Heres some of my ideas that i would likt to see in FMH08
Either a youth or B team in england instead of Spain and Germany.
Hiring and firing staff
More offers form rival clubs especially top players.
Ability to recall players from loan spells
Squad viewer when choosing team.
Appeals against sending offs.
Takeovers.( coz theyre happening all thetime now)
Please feel free to post ideas here - unfortunately we won't be able to indicate which ones we will be including in FMH2008 yet (as its far too early to mention such things) ... but we'll be listening
Seriously though...great game. I've had every version of CM/FM since the original and this is great addition. Makes the trips to work enjoyable (now there's something I never thought I'd say).
Reserve squad: not necessarily to play matches. I'm thinking more of a dumping ground to get the useless players in my squad off the screen when I am trying to pick my team. They just get in the way. I only want to see about 20 of my squad as the rest won't get a look in until an injury crisis hits.
The Problem: I think the Sugar daddy unlockable is far too easy to unlock and seems to me like the kind of super unlockable that you would get in another game upon completing the 'story mode' to add to replayability. This is because it basically enables the player to buy any (and any number of) players that they want, hence being able to form a kind of super/favourites team to play with; a team that should annihilate any other in the league. The Solution: this is something i would very much like to see implemented in FMH08- the challenge of winning ALL trophies on the game, with those won viewable from the main menu. Upon completing this, sugar daddy is enabled so you can build your dream team. The Reasons: The sugar daddy option is (as i said) unlocked far too easily and should really only be unlocked to extend the games life, to make people want to play it again after achieving everything possible with their favourite team. It should essentially be there only for replayability. My new proposed method to unlock this means players have something to aim for; to try and achieve. It gives everyone a reason to play those other leagues that they perhaps currently dont really have any interest in. Personally i have played the game til my hands are red and raw, yet ive only managed 3 teams in 2 nations, as well as one national team. I felt that sugar daddy was an irresistible temptation even when i didnt want to use it, and upon enabling it the challenge was no longer there.
The game would benefit enormously from this new feature. Everyone would have a major target to aim for, essentially 'clocking' the game, whilst unlocking a feature that encourages them to build up their World All Stars team and keep playing even longer. Prematurely unlocking such bonuses and never getting any nearer to 'completion' is a real drawback, but this is in my opinion a worthy solution.
Another possibility to build on this is a hall of fame feature, where upon retiring, all trophies won in the managers career are added to the 'checklist' and the manager, along with his score in manager points goes on to the hall of fame (perhaps accompanied by teams managed, transfer stats, etc)
The A-League also needs some real <STRIKE>fine</STRIKE> tuning, SI know what im takin about :p. Wage caps, squad limits, ACL fitness problems, board expecting promotion, "European" stats appearing in player history rather than "Asian",etc.
I know its prob a pain coding but it really is a necessity for the league to be realistic
