m asking both of you.
@Darren — I did ask the readers to make wishes and you can’t argue with what one wishes, may or may not that wish be remotely realistic.
@Gaz — I don’t appreciate you calling Darren arrogant nor the derogatory tone towards the website. It is undeserved, more so since you are taking part in a giveaway that could well hand you a free copy of FM 14. Good luck!
Thanks.
Darren Smith
18 июля, 2013 at 19:28
Well I’m sorry if I instigated anything, certainly not my intention and I can see how Gaz may have taken the comments badly, I don’t think he handled it well but I guess I can understand. I was simply offering my opinion but this is a wish list so peoples opinions should be left alone as opposed to debated, I didn’t really think that part through I admit so for that I am sorry.
Either way, its done as far as I’m concerned, I’m not the one with a problem to be honest. I just apologize if questioning the wish was seen as rude.
Kevin
17 июля, 2013 at 19:35
A more intelligent Director of Football who is aware of the league rules regarding squad limits.
nikozolo
22 июля, 2013 at 04:34
Kevin is spot on with this one. Id also like to be able to give my DoF filters in searching players much like you can when manually searching them (ie. Position, language, min/max age, nationality, etc). Too many times I either get great players for positions I already have covered or bad players for positions I desperately need. Might be fun if you could get into a few arguments with owners/DoF over signings. I know Im just asking for trouble in my fm14 Newcastle save but I would enjoy the new dynamic. (Think possible Alan Pardew-Kinnear rows that might occur irl)
nikozolo
22 июля, 2013 at 04:40
Oh oh! And since we are «wishing» here. Id enjoy the J-League as well. A second league to play in Africa is a must. Egypt and Ghana do well in Africas Continental Club competition so that would be nice
Jordon Wagstaff
17 июля, 2013 at 19:41
A far more intelligent DoF and a more reliable match-system that doesn’t seem to give a load of BS constantly.

Some sort of way to spend our money. Right now manager salary is just a number, you don’t accept the salary raising, because you can’t do anything with it. It could be more realistic, if I had the chance to buy something( House, car). Or with your money you could help a footballer with a poor background.
And once again thanks for the last year’s competition. It’s so much fun to play with my gift FM13 and I’m thinking about this site everyday since I got mine copy!!

Johan Jakobsen
18 июля, 2013 at 00:50
I have been playing with danish side Odense Boldklub for quite some time now and i have been trying to implement the «Youth to Gold» system by Darren. When i say trying, it is because my players won’t rise in value at all. I have been playing for 20 seasons, won everything in the last eight and a have the best players in the world. Still, my best players are not valued at more than 5-6 mill. and not a single of my players have been nominated to the big individual prices, despite multiple golden boots, team of the year nominations in Chl and the highest match ratings in Europe.
A more dynamic system for the player values is needed. it shouldn’t rely entirely on the league ranking.
I should mention that OB is ranking nr. 1 in the world while the danish league has climbed to nr. 7.
if this isn’t chanced i will have to control every danish side playing European football to ensure the danish league ranking improves. Which of course is way to much work, if i have to enjoy the game as well.
Conor Donovan
18 июля, 2013 at 00:52
How about an improvement to board request?
For example rather than just asking for the stadium to be expanded, you can set forward a number of reasons for the chairman to do so. Like «I think we have an excess of cash and it would be a good investment» and something like «We’re in Europe and we only have a tiny stadium» — that sort of thing.
I’d likefor it to seem like the chairman is properly taking these considerations into account
Ronan Donovan
18 июля, 2013 at 00:57
I think maybe introduce a manager-chairman relationship thing so that if your relationship with him is good you’re more likely to get requests granted and less likely to be sacked.
The relationship would be dependent on things like results, how you manage finances, your behaviour in the media and how often you annoy him with requests.
Lewis Wakefield

Niels Theis Bendtsen

I have two wishes.
Better interactions with staff, player, media and board. Especially the board is very static. (asking for parent club, stadium etc is too static).
More leagues such as Cyprus or even better an better editor so we can do it ourselves.
John Gallagher
18 июля, 2013 at 08:42
I like the game…obviously a few tweaks and the things mentioned above mainly seem like good ideas it was to improve the game. My suggestion is slightly different (so much so that I don’t even know if it can be done). I would like to see a separate programme (similar to the way that the editor is) called ‘Download Manager’ (or something like that). I would was this program to be accessible from within the game.
What I want is this to be a database of all the tactics, training schedules, graphics packs, skins etc that have been submitted to official affiliated websites . I would like it to work seemlessly with the game. For example I loaded a new league and most of the club badges aren’t there I would go to settings>download manager where the program would open up and I would search through the relevant categories until I find my desired logo pack, download it and then once back in the game I could just check or uncheck a box to enable my download.
Also it could have popularity and ratings where people would be able to see at a glance what tactics etc are popular and work well
Anton Button
18 июля, 2013 at 10:54
I wish the players had more of an attitude (except during contract negotiations). I find the whole Cisse and wonga thing fascinating… I wish there were issues like this to be dealt with

18 июля, 2013 at 18:27
How about voice commentary in FM14? I know it’s difficult what with the sheer number of players and the database size. But could start with a few leagues. Commentators could make references to the good/bad attributes of players while they attempt an action relevant to the attribute.
Would be awesome!

I would like to see FM1966 Set after England’s World Cup win where the modern day players come into their proper clubs each year. The league reforms happen etc. It’s kind of like playing through football history. It would run alongside 2014 and be a playable option much like Classic is.
Reevo

I would love to play through that , Think we can safely say it will never happen but It would be brilliant!
Callum Bashford
18 июля, 2013 at 18:30
Much better press conferences, possibly updated throughout the year? More «world-events»; Suarez bite scandal for example would be on every manager’s radar irl but in game there is nothing like this…

19 июля, 2013 at 12:23
Better interactions with everyone. With players, team and the board. Current options are not enough. More work on the DoFs (maybe he can send me a report about a guy that wants to sign before he makes an offer) so I can talk to him and set some strategy in signing the players so he’s not after a striker if my academy is full of them.
And one thing I’m, dreaming about — tabs. For example when searching for a player I’d like just to open a new tab (like in a web browser) with his info and reports. Or even in my team when picking the squad I’d like just to open a new tab, check what I need and close it.
David Warner
19 июля, 2013 at 12:23
I have several wishes, but only one entry. Oh well :P … In no particular order:
1) Make home teams less utterly dominant — I don’t know if I’m the only one that’s experienced this, but I frequently play away games against lesser teams (especially in the league) where, despite their quality being significantly lower, they play like Barcelona on a good day. I know teams should be better at home, and that unlikely victories can happen, but you should hardly ever see Man United or Chelsea — with their best teams — losing repeatedly to Norwich, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Watford and Derby County.
2) Better player decision making in the Match Engine — I’m pretty tired of quality players with good composure, decision-making, creativity and passing/finishing running into acres of space and not passing the ball when the opportunity is there, encountering defender(s) and then shooting/passing straight into the opposition, giving the ball away. Also, increase the willingness to pass the ball as opposed to taking low-percentage shots.
3) More contractual options — wage increases if continental competition qualification achieved, release clauses for failure to meet continental qualification stipulations.
4) A bit more variety in press conferences. Please, for the love of all things football, let’s get more options!
5) Make it a bit easier for clubs to loan players. In the real world I’ll bet many lower-league/level clubs would LOVE to take on young players from good clubs FOR FREE. I find that I struggle to get players loaned out, even for free, especially if I request them to have first team status. I’m careful to ensure that the player is equal or better than the teams current first team players, but I often am unable to get anyone to take these players… perhaps a bit more transparency other than «No viable offers for Player X», for example «No clubs were willing to take Player X on loan as they feel he will not get the desired amount of game time». To me, running into a non-descript wall whenever offering players for loan is not very realistic or productive.
6) Young players to be less mental about game time. You’re 16 for crying out loud. Calm down, have a drink of water, and get back to getting your ‘dribbling’ skill higher than 3.
Kirk

19 июля, 2013 at 13:28
I wish that i can do something with the money I earned with my salery. Now im just getting my contract money as low as possible so the club dont spend a lot of money on my salery.
Also more transfer clausules. An example, you are buying a new young player from lower league and the other club put as clausule that they hire the player for the next year

Joss Bennett
19 июля, 2013 at 14:49
Would like the ability to look at player’s/league’s detailed stats from previous seasons… At the moment they’re all wiped as soon as the new season starts so you can’t see who got the most goals/assists/passes etc. in X league last season unless there’s an award for it! Would make it much easier to scout players etc.
Benje

Pip Cook
19 июля, 2013 at 18:27
I would like to see small things tweaked, for example bids for your own players. I think there is a lack of interest and when there is interest it is way below their value. Also I think the odd things that happen in a game (e.g short pass-backs and ‘keeper handling errors.) should become less common, as these are frustrating, especially when the players are up to standard at the level the match is played at.
Miles 'Uni' Smith
19 июля, 2013 at 21:32
Well from what I’ve seen between FM2011 and 2012 there weren’t that many feature changes. Between 2012 and 2013 contrastingly we saw a huge number of them, given that pattern and given the sheer number of changes the most important thing I would like to see in this next game will be general polish and fixes to the changes they’ve already made.
Having added so many staff they need to improve their AI.
Having made so much change to the match engine there are many fixes and improvements that can be made.
Better manager AI generally because they’re all pretty terrible.
But you asked for a new feature and the feature I would like to see is for a regen option, currently if you disable ‘use real players’ all you get is essentially the same team with different names, I get bored after playing a few saves signing all the same players, or using all my built up meta knowledge, if the teams instead had their teams dissolved into points (perhaps the CA/PA system could be utilised for this) and have those points used to generate regens that would be amazing, keeping the relative strength of the teams the same whilst completely changing the players they have. It would add an awful lot more replay value to the game, and keep me from falling into the trap of always managing the same ‘safe’ players.
Also scrap classic mode and just make the full mode more versatile by being able to ‘turn off’ ie leave to the AI, the features you don’t want to use.
Edgar A. Garcia
20 июля, 2013 at 01:17
Make it so I can tell my director of football to knock it off with the persistent attempts to sign the same crappy player over and over after I’ve already cancelled the transfer several times. For that matter, make it so I can have dialogue options with him and with my Head of Youth Development. They’ve bought some real gems for me that I wasn’t even aware existed until they made the approach so I don’t want to turn that AI option off but I do want to be given more options in this field.
Abdirisaq Osman

Pedro Fontan
22 июля, 2013 at 19:59
Wow a free copy of FM! pretty cooll!
As For what i’d like to see in the game, certainly the Match engine to be looked at! Aspects such as players movements in shooting , passing but especially goalkeepers to have better knowledge of the game in that they wouldn’t leave the goal when they have a defender covering it causing them to clash and concede a crappy goal!
Also when players ask to leave and they’re promised to win something, when you actually win it they won’t ask you to leave one week later!
Like some people have said reserves and youth teams to be done more structured so you can coach them and make the step up to senior coaching!

i wish for a more realistic stat attribute change system, in real life you see players who suck in one year in fm, being able to have their technical and mental and generally all their stats dramatically changed if they do a very good year in their championship, so why cant the game be able to do such changes by its algorithms ?
Adam Furnival

I’d really like to see a more immersive career game. Maybe starting off by managing at u18 in a non league team and having a base level coaching badge which can let you manage in x amount of leagues, to progress into higher leagues and having the chance to manage in european competitions you could have targets to hit during your career which gains you your next coaching badge. might be difficult to implement but i think it would give it a bit more realism than just jumping straight in at any club. This could be an additional game option that could be turned on and off i.e. like add key staff etc

My wish is that there will be more youth teams like U17 and U15, filled with regens. So you can see a 13 year-old talent developping into a new Messi. I hope it will also be possible to sign regens from other teams who are only 13 or 14 for example.

I wish for a «create a club» option where you can, obviously, create your own club, and possibly add some players (for example your friends) and give them stats, without having to use the editor to replace a club, start from the lowest league (say in England), and work your way up.

2. Make U-21, U-19 and other junior teams avaliable for managing.

I just finished my UEFA C-License and I learnt that in all the licenses there is a strong emphasis on «patterns of play». Since real football managers encourage, develop, and teach these patterns, and since these plays dictate players’ decisions and actions in a game, I wish that they could be added to the next game.

I would like to create a new club which would replace some of the original clubs in the lowest league possible. Then you could start climbing the ladders with your OWN club handling sponsors and other features which are important to the club.

New Feature I wish to see:
I would like FM14 to have OI and pep talks in challenge mode.
And also to integrate challenge mode into classic mode.
For instance: If I win a team which featured max youngsters from Reserve & U18 squad then one of the achievments can get unlocked.
If I go entire season unbeaten then the corresponding achievement .
If I win a season with majority of my players injured , etc

As i said in the forum is that it would be nice is more than one variant on free kicks. Maybe making amore abstract free kick system. That adapts to the players in the tactic. Like
Priority 1: Best header on near post.
Priority 2: Tallest player challanging GK
Priority 3: The best player at long shots outside of the box.
Etc
But most importantly work on the match engine. :)

I wish to God that the old ‘without ball’ positioning would be put back into the game .
I know it’s not realistic to tell players at every moment where exactly they need to stand but perhaps just a basic version of it and then the players positioning , discipline and decision making would come into play even more when defending .

Training should be more detailed. Coaches should be able to teach routines and Set-piece moves and attacking moves that would be implemented in matches
ianc5571
11 августа, 2013 at 19:27
I wish you could hide all stats entirely. Have them hardcoded. That way you would have to properly watch players and scout them like you would do in real life. No players in real life have a number associated with them for shooting, pace etc. Would make the game more realistic.

I Wish for a PS Vita version that allows for cross save with the steam version of the game so I can play my P.C saves on the go. I know it’s highly unlikely but I think it would be great for the series to have a portable version that allows access to their PC, Mac, Linux saves

I just simply wish that my mid-2009 macbook can run the 3d match (now i’ve to watch 2d for performance sake).
And it would be nice if you can set a long term plan with the board. Now the boards set their ideology (buy high profile players / use youth players). Would be nice to interact in that, if you want reform the identity of your club. Change ManCity to all home grown for example. And also set goals for league positions. Instead just of a year-to-year basis and all they demand are winnings anyway.

What should be the new feature? How about to diminish my performance worries and to increase the response rate when I’m playing the FM? Currently, and I don’t think it’s only because of my pc, the waiting time for response is far too long… =(
Jason Anastas
15 августа, 2013 at 20:32
I’d like it if teams were more aggressive about pursuing you for positions. I would really like to start a new game as an unemployed manager and work my way up, akin to the way it might happen in real life, but it would be great if computer controlled teams were smart enough to aggressively try and poach you away from other teams.

15 августа, 2013 at 20:44
Although I think that FM13 was nearly perfect, one of my favorite new additions (from what I can make out in the screenshots) is that you can actually go in to the board and have an interview with the board for a potential job. That’s awesome, and really the only thing I’d add to FM14. Can’t wait to see all of the new features, though!
jaimindesai
15 августа, 2013 at 21:03
I’d like manager relationships with other club managers to be more realistic, and not based primarily on the relations their clubs share. For example, an in-game manager I have a friendly relationship with suddenly develops a negative attitude towards me if they take charge of a rival club. Also, if I start out in a low profile league, say India, and if Chelsea is listed as my favourite club, it shows on my profile that Jose Mourinho or Di Matteo have a favourable opinion of me while Wenger has a negative opinion. That’s unrealistic because these managers would have never heard of me.

FM13 was one of the best in the series.. Can’t wait for FM14 to come out, I’m sure it’s gonna be wicked. One thing I always wanted in FM is an intergration with offfield antics as in the real world has. This will increase the fun a lot..

It would be nice if the training aspect could be expanded a little more. For example, it would be nice to know how players perform during training sessions. Some players are really hard-working,while others are lazy. Perhaps that could show on their mental abilities, but it would be nice to track «attitude» on a weekly basis. If I had a player who didn’t play well in the last official matches but was trying really hard during training, I would give him at least 10 min. to prove himself or as a reward. Also, practice matches to test your starting lineup before an official match would be a good idea. I know you can organize those via friendly matches with the reserve team, but it would be nice if it was accounted for as part of training.
Ashley Thorpe
17 августа, 2013 at 19:05
i think that over however many years you play through a save, every few years or so, there should be minor rule changes, such as more substitutes allowed on the bench, minor amendments to the offside rule or adding league registration rules (e.g. the FA introducing a foreign player limit in the premier league)
Florentin Claudiu

David Warner :D
17 августа, 2013 at 20:36
I have many, many wishes. But here are my two main ones — both are match-engine related.
1) Shooting Gallery
Way too often (and I mean, at least 10 times in a game) I find that players with good vision, decision making, composure, passing, etc make incredibly stupid decisions about when to shoot and when to pass. For example, there’s a break on. The backline bunches up somewhat to handle the onrushing forward with the ball at his feet. Aforementioned forward slows down and tries to dribble his way around but is met with limited success, but keeps the ball. However, he has no shooting options, but he does have support. Does he pass the ball? No … he shoots straight at the defenders and it’s blocked. Posession lost. OPEN PLAYERS were waiting. This is not a single player or even a single team thing. I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s noticed this. So my wish is for more intelligent play in the final third, especially where there are ‘limited options’ situations.
2) Home Advantage
It’s happened to me way too frequently that I’ll take a preposterously strong team — confident but not overly so, and in good form and spirits — away to a significantly weaker (and I mean bottom-5 or next-league-down) opponent, and the opponent plays like Barcelona whilst I’m playing like … well … insert poor team name here. I recognise that there are a lot of hidden factors that go into the calculations, and there is nothing wrong with home advantage and that having an effect *cough cough Liverpool vs Oldham* … but sheesh! My wish here is to limit the home ground advantage (both ways) just a bit more so that it doesn’t start to become unrealistic. Cardiff City being promoted to BPL and being second in the league in February based largely on their home form is kinda pushing it.

I wish the match engine was better and that there would be less (or none) major mistakes. I also have had the issue that a player touches the ball with the hand in mid field in a completely non relevant play and get a red card, I hope this kind of mistakes are corrected.
Dominic Dysart
19 августа, 2013 at 21:09
I’d love to see testimonials in the game. Whatever player it is receiving the testimonial gets to select a squad of their most favorite players they’ve played with and you get to manage them for a one off game. Only a thought but I think it could work.

Some more realistic chance per goals, so when playing for ball possession wont be useless as you keep conceeding goals when the opposition roll on a contra-attack.
mh8784
20 августа, 2013 at 09:45
I think having player and team highlights at the end of the season will be really cool. That way you could relive the best and proudest moments of your career and feel rewarded. Also having the ability to create highlights can be useful for selecting tactics or training e.g. you can create a highlight of a certain players failed attempts at goal and then train him accordingly so he can act better in those situations.
Eamon Banerjee
20 августа, 2013 at 11:05
I wouldlike to see players giving interviews and a bit more of a focus on attitude like Joey Barton’s Twitter or Cisse and Wonga or AVB and the Chelsea dressing room split.
I would also like to see neutral competiotions in like the Us like the Champions Cup or like the Emirates Cup
Finally I’d like to see if you can convince a player of the ambition of the club when you try and sign them so you get a bid accepted but if it’s a high profile player, he won’t even enter talks! So like at my favorite vlub Southampton, we managed to cconvince the likes of Ramirez, Wanyama and Osvaldo of our ambition despite them being linked with bigger clubs.

I wish that for a laugh players would occasionally receive the injury «bitten» when playing against players like Suarez.

I wish for a better development of players. For example,each player have some PA rating that is fixed during his whole carrier ,but when some nominally average player ( PA between 120 and 130,or less ) scores some 20 goals in league,or have a lot of assists or high average rating during whole season it should be made that his PA should rise a little bit,because he showed some kind of potential that is better than the one he already have. I think it would be good only for players 26 years old or less,because older players are mostly formed and there is no place for much development in future.
Also I would like to see a better youth rating for Serbia,because our U19 national team won European championship this year,and for last decade we created a lot of young and talented players .The fact is that Serbia is 3rd in the world (after Brazil and Argentina ) and first in Europe in exporting players to other ,stronger leagues.I’m not very proud of that,because our league is getting weaker ,but it also means that there is a lot of talent around here.And our youth rating is very,very poor . Between 90 and 100,and a lot of countries where the football is a lot weaker than here have way better youth rating.

I would like that winnig some trophies like supercups in a country would be graded, so you get points for them in the Hall of fame. Also, it would be great if the match engine would be a lot more realistic, maybe adding some new attributes, connect the player transfer value with Transfermark, for the players that are real and make better answers for the press.
