Why do they keep removing features every year?

[NYMets2016]

Last year I remember they removed the ability in the main menu to pick a favorite team and then play their next match up in real life.

Now it seems they removed the team news section entirely.

They also removed the practice mode.

Why do they keep taking things out?

So they can add it back in 3 years later and call it a new feature.

No practice mode?? Is this confirmed for both PS4 (console) and PC versions? It really baffles me how a game that represents football will have no practice mode, smh

It's actually half the fun for me, trying out different tactics and approaches and such in a fully customizable practice setting. Used to spend hours with it in PES. Is there no practice mode inside the career mode as well?

sadly this is the case and it was the usual thing from EA to do, they announce something that was in their games years ago ... sometimes they dont bring the features back though which is even worse

Since they like removing features and modes to then add them back a few years later why don't they do that with FUT?

This is just me, but I would think that because these games are not limitless and are taking up more and more memory/space i.e. "The Journey", that sacrifices have to be made.

You can go to 'kick-off' and the matchup selected is your favorite team's next match. For example, on my screen it shows ARS v BUR which is their match this weekend.
