just a few things
1. non-league teams
2. celebrations at the end of a cup final – see them lift the cup, with fireworks etc.
3. refs make mistakes
4. fights between players during and after the game
5. players leave the club after a fight with the manager
6. game gets postponed after bad weather – snow, rain, hail etc.
Fifa 08 should have a feature that you controll the player like
in Madden 07 that would be hot!!!
Also it should have more leagues
just a few minor things:
1. when the match is starting the line ups should not diappear before you can read them. You sould get at leats ebough time to see whose playing.
2. involve holland for internationals.
3.the commentary should carry on after you av scored cos they say 1 thing n then stop talkin.
4. if sum1 is playin really poor/great through the WHOLE GAME, the commentators should pick up on it an suggest stuff rather than say it if they make 1 mistake or do 1 good thing like beat a player.
5. the goaly could organise his defence before a corner.
6. have a mini game of heads & vols (maybe u have to unlock it in the fan shop)
7. have the referee book players for diving.
8.give the attackers more chance of scorin from a header in the box.
9.mascots on the sidelines? :) (or not)
10. more international teams.
11. better practise modes and maybe even go into the gym for weights trainin.
12. the chance to fine players for red cards or bans.
13.dodgy offside decisions
14. linesman and referee discuss decisions
15. referee asks the captain to come over to warn his team of too much fouling. etc
In FIFA 08 Crowds should be louder than other teams and sing varieties of songs e.g if liverpool fc play at night the crowd should be louder than say wigan and sing ‘poor scouser tommy’ and ‘fields of anfield road’. The more popular leagues should have every players face made to look like the actual player. Th e sponsor badges for adidas should be made clearer not blurry. A variety of injuries is needed for example broken metatarsel or fracture to tibia. In manager mode a player should be able to manage a country. CPU defenders must be more on their toes like the actual players eg John Terry good on stopping crosses, Jamie Carragher goood on balls over the top. Player shirts should move when player is in motion like in virtua tennis 3 on ps3. CPU should do better on counter attacks . Managers reactions should be seen at pitchside like wenger but should be able to set which managers in case one leaves. When players keep flying in to tackles and crowd gets angry, on the odd occasion a fight should start ( better than a little shove )or something is thrown from the crowd. Motion sensing on PS3 must be used effectively like lift pad up to leap over a challenge. CPU tactics must be used beter for examples the left and right backs should get tight to wingers. Users should be able to change players hair eg Dirk Kuyt on PS2 FIFA 07. Brazil should be better. Pre match formations must be made like Pro Evos and allow players to move into varied positions. The fans should do more instead of moving up and down eg liverpool fc should pass banner around before a match and sing ‘You’ll never walk alone’. Fans should be seen getting up from their seats eg when there is a chance or going to the toilet or to get a drink. Training should be added in manager mode. Christiano Ronaldo should take the fun out of people with skill and show how much of an excellent diver he is. Players should look angry when they lose. There should be an all star 11 to play with real stars eg Kenny Dalglish instead of Rudi Voller and Marco Van Basten instead of Eric Cantona. A europe 11 should be made along with premiership legends. Keepers should strike ball better out of box and some times miss it eg Paul Robinson. More stadiums should be added eg all major european leagues. Referee should be seen with linesmen and the whistle should be heard. Ronaldinho should be better. There should be an option in training to have no opposition keeper like on fifa 99. Reserves or youth teams of big teams should be added. More legendary goals should be added. Commentators must go over the top and say memorable phrases like ‘ take a bow’(Andy Gray) and’ What a hit son’ What a hit’( Andy Gray). Clips of old post match comments should be added in relevant situation and language. When a cross is put in and hit on volley good players should hit it like Zinedine Zidane in UEFA Champions League Final in 2002 against Bayer Leverkusen.
I have a few suggestions:
1. Make it possible for fans to upload audio clips with chants, and after some kind of validation process the chants could be loaded into the game.
2. Make it possible to load own MP3s into the game menu.
3. Make it possible to listen to self choosen audio streams in the game menu.
4. Remove the relation between the language and the user profile. Right now it is not possible to load a profile in another language.
5. Make it possible to manage your players transfer settings without beeing in a transfer period.
6. Make replays of game events that didn’t end in a stop of the play. Shown theese replays next time the game stops.
You should add Central Amercia soccer teams like El Salvador,Honduras and Guatemala.Also you should put more and different kind of soccer shoes like adidas,Puma and Nike shoes don’t put EA soccer soccer like in 07 . And if you do all that more latino people whould buy Fifa 08 game why because Central Amercia teams would be in the game. Think you for reading my comments
I think you should put the Argentinian league because ther is a lot of good players and also you should put the clubs world cup and youshould put like when you are an inportant club like Real Madrid you can take out people from the second team and When you are buying the players they can cost what they cost right know and also when a player is playing good they can have good expactations to grow beter depending in how they are playing even if there are in a avarege of 67 they can have the chance to go to the 90 and be as that good but only when they are playing good but dont put that if they play good one game thre going to grow to 90 it should take months or even years and also what you should do is to put a new version of the UEFA champions league also put new commentarist that that dont talk the same each time and make the harder because it gets boring when you always win by 10 to 0 i want to have a lot of pressure and also put like when someone makes a goal we can see the coach celabrating the people from the bench and when you want to put a sub they can go warmup on a side and the called them to go inside and when you want toedit some body you can edit how many you want than you for listening an i hope this ideas can help you and please put them.
i thinck that fifa 07 was a great turning point for fifa from the old fifa games but i waiting fot futher improvments like:
1.most important thing put the best of the best like z.zidane and maldini because he is retiring this season and also beckham world xi or the classic xi teams and colina referee
2.i like the create your team option but it would be nicer if i can bring it to network and online gaming
3.please and please and please try to put the edit position for players in formation setting like winning eleven becsause it’s very very very cool like making your own formation
4.for the contest made at the sweetpatch site it would be nice if an option is added in the replays to auto upload or auto form an avi movie of the replays saved in a folder named sweetpatch in the fifa folder in my documents
5.for the career manager try to put some famous managers like scolari and ancelotti as unlocks
6.try to bring the spanish liga in the season highlights
7.last idea as i’m egyptian i would like to see the egyptian league or at least the egyptian international team
I THINK IN FIFA 08 THERE SHOULD BE A PLAYER CAREER MODE AND YOUR USUAL MANAGER MODE WHERE YOU CONTROL THE WHOLE TEAM ON THE PITCH.BUT IN THE PLAYER CAREER MODE U ONLY CONTROL ON PLAYER ON THE CLUB YOU’VE CHOSEN TO PLAY WITH (BCOS SOMETIMES CONTROILLING THE 11 MEN ON THE PITCH CAN BE FRUSTRATING AND ITS DIFFICULT 2 GET THE BALL, AND U NORMALLY PLAY YOUR TEAMMATES OUT OF POSITION).UNLIKE 2 CONTROL 1 PLAYER THAT U SELECT 4 HIS 15 SEASON CAREER. AT THE BEGINNING U CAN CHOOSE 2 CREATE YOUR OWN PLAYER OR PLAY WITH 1 THAT IS EXISTING.IN THIS PLAYER CAREER U HAVE 2 BUILD UP YOUR REP AS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD AS WELL AS YOUR LEAGUE.U R FACED WITH CHALLENGES OF TRYING 2 GET TOP SPONSORS TO PAY YOUR SALARY AND BOUSES WHEN ACHIEVING THEIR OBJECTIVES,AND TRYING 2 WIN YOUR CLUBS FANS OVER WITH YOUR DAZZILING PERFORMANCE ON THE PITCH,U R ALSO FACED WITH THE PRESS THAT CRITICES YOUR ABILITY,PLAYER CONFLICTS WITH YOUR TEAMMATES AS WELL AS MAKING IT ONTO YOUR MANAGERS STARTING 11 FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY. WHEN YOUR PLAYER RETIRES AUTOMATICALLY HE CAN B REINCARNATED AND U JUST CONTINUE PLAYING WITH THE NEW VERSION OR U CAN JUST EDIT HIS AGE 2 A 16 YR OLD OR U HAVE THE OPTION 2 TURN DOWN RETIREMENT AND PLAY UNTIL 50.FINALLY WHEN IT COMES 2 THE ACTION ON THE FIELD U CONTROL YOURSELF ACCORDING 2 HOW U WANT 2 SHINE FROM THE REST OF YOUR TEAMMATES (WHO WILL OBVIOUSLY B CONTROLED WITH A .I. AND PLAYING ACCORDING 2 THE MANAGER ETC.) BY DRIBBLING, TACKLING, SUPPLYING THRU BALLS AND THE WORKS. I HOPE MY IDEA IS A BEGINNING OF NEW THINGS 2 COME IN FIFA 08.
on fifa 08 for the psp it would be good if u could make a player
..me again
I think it would be also great if they make International Teams u21
make brawls (fights) against rival clubs and cup finals
go on my site you can get free consoles
in fia 08, when you come to winterbreak, it should be so you can play in indoor arenas
I think you should show the managers on the game and show their faces when you score and concede goals.
Scorescene: Fick flacks. Salto´s .
Make it so you can se the referee from start to end of the game in the match.
Make more real boots. Some of the pros play in.
MAke an reserve team. And a Youth team.
That I would like to see in fifa 08:, more realistic players, feints make really not similar to the previous versions of games fifa!
Make it more difficult. In ‘Manager Mode’, in my first 5 seasons I was Prem champs, ECC Champs, FA Cup, etc.. I was only Harlepool Utd!!!!
What about managing international teams in Manager Mode
Make it harder, because in my first season on 07, which was on ‘World Class’ difficulty, in my first 5 seasons on Manager mode, I was the Prem, ECC, FA Cup,etc.
That was with Harlepool United!!!!!
- Make Real the champiomship Cup from the Mexican league
- Add more Mexican Stadums or south america stadium
Career- Manager
1. Main page should be set up like a club website homepage
2. Team news page. (View news headlines from around the league or news for your club
3. Include Marketing or Promotions under Office section
4. Receive revenue for jerseys and merchandise sales
5. Revenue determined on level of marketing
6. Have staff upgrades for a marketing manager
7. Choose team sponsor from official in game sponsors
8. Sponsor to appear on the teams jersey
9. Choose make of jersey (Nike, Adidas, Umbro, etc.) and choose style
10. Adidas will have different styles than Nike or Umbro
11. Jersey manufacturer to appear on jersey
12. Lower clubs negotiate with lesser sponsors and so on
13. When promoted from lower division to Premier League for example, the arm patch changes. Same for European matches
14. The ability to edit and view jerseys every season. A team won’t use the same jersey for 15 years.
15. Customize game kits. Ex: Red Jersey, White Shorts, Black Socks or Red Jersey, Black Shorts, Black Socks or White Jersey, White Shorts, Black Socks. So many possibilities
16. Stadium Editor- Ability to change name of stadium. Instead of UK division 3 style, name it “Superdome Stadium�
17. Instead of buying new stadiums, you add additions to your existing one to create more capacity. Add blocks of seats, luxury boxes, offices and levels. In turn you will increase your match revenue
18. Ability to select type of pitch and pay for pitch changes when needed
19. Ability to view the stadium: sort of a stadium fly around
20. Add sponsors to the sideline boards. Ex: team sponsors, other sponsors, promotions (custom created ads)
21. static boards for smaller stadiums and choice of static or scrolling for larger stadiums
22. Set ticket prices. Not just high and low, but determine the prices for each section
23. Ability to see what is happening in other leagues- For example, have a link called FIFA.com and from there the user can view all the leagues to see how each team is doing
24. Be able to see league leaders from other leagues
25. Player of the Month and Year Awards
26. Manager of the Month and Year Awards
27. Footballer of the Year Award
28. Determine length of a loan spell
29. Swap deals for players and cash
30. UEFA Licscensing. Probably not going to happen when the arrival of the new Champions League Game
31. Champions League and UEFA Cup finals to be played in random stadiums throughout Europe every year. Ability to customize the list of stadiums.
32. League theme music for Premiership and other leagues. I know the Premier League one used to be there.
33. Champions League and UEFA Cup music as well
34. At the beginning of the season, select your favourite international team.
35. You don’t just manage your club team, you also play as the International team
36. Play their friendlies and qualification games
37. Complete control over all off season duties, play a complete off season
38. Play in World Cups and Continental Cups every year they are available
39. Start a training camp for all players (Senior, Reserves, Youth)
40. Pick your team
41. Send rest to Reserves and Youth
42. Youths and Reserves can get injured during their games and the senior team is notified
43. Call up as needed
44. Have staff upgrades for youth system coach
45. Have the option of a pre season tournament or tour. Choose a tournament format, number of teams, continent or country and name the cup or play a pre set tournament. You could also take a country tour and play teams from that country. Ex; take Manchester United on a North American tour and select your opposition and number of games
46. Club World Cup Tournament for Champions League winners and equivalents
47. Fixture editor- Create your own fixtures list. Move games around etc. This would allow a user to copy their team’s real life fixtures or simply move fixtures around so you don’t end up with a cup game and season game on the same day or same weekend
48. Trophy Room- View all your awards in one giant (or small) room. Kind of like a tour
49. Milestones- keep track of manager’s tournament records and not just their season records. I want to know how many games in total I played in a season and over my career. Special bonuses for things like 100th, 500th, 1000th game in charge.
50. Reward Ideas- The store is a great place to get rewards, but some just aren’t worth playing for. Here are some things I would like to play for. New boots, new leagues, new tournaments, new teams, new cups, new game modes, club specific footballs, new sponsors, new players (classic players), any thing that creates incentive to keep playing
51. Longer and more elaborate celebrations when you win a cup. Different ones as well. A 1 min celebration is never enough. I want to feel that I really accomplished something special
52. Scouting reports for teams in your league. See who’s hot who’s not and who’s injured
53. Player watch list- Send out a scout to look for new talent. Keep an eye on them and watch their development over the years
54. Real player pictures for in game menus
In Game
1. Score in top corner to reflect the league you are playing in. Ex: Premiership, Bundisliga, French Ligue 1, Champions League, FA Cup, etc.
2. More of a TV style opening presentation and to be league specific to create that certain atmosphere. Atmosphere is the hardest thing to recreate. It’s all in the little details.
3. Updated commentary
4. Hostility Meter- Raises with bad calls, viscous tackles, cards, etc. Starts higher for rivalries. Ex: Man United vs. Arsenal would start with a high intensity as opposed to Liverpool vs. Tottenham. That’s not to say the rivalries can’t be created. If a game starts tame and then gets very physical and ends on a high note, the next game between the two clubs would start on a higher level of hostility whether it is a cup game or a league fixture. Once the level gets to about 90%, things will start flying onto the pitch. You want to avoid getting to 100% though because the clubs may be fined for their part. It’s not to say that both clubs would be fined. If one team is out of control and the other is playing responsible football, only one team may be charged. If this happens too many times during the course of a season, a team could see a deduction in points next term, relegation or even a ban from European Play for a season. The object then becomes to play a fair responsible game of football, but that doesn’t always happen.
5. In Game ticker- gives updates on games happening at the same time you are playing as well as games that have already been completed that day. If you need 3 points to overtake Arsenal for the league lead and a ticker pops up saying they are losing to Chelsea, you know you best win the game to take top spot.
6. More injuries- Injuries don’t only happen during a tackle, they happen when players jump for the ball and clash heads or come down on their ankle wrong. They happen when players block shots. Goalies get injured when they charge for the ball and a player doesn’t stop or when they dive for it and come down on their shoulder. There are so many more possibilities. I don’t like to see injuries, but they are a big part of the game and they give your reserves and youths a better shot at the senior team.
7. Players on pitch to be speaking and shouting in the language of their country
8. A pop up during the game should show how many people attended the match
9. Villain rating- If an away player makes a crunching tackle on a home player, every time he touches the ball, he gets jeered. So players make play better when getting jeered and some might just want to leave the pitch.
- I believe that fifa 2008 must have. – The Chilean league. – But options of strategies. – But camera options. – champions binds
fifa 2008 must have the Chilean league
Make the Danich Royal League, thats a very good cup.
Make an Australian League.
Make a Russian League.
Make a Danish 1. Divison, when you can make an english 3rd division. You can make a Danish 1. Division.
Make a very good indoor game .
or make more leagues.
And last better referee signals

i think u shud be able 2 play as te ref an give cards an delibiratly make the rong choices an u shud be abble to start fights with other people after a bad challenge or if ur just bored
My friends and I would like EA to include the option to manage multiple teams in Manager Mode.
This is a feat. that is sorely missed and we cannot understand why EA would want to exclude something as vital to ALL GAMING experiences as MULTIPLAYER MODE!
Also, the freekicks need to be totally reworked and so does the online league formats.
I think the keywords are: MULTIPLAYER and REALISM!!
Hi friends
I want a small degree of changes in the upcoming FIFA 08 firstly I want UEFA Champions league and League Cup (e.g FA Cup & Copa Del Ray) in the regular season just like in the previous version of FIFA series like FIFA 00,01,02,03 etc so that user do not need to play those separately and intensity of the colors in the game should be higher.
the possibility of being to manager of liberating world-wide selections and also to include the glass, the interleague, the glass of champions concacaf, to be able to raise of divicion the equipment, and that brings glass the UEFA champions league and the world-wide glass.
I think you should add the Israel world cup team. What I think is totally awsome about fifa 07 is that you can create your own team or player. The only thing I wish you could change about creating your own team or players is make it so you can pick certain cleats like for example, add the nike tiempo Ronaldinho both black and white and all the other awsome boots. Also make it so you can create your own jersey in a more creative way. Also make it so you can make the team crest more creative. Also I agree on making a split screen to see both of the managers reactions after a goal, one of the screens of the person who scored celebrating, the last be the reaction to the other teams defenders. Thank you very much for reading this. I hope you use my ideas to make Fifa 08 a great game.
iran is the best football team in asia who we like see iran in the fifa
i don’t know who you dosent pay attention to this program
i want of you who we sees iran in fifa 08 or we see azadi stadium in fifa 08
80% of iranian people like football 70% percent of iranan people play fifa game ( football game ) we like see my country in fifa ( fifa 08 )
thank you for design and make this game
i thinK fifa 07 IS NOT SO GOOD. THE COMMENTARY MUST BE WAY BETTER AND ITHINK THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE A MODE WHERE YOU BEGIN AS A YOUNG BOYIN A CLUB AND THAT YOU GET CONTRACTS FROM OTHER CLUBS AND WHEN YOU PLAY AGAME YOU MUST BE ABLE TO CONTROL ONLY YOURSELF AND IF YOU PLAY WELL ,then you stay in the first team.If you play bad then the manager will put u on the bench and u will see the game from the bench
make reserve team
send and bring players from reserve team so we can use them in the first if a player is injured or called to play a international game…
look please don’t listen to the stupid ideas listen to this a you will sell millions
i repeat:
forget the stupid gimmic ideas its all about the match
u don’t need a million leagues and stupid game modes
fifa is nearly the perfect game all it needs is;
more idividual skill moves
ability to move player when ball is in the air and approaching them
improved computer ai so they don’t just dribble at u all the time
real time. like after scoring and going for a cornor
slow realistic gameplay but NOT THE PLAYER REACTIONS
better one on ones so u can actually score
better set piecees (moving the players in the box ect)
please sort it out fifa the graphics and officialness is spot on
Include the Hyundai A-League (Australian League). Research the crowds and interest that this league is pulling in, and equate that into customers – most fans from Australia im sure have a game console and buy games. This is probably likely in Australia more so than some of the other countries in the vote.
Bring back the original free kicks….so u can aim it, select how much u want to curve the ball, and then the skill comes down to hitting it when the moving line hits the stationary line.
Random events….get a streaker (non-nude ofcourse) to run across the field and interupt play mayb once in a season.
Definately country orientated commentators – sick of hearing the same pommy voices over n over…how bout a selection where u can change the accent n get the real commentators from those countries to call the match.
I think it would be great if the A-League was in there (the Australian league).. ta
i think fifa 07 is great
i just have 3 suggestions though
1) change the way a player shoots as it is unrealistic.
2)make the commentary better
3)let there be a manager’s reaction after an important moment in the match (red card, goal scored/disallowed, missed opportunity). For example, you can have a split screen showing both of the manager’s reactions after a goal. one celebrating. the other an be shouting at his players or the referee, trying to cheer on his team or simple just sit down and shake his head.Please use real managers faces
thank you for reading this
Aye one thing i would love too see in fifa 08 is 1 thing the new A-league this is a very good year even though it started 3 seasons ago it is a very competitive league and i think it will go great in fifa 08 and this will get the aussie fans right into fifa 08
MAKE MOVIE SCENES
IN 2007 I DIDNT LIKE THAT FLASHBACK AND MAKE THE GROUND LOOK REAL . ALSO ADD THE AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE ( A LEAGUE) TAKE AWY THAOSE COMMENTATORS PUT THE ONES IN ALL LEAGES EG. LA LIGA AND EPL. MAKE THE GAME BETTER AND HARDER I DONT WANT TO KEEP WINING AGAIN AND AGAIN I WANT TO HAVE PRESHURE ON ME SO IF I DONT WIN I WONT GO THREW THE NEXT ROUND. ONE MORE THING ADD ALBANIA IN THE INTERNATIONAL SECTION.
IN THE FIRST LINE!!! —>>> PLEASE, MAKE ALREADY A NORMAL COLOR OF TURFS (GRASS) ON THE STADIUM FIELDS. NICE GREEN IN THE SUNNY DAY AND ALSO THE SAME NICE GREEN IN THE NIGHT LIKE WE SEE IN TV. (and adboards like real as well).
So, and try to add to the tournaments also a Champions League Tournament (Trophy,adboards,ball,kits…).
Repair som bugs like for example: The linesman always looks on the ball and doesn´t shows the direction with hands – who has the out-throwing…
and others..
SECOND IMPORTANT LINE: Do the harder dificulty of game (more then Legendary +goalkeepers make many unreasonable mistakes…).
player movement with the ball should not be as choppy and dribbling should be more smooth.
better pitch conditions e.g bigger
difficulty levels e.g make it harder to score
player faces
player boots e.g change able boots for players
creat your own pitch
create own boots
make reserve team
send and bring players from reserve team
make all leagues
transfers e.g make swaps like reyes and baptista did.
i think that fifa should make the pitches bigger and make the difficulty harder so i do not keep winning 8-1, 5-1 and that on world class mode i get bored easily. please make the game more realistic e.g the champions league draws,i always get some teams i have never heard of and its too easy. so please make the difficulty harder and make man u, chealsea and liverpool always be next to the top half of the tabe beacause at tje moment man u are going to get relagated.And tthats about it.Last but not least i would like to say i want the pitches bigger, the difficulty level harder and make the teams more realistic e.g man u chelsea and liverpool to be in the top half of da table and champions league draws to be more harder e.g arsenal vs lyon.
i would like 2 c better graphics , more players on each team from the reserves , better commentary and more players having faciel graphics
please add to fifa07 iran club leag and iran country
i think indoor football is amust for this game as pro evolution seems to be running away with the playing side of things. the graphics on fifa have always been better i think than pro evo as the players look more real every time. but i just think 2 things should be changed1. indoor football has to be done , i would buy it just for that lol !! and 2. different commentators, im tired of hearing the same comments and voices every game , make it like andy gray and martin tyler etc. thats what i think would beat pro evo by miles. i also think when you shoot at goal it shouldnt go in the same place type thing . i mean when i score a goal and then score another its almost like its simulating were it goes in the net and doesnt let u decide!! but hey that mite be just me.
In career mode, the World Cup should be playble in manager mode, If you are a good enough coach you should be able to coach your nation (or one that employs you) to a world cup. Playrrs go away for International friendlies so should managers. International friendlies (schedulaed by managers) and World Cup qualifiers would be awesome.
