Football Manager 2015: 20 Ultimate Wishlist Features It Must Include
10. Quick Free-kicks
At the moment, there is only the facility to take free-kicks 'short' in Football Manager 2014, which is the closest thing we currently have to getting the game back underway in possession-retaining fashion. Therefore, for either teams who want to play with a high tempo or on the break, teams who base their system around breaking up play can really fracture the game's flow. If there was to be a simple option of the player who was fouled looking to get play rolling again immediately - whether it be with a long ball if his team are playing direct, or a short ball in possession football - highlights would be much more free-flowing. Mental statistics such as creativity or decisions could have a profound effect on the quality of quick set piece, which could make for more entertaining gameplay as a result. Having the luxury of quick free-kicks could result in disaster if the wrong man is on the ball, but get it right and the opposition team could be carved in two.
