One of the reasons why some FC 25 Coins believe the series' career mode has become less engaging in recent years is due to the removal of performance-based rating progression. In past FIFA games, a player's rating would adjust based on their performances, so if a goalkeeper kept numerous clean sheets or a striker had a fantastic goalscoring season, their ratings would increase accordingly. In modern games, however, player progression is largely pre-determined. The players' performances now have very little impact on their ratings, and gamers just need to look online to see what their players' FC 25 Ultimate Teamure ratings are.
This is disappointing for many people, as improving player ratings through performances is rewarding and lets gamers build a successful team around their favorite players, while the prospect of having players' ratings drop after spending too long on the bench meant that gamers had to think carefully about leaving unwanted players on the sidelines for too long. Considering that this feature was previously in the series, it presumably wouldn't be too tricky to get it back.
Following on from the previous point, bringing back performance-based ratings could create an interesting opportunity for youth teams. FC 25 currently keeps its youth development system very simple, as managers assign scouts to countries of their choice and sign players to their youth team, which is little more than a menu where managers just sit and wait to see if their talented youngsters reach a high level or not.
Instead, it would be great if the series introduced playable youth teams. Not only would this give gamers the chance to get a feel for their prospects and whether they would be a good fit tactically, but it would also let them work on improving certain player ratings if the aforementioned performance-based progression feature came into effect. Even if it doesn't, however, it would still be great to try youth EA Sports FC Coins players before signing them to the first team.
