The Problem: Theres nothing I loved more in Fifa 09 than playing as a pro, developing my players skill, taking on the world and losing to the Germans on penalties. The premise of player improvement in these matches were how well you played dictated how many experience points you were given to improve the areas you wanted; what was wrong with that? That worked. Now theyve replaced it with achievements; you need to do certain passes, crosses, shots, tricks, fakes; basically filling a quota of things like a child in a sweat shop. To improve your player you need to reign in how you play in a strict way rather than be gloriously self expressive and still improve yourself. The Solution: Replace it with the old system; if they want to make it more difficult they can give experience for certain things done for the position. For example: Striker, experience for dribbles, shots on target, goals, assists. They get small bits for everything but generally they focus the points to the style of player.
