In FIFA 14, the transfer system received a change in the form of the visibility of player overalls. Due to the new scouting system (known as the "Global Transfer Network"), gamers now have to identify a specific player and scout him just to obtain basic info such as his overall rating. Back in the day, and up to FIFA 13, all it took to get this simple piece of information was a search for a player, and while this more in-depth, authentic method gives the game another level of realism, the fact of the matter is that many players found this way too much hassle. Put another way, the move alienated large section of the fanbase who may enjoy a quick game as oppose to a long slog of stats and figures, and it also means that the pool of players that are actually accessible to purchase shrinks considerably.

A simple question of "Enable Global Transfer Network" would do the trick, enabling players to choose how they want their transfers to work.
