It really sucks that Ea removed the player manager option, i really don't understand why. I haven't started a player career this year at all and fancied it this week, but i didn't want to start with a 71 rated pro this late in the year. So, I decided i would play as Messi, but i didn't really want to play with barca, wanted to play at Man Utd. So, transferred him and used current customised squads. Now i have two options, neither of which are what I want. First being manager, I can't be bothered doing transfers/developing the kids and rotating squads. Really can't be bothered and I just want to play games as Messi. If i choose a player career, the AI do transfers which is fine; they've bought in Lewandowski. However, the team sheet contains Rooney, Romero, Fosu-Mensah and Rashford. All decent player, but no Pogba, no DDG, Lewandowski and Zlatan on the bench?
******* stupid.
Furthermore, if i were doing Be a pro, i think it sucks there's no manager option as how can you improve at FK's if your player isn't on FK's, because he has poor stats. Unless you're a manager, you don't have the option to change team management.
I may have missed the option, or they may have just created the player manager within the manager career, but if they haven't it's just another strange decision that has never made sense to me E.G Pro Club AI improving as you increase leagues. I don't understand that at all.
