FIFA 20: 10 Improvements We Want To See In Career Mode

10. Realistic Fixture Scheduling

Look above to see the nightmare scenarios faced by unwitting managers in FIFA 19. The poor boss there has a Championship clash with Bolton and a crunch Europa League game with Fenerbahçe within the span of just 24 hours. That's inhumane on the players, taxing on the gaffer and 100% unrealistic.

That kind of congestion doesn't happen in real footy, so why is it happening in EA's simulation?

FIFA 20 needs to fix this, it's ridiculous. Real teams aren't expected to play back-to-back matches across two days. Unfortunately, it's an all-too-familiar problem for anyone who has spent a few years powering through Career Mode. Eventually, you're gonna' run into this scenario, and it's murder on the legs of your team.

More realistic calendar algorithms are needed. It should not be impossible for the CPU to figure out how to juggle deep cup runs without punishing the player for doing well. The only solution is having two completely different squads, and that's hardly authentic either.
