FIFA: Time to Improve the MLS Experience

[Canada_Carlos_Ball]

One thing you're forgetting is the fact that FIFA is tailored to a market that's mostly outside of North America. They don't need to focus on the MLS as much as the 'Big Four' because true soccer/footy fans still don't give the MLS more than a miniscule shred of credibility.

Bad idea. You'd never be able to build an elite team in MLS. It's better to just pretend MLS doesn't behave in its own bubble.

It would be nice if they would add an international club tournament between MLS and Mexican Primera.

I play with the unlicensed Polish League.as it is part of my family heritage. Hope it gets licensed this year.

I think you are right and it should happen but lets recap FIFA career mode. It's so glitched that most times I can't make it through 2 years before it starts freezing. It's not UT (ultimate team) so it's not going to get "extra attention" due to the fact it doesn't make them millions. Finally, in this gen there is simply not enough memory for them to put the effort into making this mode as deep as it should be.

What I have been asking for, for years is a DLC option that includes a true PC Manger Mode experience that is playable via the FIFA game play engine. 15 or 20 bucks would be reasonable for the true hardcore Career Mode fans like me and probably you. With all that said, they can't even add DLC stadiums or teams, much less a crowd that doesn't like ps1 graphics due to memory space according to FIFA devs.

A true MLS experience is a true pipe dream. I'd love it, but not enough euros care so it wont be included anytime soon, probably not even on next gen. They can't even add real faces, stadiums or update their boots (like they do with the big leagues). Great article, but us real fans that actually love the game don't have enough input on development of the game, it's sad really.

I find this amusing. I guess I'm not a "true soccer/footy fan"

WTF "true soccer/footy fans?" With all due respect sir you are an idiot. It has nothing to do with being a "true" fan. It would've been a lot more accurate to say "MOST soccer/footy fans" or something like that because that's really what it is. The majority of people don't see the MLS as a competitive league, but it has nothing to do with the fans of the MLS to be "real" or "true" fans at all. In fact, I think the Americans that root for an MLS team are more "true" than the Americans that root for Barcelona and Manchester and bayern from their home in LA and they've never even BEEN to Spain. THOSE are the people that aren't true fans if anything is.

Yea I guess me neither because I scream, cry, and sing for a team that isn't in England.

Yeah, that was a really ignorant comment toward the end. I once tried to pull for a team from England because they're on all the time on the weekends, and I found that I had more fun following FC Dallas simply because the soccer is comparable. That's like saying somebody that pulls for an AAA team in Baseball isn't a true fan of the game.
