*The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

"It seems like a mixed bag. Some players just won't grow in that area which is disappointing but could also be argued as realistic. I think what happened before is the May update messed with progression a ton. If you signed players before their first May last year they still had a chance to grow. EA seems to have eliminated that by aligning YA players to a normal progression model with incremental upgrades throughout the year. I would say my best guess is there is a similar progression model to last year, but the May update (bug?) has been fixed so all at least have the chance to grow."

...seems like a winner to me!

I am that poster on Reddit. I'll answer questions if anyone has them. Last year I did similar impressions here during the access period instead but the community over there is a bit bigger now.


I was very encouraged by what I saw. Some legacy problems but it seems like they corrected most of what was causing problems. I think, as much as it was cool to see such a big jump, the May update caused most physical growth problems. I don't think all players will grow physically now, same as before if you signed Pre-may but you can keep them in your academy to grow longer before bringing them into the first team.

Btw, Strikers were the position I saw with the best speed from the start. CB's had the best all around physicals.

Are the #1 goalkeepers starting the majority of games or are you guys seeing the backups playing too much again this year? Just wondering if they changed the stamina any.

I've started a Chelsea MM but after 3 summer tournament games might restart in a week or so. Loftus-Cheek is currently rated 63 which I think is pretty low and should be somewhere around a 70. So debating whether to continue and develop him or wait for EA to give him a little boost.

Why wait for EA? You could just edit him outside of MM and restart.

As far as I saw De Gea started every game for me when not hurt.

I'm sorry. I meant for the CPU controlled teams.

I didn't get a chance to look at that. Sorry.
