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.

They did say that they had toned down transfers and made them more realistic. That doesn't mean players won't move in the first summer, but hopefully a lot less movement.

In terms of the team management screen, I doubt you'll see anything significant here. Maybe the "rotate everyone" feature will work this year (it lags in FIFA 12), but I was hopeful for saved squads like saved formations and I don't think they made it (haven't seen anything noted in any vids/interviews yet).

Also, has anyone heard of anything about preseason friendlies and letting us have an expanded bench? Another minor qualm I've had with CM is not being able to use infinite, or at least more than the usual 3, subs.

I haven't read anything but I'm hoping we'll be able to swap up the entire starting 11 this year. Without this kind of makes friendlies worthless.

So another year of all teams basically playing the same? Has anyone else seen anything describing teams having a different play style? 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..........

Damn! I was sure this would be an area of improvement this year. I'm no longer sure about a FIFA '13 purchase.

As silly as it is, if the system remains the same, you can build a roster file with the sliders/team tactics from this forum and get to a really fun FIFA experience.

You shouldn't have to do the work, but it's possible to get a more varied experience.
