I need to agree with Ludo_Mansio. This feature is very important as we always enter to support our FA friends during the normal matches, especially important matches, finals, etc. And very often our advice regarding tactics, counter-formation or orders during the match helps us make crazy comebacks and win the matches that were almost lost. So I really can't understand why this chat feature bothered someone or was some kind of problem to be removed. Just believe me - the game has hundreds of really useless features that are not removed for years (ass manager, height and foot of players, now friendly matches, etc) but why you take away smth that was used and was working perfectly
