It would be cool to be able to pick teams like in school. Like there are 30 players and you take turns to choose then play.
The fact the goalkeeper only comes to collect a lose ball when he going to get it.so if ur in a 50-50 with one ull always lose out.Penos-Aim corner do near full power keeper will never say it..unrealistic..Same as others have said bout the final at netural stadiums…….see subs runnin by each other when coming off/on..subs warming up…see manager/ref/linesmen maybe randomly ref gets injured 4th offical has to come on{bit to much i suppose],..oh the CL matchs need to be at night to!!!!
Be able to manage international teams
Recieve new contracts from other teams midway into the season in manager mode.
Free transfers on PS2.
Better Fan responce
More indept commentry.
Have a live animated show after the match, A MOTD style thing.
Goal of the month.
Watch the best bits of your season.
who are the important people in sports?
the players? the managers? the chairmen? the administrators? NO, the most important are the FANS.
because without them there would be no such thing as professional sports.
ROGER LEOPOLD is my name, owner of a registered trademark, which we know has a public appeal
with a GLOBAL REACH .
The name of the trademark is ” TUFSU” which means ( Thank ‘U’ For Supporting Us.)
The meaning is self-explanayory and can be easily Promoted or Marketed as an emblem
or trademark and illustrates the appreciation the organization and its subsidiaries place on
continued loyal support. “TUFSU” as a brand name can be used in the promotion of any sport
attracting all age groups . The phonetics of the name in itself emanates strength and the acronym
itself suggests unity, both key elements for Champions . Athletes are usually conscious of the
invaluable role FANS play in achieving success and prosperity. It can easily be argued that FANS
the world over, are the most passionate of any sport, and it is this infectious passion that the true athlete
feeds on. However, athletes are rarely provided with the opportunity to communicate this sentiment
to their FANS.’TUFSU’ trademark, perhaps worn on the sleeves of players, provides an option for the
athlete to express GRATITUDE to FANS.
Understandably, it may be argued that the Non-English speaking consumer may not appreciate
the language used to form the acronym. However, ‘TUFSU’ is simple and short ( ONLY TOW SYLLABLES). Therefore, it is likely to be comfortable to pronounce by most tongues. Additionally,
it doesn’t even sound very “English”, which may enhance its international appeal.
Thank you for your attention and i look forward to your favorable response.

TRINIDAD W.I.
Fifa 07 on the PS2 had so much depth. The youth players coming through was fantastic, as was international selections robbing you of you’re players and risking them getting injured. More emphasis needs to be on AI transfers to keep the game varied, i find myself playing against virtually the same sides in the premiership 6 or 7 years down the line. Pre-season friendlies are always good, also the injuries need to last longer, i can’t remember having a player out for more than a couple of games. We need to have people out for 3 or 4 months now and then so you have to adapt your squad like a real manager. Also the ease at which you can tackle somebody is appalling. Its set up so if you use a skill, you may get past but if you’re just trying to outrun somebody, you will never succeed. Another nice touch would be a simpler way of selecting between vollies and headers so you can choose to either go for a safe nod or a spectacular over the head kick. Many thanks
i want a longer fifa 09 DEMO!!
another thing i find frusrating is when a player recives a cross to his foot and you press shoot the player always controls it then shoot. this is frustrating cause i’ve missed so many chances because of this and it gives the goalkeeper time to recive the ball but in real live when a player recives the ball on his foot he would take a shoot straight away only if his infrony of goal. i would like to see better hairstyles cause to many player look the same and it is irritating!
Conference Teams
You should be able to do manager with national teams and play in different tournaments and qualifiers. You should be able to pick your squad and make friendlies and stuff
please do this!!!!!
1 Match of the day after the game
2 mascots come on the pitch and have pictures with the captain
3. Diving
4. improve the crowd
5. all the offical premiership teams stadiums and some from the championship
6. refree and linesman in the game
7. conference teams eg havant and waterloville/ Burton
8. Medical staff on the pitch when player injured
9. Better Comentrey
10 Champions league tune
11 YOU CAN SEE THE MANAGER IN MANAGER MODE WHEN A PLAYER SCORES
12 YOU CAN MANAGE ENGLAND ON MANAGER MODE PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ
After winning important leagues the celebrations should be fully blown – its all about making your capain as real as possible. comentators should state who the player of the match is. seeing as the world cup is coming to my country, SA, how about the premier soccer league, if not then an African league- we are also fans hey.
after each game, give a multiple choice Q, and if the answer is correct, point should be allocated and players from your OWN created league can be unlocked till the point where we are able to play in it- FIFA league maybe. reguards
More stadiums! Delete Estadio De las Artes stadium…. oh god please!
Rain and snow an wintertime… ex: England cold an raining – Spain warm & sunshine
In manager mode – build our own stadium like in Fifa Manager….
Thank you!
Please consider the following points for fifa 09:
1. When you get to a cup final in the english leagues it should be played at Wembley not your home ground.
2. More weather conditions – rain, snow, wind
3. Better use of the crowds – i.e make them jump and wave when someone scores not just sit as static pictures
4. When you scored a goal in Fifa 07, especially at home, the sound was fantastic – almost deafening – Fifa 08 not as good in that department
5. ALL Champions league games and some league games to be played at night – not always during the day. Again the final of the champions league should be played at a neutral ground not whoever is at home.
6. Easier ability to drive low shots into the corners – typically most shots all go off the ground from medium to long range.
7. Referee and linesman to be on the pitch
8. Sort out the penalty taking glitch – once you power up you can’t change your direction meaning the goalie moves to that direction before youve even taken it – not realistic.
9. More stadiums – should at least have every premiership stadium
Im really enjoying this game – for me one fo the best Fifa’s ever which is rich coming from a pro fan. Pro is terrible this year and i feel if you made the changes above you’ll beat them again.
i jsut want too ask when you make the classic 11 squad maybe in fifa 09 you can put brazils pele and argentinas maradonna and a few more english like gary lineker because players like that are amazing and deserve to be in the game
they should add all the chants and please add san nicola stadium in bari

when the goalkeeper comes out to collect the ball allow for quick kick out to set up counter attack, the keeper always tend to go to ground with the ball and waste time alowing the opposition to track back and defend in numbers. also make strikers more aware when inside the penalty area cause if a wing player makes a run down the flank the central attackers will run along and the just stop running when they get to the penalty area, by the time that the cross is delivered into the area there’s just one attacker in the box who has to challenge about 4 or 5 defenders… not very realistic either. allow players also to make off the ball runs when releasing the ball in order to create link up play with another player, like playing the ball 1 2. another thing, why does the opposition get freekicks so easily but sometimes when they foul you it’s nothing, not even a sign of advantage play? that’s all for now
also… in the edit player section, in addition to ankle tape, have the option of shin-high tape or white socks over dark socks similar to what cristiano ronaldo, Torres, and Quaresma do with their socks
things for fifa 09…if any of you guys could copy and paste this in the fifa 09 ideas and suggestions, that would be great because i cant seem to be able to make and account….
1) I’d like to see the game more like a tv broadcast, with occasional zooms on the player dribbling the ball, etc.
2) More of an authentic game, for instance, in english stadiums, create a weather option typical to the overcast, cloduy weather that is seen at most british venues
3) create a rolled up sleeve option in the sleeve length selection in the creation zone (i.e Cristiano ronaldo)
4) More small fouls, (i.e. light shirt tugging, subtle pushes/trips, and incidental handballs)
5) The curling early long balls played into the box that you see in the english game
6) smoother dribbling system- make it easier to cut left and right, and to do step overs etc. i find the new system to be very choppy and hard to execute
7) more realistic shot movement, more predictable curve
8) low shots and ground shots in order to beat the keeper in tough angle situations
9) less defensive pressure in the defensive third by the cpu, especially after the keeper makes a save, give him enough time to set the ball down and step back to make a long kick
10) more realistic penalty kicks-make the run-up more realistic with sudden slowdowns (i.e. ronaldo, berbatov, etc.)
and be able to put it to the extreme corners of the net;in 08 you can only beat the keeper by putting it a couple feet to either side
11) LESS CROSSBAR-BOUND SHOTS!!! ITS UNREALISTIC!!!!!
12) In the sleeves section of the creation zone, create a long-sleeve undershirt option under the jersey (i.e. Mikel, Essien, Wright-Phillips, Rooney )
13) Have The broadcast by a licensed network (i.e. Setanta or sky sports for english matches, and different channels for different country’s leagues
14) when selecting kits for the match, have the ability to customize which change shorts and socks the squad wears (i.e. Chelsea’s black change socks for their yellow kit, Man U’s white shorts and socks that they often wear with their red kits)
also wen there is an advantage played after a foul and it looks like a player is about to lose the ball nd have it intercepted, let the game go on even he looks like losin the ball dnt let the ref blow the whistle unless u’ve totally lost the ball!
improve the crowd reactions and atmosphere in the stadium, like when someone score a goal you see the crowd jump and cheering and then sing club or natnoinal anthems like in real life. also when there is a penaltyu shoot out and you win the crowd and the whole squad come and celebrate with yiu and things like that and make the keepers more smater and responive cause when player on 08 hits the lightes header which in real live a keeper would safe, why doe the keeper just dive over the header and let it go in and they put no effort in. also dont make akeeper always be able to save freekick make it more exciniting to take a freekick!
as a city fan where is the city of manchester stadium
plllllllllllllllllllllllllllease could we have the russian leauge
Harsher punishments for intentional fouls during one on one situations. Also punishments for people who quit games early.
please make players actually shoot, pass the second you command them to, it’s as if they hesitate too much.
as a scottish football fan, where’s hampden park, ibrox stadium, celtic park, rugby park, easter road, tynecastle, fir park, tannadice, pittordrie, etc ?
why’s there no division 1, 2 and 3 for scotland? would like to see the CIS cup get included too.
in fifa 09 PLEASE sort out the non existing run into space support from teammates when you have the ball
please scrap that rubbish FIWC stadium, i can hardly see the ball properly at times because it turns to silver and that wouldn’t happen in real football
why not introduce the african nations teams in.?
i mean plenty of the players in the ivory coast and ghana and cameroon play for the big clubs in fifa.
they shud defo be on international.
im from scotland and i think that it should have aleast ibrox,parkhead
fans should be better and the commenteror dose not sound if he is interrested in the game
def need weather change.why unlock all weather balls and stuff when the weather never changes?? also the grounds need doing so atleast all prem teams have there own ground on..and make it so u cant keep going to yards out and tapping the ball in under the goalie as u score every time..unreastic.make fans look better as well as the so lesser players as they look nothing like who supposed to be..maybe streaker now and again or bit of crowd activity.get some proper passion in the game.
u shoud make greeland playabel i no that i just said that but i never seen them play
i think greenland should be veturd in fifa
i think that u would make fifa beter if u can make your on team with the badeg on the strip and n the SPL should be aloud to relaget teams so u never get bord of the team that all rey bean relageted
I think that Create a Team should come back, I jut love creating teams. I Create a Team called the Can-Am Allstars, which have the best Canadian and American Soccer Stars.
I think that Create a Team should come back, I jut love creating teams.
Im from scotland and its really frustrating when ur in manager mode in FIFA 08 and no one gets relegated from the spl, fifa needs to introduce the scottish divisions 1,2 and 3 and also make the stadiums for most of the premier divisions in easch country or at least the biggest ones like in the spl
they should have at least celtic park, ibrox, rugby park and the new versions of easter road stadium and tyncastle.
A few points:
1) More weather should be introduced, or maybe you could unlock things like rain and snow in the fan shop. My friend who has the game on PS2 says he gets all the weather, whereas on Xbox 360 there is only day and dusk. As if your going to have a bright sunny day in the middle of november.
2) Fans should have more songs, and be more realistic. Maybe they can introduce a feature so if an ex player goes back to his old club, eg Thierry Henry plays for Barca at Arsenal, the fans can cheer or boo him.
3) This is more personal, but I would prefer it if ‘made up’ players, who have maybe come through a scout, had an actual face, not just some shadow of a head.
the players on my fifa 08 just started moving faster one day. does anyone know how to restore this setting or is the problem on my telly. its just annoying me. the players move too fast. can someone post a reply comment with a solution please??
iv had fifa 08 on ps3 now sicce christmas and when i got it the players moved around on the pitch well and the game looked great but then one day the players just started moving faster on the pitch. not like ultra speed but a good deal faster and then the game didnt really look that good anymore. funny thing is though when i took it to my nextdoor neighbour he put it in and the players moved ok again. is there a setting i can change or is it on my telly??? if anyone knows can they post a reply message please
hi guys congratulations on making a football game that really spits on pro evo! anyway, before the game came out i had heard that in be a pro mode you could live yor players season, nothing over the top like going out to town and going through fianaces, just stuff like training, and press confrences.Also for be a pro mode there should ba an “create a player” and u should have to train him up, u could use the same kind of system as madden 08 does, (u know the sprinting and stuff). also for manager mode i recently got a email saying something about the international team! i dont know if u can actually manage the international squad in the present game, but if you cant you should make it available, but only after you have a high prestige after about 5 managing seasons, thankyou for your time,

I have a few ideas which i hope can help improve the game Fifa. First of all i think that the fans should be more realistsic e.g graphics, singing chants, and wearing supporting kits. Secondly i think that we should have the option for the players to warm-up on the sidelines before they come on. I also think that we should be able to make a stadium choosing colours, shapes, sizes etc. My main last point is that we should have an addition to the game called the “Fifa footballers life”. Which includes you controling a player taking in account; money, fixtures, family, training, cars, personal life etc. I hope you take intrest and feel free to contact me
Many thanks
Josh and Djan
mshow players drinking water every time the game is stoppted
This one is easy. When I play as Juventus or Udinese and my jersey is white and black stripes, it looks mostly white from far away. Why in God’s name are they black on the radar?! PLEASE fix.
I was thinking and i think the next fifa should be better than 08. It should have unlockables such as legendary players and stadiums . Some players like maradona , pele , and many others. I hope you read this
I think you need to improve on the goal celebrations and having custom goal celebrations. Also you need to get exact personality of ronaldo because he now has an afro and in the game he doesnt have hair. Need different camera angles in the game. play national athems for the international teams and have more international teams. the replay in fifa 08 is poor because you try to zoom in and it changes the player. You need to have the players do more tricks because ronaldinho does more than he does in the game. and need improving in the practice sessions.
one thing that realy aggrevates me about fifa is that… i have had the game a few months and ALLREADY the commentary becomes extremley repetitive, and boring! ALSO the commentary is starting to mess up for E.G… the opposition takes a shot and it goes very wide…. commentry would say…”ooh that was an awesome save” WTFFF it happens quite regulary now, and always does on my fifa games!
i think this should be improved in fifa 09!!
but alltogether i think that fifa 08 is a big improvment, and still a great game!!
i reckon transfers should be improved! it is so easy to sign any player you want! i think the cpu should get more involved in the transfers! i think you should be able to battle it out with the computer and that you can do a trade transfer and make it more negotable!
FANS NEED TO CLEBRATE MORE
i think on of the major issues on fifa is the fans, compared to pro they are poor . fifa fans are all the same colour the away fans are the same colour are the away fans this is not life like. there should be police lines and no mans land where home&away fans sit. the fans on fifa just wave there arms they dont stand up. aso flags are poor they are dead sraight and boring . there is no huge flags like in the crowd being waved. also there is no ref in the game . the stadiums are poor for every league there are about 3 or 4 real stadiums which when u play the crap teams like derby you play in really boring stadiums called ‘open square style’ which bores me to deat i end up quick siming it and playing in the big games. also old tafford needs updating on fifa it since bin remodeled in 2007 it seems u culdnt be bothered to change it. more club songs need to be introduced . i think every club should be unique have it own stadium colour fans flags playin style etc. also when u play in prem every time u play the stadium is full tis is not real enough not all the stadiums are full you no. id like to see a few classic teams like england classic bobby charlton imagine winning the world cup lol. also players need to look diffrent from eachother lke the same hair cut .more 3rd kits and ‘ecc’ should be called champions league . boots need to be improved there all the same them boring all black ones with a messy white pattern on them . also bplayers need to make mistakes more . i no none of these things will happen but i wish they would .fifa may argue we havent gt time an money but say take 2 years to make the next fifa miss a year and concentrate on fifa 10 the ultimate game with everyones ideas . if they done that i thnk it couldchallnge pro coz lets face it pros betta end of game play ………..etc graphics. FIFA NEED TO BUCK THEIR IDEAS UP
