Another notable absence in FIFA's Career Mode is the ability to develop and expand your stadium, which creates a problem when you take a league 2 side to the Premier League, yet you're still playing at one of EA's simple arenas. This is obviously a pretty big problem and is made even worse when you take that same side into Europe, then start achieving consistent success. Yet still, you're getting about 10,000 fans tops. Obviously, this wouldn't happen in the real world. Adding the option to expand your stadium would be a big part of career mode and would affect the way you play the game. Either you could approach the board and request it or they would decide to do it themselves. The modifications would require your transfer budget to be cut and may see you forced to sell your best players for cash. This is the next step for Career Mode as it allows for a more personal touch to your favourite club. This game mode has fallen behind in recent years but these are the sort of updates that will take it back to being one of the best available.
