Sounds good. Hopefully this will help them fix the tackling which is the weakest part of the game, IMO.

As details continue to come out, my concern for the "three year plan" on Career mode grows. Will they fix growth? Let's hope so.

I'm also desperate for a way to play with a couple friends on the same team in an easy way...the 4 year old matchmaking system is still broken for groups.

The FIFA and NHL series have set the standard for physics in EA Sports games.

Unfortunately for fans of FIFA there are still a number of huge warts plaguing the game and making it far from what most football fans would consider a true to life recreation:

*Player Progression is a joke.
*The unfair referee and lack of fouls is appalling.
*Injuries need a total overhaul.
*Manager Mode has barely been touched in three years and there are way too many issues to even get into.

The new "impact" system could fix the injury/foul problems, but this game has been and always will be catered towards the online players, tournament types, and Ultimate Team mode. The best mode for offline players is either a Play Now game or maybe tournament mode.

So, yes, I agree with your assessment of the physics when it comes to player movement, but the overall depth of the FIFA series has a long way to go.

That can be said about every EA sports game, it is a common theme. You can find all the same problems in madden, ncaa, nhl, fifa and fight night champions.

The player progression is worse than any other EA game because their is a lack of player progression. Players don't start growing until they are about 22 or 23, and usually even then it is at a snail's pace. Some players (Messi, Fabregas, C.Ronaldo, Rooney) reach a very high level by the time they are that age. A player like Neymar will stay at his current rating (80 or 81) for a ridiculous amount of time.

If the progression is fixed, then this game could be spectacular. The manager mode, now called career mode, needs to be improved quite a bit but if the the gameplay is superb then that will be great.

Fifa is hands down the best game for multiplayer with you buddies

This is great news because hopefully it will fix the tackling situation and add a lot of realism into the game.

This is terrible news because they're going to devote all their time to this and won't touch player progression or career mode.

Is it really that difficult to put a team on career mode to at least do SOMETHING to it? Taking out scouting players was a terrible decision because now the only way to improve your squad is by transfers, because LORD KNOWS player progression is a joke.

Get with it, EA.
