Football Manager 2016: 10 Essential Fan Demands It Must Include

6. Controversy

Football Manager has made some giant leaps in terms of the interactions and overall realistic feel of the game, but it's still a long way from being a perfect system. New articles and some of the poll features on FM 2015 were nicely used, but there needs to be more natural reports and headlines to break away from the fairly rigid mould, and that's where controversy could come in. How many footballers have been caught up in bizarre incidents, scuffles, or iconic moments? Suarez biting Chiellini, Gerrard's slip against Chelsea, Mario Balotelli being Mario Balotelli, and the endless amounts of social media quarrels that players get drawn into should all be replicated with in-game incidents. Like with everything, there'd need to be a balance, but fans want to see some real history being made, with dynamic events occuring throughout the game.
