Title: [Suggestion] New Game Mode Idea for FC 27: Referee Career
Hi EA Team and Community,I would like to pitch a brand new game mode idea for EA SPORTS FC 27 that I believe would bring fresh energy to the franchise: a Referee Career Mode.We have player and manager careers, but stepping into the shoes of a referee would offer a completely unique perspective on the pitch. Here is how I imagine this mode could work:The Journey: Start as a low-tier referee in lower divisions and work your way up to domestic cup finals, top-flight leagues, and international tournaments like the Champions League or World Cup.Performance Rating: Just like a player career, referees should be rated after every match. Points would be awarded for correct card decisions, keeping up with the play, and managing player aggression. Points would be deducted for wrong offside calls or missed penalties.VAR Mechanics: Introduce a specialized VAR review system where the game slows down, allowing the player to look at multiple camera angles before making a final game-changing decision.Fitness and Positioning: Referees need to maintain a high level of stamina to stay close to the ball. Bad positioning should limit your view and make decisions harder.Match Management: A mechanic to talk to team captains, give verbal warnings, and manage the match temperature before handing out cards. This mode would add massive replay value and give football fans a completely new way to experience the game they love. I really hope the dev team considers this for FC 27!
