3. More Realistic Squad Selection By AI
While contesting the "lesser competitions" throughout career mode such as the Capital One Cup, I have often found that squad selection is completely and utterly unrealistic. During league cup games and fixtures that are of very little importance to me, I often play my reserve team, both for fun and also to build up their experience points in the process. My opposition, on the other hand, does not oblige. For instance, I played a league cup game against Arsenal in the third round while playing through my career as Manchester United and I opted to give the likes of Alexander Buttner, Chris Smalling, Nick Powell and Danny Welbeck a game. Arsenal meanwhile fielded virtually full strength opposition. When in reality Arsene Wenger would have played the likes of Lukasz Fabianski, Kieran Gibbs, Francis Coquelin and Andrey Arshavin, the likes of Szczesny, Sagna, Walcott and Podolski have all played. I'd like squad selection to be a bit more realistic when it comes to playing the AI in the lesser competitions because in reality the League Cup isn't taken very seriously at all.
