As Fifa put their experience behind when you see their PS3 versions in comparison and how totally different it is right now, it's not impossible than like
@Emroth say that another company restart from zero and build something solid. Not at the first try of course, like the 2K example, but it's doable with the AO Tennis system with players you can download : they could do same with teams and a big edit mode.
When i see football manager vanilla before and after, even if it's a PC game, i think it's doable for console too.
But they really need a cohesive website which permit to upload stuffs. Even full option files.
O.T. (well it's linked)
And i'm also tired of their Weekly update or Live update : just 4 to 6 and it's enough. You can't even build a strategy.
All those young who are just on the reserves bench added with random stats, and will never play. They're in for a week then out for the rest of their life. They they're going on Free agent and never disappears (in PES it was the case, in Fifa they reduced a bit the roster but they still added tons of youth in MLS / I know what i'm talking about as i created it on PES 20-21
Football games needs something more concrete, stable and less random in terms of database. There's a tool that was mentionned by i don't know if it's Efootball or Fifa which can analyse the whole pitch, even player motions and height. Just use it FFS! In training for youth, in matchs etc.
I remember the old time when a player didn't played a single match even if he was supposed to be on the bench, he didn't appeared after a DLC or a Fifa Weekly update. Now it's all about the "more, more, more" for the sake of behind "up to date/best database ever". But no. It's not FM. FM can allow to gives random stats at each save for youth : that's the point of the game. But here, you play with and against teams.
Well, i don't considers FM as a football game, more an RPG managing game to be honest, that's not something which could fullfill my empty footie game stomach.
When you don't know something or how someone play because he doesn't play : don't create it, or use some youth scout to give a bit of realism.
They did, just for the sake of youth asking again and again "why don't you added 17 years old Albitro from Tijuana???" etc. like if the guy was a star because he made a bench/reserve in a cup game.
Database is something really important to me. It's fucked up when they add player they don't even know their position or never see their face.
I'm back in old PES 1 to FIFA 14 old days as i edit it : it never happened, no one complained that X player wasn't added after DLC 3.0 or 5th Weekly update.
