Outdated Player Creation & Broken Career Stat Growth + Clubs OVR Visibility
1. PlayStyles in Create-A-Player
We are multiple years into PlayStyles being the core mechanic of player identity and performance, yet the Create-A-Player menu still completely ignores them. A 99-rated custom striker plays worse than an 82-rated gold card with Finesse Shot+ or Aerial+ because custom players have zero PlayStyles.
On that note, the attribute editing menu is severely outdated and missing crucial stats. I don't even know for how long we've had those sliders, while at the same time we have perfectly fine clubs attribute allocation window. Just copy it to the Create-A-Player menu, but instead of AP let the player choose the stats freely.
And not only the sliders window is old as bones it also misses some stats like 'composure, defensive awareness and skill moves. I can choose to have any stats I want on my player, except for those. I would have 99 stats in every attribute except for those. that just doesn't make any sense.
2. Manager Career Mode Players Stat Progression
Player development plans in Manager Career Mode have one small blind spot. Free Kick Accuracy attribute cannot be targeted or meaningfully improved on targeted positional plans. Unless you leave a player on a balanced development plan that barely improves. Additionally I think it would make sense if players on certain positions with certain stats unlocked playstyles or playstyles+ in manager career mode, just like we can unlock playstyles in clubs, but maybe make more walls for players to overcome to unlock a playstyle.
4. Clubs OVR & UT-Style Card Summary
And lastly checking your pro's overall rating per build shouldn't require workarounds. Right now, to see your OVR for a build, you have to load into an league match lobby and check the position selection. Instead, show the calculated OVR live inside the Archetype/Build editor as we adjust points and give our pro a standard 6-pillar card summary (PAC, SHO, PAS, DRI, DEF, PHY) directly on the archetype screen so we can see our weighted averages at a glance, just like in Ultimate Team.
There are a lot more flaws in this game that traveled from the previous EAFC, and some that appeared only in this one that i still have not mentioned. Honestly, just hire me, i will tell you what exactly you did wrong and where, you have my email. I will not ask for a huge salary, I just want this game to be good.
