Things that it would be easy to introduce and would really only require a tweak here or there to the script. Then there's huge swaths of story that are superior to what we got in anime. Hikaru's retirement from blading in the manga is an excellent peice of character work excluded from the anime. So much wasted potential.
It’s quite simple, the anime is meant for promoting the beys whereas the manga is meant to be a story.
A good story can still be told while promoting the beys. Season 1 & 2 are an excellent example of that. In addition adapting the manga more closely wouldn't interfere with that.
