jordan.schumacher Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi guys, Just have a suggestion to make the game realistic in the National League. Would it be possible to add a geographical limitation for players in the National League particularly the North/South leagues. What I mean by this is that these footballers don't always earn enough to get by and sometimes have a second "normal" job. They have more family commitments and a better local understanding and pride. Premier League footballer can up sticks and relocate anytime. A National League player in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear wouldn't be interested in moving all the way to Dover, Kent for an extra £200 a week. He would either move to club that's closer or ask for a better contract. When you are in those leagues the "working" aspect of life is more apparent. There have even been cases whereby a player at 30 now decides to be a plumber because he can't get a better contract, isn't talented enough to be wanted by another club and genuinely has to look out for his future. Another example is injuries, many players also choose to quit a club if they are injured for too long because of work commitments. You can't be off sick as a part time builder with a skull fracture or a complicated leg fracture which occurred during a National League game. It would be nice to see a section in the negotiations or enquiry that says something like: "Player is not interested in clubs more than 80miles away." "Player can only afford to be based in Vanarama South." Players are ok to travel to the north/south of the country for away games or if promoted to the conference premier but as a permanent residence/change of clubs it's a much bigger commitment. Just thought it might make things more realistic. I'm open to discuss or read constructive criticisms! thanks 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millz53 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 SI tend not to involve football with other aspects of life. I think it's a great idea because it is more realistic, but SI want to focus on the footballing aspect. As I said I agree it would be a great addition as it is what really happens in the lower leagues of football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
