Having dived into the pre-game editor for the last couple of weeks I have familiarised myself with a lot of it, however I think there is room for a vast number of improvements. My suggestions would be:
- The ability to identify potential duplicate entries (this can occur from importing data files from various sources) or at the very least the option to export to .csv
- When a conflicting unique ID occurs (again from importing from multiple sources) have the option to overwrite or import as a new entry
- Be able to merge entries in the database
- Link to the central FM database (for example, if I wanted to create a staff member who's not in the current version of FM, but has appeared in previous iterations) I would like to be able to import his stats by entering his/her unique ID. I understand licensing and rights may be an issue with this
- Some kind of stadium builder. Perhaps something similar to what used to be in the FIFA Manager series or other management simulations. This should be for clubs that don't have a licensed in-game stadium primarily to avoid issues there.
- Be able to assign people to multiple clubs as opposed to having multiple entries for one person. This is more for staff members rather than players, but this would be far more useful than having multiple entries for the same person. I came across someone with four separate entries yesterday.
- Women's and more youth teams for clubs/national sides
- The ability to create academies/soccer schools for your club
I have more suggestions, but that's mostly just me as someone who's autistic and thorough would implement and may not receive a lot of broad usage from others.
