Natural Disasters/Real World Events

[profplum96]

I think FM would really have another layer added to it if every year there was a small chance, maybe 1%/2% chance, of a real world event happening, such as Coronavirus, Brexit, a major change in the structure of the leagues, an addition of a super league etc. Maybe also something like the Hillsborough/Munich disasters, though this is probably too much for a game for all ages. I think it would force a lot of managers to radically change the way they've set up or the way they manage and adapt as real world managers would, though understand it would take A LOT of coding. To start off, maybe we could just add a few simpler events like a virus stops the league and we've to vote on how the final table should be decided then as the real life years go by, some more complex ones could be added to future games like a league structure overhaul. Like most features too, make it optional at the beginning of the save

While there are reactionary elements to real world events throughout FM, we aren't looking to include some of the rather unpleasant realities of the world. While that may change some day at present the philosophy is that FM should be more of an escape from the more unfortunate elements of life and we're not looking to represent those in game.
