This isn't so lovely to report.

Press conference scenes are still an illogical mix of samey questions and moments that don't make a lick of sense. EA clearly don't pay much attention to these, because your gaffer is still being asked about consigning rivals to relegation three games into the season. That's really rubbish.

It's not much to ask that FIFA serves up some new questions/responses every year. Even rewording some of the dialogue would be a start, but no - follow-up questions rarely have anything to do with what your manager has just replied as well, and that's unforgivable when answers are supposed to shape everything from squad morale to player momentum and board confidence.

There's a knock-on effect to this that just feels super-lazy too. This gamer was actually stunned when he found out that EA had missed such an open goal after thrilling the pants off everybody by boasting about how many real-life managers you can play as.

Are you ready? Here it is...
