Fifa 07 manager mode limitation! Exposed!

Just found out one big limitation of Fifa 07 manager mode. The limitation that I have just exposed a few hours ago is that we can only play the game for 15 seasons before we are terminated automatically (Retired by force).

I think this is due to a technical limitation of the game. Unlike, FM 2007, which constantly regenerating new players every now and then, Fifa 07 lacks this ability and it cannot be doubted that Sports Interactive (the company which created FM) tops this feature, just like Konami (The company responsible for Winning Eleven) tops gameplay. By looking at this, maybe we start to think that EA Sports is now at the bottom of the league table.... But it's alright. It's much easier to win things in Fifa 07 manager mode compared to FM 2007 where you have to change your tactic every now and then to suit the needs and according to who your opponents are.In Fifa 07, you can use one particular tactic to win any match.

To enjoy Fifa 07 with all its limitations to the max, all we could do is to keep moving on. This is why Fifa 07 implements a feature whereby we have an option to leave our current club and takeover other clubs elsewhere. A clever way to compensate for the limitations. A recommended way by me is to limit yourself to two years in one club. (For the first club you are managing, stay there for three years at least to gain prestige for yourself).

An alternative way to enjoy the game at its fullest is to manage a very small team in the game, and build that team from an obscure team into a world class team. 15 seasons should suffice if you are really serious about it and that you are, well, skillful.

That's all for now. Will update again once I have found out more about Fifa 07 manager mode.
