Actually I'd be very surprised if they are licensed in FIFA. For instance, EA used to have a fully licensed Champions League game yet during that time the Chapions League in FIFA was not licensed.

Right. They said that the World Cup would have a similarly structured tournament in the game, but the cup itself wouldn't be licensed. I think this was on the Twitter Career Mode Q&A.

If this is true and all the teams still play the same way I am not getting it this year.

Why do the members of the development team who work on gameplay for EA Sports games not care about this? All of their games suffer from this, and it is the reason their games get boring so quickly. These features in CM are nice and will do a good job of immersing you into the game, but then you actually get to playing the games and..........

Exactly my thoughts and why I will be sticking with FIFA 12 for many months to come. I don't play modes so all that new mode content is of no interest to me. I was hoping for one thing only: a major overhaul of the CPU v User gameplay AI. And apparently that's not happening.

After not buying last years, I will definitely be getting this game after hearing that they added international play!

One thing I'm praying for is limited glitches in CM. Remember the year where you would sell a player and the AI would just throw him on the bench and never play them? Even if they were Messi? Game breaking...

Not a game breaking issue for me by any means, but I sure hope they have tidied up the "team management" screen in CM. I always dread pressing the A button 250 times before every game just to set my starting XI and subs. I know they added in the feature where you can press Y to rotate players at a position, but there has to be something smoother.

Also, transfers in the initial summer window in CM are bothersome for me. A few minor transfers wouldn't bother me, but it just blew mind when Rooney would be sold to Bayern right off the bat.
