It would be best for the game to be delayed to March 2022 to include the Winter transfer window and by the effects of how this season will end should be clear.
They could also use the extra months to sort out many problems in the 2020 version, it is the most frustrating version of FM I have played and unless major changes are made I won't be spending more on 2021.
In no particular order, things i'd like to see improved:
A lot of problems with junk or irrelevant emails could be fixed by asking you at the start when you set the game up if you want to be a 'hands on' manager, do you like to see financial news, do you prefer to get involved with your young players etc options could be 'greyed out' depending on who you are choosing to manage, such as you can't be hands off at a small club. I'm tired of the game interrupting just to tell me my U23 team has won £10k in the Leasing.com trophy! yes you can sit in menus and turn things of but its not obvious or easy.
They can ditch the 'fake Twitter' hashtag 'hope we can get him' from some computer generated profile adds little to the action.
The 'shouts' have long been a joke, 'get creative' is like a Churchill speech and rouses your players, but giving them 'praise' makes them down tools. This hasn't changed for about a decade. Criticising or praising training is repetitive, if you criticise the players go 'ok boss, ill sort my self out' praise and they say 'thanks boss' whats the point?
the game seems biased against older players more than ever in this version, they hit 32/33 and then become slow and useless. In reality the top players adapt their game and position and can still play top level, see Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan, Vardy for real life examples.
The match engine seems to flick into two modes, serious or cartoon and you can tell early on in a game which one it will be. Average players start running about like Maradona at Mexico 86 while your good and consistent goalkeeper just stands there and watches them run from the halfway line and bang them in. In reality at a top level these crazy games happen one or twice a season. On FM 2020 you get about 1 a month!
I don't want to see just a shiny new skin for 2021 there are a growing list of things to fix.
