Tournaments with online friends

Why can’t EA include an option to create and have tournaments with friends online. So for the longest time, my friends and I have had “FIFA” nights, we would be 6-8 guys, we created a tournament each guy would have a team or two. This was obviously in the same house on one or two same machines with four controllers. But life happens, some have relocated, but we still love the game and would like to be able to create a tournament and play all together, regardless of location.

EA please add this feature, even if we have to pay for the service, like a lobby where players wait and can watch two players play or can play separately then the next player joins when it’s his match or turn to play.  I mean if this can be done with games like call of duty, and all the online shooters, why can’t we have this on our favorite game? We want to create online custom tournament with friends and play.
