Why can't fifa do this? Here's part of the press release from nhl 2003 produced by EA SPORTS - same company, for some reason the fifa creators can't handle awesome ideas.
"In the Franchise Mode gamers can select one of the existing NHL teams or --->create their own custom team<--- and develop it into a dynasty. Users can sign, trade and release players and scout upcoming rookies in the NHL entry draft. As they compete for the coveted Stanley Cup over multiple seasons, players also have the opportunity to take part in mid-season All-Star games and earn a myriad of postseason awards."
It's called management - I would love to see something like this in FIFA's season mode. And why not listen to the commentary on the nhl series, its awesome too. (in fact, why not just make it exactly the same as the nhl series - oh wait, they already did that with fifa 2000 and fifa 2001)
