5 EA Sports Titles That Have To Make A Comeback

2. FIFA Manager

In gaming, two things are certain, EA Sports will release FIFA every year, and they will continue their career mode. Once upon a time, however, it wasn’t too much of an issue, as we had FIFA for playing football, and FIFA Manager for the management experience.

FIFA Manager has not had a chance to rear its head since the 2013/14 season and it would make sense with Football Manager dominating the management-sim market, for EA Sports to revive this classic.

What separated FIFA Manager from Football Manager was the various levels of customization on offer for your club. You had the ability to fully renovate your club’s stadium, customize your club’s kit fully and purchase and set the price of merchandise on offer.

While Football Manager gives the definitive experience of a manager, FIFA Manager made sure to give you the option to operate as a manager, director of football, and/or chief executive of the club. It was the definitive backroom football experience.

On top of this, a feature only introduced to Football Manager part the way through last decade debuted on FIFA Manager, the ability to watch your players play the full game live. FIFA Manager was a management simulator ahead of its time and it makes sense that with the decline of FIFA Career mode, the rise of Football Manager, and the demand for FIFA to up its management mode game, for EA Sports to look to this title for revival.
