The two year loan is a nice touch, but there needs to be a change in the AI, so more higher rated guys go out on loan.

This and older players never get loaned out in game. If you try to loan someone over the age of 21/22 (at least in my experience), the other team will tell you that they're not looking to loan him out. It happens all the time in real life though. For instance, if a club gets relegated and they have a player whose wages are above the club's means, but they might want him back the following season. Or if an older player is unhappy about playing time, but no one wants to pay for a full transfer. Just little things.

I like everything I hear.

Those who ask for 30 year career, you guys have too much time in your hands I can hardly finish 4-5 seasons. Playing online doesn't help obviously.

Preseason tournaments is nice. As much as I can't wait each season to start, it's also nice to have a chance to try out some guys, see what I have before league starts. Especially if it gives me opportunity to add to the budget, even better. More purpose for preseason. I usually play all the youngsters and subs in friendlies. Unlimited subs is a great addition for that purpose. Make everyone happy preseason.

Of course we'll still get that 50 overall guy saying "boss I feel good, play me in the next game" when you're going into the EPL season. "in your dreams buddy".

2 year loans is good, hopefully it goes both ways. I'd like to get rid of some youngsters for 2 years and not have to deal with them again every season until they become something remotely good to become a sub for the squad.

I never bother with youth academy. I feel like most EPL sides have enough youngsters that can go on loan for development and come back after a few seasons to be implemented into the system. Other than that, "loan and sign youngsters" is my academy.

Agree w/ everything Hedache but sometimes I'd like to sim when I'm done with my CM to see how the youngsters pan out.

I would also like to be able to export teams from seasons and create an offline tournament featuring my favorite/best clubs.

I agree hopefully we can see more variety of players going out on loan and not just young talent. Also I hope the youth team is improved as I found it really disappointing. If you are only playing with the EPL teams than it might not seem that big of deal but when you are trying to build a lower rated to for a few years it really becomes apparent how bad it is implemented with the youth's progression. Luckily it looks like the new training aspect could help this so we shall see.

I've seen complaints about the types of players that are being loaned. If I'm not mistaken with my observation, I think the nature of loaning players is changing in the recent years (in real life) compared to the past. You see occasions like Barry going on loan to Everton, or a lot of examples like Origi's sign and loan back to selling club, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if the development team hasn't paid back a visit to the loan logic in a while considering these changes in the market. And it may not happen for FIFA16, but hopefully one day, they'll have time to tweak that aspect of the game as well. To be fair, I don't expect them to improve everything every year. It's usually in waves in certain sections of the game. And that's understandable.

I love the game and buy it every year, and every bit of improvement is a nice surprise for me. I just keep my fingers crossed for no bad surprises.

For me, the worst thing that happened last year was removal of manual lobbies which made it really hard to find manual players online, and I try to stick with manual vs manual online play. I really hope there is something good happening in that department.

Agreed that loan logic IRL has changed a bit, especially in the EPL once the money took off.

I want the inclusion of release clauses. I've always found it too easy to build smaller clubs into powers but it would be nice if the bigger clubs would poach your club by meeting the release clause. You'd have to set release clauses when you sign those players too.

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

There are a couple of things I want with the loan logic.

1. Being able to bring in guys like Falcao on loan with an opportunity to buy after the full season. Obviously this whole system would have to change because your team's owners don't allow you to spend more than like 5 million currency on a loan to purchase offer. This is the second straight season Falcao has been loaned to a EPL team. I want this to be possible in FIFA.

2. Also give me more offers for guys like Alen Halilovic for FC Barcelona, Max Meyer, Julian Draxler, Kurt Zouma, etc. if I decide I want loan them out. Also your YA guys with a high OVR and POT. If the guy has ratings in the 50's give me offers from an English League 2 side. Also allow more teams from the league you are playing in. This might not happen IRL but in FIFA you can only see the stats for the leagues/tournaments you are playing in. And this is just down right sad. So allow me to loan guys out to teams in my league so I can see how they are playing.

Edit:
Also another transfer thing: if I am playing as Barcelona allow me to move players between the La Liga team and FC Barcelona B freely...I shouldn't have to spend any of my transfer budget only bring on the players wages.

Still nothing on any additional national teams in game? Or leagues?

If there was going to be, it would have been announced at gamescon. So don't expect anything now. There is always a slight possibility they do a stand alone announcement later this month. But they rarely do those. Most all major announcements for this game are at gamescon.

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

I like the changes and ability to choose preseason games again. Like others stated the youth academy needs any change as it's been the same forever . This is probably the problem with FUT modes in all sports games as they take away designers/devs time from focusing on real game modes that have been staple for years the franchise/career mode and instead update dumb sports Pokemon card game .

Is this confirmed in the game? I've only been able to find info on the pre-season tournaments. Choosing friendly opponents would be HUGE!

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

This is going to be such a long stretch until the game comes out. I need it in my veins!

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

I also just realized I hope they added sign and loans. So I can buy that up and coming player on that smaller team, but keep here there on loan to grow until I need him.

And the ability to split loan salary. Its insane for a small team to pay a guy $25k a week on loan. In real life guys like that, the loaning team pays partial salary for the year. Or the smaller team pays the loaning team a set fee and the loaning team pays full salary.

Its small things like this that would put CM over the top for me.

Agreed ZO. 2 really detailed additions that might seem minor but aid in the realism of a MM.

Spot on with everything. To add to this, I wish that when buying a young player with potential from a smaller club we could loan a young player (or multiple players) from our club in exchange as a deal sweetener.

To go a little further, it would be cool if there were partnerships between bigger and smaller clubs. Similar to what Chelsea does by sending millions of young players to Vitesse in the Netherlands. Or like how Liverpool has been sending its young players to Swindon Town for the past couple of seasons. Liverpool also played Swindon in a friendly a couple weeks ago, so scheduling friendlies between partnered clubs could be another feature.

Naturally, I prefer gameplay and "big picture" improvements, but it would be cool to have the smaller things added over the years.

Yea, it would be really cool if when I am using Barca I don't have to buy Halilovic from Barca B.
