Better Youth Academy
Hey EA Team, I have a good idea for any future FC Games
Many players complained for lack of realism so instead of a 5v5 we can make it 7v7 same settings on an official match, the 5v5 can be made as a friendly match that can be arranged by the board and approved by the player. 7v7 can be used in competitions and instead of the usual QF-SF-F competition there can be regional championship, maybe can be called U18 Womens/Mens Championship, with league and qualification between the top 5 teams of the regions and can even feature generated teams like private academies.
You can have different branches such as U18, U15, and U13. After a youth player reaches a certain age you can pick to promote to the different branches or be released.
Staff there are two types of staff, Youth Manager and Youth Coach. A Youth Manager manages the youth team games while you can watch/play, or he can simulate it for you (can't be quick sim unless you skip the day of the match) and youth coaches similar to the current coaching system where based on different skill set such as Tiki-Taka, Gegenpressing, e.t.c.
The next feature can be Youth National Cup where players can be called up to represent their nation making them temporarily unavailable if you do have any matches. If you are a National Manager you can choose to partially or fully manage the youth national team.
Players can also leave the youth academy for several reasons, they might be moving to a different city, they might leave for their grades, they might lose interest in the sport, e.t.c
The next feature I have is instead of halves there are 3 shifts, every 30 minutes in game time the youth team takes shifts, and they can't take more than 2 shifts meaning you need to manage 3 teams per match.
The final feature is that with 50,000 Euros you can arrange the Senior Team vs Youth Team in a 11v11, you can't take sides and the Senior Team might go easy or hard changing the scoreline significantly, this is a big morale booster and at the end cut scene youth players can get autographs signed on their shirt, ball, or goalkeeper gloves (if they are a goalkeeper).
That's all I got
