EA FC Goalkeeper Career Mode

Hi, 

I was really looking forward to playing this years new iteration of football games and I started where I usually start, with a GK career. 

However, you can imagine my surprise and annoyance when, after spending nearly £70, the GK career mode is no different to the previous game or even the one before that. 

The match rating mechanic is still exactly the same from about 10 years of FIFA games, where the rating will go down because your player, a GK, is stood still! Isn’t that quite a lot of a GK’s time on the pitch, waiting for something to happen? Of course they’re going to stand still at times?! 
Also, if then because you’re stood still your rating drops beyond a particular level you get subbed off, when all you’ve done is being a GK and not moved much until you need to? 

Also, the play as GK camera angle makes it really difficult to position your GK player correctly; I know that there is an auto position option, but I prefer not to use it and go off where I would stand in an actual game. For this the camera should be positioned above, but behind the goal and move/swing from side to side, not tilting down when the opposition strikers get closer making it more difficult to save their shots.

There was one particular iteration of FIFA where the camera was in the best position, I think it was FIFA 15, why did you change it? 


it’s almost as if EA haven’t considered that there might be people out there that want to play as GK and have essentially programmed the GK position as an outfield player that’s just stood between the posts.

    If you go up the CPU slider, your teammates won't be able to keep up and you'll have more chances to stop them, so why not give it a try?
