However five games in this season and Cabral has been under performing, I could have used the euros though. One of things I notice is the lack of tactical subs.

Not surprised at all about the lack of tactical subs. Things like this need to be on the top of the list for EA. Sadly, there is nothing we can do to change how the opponent plays during the match itself.

Almost all of these deals have happened in my career mode with Arsenal as well. In the couple of career modes I have been doing, Vidic has requested a transfer, thus a move. Nani has gone to Tottenham also, but I think that may be due to Man U have 3 RM/RW (Young, Nani, Valencia) though I haven't checked their roster. Also, Milner has been transfer listed in every career mode so far. As for the others, they don't make much since other than maybe Kolarov moving (Arsenal has Gibbs at LB, who is young and Man City just got Clichy to start at LB).

Overall, it's a bit odd, but not nearly as bad as some. Last year while playing PES 2011, I witnessed Xavi and Messi go to Juventus in the same transfer window. I immediately quit that master league.

There is one thing which I wish they would considering adding, and that is the outright removal of the first transfer window in a new career mode. Because that transfer window shut months before the games release, it would be cool to play through the first season with teams the way they will actually look (at least until the January window).

A little on/off option at the beginning would be great.

I'd also love a transfer frequency setting.

Agreed on frequency slider.

Just finished season 1 with Feyenoord and finished 3rd behind PSV and Ajax (who won the double). I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it so far minus some of the gameplay aspects. I really like the feel of the career mode since I haven't played career mode in Fifa since Fifa 06. In my career mode I have certainly notice player growth especially since Feyenoord have such a young squad. In the second season de Vrij who is now a 20 year old CB went from a 69 to a 72, teams are now trying to buy him as his stock went up. I am really trying to avoid being a selling team just a Feyenoord have been in the recent years. I do wish that you are able to see previous year stats and records it seems like once the new season comes and just gets rid of everything that was accumulated.

LOVE IT! Very good news about players growth. I am excited to see how things go when I get the game through the mail from Amazon tomorrow. Good luck next season with Feyenoord!

In manager mode can you move your team into a different league once you build them up for a greater challenge?
