Not gonna happen bro. If it was going to be in we would have seen it in the beta. EA access is basically the full game just early. They don't have to tell us why its not there so don't expect an explanation.

EA sports... Its NOT in the game.

Still seems odd that the FA Cup presentation would be in, but not the Premier League.

I agree... I was watching all the premier league games over the weekend and I kept seeing EA sports popping up all over the broadcast eg. on the scoreboard, on the ref ect.

As it stands right now all the leagues have this generic look and feel to it and it really kills the immersion.

Nearly played my full 10 hours over the weekend.

Did 1v1 games with a friend, The Journey, and some career mode (although I'll have to start over because I forgot to turn off initial summer transfers)

I'm loving it. I enjoy the game play, and the overall feel of the game. Really enjoying The Journey as well, I hope you cab continue Hunter's career after the first season, even if the cinematic storyline would be over, I'd enjoy playing his career and turning him into a world class player. At first I wasn't crazy about being pigeon-holed into playing as one player, but with the story I don't mind it at all, it's actually kind of nice to be doing a player career where the commentary actually says your name.

I plan on really diving into career mode soon, but on the surface I like some of the minor additions they made. Still wish the youth academy was built out a little more, but it is what it is.

Yeah it is what it is. and it's pretty bad. CM has no longtime motivation, no depth, no creative freedom, no statistic and it's absolutley (even for a videogame) unrealistic. Do other teams grow youth players? no. The transfersystem is broken as f***. And so many other things. I really wish, EA would care about offline players like 2K. Compare MYGM (MYleague) in 2k17 to FIFAs CM and say again that the CM in FIFA is okay or even decent. Do people really play more than 3-5 season in FIFA? I would if i could change the stadium, have to deal with financial aspects (tickets, sponsoring etc), create new jerseys every season (like in real life), Hire staff, get a deeper youth system or....

I played 12 seasons last year with fifa 16 to answer that questions. But that my just be me. I dont need to be able to do a new stadium or new jerseys or any of that. that's the reason i am enjoying madden as just a coach and not a owner i guess. It would be nice to have that stuff yes, but really i just enjoy playing the game. And im enjoying this years game there are something right not that i dont like but im sure they will be worked out. All and all i wish the damn game would come out already.

Maybe it helps that i get more involved in my aspect of the game, i create me as a player but put him in CM on the team i want to play with example this year i went with Morecambe and see how i good he can become, and after i get this team to as high as i want o take them ill switch teams and try to bring my player over from there or if not see where he goes. Its all about how engaged i am.

I would like that, reason why I played Madden NFL 08 on PC for years- franchise mode has stadium maintenence, concession prices, city erlocation, hire/fire staff, fan approval rating, etc, all the ins and outs of owning and running a professional sports team.

I usually end up getting 2-4 years done in my FIFA career mode. Generally try to manage Spurs to a CL victory and then I'm done with the career mode.

I get my in depth, sim experience from Football Manager, so I don't really need FIFA to be a hardcore simulation like FM is. FIFA is more of a "play around and have fun" type thing for me.

I got the game delivered via Best Buy today. That's nice.

Whats missing? The only thing i see is the badges on the score board the new emblem is there.
Bundesliga doesnt show badges on their scoreboard so that is what it is.

You want the sponsors to po up on the scoreboard and change every 10 mins like they do on a broadcast? Actually im suprised that isnt there along with pitch side adboards they could make a few dollars there.

Actually the badges are there on the prem Scoreboard the only thing i see missing now is the lime green highlight you get. and The Epl bug as you call it is there, on replays and stuff its just not purple.

Small detail about the forever edit player/gear bugs.

So it seems in the current squads players aren't really given winter gear. They mainly lack gloves, but some wear the undershirt in cold weather games/winter.

However, you can edit a players sleeves from short to long, to undershirt only, add/remove gloves, and they will still wear the undershirt in cold weather/winter. They'll also wear short sleeves (if assigned) in warmer games.

Last year it was one or the other. So you can actually give players gloves (since so many need them in the squads as they currently are) without having their winter gear go away.

That's actually the proper term https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Score_bug

Noticed this myself and also saw it Twitter. When playing in the winter, if it's not snowing or raining, the crowd wears summer clothes. So you can be playing on an overcast day in Norway in January and the crowd will be in shorts and t-shirts.

SMH.

This isn't a deal breaker by any means but good grief man, REALLY kills the immersion. Love watching games on TV in England in Jan and it's OBVIOUSLY a cold wintry day.

The attention to detail is just seemingly non-existent in this franchise.

Then, we have MLBTS that has PROGRESSIVE LIGHTING that is DIFFERENT for EACH MONTH of the year. Incredible.

But I digress...
 
# 177 bad_philanthropy @ 09/27/16 10:07 AM
Yeah, not a deal breaker at all, but just silly and immersion killing.

Someone tweeted this image at one of the devs. Apparently a winter match in Norway. The crowd looks like they're ready to go to the beach.

Immersion killer? People on stands having a shirt on winter?

Come on... we barely see the stands playing... sendind pics of things like this to the devs, they must be scratching their heads!

So? It was correct in years past? All of the game's details are important. Big and small—especially when things that were good go backwards.
