6Match Replays And Highlights
Examining Games Can Help Teams Flourish
While every console or PC can record matches played, an in-game match replay feature that everyone in the club can see could be a game-changer in how friends improve their chemistry on the pitch. With the lack of highlights after matches, friends are often left arguing with each other, complaining about specific moments that impact the trajectory of matches.
To alleviate this common occurrence,a match VOD or set of highlightsthat all players can view would provide club members with insight into mistakes and key moments, furthering the chance to improve, while also reducing the chance of bickering, a frequent result of the wild Pro Clubs experience.
5Co-Op Skill Games
Refine Team Chemistry On The Practice Field
Skill Games, a feature consistent in the last decade of games in theFIFAfranchise, while helpful, has become somewhat stale, especially in Pro Clubs. Often found to be lackluster and repetitive, to spice up and rework the feature, a co-op version of Skill Games, including players' pros, would be an effective tool for improving chemistry and working on specific actions together. In the downtime of Pro Clubs, where players wait for friends to arrive for a group session, a duo could work on particular scenarios while gaining valuable XP and skill points in the process.
Such a minor tweak of a storied feature could payoff for many potential strikeforceswho try to perfect their two-man game, attempting to replicate famed connections akin to Lamine Yamal and Raphinha or Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
4Return Of The 10 Divisions
A Return To The Traditional Football Structure Would Appease Fans
For years,game modes such as FUTand Pro Clubs adopted10 divisions, consisting of harder teams to face as progression continued, with promotion and relegation being integral parts ofEA FC. In Pro Clubs recently, the series chose to implement a chance-based system, which often becomesconvolutedand lacks the excitement and buzz friends used to experience as they gradually went through the tiers.
The last-minute goals to secure promotion or stave off relegation, the shenanigans, and the pulsating drama that the traditional football system offers are superior in every way, with fans of the formula keen on seeing its return.
3Football Icons Join Clubs Based On Success
Legends Like Ronaldinho And David Beckham Can Join TheEclecticGroup Of Pros On The Pitch
On the road to reaching glory with friends and AI-generated club players, the incentive for promotions and success is often lacking, with the only rewards available being access to bigger stadiums and cosmetics. To encourage success, reaching certain thresholds, such as promotions and winning cups, could allow players toearn legendary soccer stars to add to their club’s arsenal,lining up legends of the game like Ronaldinho, David Beckham, andThierry Henry to bolster their squad’s ranks.
Maybe theseillustriousplayers, while a luxurious perk of success, can only be kept if winning is sustained, with a potential relegation seeing such players being lost from a club. The combination of created pros assisting some of the great icons of the game’s past adds a sense of imagination and motivation, enabling players to live out their childhood dreams of playing alongside soccer royalty.
2Friends Can Join At Halftime Or Reconnect
Disconnects And Late Arrivals Can Get In On The Action
For years, players have dealt with internet issues that have either kicked them from Pro Clubs games or disconnected them before they could even load in to start playing. To solve a problem every player has suffered when playing theEA FCfranchise, the option toallow players to drop into an existing match at half-time or reconnect after being kickedfrom a specific game would save a lot of hassle.
Particularly for those late arrivals to the gaming session, this implementation would be an efficient way to get into the thick of action, joining their friends in the middle of the action as they seek toclaim glory for their esteemed clubs.
1Open World
Taking Inspiration From NBA 2K Will Give Players More Freedom
In the world of sports games,NBA 2K’sintroduction of MyPARK, a social hub and a basketball lovers' heaven, has been an influential addition to the Create-a-Player template. The feature is already planned to be implemented in the comingEA FCgames. For Pro Clubs in particular, anopen-world parkwould be the perfect location for players to level up their pros while continuing the multiplayer madness.
From 3v3 pitches to commercial cosmetic shops, the personalization and entertainment for one’s pro would be infinite. The designs of a MyPARK inEA FCwould be best suited to some of the game’s most influential nations and their respective cultures, withBrazilian streets and British landscapesserving as the ideal backdrop for this potentially game-changing feature.
