WISH FC26 - Please bring back National Teams
Dear EA employees and fellow EA FC enthusiasts, I have a big big wish for over 10 years that I feel like is not really being focused on in career mode and even neglected over the last years. For me...
Forum Discussion
I couldn’t agree more, it’s my favorite part of career mode. I recently did a youth academy rebuild of the USA National team. While it was pretty fun, it has soooo much more potential than what it is currently. I think this game would be so much better with a separate International Manger Mode with World Cup qualifiers and other international tournaments.
First off, having more countries is a NEED. Even if it’s generic kits- I DONT CARE. Having more competitions like a South American championship and a North American championship to go along with Asian and African championships would be so much fun.
Another thing with that is having actual host nations. I noticed when I played with the USA in the “International Cup”, I played in the LA Galaxy stadium almost every game, along with the friendlies. I just felt like the game lacked so much creativity in that aspect and can be EASILY improved by having host nations. For example each game could be played in different Premier League stadiums (which are already in the game) if the cup is hosted in England.
Another thing that comes to mind is player name repetition. Half my players had the same last name- that’s such an easy fix. Even use AI to generate names honestly. It’s the simple things that lack creativity that can make this game so much better. Hope some of these things can come to light with the World Cup coming up during FC 26.
So are 100% right my friend. The US is also one of the few true national team RTG combined with a league (MLS in this case) that is still left. Almost no other exist apart from a few smaller European countries. This is exactly what I also like.
And most definitely you are also right about the stadiums. I also noticed it, it also adds to the unsatisfied feeling of national team management, it becomes so standard so quick. You would think it is relatively easy to program a game to host in specific stadiums, the stadiums all have country codes I think. So the tournaments just need a randomizer in stadium choice connected to the countries. We can literally have a World Cup in USA / Argentina / Saudi Arabia / alot of the European countries, so there are alot of chances already here. But definitely this is also a very big wish of mine too, something small, but it makes it alot better!
If you know people, try to spread the message. I will post this link more often on Sofifa now, hopefully people from EA pick it up 🤞
You are right with the stadiums- lots of simple fixes that can go a long way.
Yes please spread this link as much as possible. I feel like lots of players would love an International Manager Mode.
