Re: Be A GM lacking the small things
I think my biggest let-down in Be A GM has always been atmosphere, and a reason to care about anything, really.
I would love for playoff games to maybe be chippier, have more fights, louder fans, more chanting and taunting. Hell, same for the playoffs. Anything to give me an indication that i'm playing in a real game.
I would even like a little more from my player management. There's no reason for me to care about lines. There's no hot or cold for my players or goalies, there's no players asking for trades, no negotiating with guys when i want to re-sign my free agents. There's just nothing to make me feel like i have to put any thought into the game.
I would love to have players click together, and maybe get a little stat boost. Maybe have players who just won't work, so when i lose a star winger, i have to juggle the lines and see who will fit, maybe i suffer for a while until they are back. Does my backup goalie steal the show? Doesn't really matter currently...they all play the same.
One thing that i loved when i was first playing FIFA a few years ago, was as i normally do when I'm playing with a team that i don't love in real life, i like to mix it up and put players on the team that I like. So, in FIFA i traded with Chelsea to pick up Drogba. I was pumped for my new starting lineup of my other two top wingers with Drogba down the middle. But, then i got a curveball thrown at me. When Drodge arrived and signed, my star winger wasn't happy, because he thought it would take the focus off of him, so he demanded a trade. I was mad, but it was also awesome. I had to change my plans now. I was in a spot where his overall was lower because he wasn't happy, and that was affecting his playing and the teammates around him until i traded him. So, i dumped him (no idea if it affected his trade value, but it would be pretty nice to have no-trade clauses and requested trades raise and lower the change someone signs with you, and their overall trade value) to a team in our division, and every time i played that club, i made sure to get at least one petty tackle in on him, just for leaving.
Is it a small thing? Yeah, but it gave me a whole story based around one small trade. And more importantly, i was more invested in my team, frustrated with having to do something, and finally even more pumped to see that day circled on the calendar when we played his new team.
