That is a nice feature to add. I am still waiting for the biggest addition that would put the game over the top for me and that is to be able to control multiple teams.
You back do it in every other sports game, I have no idea why in FIFA they have never allowed it. Even if you only control transfers, that would be fine too.
"You'll now be able to use "live start points" when beginning a save, which effectively means you can join a club at a specific point during the season, rather than always at the beginning. EA described this in a way that made it sound similar to some of the live service elements of Ultimate Team: as major events unfold in the real world of football, the plan is to then feature those as live starting moments in Career Mode."
Something I've wanted for quite some time. Looking forward to FC25 now.
I agree with Kane not being great this tournament. I do not think he was fully healed from the ankle injury the kept him out the end of the season. His movement looked nothing like it usually does.
Spain were the best team all tournament, they are deserved champions and that is enough to make me happy with the EUROs.
Same with Copa. Argentina and Colombia were great all tournament and both deserved to reach the final. Argentina struggled to score at times but the defense was great.

Spain have proven they are one of the world's best again. With their young talent, they look like a favorite for the next world cup too.
I suppose the Kane-curse still lives. He's been awful this tournament IMO. Scored a penalty, a tap-in and a free header from close range, but I don't think he was an asset for England apart from that. England improved, as the tournament got to the latter stages, but Kane didn't, and frankly he was a passenger being carried to the final by his team.
Spain won deservedly yesterday, I even think they should also have had a penalty in the first half, when Declan Rice pulled a Spaniard down at a corner. I know there are much pulling and stuff in the box during set-pieces, but that one was too one-sided not to be seen as a foul IMO. Anyway, doesn't matter now. Spain were the best team from start to finish in this tournament. I can't remember an international tournament with such a difference from the best team to the rest, overall speaking.
Congratulations to Spain. Well done saving us all from English noice pollution.

Gakpo was invisible. Depay got injured and Malen (which I thought was our most dangerous man) got subbed. On the other side an actually decent Phil Foden, threatening Saka. England were better in the first half, Netherlands had them bogged down alright for large parts of the second half but there were no real clear-cut chances. And then Watkins shoots in that unlikely ball. England deserved it slightly more than we did, is my gut feeling. We were retreating too much onto our own half and while England wasn't sparkling, they clearly did put in more effort than what I saw in the last couple of England-games. So, good on them: Spain will win anyway.
You're spot on. Both in regards to the penalty decision and in regards to England being the better team in the first half, then Oranje in the second, with England having an overall advantage over the full 90 minutes.
Foden has stepped up after being moved into a central position, and it works well for England with the two Stockport-born midfielders, Foden and Mainoo, switching places in the build-up. I think England has been good in their last two games, after being rather grey in the group stage and the Round of 16 match. I actually have them as small favourites now, peaking at the right time as a good tournament team should. Spain have been brilliant through the whole tournament (the only team to manage that), but England's peak at the right time might work against them. I hope I'm wrong though.

Sorry @Danimal5981 , Netherlands had a good tournament but things went Englands way tonight.
I agree with the penalty call just because his boot was so high with studs up. But I could easily see it not being a penalty and would have no complaints.
Netherlands looked cautious tonight. All tournament they have scored and created chances but tonight they gave up possession to England and after the injury sub, never looked threatening on the break.
I expect Spain to win the final but with England, who knows how they might show up?

England, I'm still only cheering for them because of Kane. With the media being so negative towards the players, especially former players, I would love to see them win it and shut everyone up. Despite the slow approach.
Netherlands are fun to watch. They play free and attack nonstop. Much like Spain.
I know you guys are most likely not watching the Copa but I will never complain of European refs again after this. The refs are awful and get even the basic rules wrong. One ref played the advantage WHILE stopping a defender and giving him a card.
Argentina should easily win but they look off. I expect them to beat Canada and then face Colombia in the final.
@LABoog4 spot on about the refereeing, though I can imagine Türkiye has much to complain about the ref in the game against Netherlands and so might Germany against Spain.
France will try and kill the game, they'll trust on their clean sheets, maybe steal a goal or rely on penalties. Spain has also a couple of suspensions (Carvajal, Le Normand) and injuries (Pedri) to cope with. I think it'll end 0:0 or 1:1, then penalties.
But then: Netherlands v England..., I expect entertainment. Both teams get stronger towards the end of a game, so I expect a slow, patient 1st half and fireworks in the second. England are not a strong passing team, so I expect Netherlands to hold possession more. England rely on solid defense, Netherlands on relatively easy scoring. But both have players with individual class to create danger from nothing: Gakpo's distance shots, Bellingham's bicycle kick, Saka's sudden distance kick, the way Weghorst can make war in the penalty box..., I'm really, really looking forward to this one - the fixture I wanted most during this tournament.
I watched the Copa quite a lot. The organizing countries of World Cup 2026 have much work to do: US, Mexico and Canada can't hold a candle to the other Latin American countries. Especially Colombia are on fire. But Colombia traditionally are a powerhouse, but somehow always fail to show their stuff at a World Cup. It cannot go any other way than a Argentina - Colombia final.
