Hopefully the reviews have just skipped over them&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Diving<\/h4>\n<p>The only thing worse than diving in football is sinking your teeth into one of your opponents (which is why everyone loves Luis Suarez). It certainly shouldn\u2019t be encouraged by a video game.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230;well, there\u2019s no skipping around it: diving is very, very funny. There\u2019s nothing funnier than watching grown men throw themselves to the ground screaming as if they\u2019ve just been kicked in the back by a grizzly bear in Doc Martens.

It\u2019s great fun, but as we all know, a player\u2019s career doesn\u2019t end on the football pitch\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to be able to control every aspect of our player\u2019s life, from avoiding the paparazzi after a heavy night out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2011\/oct\/22\/mario-balotelli-house-fire-fireworks\">holding an impromptu fireworks display in the bathroom of our ridiculously-sized mansion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Be a referee<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/192.168.3.177\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/referee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1994\" alt=\"referee\" src=\"https:\/\/192.168.3.177\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/referee.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/referee.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/referee-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>FIFA<\/i> has let us control entire teams, individual players and even goalkeepers in the past. But what about that poor man in the middle, the referee?<\/p>\n<p>Be A Referee mode would take you through the dizzying highs (sending off Cristiano Ronaldo in the World Cup Final) and the crushing lows (being called rude names by fans and the tabloids) of referreeing. You\u2019d be given complete freedom to referee how you see fit, so you could send everyone off if you wanted.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of your career, you win&#8230;well, nothing. Referee\u2019s don\u2019t get prizes for their hard work. They\u2019re the heroes we don\u2019t recognise, but the heroes we\u2019d be unable to live without &#8211; a bit like Batman if he beat baddies with coloured cards instead of his fists.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>No chemistry in Ultimate Team<\/h4>\n<p>This is a bit of a controversial choice, because Ultimate Team\u2019s chemistry feature forces players to get creative when creating their squads. But we\u2019d really, really like to put together a team with the world\u2019s best players without being hampered by poor chemistry. Please make it so, EA Sports, even if it\u2019s just for a day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What features would you like to see in FIFA 15?
