Friendly Suggestions
Good afternoon! I hope everyone is staying warm this winter. I've fallen in love with Pro Clubs and feel obligated to voice some suggestions that, while rooted in good intentions, still hold impor...
WRT the Cdm role I believe it is deliberately kept slower because it has access to both great defensive and great passing stats, so it's speed it kept low. This is why most people use full back there as it gets the same defence but higher speed. The passing isn't as important as most of your passes are going to be simple short ones anyway.
WRT your request for replays I personally am not bothered about that and generally I could see that being problematic for servers. What I would like personally is more time to view highlight replays at ends of matches, more comprehensive highlights, and more space to save game clips on xbox generally.
I'd personally get rid of the "Next Match'feature as it always leads. To problems. People not getting in for one. Then just the ides that highlights are cut short so we can zip ahead to the next game - nope. Not how I want the experience to be
Some reasonable ideas, however mostly in the "pipe dream" category.
They would take far too much effort on EAs part to implement - they can't even be bothered to copy and paste haircuts and boots from one mode to another, so asking for some of these things feels a little pointless.
Regarding the wingback/CDM - if they just did the obvious thing and made pace equal across all positions this wouldn't be needed.
A position doesn't dictate how fast someone is in any kind of way - this is entirely in EAs head and a strategy they've used for far too long that has no basis in reality.
Strikers can be fast, so can CBs, CDMs, CM - hell, even GKs.
Their implementation makes absolutely no sense.
------
Removing the countdown timer after games would be great, or even have it as a club option so that public clubs that just want to play could keep it enabled.
Then clubs who take more of a casual approach could turn it off and save as many replays etc as they like.

Spectate can be done using a few different options already, particularly on new gen. You could share your screen if it's just for 1 person, or stream to a video site.
This was suggested around 2010-2012, and many times since when system tech didn't have any options, but implementing it now seems like it would be a massive waste of resources, as does "manager role" frankly.
Anyhow, as with all these 'suggestions' threads, while there may be some nuggets that are worth exploration, ultimately they go nowhere, are likely never seen by anyone at EA that has influence, and almost certainly never will be implemented no matter how good the idea is.
As far as this game modes development goes, EA are quite narcissistic in the sense that they think they know best, we are all wrong, and they will continue to take this mode in whatever direction they please even if it goes against what the majority of the community want or desire.
It's their game they'll do whatever untill they get bored and remove it from the game entirely, or we get so fed up that we stop buying it.
My guess is the latter.
