Not only does it need the transfer log, it needs to actually keep records/stats. Its something that has always bothered me to no end. That there is no year to year records of all player and league stats/records. The game can't even handle keeping your manager year to year records properly. Its pathetic.

Were pre-season tournaments and player training really highly requested? I remember training was in the FIFA 14 WC game, and it was glitched so that player ratings actually went down if you skipped them. Those mini games get old after a while.

I missed this at first, but the ability to sign free agents outside of the transfer window is huge. I've had a few careers where I had small rosters due to injuries late in the season, and had to end up playing guys way out of position. So this is nice.

Also scouting reports finally lasting an entire year is fantastic.

Disappointed they didn't improve loans. The ability to split the salary needs to be added. And as others have mentioned, to shop out a player to go on loan needs to be added.

And the wording of this has me concerned they are going to do the opposite of what needs to be done:

While the transfer window is open, the number of ‘high-profile’ moves by big players has been tuned to better match the number that typically happen in the real-world.

Really sucks no improvements to youth academy as others have stated. Also there doesn't seem to be any real big changes to improve the GTN.

Also not so sure the story of the season thing will work as intended. But we shall see.

You can choose the players and just sim them each week if you'd like.

I'm excited for the preseason tournaments. I just hope they're done right. I hope in my MLS career I can host some of the powerhouses on my home field. It'll also be fun for my Chelsea career to play some young guys. Although with these large purses I may not be willing to take too much a skeleton crew with me.

I do really hope that they've improved Youth Squads. I'm pretty optimistic they've fixed some of the worst issues, but we will see.

I have the same exact concern as you. The wording just has me thinking that people were complaining about too many high profile players transferring in game. In reality it is FAR less than what it needs to be. Though if you do click on the link it does state that transfers should be more in line with what goes on IRL.

I think the logic needs to be adjusted. Like Real shouldn't sign Aguero in the summer window of the 2015-16 season and then in the winter window sign Lewandowski and not get rid of Benzema and Aguero.

Truthfully the entire transfer system just needs to be re built. I mean seeing a team transfer 2 players total in the winter and summer transfer window is above average in game, while IRL it's WAY beyond that. I mean Liverpool alone has what 8 transfers just in the summer window alone. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the transfer system soon.

The additions sound great, but I sincerely hope you can turn firings off. I'm so tired of spending hours upon hours trying to find workarounds.

Re: FIFA 16: Career Mode Adds Pre-Season Tournaments, Player Training, More

I'm wondering if the preseason tournaments will even be available if you start a career in MLS because of the calendar difference? From the FIFA 16 website:

During the summer months, all the major clubs travel around the world in preparation for the upcoming season. In FIFA 16, we are introducing this key development period to Career Mode. Prior to a given season, your club will be invited to three out of a possible nine tournaments, played in Asia, Europe, Latin America, or North America.

Almost my friend, PES, FIFA, and MGS V in one month is insane to me, not sure when i'll find the time to play all of them.

Now, I'm ready for that soundtrack announcement!

Player Training: They say you'll be able to train your "youth players". Does this mean you'll be able to train your Youth Academy players before you call them up? OR just the younger players on your current squad?

Maybe it really doesn't matter either way, but I'm curious...

Hello!

I couldn't agree more! Particularly concerning the stats records from year to year for every palyer in every league/competiton.
IRL a clubs that want to recruit a player can scout him to have an idea of its skills and overall level but there is no way they can figure out precisely the player rating as we do IG. The only thing that can give a club an objective evaluation of a player is its stats sheet including not only goals and assists but also rate of pass success, tackle success, dribble succes and so on... But when you think that in past editions of fifa the league table is the only thing that you can look at in others leagues (also there is no way to know the winner of others domestic cups winners!), this stats records is not close to happen.

By the way did you noticed that the track of other leagues tables is somehow random, for example from week to week the number of defeat of lets say Barcelona can be two, then five, then three!??
This is something that really annoys me... If other leagues evolution is not continuous but instead occurs in several parrallel dimensions at the same time then of course there is no point to give us player stats!!!

Cheers!!!
