[Suggestion] Quick Chat / Commands for Player Career Mode (Goalkeeper Position)

Hello everyone,

I would like to suggest a new mechanic for the Player Career Mode, specifically when playing as a Goalkeeper. Right now, playing in this position can feel very frustrating because we have no control over our own AI defenders, which often ruins our match rating unfairly.

It would be amazing if EA added a "Quick Chat" or D-pad command system to give basic tactical orders to our AI teammates in real-time. Here are a few examples of how this would fix major gameplay issues:

During Corners / Set Pieces: A command like "Get him off me!" when an opponent is shielding or pushing the goalkeeper, ordering a defender to mark them and clear space so we can come out for the ball.

Loose Balls / Rushing Out: A command like "Mine!" or "Leave it!". Currently, when rushing out for a loose ball, AI defenders often run toward it blindly, colliding with the goalkeeper or stealing the ball only to lose it. This usually results in an open-goal concession and penalizes the goalkeeper's rating unfairly.

Ultra-Offensive Option: A fun but tactical command like "Cover the goal, I’m going up!". For those of us who like to play as a sweeper-keeper (or play aggressively to recover a bad match rating by going all the way up pitch to score), there should be a quick command to tell a defender to cover the goal line while the goalkeeper joins the attack.

A real-life goalkeeper never stops talking and organizing the defense. Adding these quick commands would make the Goalkeeper Career Mode much more realistic, interactive, and fun.

What do you all think?
