When each new version of FM is released, first month or two I tend to only play with Editor: creating new nations, new leagues and divisions, creating local clubs and players… and when the work is done, I enjoy playing with my local club from bottom division and my work isn’t done until I win every single trophy there is and my club becomes the richest club in the world…

So, the things I want to see implemented in new version of FM are mostly Editor-based:

-the possibility of creating new nations (not just reactivating and renaming defunct nations)

-possibility of having nations that have their championships, but aren’t members of FIFA (like the ones that compete in VIVA, ELF, or even Island games)

-more possibilities for divisions and cups (like regional cups where clubs are placed in cups just for being from specific region of the country)

-regions and sub-regions (for more accurate promotions and relegations between divisions that don’t have the same number of subdivisions between upper and lower tier)

-possibility to easily change number of teams in qualifications for some international competitions (for example if I create 10 new nations, I would like that all ten nations play the WC qualifiers and that none of the previous nations is left behind)

-possibility to create supernation leagues (not fantasy leagues, but some kind of local version of Champions League where clubs from neighboring countries would play if for example they win their championship)

-possibility to design your own logo for club

-there should be attribute for each club to so you could put the name that club fans use for themselves and it would be nice to put some of the influential fans (like fanclub leaders) as non-playing staff

-it would be nice to have in each player’s preferences favorite nation, nation in which championship he would like to play (like player would like to play in Spain and if he gets offers from let’s say Betis, Chelsea and Bayern his love for Spain would have impact on his decision to sign for Betis even if the contract isn’t that good as Chelseas and Bayerns is)

I would really like to see something more based on the manager’s salary. Right now, basically, it doesn’t matter how much is the manager earning- he can work for charity and still manages to survive without food. Even if a simpliest spend-mode would be created (even something as basic as in New Star Soccer- buy a house/car/go to a casino and loose a bunch of dollars), I would have a feeling that it is more necessary to demand much more money from the club and make it closer to bankrupcy

Hi There,
My suggestion for FM14 is to add an option allow us to edit the managers history, it is important for who used to play the previous FMs versions.

Hi Danny… I have to say the ‘scrapping of technical stats’ idea is a great one!!! It’s easy to put in one or two high stats on a search when looking for a player and getting what you want… Having to look at a players average rating, goals/key tackles/key passes/passes and assists per game, their age and the teams/leagues they have played in would be much nearer real football management. We would have to learn to use our own common sense and judgement to get the right players in. It would also make me use my scouts more and progress their abilities too or go out searching for better ones…
It’s a simple, but great idea and would enhance FM massively if done properly – though probably a bit late for FM14 now.

Sounds like a brilliant idea, if players’ change then ours should too right!

It would be great that the manager could edit his own profile. For example, after being in a club for more than 3 years, I would like to add that club as a Favourite team. The same with the favourite people, hated clubs, where we would like to play in the future, etc.
