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

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

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.

Both times I've played City and Arsenal, Hart and Cech were on the bench. But it's not Goalkeepers, other positions also the star player is benched.

Can I admit that I'm pretty disappointed by MM again, it's basically the same as 15 with two added gimmicks. I'll give EA credit for player training because so far it has worked great for but outside of that, it seemed like they put very effort into it. Preseason tournaments are cool but it shouldn't be looked at as a huge feature, most of us will end up sinning over them anyway. EA has truly disappointed again with this mode, it's like they put no more than a couple days worth of effort into it.

It's low stamina. Guess I'll be editing that, again. Smh. Wish that would have been looked at, too.

Absolutely feel the same way!...it hasnt been updated for a long time, other games have well and truly more to offer as a manager mode...It's clear that Manager Mode is nowhere near priority for the devs, and most effort gets put into FUT....its a shame because there's alot that could be added to make the Manager Mode really fun!

Are other league tables/manager offers glitches? For example, last year you'd get an offer from Fiorentina sitting 10th In serie A, but when you'd look in the Other Leagues section they'd have a completely different position. There were tons of little things like these that added up over the course of several seasons that ruin the immersion of CM. Gameplay issues notwithstanding...

I hate to say it, but I agree. They really didn't do enough to MM. After playing it a bit, it feels pretty much like 15. Which felt pretty much like 14. Just not enough changes. I mean they did a handful of minor changes, that I do appreciate. The small touches are nice. But seeing a lot of the same problems/bugs/glitches etc is kinda disheartening. But I think a lot of us, myself included will look past that for this year. Mainly due to how much they improved on the actual game play itself. Next year better see some major improvements to MM though.

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

I wish they would have done more to MM as well, however the player training and massive gameplay improvements will keep me interested for longer this year.

I really appreciate the sim approach they have taken to gameplay this year. All we are missing now are the "rpg" if you will features that would make it feel like we are really a manager. I saw on PES this year the player roles where you could have a legend or maestro that would influence the way other players played around them, I thought that was a really cool idea and something Fifa lacks.

Also wish we had more in depth stats and that they would be retained through your career. Also a way to export them would be nice.

I'm so tired of having to keep a notebook at my side to keep track of my win/loss/draws etc during manager mode.

I've been asking for better stats and tracking for years. I doubt it will ever happen. Its pathetic on these current systems that they can't/don't do it.

I have been asking also.

Back years ago 2K MLB had a great system. The Show is awful, FIFA is awful... Pretty much no excuse since 2K Baseball did it with far more stat catagories in 2011 on old gen. They also had full players stats from their whole career. Every major stat and kept yours for 15 years and kept records and ugh... If it has been done in a game like baseball no other sports game has an excuse.

EA's NHL series, developed in the same building as FIFA, has pretty good stat tracing overall. Tracks every minute every player plays, shots, hits, shifts, as well as all the normal stats. It's pretty impressive.

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

That is true NHL has a good one and so did NCAA series.... FIFA will hopefully someday also

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

We might not have gotten a lot of improvements in mm as we wanted yes. But at least we aren't playing the same generic AI every friggin game like last year. I've played about 8 matches so far and every game has been sooooo different. I am actually using substitutions and changing formations to adjust. I've seen so many animations new on FIFA this year. While I wish there was more to mm mode, they fixed youth academy, and progression.

At the end of the day. I will take improved gameplay over improved manager mode.

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

OMG!!!!! You can now search for players based on their actual position again! This has finally been restored after missing the last two years. No more looking at hundreds of players because you have to search CM while looking for a CDM or CAM. They also brought back the ability to search for RWB/LWB and RW/LW.

You can search by LM, RM, CDM, CM, CAM, CB. LB, RB, LWB, RWB, ST, CF, LW, RW, LF , RF. Not sure why they added LF/RF. No one has that as a their main position. But still this little thing made me so happy. So happy!
