Amazing game. I have been hooked; I did 10 seasons straight in one day. I played with a twist for a challenge, using only English players. Fun fact: in the early seasons, I "cheated" by signing high-potential non-English players, then selling them to generate/until I generated an English player. Usually, the first generated player starts with an overall of around 30, but their nationality was random—among 12, I believe. And the more you generate the same player in hopes of getting an english one, the overall drops rapidly. So Spence, with a 99 potential, started at 1 because of this. Now at 27, he is at 83 overall, hoping to reach that potential before it's too late. He is a late bloomer, but I do believe in him. He's a future captain too, after our current captain, the eternal captain Wallace —who peaked at 88 and is the only player from the original randomly generated team who remained—retires.
I'm very happy that I found this space to talk about what I would have loved to see improved in the game:
First, it might be obvious, but more teams (with a league of 20 teams), more divisions for a road to glory, and cups (regional, national, international) would be great. In other terms, slower pace/more to do.
Second, a more complex transfer system with a database and a search function—with filters—would be appreciated. Also, visibily about the other teams. Is this possible?
Third, when advancing to a game, being able to check the screen about the match/team details before choosing the squad would be more practical and I found myself wishing it was this way periodically.
Fourth, shoudln't really high-potential players, i.e. 90 plus, be more rare for realism and immersion?
Thank you very much for this game!
