Overall Review 2 months in - Career Mode Player since FIFA 10

First things first, Ive been a career mode player since FIFA 10, its all I play aside from clubs.  This year has proven the neglect this mode continues to get.  I give my flowers when things are done well, but oh my word this is the worst Career Mode of any FIFA I have ever played.  No one from EA will probably read this anyways but I need to vent and hopefully people share the same frustrations I have as well. 

I know Im just one person but if you think I have fair points I would really appreciate you to give this post XP.

Bad Features

- Why on earth do I not get emails about transfer offers I get?  Why must I manually check every couple of days in the Transfers tab to see if I get an offer or not?

- The menu is super laggy, an eyesore, and super difficult to navigate.

- Post game press conference questions are still not relatable to the game just played.  I won 3-1 against City as Chelsea and I got questions about poor performance from all of my goal scores.  Make it make sense.
- Youth players from new countries seemingly have the same surnames, no diversity in the sense of player names from these countries.  Just really lazy honestly.
- Why is the player chat separate from the Inbox?  Having to back out from the one to get to the other is super frustrating as Im just trying to clear my cluttered task list that crowds the screen.
- Why has the overall improvement indication left the Squad Hub?  Why can I not see my players progression anymore?  Do you suggest I write them down to keep track of how my players are progressing?
- When negotiating a transfer, I would love to know whose bright idea it was to make a white background for white numbers.  Diabolical in all honesty.

- Youth tournaments are a good idea but a sad excuse to try and get us to play the "Rush" feature.  Half-assed in my opinion.  No one wants to play rush in career mode, we play career mode to play 11v11 gameplay.  

- Why cant I ever wear a black jersey without the ref wearing a black jersey as well?  Last year the orange was a problem, now its the black.  Again, super super lazy from you all.
- Why cant I edit my player roles separately when I have the ball, and when I dont have the ball?  I can edit both so that I have different formations, but not different instructions?  Makes zero sense.  Bring back the old instructions system.

    Brilliant post, thank you for taking the time to enumerate various Manager Career mode issues, in addition to the dozens (hundred or more) others. EA developers are aware of these problems, however, only choose to patch the most common and easiest to deliver, and acknowledge even less. Well said, please continue to keep the developers 'feet to the fire', as there should be at least another twelve to fourteen Title Update releases, before next May.

  • I wouldve provided more but I got tired of typing.  Its just super frustrating the game mode I used to love is so neglected yet its such a fantastic part of the game.  Just because they dont monetize it shouldn’t mean they go backwards.  I would be perfectly fine with the same exact career mode from any previous FIFA to be honest.  Im sorry Im not someone who just bowed down to ultimate team but that game mode has its own problems which I refuse to subdue to.  

    I understand they only take note of the most common issues but figured to use this forum as a place to vent and only hope others feel the same way. 

  • Hello. We need a simplified Career Mode option that removes the Youth Academy and player development features. This would allow us to play with the players we prefer without worrying about them retiring or their overall ratings changing.
  • I have practically the same errors but the one that annoys me the most is the one about the offers.
    Apparently I found the error and it is when starting a career mode and turning off the first transfer window, the offers do not appear in the menu (which should be normal) and one has to see them manually in the transfer center if there is something, it is really frustrating. Also, as I don't know if there is any offer, I only get emails from clubs that they have withdrawn their transfer offer
