Why Does Every Game Make International Management So Boring? 

Bro I always turn off international management, there is like no national teams, the cups are not even licensed, and it’s so random who wins it 💀

Since 2020 I am yelling about that Every national team should be in FIFA/EAFC. Even if 90% are unlicensed it would be already perfect!

Lack of teams kills it, the 2010 World Cup game was perfect because of every fifa national team was in the game and playable. I’ll take playing San Marino in a qualifier over what we have now

Its sad to see, especially for AFC. We used to have Australia, South Korea, China, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia with New Zealand grouped in as well. Now its just Qatar? No one asked for that

I want the Fifa 14 Wc game back so bad

It’s 2024 we fifa still don’t have FIFA Club World Cup, not every nation in the game. No World Cup. What a shame

It would be cool if you could run your country's youth setup. You could invest in the U-17, U-16 and so on as well as move the best young players up and down in the teams.

Honestly I wouldn’t even care if national teams weren’t licensed, we need more national teams

Only reason I've actually selected a National team in the past few fifa is so I can scout a player without actually sending a scout to a country. Can take Austria, Poland or Ghana. See the entire roster. Add them to transfers hub without wasting a scout. Rinse and repeat

They had many national teams They removed all national teams that don't have license

EA just need to add more international tournaments and make the players act wilder after the final whistle. EA also need to make underdog stories in international management they need to add more scoreboards aswell and even though EA Want realism nothing is realistic

The games I enjoyed international management the most were PES 13 and FIFA 20 since there were so many teams and you could make a lot of different custom competitions. Modern games lack this a lot

I used to love playing the CONMEBOL qualifiers in the older FIFA games, it’s a real shame that there’s barely enough teams to do any qualifiers for all of the continents

5:10 23 is enough for Euros? Not even that😅😂

It’s crazy FM have removed international management based on 5% of users playing it. Only 5% are using it because it’s neglected and an empty experience. It’s honestly gaslighting from FM.

The last PES is pretty good for national teams but you need to DIY qualifying

PES 2021 did national games very well and they had many countries too. They also had all the continent tournaments too + national anthem for everything. Honestly the only game that did it right was

I have one thing that could change the complete experience and, EA got it for Alex Hunter in the past. If anyone know the game Dark Picture they should now see where I'm going to. Cause management is at least 50% communication, decisions, taking a path instead another, I'm not talking about the shitty confierences outcomes that are always good if you know the answer to take, I'm talking about having a direct impact on a specific player morale, fans or even board relations. Pls EA, sign and build something with a studio who do that :)

A much needed discussion about the shambles of the state of international teams and management

My guy has never played football manager and doesn’t know International Management has only been removed from FM25 and is coming back, with brand new improvements in FM26…

Love your videos! Excellent work! Keep it up!

Love your ideas. I would add some sort of chemistry system, which boosts you team if a lot of players are used to a similar play style at their clubs and even more if you have many players from the same clubs. That’s a common challenge for NT coaches, the 11 best players may not be the best team, if they barely know each other and only have so little time to train together. Germanys recent resurgence is not least due to two blocks of German players suddenly performing at such a high level at Leverkusen and Stuttgart, maybe you could even advise your players to change clubs to get more playing time and stuff. Also give us the option to force a job offer or at least to chose one team at the start. I know it’s not realistic but it is so annoying to have to pray on RNG that the offer you are interested in pops up.

Lack of licensing makes it unplayable!

FM doesn’t make it boring imo. In my saves ive had teams like Morocco win the World Cup against France which is cool

only good one is the mobile game "world soccer champs"

There should be two changes. One, as you mentioned, is just getting in more teams. How can we not have Brazil in the game?? Another issue is… letting us see the stats of individual players! How hard could it be? We should know where all the players play football and how many goals they’re scoring. I don’t need overall ratings to pick the squad, it’s the performance that matters. Always found it stupid when your GK is the golden glove winner for 2-3 consecutive years but doesn’t get picked just because the national team has three 85-90 OVR keepers (who keep their ratings well into their thirties)

29 national teams is wild. No qualifying for major tournaments cause every team is qualified by default, lol. I guess it's nice to have licensed national team but scrapping all unlicensed ones entirely cannot be the answer. There simply is no world cup without brazil and it's honestly a joke how teams outsude europe are getting treated. International competition has never seen a lower low than this year. Which is sad cause managing clubs has practcally never been better than in FC 25.

They need to fix the national teams to unlicensed that way the tournament has every nation. Then focus on just building young talent from that region (regens) Then make it like real life. Accept a managerial role for an international team, means you finish the season with your club. Then make the world cup an official trophy and establish your team (something cool would be a call up cut scene/Squad announcement) Have players get injured and red cards become a thing where players miss tournaments and rebrand it so they play when they should (e.g. Asian Cup was in the middle of last season)

6:07 that would be really annoying, i understand the spain example but imagen you take over a small team which wants you to play defensivly and then you improved the national team and have world class players and they still force you to play defensivly. And you said before that you would want to manage a national team alone without managing a club but that would mean that you can influence how good your players are. You can't scout in those countries.

All I want to do is try to take the Cayman Islands to the World Cup. I don't even know any players so the licensing doesn't even matter, it's just the principle of having the country with a realistic rating there and the challenge of taking them further than they ever could. I thought with EA introducing scouting in almost every country that generic national teams would have been introduced alongside, at least in career mode. It just feels like the 2 go hand in hand, but no, we can scout players from random nations for the pure purpose of having a different name and a cool flag, but you won't ever get to see your scouted superstar carry their country for many years or even play a single game for their country. It just feels like it has to be done.

There was massive media pressure for the Socceroos to fire Arnold after we lost to Bahrain which only grew after we drew with Indonesia

6:45, the simple idea for this is INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION. It's literally in there for nada, and they could have that be a part of management. Making it similar to club coaches who give boosts/decreased stats to overall depending on how they're playing and their reputation is at that point.

I really miss Fifa 98 for that...🥺

If they increase the amount of information and record keeping (a list of league/club records, previous season stats, previous award/trophy winners, player history,etc) then it would be a lot more immersive 9:12

Many of the issues you speak about and claim to exist in Football Manager do not exist. In theory, every national team is managable. Want to lead Papua New-Guinea, Iraq, Somalia, or San Marino to a world cup win? Sure, no problem (especially if you download their domestic league from the workshop). Not only are all international tournaments available, including every continental championship, and various minor international competitions like the Nations League or the regional Asian competitions, but even youth international tournaments like the Olympics or U20 World Cup. You talked about the issues with squad selection - well in FM, you have to scout extensively to find new players to add to your national pool, and dont even have those 1-99 rating, bringing quite more realism and excitement, and will have times/seasons where they perform better or worse (with you being able to not only see appearences, goals and assists, but also more detailed info like kms run per match, xG, Pass Accuracy etc., with aspects like match sharpness (i.e., if they play regularly on the club level) also playing a role. In Football Manager, some countries do have their own "Footballing cultures", as you call them - specific styles or formations that AI managers will prefer to use. Certain players will also perform better on the international stage, with a hidden attribute for "Important Matches" existing. While I am unsure what exactly you mean by implementing pressure, press conferences do exist in FM, and while they are famously repetetive, your answers can impact performances. So whilst FMs international management can certainly be improved, comparing it to what FIFA calls international management is ridiculous and shows your lack of knowledge on the game.

do you get less club offers when you leave international offers on? just played thru one season and didnt receive an offer from another club but i got like 4 international offers

Can you do the journey recration challenge on fc 25 player carrer mode next here’s the challenge. Create a player named Alex Hunter Bday:July 6th Make him as young as possible Nationality:English Height:5’11ft Position:LW,RW,CAM or ST Complexion:Dark Eyes:Brown Haircut:Whatever you want Kit :Whatever you want Boots:Adidas black or white Kit Number:29 Kit Name A.Hunter. Year 1:Join a Premier Leauge Team.Either During the pre season tour, UEL or UECL play against Real Madrid,PSG And Dortmunt. Win the pre season tour,UEL OR UECL. Play for the club for 6 months as a substitute.Then during the January transfer window go on loan to either Newcastle,Aston Villa or Norwich in the Championship.Then win promotion with the team you joined on loan.After coming back from loan have Harry Kane join your team and be your strike partner and win the Premier Leauge and FA Cup against your team rival. Year 2:Win the pre season tour and play for the team until the January transfer window.Then accept a transfer offer from LA Galaxy on deadline day and Win the MLS with them.During the summer transfer window accept a transfer offer from either PSG,Bayern or Atletico Madrid have your strike partner be either Antoine Griezmann,Thomas Muller Or Dele Alli. Win the Leauge and the Cup with the team you choose to save the manager from being sacked. Year 3:During the summer transfer window accept a transfer from either your original prem team or Real Madrid. Win every trophie you can with the team you choose including UCL.Retire after the UCL Final. It will be a fun challenge.

Licenses in football make football games really difficult to pull off. It's a bummer to play efootball and watch half of the players with solid colors on their jerseys because they havent paid licenses

I wouldn’t care if they had unlicensed national teams so long as they actually had all the countries and tournaments. FC 25 is so bare when it comes to national teams and tournaments. I shut off the option for international offers on my latest career mode because like what’s the point?

Hey man, I was wondering which sliders you are using in your career modes. Are you using the simulation sliders or custom ones?

PES in my opinion,had good national teams,but they didnt have licensed teams stadiums and competitions,but still F.E. PES had 81 national teams

Just need another World Cup game. I don't see EA taking the time to put in basically a whole extra sub game inside career mode. Or even just making a separate career mode for international management. And ofc that World Cup game needs ALL the teams. Or at least most of them. And ALL the major international tournaments should be added plus World Cup qualifying.

I don't think they even need to register the licenses just do what they do with Milan and Inter this year.

No more india in international career mode?😮 Do you see Qatar being removed next FC 26?😅

Absolutely love international management on any game tbh, watching it go so backwards is sad

Is it possible to change traning settings in career mode?

If they have only a few they can at least make retro world cup Like when there were only 16 or 24 teams

I sign national team contracts just to see if they have wonderkids

we need back Euro and World Cup dedicated games

4:40 it's actually 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2024

Fifa 23 still showing why it’s the GOAT kinda….

Is it possible to change my development yuth from normal to fast?

To be honest i liked the National team system in fm . It was much much better than in ffia you could actually start players the media would yell at you for not calling up a player or calling up a player that dosent play or is not good enough in their opinion. Of course it wasnt perfect but i thought it was really really good such a shame that they are removimg it

EA should be embarassed by what they've done to their game.

They just need to add as many national teams as they can dosent matter about the big teams I rather have 20 new countries then Brazil back

First step is definitely to have like 100 teams

100% EA will remove it first for FC26 Then for FC 30 or something they'll bring it back as a "new feature"

Because is it?

We have an unlicensed World Cup, why we don’t get all national teams unlicensed ?! It would be ok for me, I only want to have the chance to use them and want to play good competitions!

Pes 2021 has a pretty good international management mode imo

Dybala at left cb is crazy😂

So FC25 has even fewer national teams than FC24?

Try football manager you’ll enjoy it more

Tell us how to make it fun

I just play a french team and i reconstruct the international team with french youth stars lol...

Guys I'll say this once if you want to manage Internationally your best option is efootball

We need the Arab scriptwriters from wc in FIFA

That's why I'm making an fc25 mod for it 😉

And EA literally have the licenses for the Euros and Nations league but they decide not to add the nations league and the euros arent even real on carear mode while ea have the licence for the trophy and etc

Try soccer champs, its fun

Hell Even football fricking manager neglected national teams, now it's worse than ever but well... Another story

first

I hate international football not just in fifa or fc
