The Game We Want: FIFA 17-19 Remastered

I've gone back and played many of the older FIFAs all the way back of FIFA 08 and find myself enjoying those more than any of the FC series games. They all had a common theme, it was fun and features were actually improvements throughout the years with the sweet spot being FIFA 17-19. FC 26 was a huge step from FC 24 regarding the FC series and a minor step up from FC 25. At this point, just remaster FIFA 17- FIFA 19 and the new faces to it and give us an open world with a storyline WITHOUT crazy micro transactions for player career mode, which needs major attention. Archetypes are cool but it's just putting a name to the stats my pro would already have. Manager career mode as well is just bland. Bring back player managers, bring back club sponsors, add life to offline modes. 

The new mechanics are just weird. The players still run strangely as if they are half squatting (though much better than FC 24). Turning on the ball is still causes odd sliding animations and FC IQ has limited player positioning. These are all ruining the game.  Bring formation editing back, bring traits back over player PlayStyles but keep the archetypes. There was more atmosphere to the crowd mainly because of the audio.

In the golden era, the colors and atmosphere were more cinematic and moody. At times, key situations will happen in FC 26 and the crowd doesn't react accordingly or at least the audio isn't queued correctly. Feels flat at times. This franchise is going in the wrong direction. Bring back the glory days, make football games fun again!
