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

9. Actual Press Conferences

Those pointless pre-match Press Conferences (if they can even be called that) have got to go. Now, there's a chance choosing 'Praise', 'Unnerve' or 'Motivate' does have a subtle impact on your team, and it would add a new layer to the gameplay if they did, but they're so utterly skippable. In fact, we only do them out of habit at this point.

It's like we're trying to create our own narrative.

Imagine that, "narrative". Other sports games like NBA 2K19 have it by the bucket, so why is football left out all the time? The real-life game has become a soap opera anyway, making this even less forgiveable. Genuine press events, whether to deal with misfiring strikers, unhappy players or to let the papers grill managers, are needed.

A sluggish system that relies on players making up their own stories doesn't cut it these days. We want questions that offer context, immersiveness and add fun to the Career Mode experience.
