Put more African teams in the international section like Ghana, Cote Divoire, Senegal, Egypt, Morrocco, and others. Can you please spend more effort and time actually making the individual player models and faces for every single player in the game? Especially pleyers in lower divisions all have the same face but just different skin tone and hair. Pur more fields in the game. Try to have atleast every stadium for each of the top division teams in the world. I hate when i play with Portsmouth, but have to use that boring ‘swuare style’ stadium all the time. Make the crowd a factor in the game by showing cut scenes after a certain event occurs in the game. Make the crowd more realistic with them AcCTUALLY waving the tem flag and holding the banner. Also show them ACTUALLY celebrating by dancing and jumping. The player subs bench and the coaches should also be interactive while playing, or atleast some more cut scenes for this. Like have an option to warm up a player before entering the game or something. More signature moves, player traits and celebrations in the game to make it more real.
CARRYING ON OF MY COMPLAINT OF THE STUPID FA CUP SCORES IF DERE IS CONFERENCE SIDES IN IT AND PREM TEAMS VERSE THE CONFERENCE SIDES DONT PUT RANDOM SCORES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE MAN UTD 14-0 WOKING
ESSENTIALS
1) Have a TV company sponsor the game to make it feel more like you’re watching a match on TV (Sky Sports , Setanta , maybe ESPN) although don’t overuse the TV companies name or make it too commercial (e.g. “Setanta Sports’ FiFa 2009″) But please don’t have a made up TV company like EA Sports TV , the EA Sports Boots are bad enough).
2) More Competitions
- World Cup
- European Championships
- Copa America
- African Cup of Nations
- World Club Championships
- Champions League (Not EEC)
- UEFA Cup (Not EFA)
- Copa Libertadores
3) Better Commentary
- This is hard to explain but say if there is a shot that is narrowly wide have the commentator stop what he is saying and go “Oooooooh” or something. In FiFa 20008 he says all the build up and by the time he comments on the shot the GK has already taken the kick out.
- Add a third commentator and switch between him and Andy Gray throughout the season, this would give the game more variety
Commentators Mention
- Players form
- Milestones
- League Positions
- Birthdays
- Job Pressure
- League Positions Before + After Match

Plz add the south african premier league,egyptian league and plz add the great african clubs in rest of the world.plz add angola,senegal,mali etc. As national teams. When selling big star player it shud nt only be arsenal tht bids bt other teams like milan,inter,madrid,barca,bayern etc. shud also bid. Other teams (interntonal/club) shud fight 4 ur services as a manager whn u r successful. When bidding 4 a player in th transfer market u shud b able 2 persuade teams with player+money contracts,there shud b clauses in the contract and terms too,making th game much more realistic. EA shud add medics 4 each team,kind of like fight night round 2,tht way when ur player gets an injury during a match u cn choose 2 work on him urself,which wud b much effective nd can also kill off the time during a 1-0 win, or choose automatic whereby th medical team will do a rushd job on ur player which cud b dangerous 4 ur player’s fitness. U shud also be able 2 create a celebration for players.
when u do the fa cup tournament when the computer does random scores like for example on my fifa 08 the computer chose the most stupidist score ever it was bournemouth 8 reading 8 and this will never happen chelsea 1 accrington 6 can u improve them.
JONNY KOLBARZE
in create club mode in fifa 08 when u create your club name it doesnt let u have dat much characters so in fifa 09 can you make your club longer (up to atleast 30 characters) PLEASE!!!!!!
i think that there should be the following new leagues:
blue square premier
blue square south
blue square north
russian league
welsh league
romanian league
scottish 1st division
You Should be able to create your own tacticts for setpieces. In manager mode there commentators should be able to call out the names of youth academy players and reserve players of a team, infact every single player in the game. Young players shud get their facial likeliness with commentators knowing their names,that way manager mode remains interesting.u shud b able 2 edit your team’s kits after every 3 seasons.u shud be able 2 edit player hairstyles and in manager mode ths shud happen automaticaly ,eg. rooney grows a beard or c.ronaldo shaves hs head bold etc.training in manager mode shud be practical, just like in practice mode,the whole team/23 playerz / shud be available 4 training. Diving shud be available nd it’s same button shud be used 4 handball nd shirt tugging.manager mode shud be seasonal eg. when its winter its winter and the same 4 summer. Like rugby07 u shud b able 2 choose frm a long list of names when creating a player or manager.
Things Fifa 09 should definitely include are:
1) Greek Superleague with all official teams, jerseys, names, logos, stadiums, sponsors and ball. ( Since Greece is the eleventh best team on the world soccer ranking you should definitely include the greek league )
why isn’t Ibrox and Celtic Park in Fifa, or even Hampden!! These are 2 or 3 of the biggest stadiums in Britain – with Parkhead having a capacity of 60,000+. Its quite a let down not having theses stadiums in Fifa: Celtic and Rangers have just a big a fan base as any other team in the English Prem, bar Man Utd.
+Pre-season friendly games in manager mode
+International manager mode
+Endorphin 2.5 physics engine
+Ability to design a new kit every season on manager mode
+Make it easier for extremely fast players to get past defenders
+Make the referees alot stricter and actually give players a straight red card
+Show a created players face outside of the match
+Have lesser known commentators for league 1 and 2 games, and foreign commentators for foreign games.
rather than focus more on the top leagues like the premership they should give the lower leagues like the coca cola championship more focus such as the top stadiums and real looks for the top players in that league
better tactics
more realistic stadiums and like someone before me said make the effect of wear and tear during the game
make the national team for malta c’mon we are also a country
EA SPORTS please buy the licence for ROMANIAN LIGA 1 !!!
And more important : Manager Mode multiplayer eg: i and my friend can play manager mode in the same time on the same carer , make transfers betwen us etc…
:D :P
real freeckik styles
training mod
more skills
make the game faster please
croatia club HAJDUK SPLIT!!!!!!!!
hi, when you make a player the commentators should say the name you put on you shirt thanks
i think that fabregas and cristiano ronaldo should be on the front of fifa 09 because they are the best players this season and it would be good to see new faces on the fron and not rooney and ronaldinho!
add Ukrainean Leage and Argentinean
Put some of the clubs from the african continent, e.g Al ahly…esperance…
Put proper names of the holland team…add the ivory coast, egypt and ghana national teams…
I think Fifa is the best football game out there and i’d like to congratulate everyone at EA for making it all possible but there are still some major flaws in the game which have been noticable for a few years now.
1) Really needs to improve the commentary. It would be great if there were different commentators for different countries – like if you were playing in La Liga the commentary would be in Spanish.
2) More focus on the Premier League – include more stadiums from the top league in the world. I know it’s a difficult job designing new stadium additions but it would be a great asset to the game if new premier league stadiums were included. White Hart Lane was a good addition but that is only the start. New stadiums could incude Villa Park, Goodison Park, Upton Park, City of Manchester Stadium.
3) What happened to the Santiago Bernabeu? I certainly hope that this stadium is added in fifa 09
4) There should be at least one new league – first choice would have to be the Russian League followed by Argentinean League and Greek League. I remember the Greek League used to be included in fifa 2000 or 2001.
5) More Rest of the World Teams so a more realistic feel to the Champions League can be achieved. I think that all the teams from the Champions League from maybe the past 3 years could be included.
6) Manager mode is beginning to lose its edge and there has been little change over the past couple of years – Be a Pro was a good idea but more needs to be done to make manager mode exciting again. In my opnion an international manager mode should be included but i know there is no point asking for this since it will not be installed in fifa 09 anyway.
7) Why waste time developing international teams like New Zealand – No offence but have they been in the World Cup recently? Instead more teams which have been in the World Cup should be included in the game. I think particular focus should be on African and South American teams.
8) Celtic Park and Ibrox should be included
I hope some of these suggestions are helpful – keep up the good work
hampden park and celtic park should be on fifa 09. reserves + international under 21′s pls! there could also b an actual villa park – i know closed square style looks a lot like it but it wud b cool if it really was villa park. referees are a BIG thing – u should be able 2 see them when u r playing, and there should be well known refs like rob stiles and clattenburg. and with cristiano ronaldo, isnt his first name cristiano – his SURNAME is cristiano ronaldo. weird! apart from all these things fifa 08 is really good!
1>MAKE THE GRAPHICS BETTER
2>MAKE THE FACES OF THE PLAYERS MORE REALISTIC
3>ADD MORE LEAGUES
4>EVEN MAKE US ABLE T0 CREATE STADIUMS
5>MORE UNLOCKABLES LIKE FOOTBALL BOOTS,TRICKS ETC.
Include African Cup of Nations,make injuries and skills more effective. All players should look realistic and shooting should be more advanced.
Make first time passes better
make players drink water when the game is stoppted
i hope u make a international league for manager mode and tornoument mode or i will not buy it!
and will there be a fifa 10?
there should be internationl legue on tournoment mode and manager a nd real managers fifa o8 looks the same to fifa 07 i was disapointed tell us why should we by fifa o9 wen its gena be the same as fifa 08,07,06, on play station 2 and dont say we need to update the system just change it not the controls da gameplay i think be a pro is exellent and controll your own goally with r3 but you should make the players look real i create a tornoument a play untill 5 in the morning , the graphics are the same as fifa 07,06, so i suggest u do some thing about it
many thanks , danny.
MORE STADIUMS
BETTER ATMOSPHERE DURING MATCHES
BETTER SKILL MOVES (PLAYERS LIKE RONALDO, RONALDINHO ETC)
ALL LEAGUES
More international Teams GHANA,
put real managers in the game and put every epl stadium in. you should put robbie keane or steven gerrard. the a league should be better
there should be more players in it and inclued the fifa world cup while your playing manager mode. make sure the commentry is accurate and make it so you can do a bicycle kick. add every player on a teams and make more ledgedary players.
Please add RUSSIAN LEAGUE
UEFA champions league, reserves, u21′s, African Cup,
Grounds more realistic
Closer camera angles
More leages
Make graphics more realistic for every player
This is YOUR fellow CANADIAN HERE coming up with some other ideas…
-HOW ABOUT MORE REALISTIC PITCH EFFECTS, IF A PLAYER SLIDES MAKE THE PITCH AND DIRT COME OUT, KEEP IT THROUGH OUT THE GAME like real pitches in real life…if the goalies area has been attacked throughout the game have the pitch look like the wear and tear it has been through….
-FIFA CLUB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
-international team MEXICO chant of “si se puede” is ACTUALLY ECUADORS international team chant
- please make the fouls more effective. there are sometimes qhen I get slide tackled and there are no calls.
- Make the manager mode more fun. When you plasy for 15 seasons it gets boring. aAlso on the transfers, when I want to sell my player only the teams on the same league want to buy it. I rarely see any teams from other leagues interested in my players.
- make an manager mode for international teams.
have a superstar mode like in madden where u create a player or yourself and which country your from and pick a team to be on and work your way up to play for a world cup team
Have also create a team, you can design the kit, maker , sponsor, colour, pick the location, and other things.
Have Croke Park in Dublin as a stadium and Celtic Park. And also different things the announcers say because after about 5 games you have heard most of the lines. And one more thing, national anthems for each country. (north of Ireland is not god save the queen, so find an alternate national anthem so you don’t offend the Catholic community.
Cheers
I think u shood change the AI for the day nd nite bcos imn sick of playin pre season friendlies nd its dark which would never happen unless it kicked off at 11 at nite.
bak in world cup 2006 the bit at the top which tells u the score would change for different countries. i think u should get permission from worldwide tv companies (e.g spl matches put the setanta sports score bit nd for english premiership matches u can get sky sports)
i think the career mode should last for 30 years instead of the now 15 years, so you can see youngsters progress through, just like in madden. I also think there should be a difficulty selection for the career mode, it is way to easy, too much money, you can buy people from the premier league to play in coca cola league 2 which is highly unrealistic. i would also like to see international competitions and offers to coach teams.
just add extra weight on the ball,imrpove graphics and everything will be just perfect
CHANGE MISTAKES LIKE PLAYERS NOT BEING CALLED THEIR NAMES BUT SOMEONE ELSES ON THE TEAM
HOLLAND NATIONAL TEAM MAKE IT REAL PLAYERS
ADD U21 NATIONAL SIDES
MORE NATIONAL SIDES LIKE MORE AFRICAN SIDES
MAKE MORE PLAYERS LOOK REAL AND NOT DEFAULT
CHANGE DEFAULT NUMBER FROM 2 TO SOMETHING ELSE
ADD DIVES AND HANDBALLS
FINALLY ADD A DIFFICULTY BEFORE PROFESSIONAL BECAUSE I CAN DO THE ONE BEFORE IT BUT I CANT DO PROFESSIONAL LOL
i think EA is definetly capable of making the greatest football game on the planet, its just some simp-
le details that should be added. i know the new gen game consoles such as the ps3 and the 360
has enough space in their hardrives that EA can add soo many new features that should be the key
of developing the BEST football game out there. first EA should definetly add more stadiums,
it was crazy how they didnt have the bernabeu on 08. they should add some south american stadiu-
ms such as the maracana, boca juniors la bombonera and river plates monumental. i dont know
how EA is contract wise with UEFA but they should definently take that ECC out and add the cham-
pions league. they should also put managers on the sideline and the player benches. also put the
ref out on the pitch and its assistants on the sidelines. add more south american leagues and the
libertadores cup tournament, also with the fifa club championship.
-better technique
-more real life tricks (for example the ronaldo’s o fenomeno dribble wich is also on fifa street 2, is real look at “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C4-PZZdsEc” at 1 minute 10 seconds till
1 minute 19 seconds)
-greek superleague
-international career (managing national teams)
-more player styles
-some players have their own tricks (ronaldinho:flipflap, ronaldo-c.ronaldo-robinho:stepovers
-linesman and refferees

-more cutscenes before the match and outside the stadium cutscenes
-more competitions
-more extras

-goalkeepers can get dribbled by the attackers, to score more beautiful goals
-more “simple” dribbling, like running and passing defenders (just as messi)
-ball can “stick” on the corner flag
-well-known refferees
-more realistic and real life sounds by the fans
-crouds cheers more when you are losing, to “help” the players
-the entire team squads (11s,substitutes,reserves)
-fifa 98 indoor mode
-BRING BACK JHON MOTSON
-keep on the good work with the soundtracks

-champions league, world cup, copa america etc
-more realistic graphics,gameplay etc
-better cutscenes when ayeam win’s a trophie
-more realistic training
-zinedine zidane, pele, maradona, platini, romario etc
-be a pro career
-diving, shirt pulling
-create kits
-create teams
-MORE swerve
-incredible through balls
-NUTMEGS or PANNAS (what ever it is said)
-more realistic control of tha ball (when a player is running with the ball. the ball can’t go exactly straight all the time
I love fifa 08 on the ps3, however there can still be improvements
1) make all players have real boots
2)Be able to choose socks and shorts
3)make there be harder hitted headers
4) make the referee give you proper advantages, when adventages could be given they arent, when they arents needed they are given
5) make long shots easier
6) make the crowds louder when you score, make the commentry less repetitive!
please acknowledege everyones points!
plsssss add the argentina league, a lot of southamerican want it…. maybe all southamerica want it =3
