Although I thoroughly enjoyed Online Seasons (longest I've ever played any sports game), I'm eager to see what changes they've made to it, if any.

Kind of slimy to put tournament mode back in after the World Cup. Should have been in last years game. EA always trying to squeeze every penny out of its customers

Agreed. For FIFA 14, the removal of tournament mode and guest play was attributed to those modes being infrequently used by the gaming community. For FIFA 15, their inclusion will be attributed to community feedback. Brilliant stuff.

Edit: I'm just happy they're back in the game.

FiFa 16 Connected Careers! Please! I already bought this year's game and the addition of the BPL was awesome! #CmonCity #CTID #USMNT!

But can I use my Pro in the practice area yet/again?

Exactly, why they ever removed that feature is beyond me. I used to spend hrs perfecting how to use my player as a small and a big. Now it's like when I make my dude big, I feel like a baby giraffe trying to walk for the first time until I've played for like a week.

I hope clubs has finally had an overhaul. I doubt it, but it would be nice to have custom unis and stuff like that. Anything new over the last 3 years in the way of editing your pro is an upgrade though.

Is it just me? Or am I completely off? All these online modes 2v2, be a pro, 5v5 and play as your team against the team your team is playing today in the real world just do not do it for me!

When will we get a fully fleshed online manager mode/franchise/connected career mode so I can play as I do offline but with friends managing other clubs in the same league with CPU controlled clubs filling in the gaps??

Maybe I am getting old and interest in online franchise modes are dying off- I just hope not.

Are the Online Seasons just one season and then you start over? Or is it like a Madden franchise mode where it lasts multiple seasons and you have transfers?

Agreed... Just waiting for any soccer game to give us an online league similar to what NCAA gave us... Multiple users, competing against each other AND the cpu for a title... Would be so much fun.

I have never owned FIFA before 14, so with the custom tournaments option what was usually the max teams you could have?

I believe it was up to 64 teams (don't quote me).

I've always played offline and created tournaments. I always play as all 20 Premier League clubs so I get to play in every game.
