Hopefully the argentinian league and I would love to see the Carling premiership as well as a few others. Maybe try and get a few more international licenses, namely Brazil but maybe Poland a few others as well.

This is due to their training facilities and leads me to my next point... I think that FIFA should borrow sme ideas from FM for their manager mode, namely a deeper intereaction with the board and the ability to improve your youth facilities etc. This way you could really focus on growing your team rather than buying players.

I remember in an older FIFA game having to level up your stadium to maximize revenue, and having to level up your coaches, your negotiator, and your scout to improve the chances of developing that next great player. It was always fun to bring a team like Sheffield Utd or another lower tier team up to the level of Man U or Barca with these investment-style improvements

Yeah this is what I love, I'm a huge football manager fan as well and its great to that, way more fun that just playing as a top team. You can build up a team in FIFA 12 but not in the same way, for the me the only way you can do it is by buying and then selling players off for a profit and then slowyl rebuilding your team. However, its not very realistic and its very basic. At the minute in my FIFA career I have brought Swindon Town to the Premier League and I'm in 2017/18 season, it was quite fun but gets pretty boring and like I said the realism just isn't there, it should be very difficult and take much longer than that.

Although I guess the other way of looking at it is, FIFA is for the gameplay and if you want a deep career then just stick to football manager.

Hopefully more fouls are called this year.

But FIFA could have BOTH. And it has in the past. Adding something simple like realism in scouting could seriously benefit the series.
It's so awesome being able to play more than just 3 or 4 years without having the game "break" in my opinion.

And I totally agree with the fouls thing, but I hear the tweaks with the player impact engine should help improve referee awareness.

The CPU better not be able to just crash into you and take the ball at will with no fouls being called. I have NEVER EVER EVER seen a CPU get a red card in a match.

Hopefully foul frequency gets a overhaul. Really the only thing that is holding this game back from being the best game out there I think.
