Is player career really this rubbish?
I used to love the old “player manager” career but know that hasn’t been a thing for ages. I enjoy building a player from scratch and making them a world beater, but there are a few things that make player career almost unplayable.
Team Tactics I realise as a player I shouldn’t be able to choose or influence team tactics, but shouldn’t I at least know what they are?! There doesn’t seem to be any way to find out how my manager wants me to play! Is it wing play, should I be aiming for tiki taka or has the team been set up for counter attack?! There’s no way of knowing this in game and it makes it really hard to play well, even when controlling the whole team. Am I missing something?
Team transfers More of an annoyance than something which makes the game unplayable, but with all the stupid announcements and messages we get from managers, agents etc, why do we not get messages when your team signs a new player? Why are they not introduced with big fan fare? First I learnt of a new team signing was seeing them on the team sheet for the next game. Just seems bizarre thing to miss out when designing game play for player career.
