If I had a chance I'd like an ordinary football game, much like FIFA, with the only exception that you're playing one person only, you're steering yourself to fame
. Before starting a game you name your player and set height/weight etc, dish out stats - lets say you got around (slightly randomised) 100pts to spread out on your current CM-like stats and to spend on developement potential in each ability). You start the game as a 15-year old prospect without a club, you recieve invitations from a couple of clubs to come and train with them and perhaps get a contract if you impress them in an internal friendlymatch. The contracts would be just like in CM just that you're now on the other side of the table - you're the player that wants the best possible contract.
Depending on your stats your coach will decide where/if to play you, perhaps you'll end up like a goalkeeper, perhaps as a striker, perhaps on the bench, you're in your coach's hands. It's your job to make the best out of the situation when you control your player in the match. Over the years you try to take yourself through the ranks and perhaps one day get a chance in your national team. Maybe you'll go all the way and play for Juve
What to train would be a mixture of your wishings and your coach's. When you get older your stats slowly degrade and when you decide to hang up your boots you will end up on a hall of fame, much similar to the one in CM with a final verdict on your career, perhaps, if your lucky, you will be up there with the likes of Zidane, Maradona, Platini etc
I think perhaps the depth of CM (teams, players, training etc) mixed with Fifa's match gameplay (with the exception of always stearing just one player and with a slightly centralised overview of your player in particular) would make this game very, very interesting
