Hi everyone. First of all I would like to excuse me for my bad english. Ok, let’s begin:
1. I am playing FIFA from the 98 series, and I’ve never seen that a yellow or a red card has been given for the handball.
2. Only freekicks are given for the handball and never a penalty (it’s very difficult to observe the handball, but sometimes when I played, I observed that the handball was made in goalkeepers area (sorry I don’t know how it is called in English) and nothing happened).
3. Why there is no button for simulation? Don’t u think that the game will be more interesant if there will be a possibility to simulate :). Of corse with the possibility to take yellow cards for simulation :).
4. When I play career mode, in Europe I can play in Champions League and UEFA Cup tornaments, why there is absent Copa Libertadores?
5. And finally, the weakes point of the FIFA (from my point of view) is that the FIAFA is less dynamic then PES. In FIFA there are always standard situations,standard places and standard shoot power that leads you to goal. Very often players only reaches the known place on the stadium and shoots and scores. It’s not normal.
So as conclusion:
I would like to see in FIFA following:
1. Cards and penalties for handballs.
2. Simulation.
3. Copa Libertadores (at least in Career Mode).
4. More dynamic play.
p.s. Could you includ more comentators? Cause sometime I am sick and tired of Andy Grey and the second one (can’t remind his name). And I would like to see the Romanian Burger League and Russian League.
i thk d players should b bigger and d ref is runnin round d pitch not jus pops up wen ur gettin a card an i thk the irish league should b in it like how long we waitin
i think that you should add the managers of each club, with a rating out of 100. And maybe include Pele in the starting line up in the Classic XI, instead of him being a sub. And also include Maradona in the Classic XI.
The free kick system needs improvement, I like the 04 free kicks. Also the keeper needs improvement, in 07 the keepers reaction time is beeter but it still needs improv. The players should look more aware in the game, like when they are running they are trying to get around the oppositions and so on. More trick moves in the game. When playing a match in manager mode you should be able to get updates on other matches what are going on, Also I would like more envolvement in the fans. The training mode should be improved like more realistic trainings and training should be apart of manager mode. I would like the argentina league. i would like to see the fourth official showing the stoppage time I have played fifa from 1998 and I have never played a game where a keeper needs to be substituted because of injury or a red card.
Also when losing a game badly at home the crowd gets madd and starts too disrupt game amd police has to be called to calm them down. When you do a substitution in the menu, let the player warm up, before he could get in thepitch. Let us know with a status bar when he is ready & then make him approach to thesideline to make the substitution.
The difficulty is not hard enough.
Hola, mi propuesta es que incluyan mas ligas sudamericanas, un ejemplo claro es la liga argentina que es mucho mas competitiva que algunas ligas que posee el actual juego, de paso como buen chileno que soy me encantaria que el juego trajera la liga chilena, porque deberian saber que aqui en Chile hay gran cantidad de jugadores de Fifa y nuestra unica solucion de tener el campeonato local es hacer parches.
Bueno ojala comprendan las peticiones de este faatico de fifa, poruq sigo fifa desde 1998 cuando salia el futsal, y hasta hoy en dia que ya tengo el fifa 07 para pc
The Irish League.
Penalty Shootout.
I think you should be able to be the referee give a few dodgy decisions and you start off at say League 2 but if you do wel you get higher and higher this would be a massive improvement to Fifa07 or make a game called Referee 08 and it is just about the referee what do you think.
The best suggestion that i can give is…
like the Manager Mode…bring in INDIVIDUAL PLAYER MODE..by which u can create your own player and /or choose your own player from a team and play only with him. yea, i really mean FIRST PERSON or TP..with improved cameras. take control of only one player while your team plays the way the manager(yourself) manages it.
you can make it in 2 modes. one in normal matches.. you can play as a team (the normal way you have right now) and the option to choose one player (the camera should change with an option of first person or third person)
2nd mode > player managing.
create your own player and play as him… from a youth player to a legendary footballer..over the years. manage the team as coach/manager+ play as one player with an option of choosing ONLY playing for a single player which means…if we dont play well, we dont get much salary, we would be transfer listed, we can be injured. we can be subbed.. so, it means..more realistic play and each player will love to fight for his chance ..for his existance in a team.. starting from the youth team…
I would Like to see ;
More realistic players
More signature players
Skills working more effectively
Practice Challenges
More Boots with more accuracey
More realistic Kits
More International teams (e.g. Ghana Brapp !!!)
More effective and visible attributes
Champions league and Uefa Cup
World Cup
European cup
Other Continental Competitions ( African Cup of Nations)
All these will b ideal for a football game
Fifa 07 is GReat Game and is Probaly better than Pro 6
Another feature which should be include is when a rival team is level on goal difference and they need to win or draw to either Stay up and avoid relegation or To get the final champions league spot or win to progress through to the Knock out stages from in the Champions league they should be a little bulletin screen
like what happended in the 2003-2004 Premiership season in Survival Sunday the last day of the season
We can bet for matches in the manager mode ,too!!!
In Manager Mode have real-life situations like ‘Training Ground Bust Up’ or Star Strker on next Celebrity Big Brother’. It’s cheesy but it might make The Manager Mode more realistic
i think 07 was great and i hope u guys continue making fiifa games in that particular fashoin.
some ideas for fifa08
-add more boots in game from real companys
-add russian primer league
-ablity to create coustom teams with more varations from kits, coustom staduims,flags,fans etc
-more internatinoal teams
-deeper manager mode, like preseason, practice, design setplays , modify jersey ,
Only 2 teams from the best league in south america, the Argentina league. I’m sick of playing with european teams that i don’t care about. make a south american version so i can play Copa Libertadores & only them i will stop playing Winning Eleven wich still the best video game in the World. I love Playing my Ecuador league in W11. I live in New York City and we don’t care about the American league, we never go to their games, we prefer to watch Gol TV & Fox en espanol to see the south american games, remember in the usa the majority of soccer fans come from South America
Please do include an editor tool in FIFA 08, like FIFA Manager 07.
I think that when you play a special match like a cup final you should have another commentator like a special guest for example Alean Shearer.
Moin moin,
meine Ideen für FIFA:
1) bessere Zuschaueratmosphäre (kein hässliches 3D-Publikum mehr)
2) intelligentere Abwehrspieler und Torhüter
3) Hallenturniere
4) neue Grafikengine
5) NOCH realistischere Ballphysik
6) NOCH realistischere Netzphysik
7) Stadionsprecher
8) schönere Menüs und Tabellen
9) in jedem Satdion ein anderes Tornetz (Grösse, Farbe, Maschengrösse)
10) Live-Tabelle während des Spiels als Einblendung unten links o. rechts
11) Zwischenstände während des Spiels als kurze Einblendung (10-15 Sek. lang), eventuell nur von den Tabellennachbarn
12) Torhüter sollten Fouls begehen können und Elfmeter somit verursachen
13) bei Verletzungen sollen Sanitäter aufs Feld kommen
14) nach Toren oder bösen Fouls sollte die Trainerbank ihre Emotionen “zeigen”!
15) Wettereinflüsse wirken sich NOCH mehr auf die allgemeine Physik ein!
…
FIFA ist ein geiles Spiel… mit unserer Hilfe wird es bald PES überholen!!!!! ;-)
my idea of FIFA 08 should include
more realistic fans
all round better graphics
fourth oficial holding up board during subs and added time
mates get to control referees
more than just one comentator and anylaser
different channels eg: sky in corner of screen, or bbc
match of the day after fixtures on league mode
diving ability
players celebrating with fans
during season mode/ manager mode, before certain games, hav live coverage of the match, enabeling you to take control of an interview
Play off semi finals and final at cardiff or wembly
argue with ref more
show full cup celebrations; live coverage before and after cup final, including music on introduction to the programme, Club’s music before match eg: glory glory Man United, im forever blowing bubbles and never walk alone on entrance
Please put the Argentinean league or at last more teams from this league like San Lorenzo, Velez, Chacharita jr, Nueva Chicago, Rosario Central, Independiente, Racing, Lanus, Huracan, Arsenal.
Seems like FIFA is only for Europe, but… what about South America???
In conmebol there are great teams like Penarol, Nacional, The Colombian Mustang league, Olimpia, Cerro, Libertad, Luqueño, and many more.
Please make a better game for America too, and not only for Europe.
i think you should add these to FIFA 08:
– Better crowd reactions
– Less repetitive commentary
– CLASSIC CHARACTERS! You have to add Pélé and Maradona! they are the best footballers ever!
– I like the idea of superstar mode
– indoor soccer
– more international teams
– weather changes game play
– players get more emotional and have personality traits
I think this would make the game so much better
We can bet for matches in the manager mode.
I think that fifa 08 should come out with more central and south america teams such as Guatemala league, costarica , honduras, chile, colombia etc. because the only central america league there is mexico.
In manager mode put a bar at the bottom of the game to show lastest resuls in your league (if requested) Make a pre season so your team can get ready for the season ahead.If ur team wins da cup make them look as tho they R exited by mabey showin them lifin the cup and showin da Manager celebratin and show reprisentivtes givin them the medals and show losing team getting medals and confetti coming out in da team colours and the cup can have the teams colours on the ribbions.When your team wins the league with like 3 or 4 games to go show them liffting the cup on da next home game.Put song on when you score.Get International teams avalible in manager mode and if you do that make then make you ablie to go around the leagues. When you miss a penalty against a rival team allow taunts (eg-when Van Nistelrooy missed a penalty Arsenal players were taunting him)
i h8 the same bloody comentators u could change the commentry for each country in the uk like for scotland you could put paul mitchel and down in england you could have john motson and y does england get the premiership – confrence and scotland only gets the spl i would at least like the first division another thought would be interviews at the end of the game with managers players etc make more stadiums for lower leagues (gets a bit boring with the same old stadiums every year) when players sign in manager mode hold press confrnces and weekly press confrences before games if wanted ( in menu under team managment) more refs (like in fifa 07 theres a bald dude as a referee EVERY DAMN GAME) being able to control celebrations ( running into crowd, jumping over bilboards taking of your shirt etc and at the end of game swaping shirts to make it a little bit more realistic in the champins league they use the premiership ball it dosent take a genius to put the champions league ball on european games
Where is CSKA Moscow? This team is absent in FIFA 2007…Why? Sorry, my english is bad :)
Ich schliesse mich dem “WAN” NR. 383 vollkommen an und würde dazu noch gern haben das wenn ein spieler verletzt ist und es absolut nicht mehr geht das dann die trage und mannschaftsarzt kommen und ihn vom feld holen! Ausserdem währe es cool bei toren oder zwischendurch die ersatzbank und den trainer zu sehen mit z.b. ein paar emotionen! Und das stadion muss im spiel voll aussehen vll mit bengalischen feuer oder so was! Und man sollte im manager modi auch ausserhalb der saison anfragen von nationalteams bekommen und mit diesen turniere bestreiten können! DANKE EA FIFA IST DER KNALLER ABER PES HOLT AUF ALSO STENGT EUCH AN!!!!
-Add at once all four leagues

David.
1. I”ve been playing FIFA since ’98 but I think the FIFA-bot has one flaw that makes the hardcore gamers grab pro evo, it’s just WAY too easy, 06 and 07 get boring after about 20 hours. Even the ‘legendary’ difficulty is not enough for a hardcoregamer. I understand EA is focussing more on the main stream, because there is the money, which is so badly needed to make games. But one EXTREME difficulty would make the hardcoregamers buy/love more fifa.
2. I know that some national organisations, for example te Dutch KNVB (they are a pain in everones ass), are giving you a very difficult time geting national teams in fifa, but for a country it is very important that their national team is there, a matter of pride I guess, the Dutch national team for example is not there, I know EA is probably not the one to blame, but still;-)
3. Very important: I hear it all the time: How about making some slight differences between the different versions (read: a bit more than usual), like giving the English version more English stadiums, the Dutch version Dutch commentary and the second dutch league (or at least some teams so the league isn’t allways the same, do it like in fifa2000, that was nice…). And so on and so on. Makes for a better game and
4. Not a too many players are really struck with the ‘pace control’ idea. It’s good, true, but you guys can think of something much better instead.
5. Whatever you do, and I know I am speaking for all the Dutch players, (yes I and I DO know there are not too many of them but still…) do not throw the Dutch competition out in 08 it would be such a shame. If you really want it out, just keep it in the Dutch version, but doooont throw it out…. :-)
6. I love the sophisticated in Manager mode, maybe in 08, try to extend it further (offering of contracts by other clubs for example)
7. oh last point: maybe a little more tricks in 08?
Keep the good work!
My Ideas for the next Fifa 08:
1) indoor soccer and indoor tournaments
2) better reaction of the goalies
3) better overview of the defenders
4) realistic crowd in 3-D, no more bitmaps!!!!!!
5) realistic turfs
6) in every stadium different kinds of goal nets (colours, banners in the net, net height, net mashes,…)
7) the free kick-system must be changed
8) the menus should be nicer… okay, they are nearly perfect, but they can look even better!! :-)
9) in the game: overlays and intermediate results of other teams in the league mode, and a live-table, just like in FIFA WM06!!!
thanx for your attention!!!
hi ,
there is one problem about Fifa2007 and it is about free kicks!I think the present
method is not very good I prefer Fifa06 freekicks more.And another thing is about l
leagues.Please add the iranian because iran is the best team in asia and has got
alot of good players here!
thanks for your observations!
One club should have more than 30 players
Please develop Champions League 2006/2007 game.
Please include ALL stadiums from leagues such as the Scottish and English premier leagues.Also licensed boots would be nice – to be able to pick any top brand football boot and add them to any player.
hello..so..
1. more stadiums..(like the new one allianz arena)
2. indoor soocer
3. i would like to see ALL the internacional teams
4. add more realistic sponsors (like nike adidas..ect)
5. more realistic names in the future(menager mode)not the same and the same names …when i have pyjol in the present year in my team then i see that he is again avaliable 19 years old ..in the year 2012 or 13 but this time like a very good GK…then i buy him …and what i see then ….i see the same name in ac milan but this time a CF…: ))) i dont think fans like to see that..
6.also u can put the same name after years in menager mode (rare)but this time the new “talent”must be a big star “son …dont u think?
7.more realistic crowds(not just the same movie)
8.give me an offer that when i am in the menager mode with a team some other team offer me a contract to be their menager
9.more unlocks..like a guy running to in the field during a match to express whatever he thinks to any player u choose, and the securitys running after to catch him (it will be very funny)……,or in derby matches like(barca vs.real)angry crowds “fighting each other and the police trying to…..!this will cause to denied my team playing in my stadium for 2 or 3 matches or in the oponent team(various)
10.more specified youth academy(i like it very much…,nice idea u maded that)
11. specified training of my players
12.fifa 08 will be a nice year..put the europian cup every 4 years and the internatinonal cup every 4 years it would be a very nice idea…(let me be the manager of my “country” some of this years.so if u put thoose cups a lot of new talents will be avaliable…..and alot of present players will be return in their teams with more experience
guys i relly love fifa series
thanks reading my text ..with respect DORIAN
Cup Libertadores of America, Cup Sulamericana,Cup Brazilian B and Stadium´s Brazilians
i think you could include a ‘edit mode’ of trainers, players and teams (like flag os the team) and please put all the brazilian teams of the first division with correct uniforms and everything, and another edit mode that we can choose who we want in our selection, like, if i don’t want ronaldo in brazil i could put another brazilian player in his place
thanks!
byee
This is VERY VERY IMPORTANT when you include all the leagues from around the world (Australian, Argentinian, Iranian, Russian … leagues) in FIFA 08 even with generic and unreal names – like FIFA Manager 07.
This will increase your sale rate I think.
plz add all arab team and africa . plz dont add this idea in patch
Please put the Brazilian Second Division,more teams of South America(Chile and Uruguay clubs is Rest of the World) and put more national teams like Angola,Trinidad and Tobago and others…..
Hi. I would like the Argentinian League and yellow and red cards when the actions continues
hi why dont you put all these leagues that you put for election if you put all these leagues you can sell more cds and in that case ots better for everyone because everyone in this election want to see his country in the fiifa 2007
and one another question i want to vote but i cant why?
hi
azadi stadium in iran have 100,000 fan
please add iranian league in new version of fifa people in iran very like fifa
tanx
bye
1. Please show the trophy distribution ceremony after a championship final match i.e after a cup final win or after winning a league in which all the player walk up the dias to receive the winners and runners up medals and then the captain steps up and lifts the cup and then fireworks and a group photo with the cup which can also be archived i.e later on it can be seen in Manager History page …… this will be an instant hit i tell u
2. Asia is emerging as a big hot spot for soccer……. here is the market and i sincerely request u 2 plz include India in any form an international side atleast…. and more asian representations…… more asian country leagues and asian champions league.
3. Also try to make kits such that when we change the sponsor the kits should change and the name of the sponsor appears instead of a default one…….. moreover we should have also have the option of switching between nike, adidas, reebok, umbro and other kits company…… that will lend another dimention to the game.
4. Another thing introduced in NBA but not in fifa is the use of nicknames for created players… FIFA should adopt it… it was a real hit here.
5. We can also have the managers shown in between the match giving advice to players or in a brawl with other manager after a late goal…..
6. Please please do not retire players when they are 31 and 32 itz ridiculous that players retire so early….. they should atleast play till 35 – 36 years.
7. Please put the official stadium of all the top flight teams in major leagues like England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France.
8. I guess transfer of inter continental players is allowed when transfer window is closed, this should be included ASAP
9. The saving of the files, teams should be simplified……. its too tidious to save presently
10. Is it possible to kind of scan our image or the game taking our image using the webcams and using that instead of making a face. C’mon guyz this can be done.. this will be a path breaker and earn EA lotz
These are few of my suggestions that i can think of right now…….
Please read it and send it to EA and i hope we can together improve the game we love
I’m from chile, so I expect you put in the game the argentinian league in fifa 08. I think it’s to look to other countries, instead only europe.
Fifa 07 in current gen:
I love this game, the gameplay is excelent, but every year there are some bugs, like the goalkeeper, who has been improved since fifa 06 (above all in the crosses), however he never gets out from his goal when a striker goes alone with the ball, and when he is in front of the ball he takes his time to pick it. The defenders, also have been improved in fifa 07 to make them more easy to control when they slide, but they still have some problems in the ai to mark players. An example, sometimes they allow the ball to pass next to them. Other thing that I have been waiting for a long time is to make custom formations to the teams.
I think the graphic motor is very old to continue making games with it. You must use other one.
Ahhhhhhhh, other thing, you told us every year there’s total customization in the game, but you must let the users to edit (not to create) every aspect of a player. This includes his face.
plz release fifa 08 on Playstation 2 as well as Playstation 3…
Hi, i think is time for EA to find a way to make 2 FIFA games separetly… one for America & one for Europe… obviously i want all the IMPORTANT leagues from Europe like everyone else here in America… but im thinking… what do we care about the 3rd and amateur division of England? or the Korean league? i mean… common you guys.. you want to please the korean ok thats good but hey… i mean im sure you receive the same complains from hispanics but… when are you gonna put the Libertadores cup? the argentinian league? the Sudamericana Cup?? that game would make millions im telling you… you guys have to start thinkin about not only pleasing europeans… in America we like football (soccer) as much or more as the English or Spanish… think about it … a game for Europe just like it is now… maybe a bit less importance for the mexican league ( i admit it im mexican) but i understand in Europe they would say the same thing about not understanding why you guys included it in the game… but hey… there are millions of players in America not understanding why on earth you give us what European want… avoid having 2d divisions… 3rd and amateur divisions… i can handle the spanish 2nd disivision beacause theres hundreds of players from America in there so im sure itll be ok for everyone here in America… but you really must have the argentinian league with at least 2 or 3 teams from every south american country to make the Libertadores Cup… that you must! that would be like a Rest of America section … just like your ”rest of the world” … anyways.. im not hoping for you guys to have it next year i understand it takes a longtime in procedures and stuff… but you really have to start making a plan about it the idea of 2 games… one for America & one for Europe… i hope you read my message and thank you
Some wicked ideas are:
1. Have League XI’s like Premiership XI and La Liga XI etc
2. Have a team photgraph taken before each season and rearrange players around
3. Have shirt number 100. 2 players in Mexico have that number
4. Bring up non-league teams to play in the FA Cup
