Since the last xbox live update when i go to play fifa 2009 online it says that i need to be signed into xbox live and ea servers in order to select that feature. I noticed that theres an option which wasn't there previously saying sign into ea. So i try to sign into ea and a ticker appears for about 20 seconds then that same message appears telling me that in order to sign into ea i need to sign into ea?!?. Help please cos its driving me mad.
1). easier direct free kicks, such as a target box appearing.

2). include glasgow celtic and glasgow rangers FC stadiums. i have been asking for these to be included for many years... i wont be holding my breath this year.

3). is there some reason that real madrids stadium was not included last year? can it be included in fifa10.

4). introduce handball offence but not on a very significant level. there shouldnt be several penos in a match everytime the ball is kicked into the box.

5). introduce manager figures on sidelines along with players warming up.

6). Better crowd reaction. when goals are scored especially , also booing certain players. also people in crowds appearing to walk on the aisles of the stands or perhaps the stadiums emptying out earlier than normal in circumstances where the game is well and truly over before time.

7). is there any possibility of having the option of playing the champions league. i remember for the last few years up to 2006 or 07 there was a seperate EA Champions League game on the market. why is that stopped ? is there any signs of re-introducing it.

looking forward to fifa 10,
tanks
Hi, will the new fifa 10 have more detail, such as interviews with players ect. Also will it have every league in the world

Many thanks
Omar Williams
Is it possible that on fifa 10 manager mode, we could get promoted and relegated?
It's one of those this I would put in the game to make it it just like real football. If your perfomance as a manager and the team was in the bottom 3/4 then you get relegated or visa versa if you were in the championship fighting for a place in the premier league.
It would be soo fun with a game like NHL,NBA,FIFA but its like a floorball game its like NHL but its floorball. Please it would be soo fun!!!!!
in asia there are not strong team like chaina there are the best in asia like jappan, iran and saudi arabia why are these team out of this game
say you had fifa 09 and fifa 10 was out you should be able to update your 09 squads to the 10 ones
ilike the control confegration in the last verision.. so keep it
more staduims for each team
more african national teams,, and clubs for middel east should be added
African champions .. like African Nation champ
improve skills for players and fent motion
improve the reaction of players,, and coach reactions will be cool
Shall we see new leagues at fifa 2010 and if...
Which will be they?
There are a lot of leagues that exist till now,i think, at all fifa's version (almost),which they shouldn't exist... and a lot of other that should be exist in every version like Romanian ,Bulgarian ,Greek A'and B' ,Russian ,B' and C' of Italy ,League of Poland ,Hungary and many many others BUT NOT leagues like Swiss, Austrian ,leagues of Northern Countries (Baltic countries) e.t.c
Its ridiculous...i m sorry but they are!
Ok I know that you EA dont have time for this comment, but this is quite important for me because I want Fifa to be the best football(soccer) game so far. However I want to tell you what I feel will make Fifa a better game.
(1) Imagine playing Fifa and not only using exp points to make yourself a better player, but using them to buy for e.g. better shoes.I know it seems pretty weird but think that you can make yourself a real unique superstar. Like C.Ronaldo have your own unique free kick and ext.
(2) Very important, Titles like Golden Ball, Best Player of the year. I mean you should have some appreciation after your hard work during the season.
(3) CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! Lads! how could you forget about that I feel like I shouldn't remind you about it because I feel like it's quite obvious that you have to put to put in the game. Oh yeah, and every time you play a very important match like (let's say League final) you will get way more exp points than in a normal match. what about this if it's the most important match in your life like World Cup final you'll earn about 10,000 exp points if you played well.
(3) Training mode, I can't imagine how would it work but I think cones and all the things the real footballers do would be just enough. I think it's very important.
(4) I respect people who said alot about weather conditions but, I personally think it's not the most important thing in the game,but you should add little more weather changes in the game.
(5) I love to make make my own club in the game and I think i'm not the only one, but I think you should also add logos and real sponsors like for e.g. NIKE in the game.
(6) Add your own face in the game, and please make it simple so even a mobile phone picture would do. Improve physics show the players growing when you edit them, add way more shoes and accesories.More hairstyles, commentator names make them say something like for e.g. let's say the guy's name Adu make the say something like(the unmistakable Adu) something like this anyway. And this is supersuper important for me if you are a good player(like over the 80 ovr) in the Be A Pro mode make the picture of their face replace the shadowy picture of a soccer player.And in the Be A Pro mode everytime you get better update straight away to the original game.
Thank you.
i think ea shuld target both people in fifa
or ea sports game

Could you edit Football conference league,Nothern Premier League Premier Division,Isthmian League Premier Division and Southern League Premier Division, please
will St. James park still be on the game???

If not please keep it on
I've seen the Kit patch EA has done - New kits for Liverpool, Bayern, Newcastle and some others, is it and will it be available on PC?! I really like the new Liverpool 3rd kit and cant wait!
Does the greek super league will be included in FIFA 10?????please answer me and please include the greek league in the game!!!!!!!!!!
with RESPECT...!!!
Does Manchester United have an unfair advantage in the game? I find that even though I'm playing an inferior oponent, when they choose Manu it's harder to beat them. This is too consistent to be coincidence. My players react so different against Manu. They make alot of mistakes and it's more difficult to score on them. When I select Manu against someone playing with Manu, the games usually go - 1 for me, 1 for my oponent, 1 for me, 1 for my oponent......and so on. But this is only when I'm playing someone of similar skill. Again it's too consistent to be coincidence. Thanks
Dear EA,
I think now you should put out trailers of fifa 10. I might be being greedy but I cant wait!
we need the next version of fifa manager
when would you writen about it?
The fifa brand is still by far the best footballing game!! However there are many improvements to the game, that will make it untouchable.

One main factor of sporting games in general, is their longevity. When playing fifa during manager mode, it becomes rather repetitive after the first few seasons of playing. It simply just gets boring, as there isn't much control over the players development e.g. training, actual contracts etc. you are pretty much just playing matches. With the inclusion of mini games into club training, would add more realism to the manager mode. For example dribbling around cones to improve players dribbling, shooting at targets in the goal, to improve shooting etc, or weight training (similar to that of the Beijing 2008 game).

As well as this, players within the team, should be listed in an area of the game, with a list of all of their achievements and medals, not just the manager history. Sort of like a hall of fame e.g. world player of the year, european player of the year, premiership winners medals etc. These factors will make the game much more enjoyable, as it adds to the realism of the actual proffesional game.
really loved 09 but obviously things can always change. my main idea is that you. should be able to practice more in free roam area. like take free kicks and brig in a fake wall or practice corners or practice being able to skill past defenders or such
Please add the russian leauge and the argentina leauge and rumanian leauge and afrcan leuges. pease make it the best game ever.fix the graphics add champions leauge and uefa cup.add more national teams .add more stadiums.more tricks and better comentary qith different people please add ukranian leauge with dynmo kiev.better manager mode. more south american leauges plus Mexican 2 division
Please add the russian leauge and the argentina leuge and rumanian leauge and afrcan leuges. pease make it the best game ever.fix the graphics add champions leauge and uefa cup.add more national teams .add more stadiums.moe tricksand better comentary qith different people please add ukranian leuge with dynmo kiev.better manager mode
Dear EA, I hope you take this message into acount but I can see (that because there are so many letters) it's understandable if you cant.
1) I think you should make it that if a player's injured people take him of on a strecher, not the player just limping of.
1/2) If he's really injured then make a vehicle drive onto the pitch and take him of.
2) Make the weather optional on game settings before a match (raining,snowing/winter,average or sunny)
3) Make it so you can choose the ref. Make a large choice of refs and make them real ones.

Thank you for taking your time to read this message-if you have-I love EA and the FIFA games.
Cheers, Maka West Jnr.
I think that fifa 10 shouuld include the free roam arena for all platforms, not just Ps3 and xbox. Also i belive that in manager mode you should be able to do training, e.g your the manager and you decide what you want to do in the trainin then be able to watch them train or maybe even be the player training himself.
plus in manager mode make the teams budgets more realistic, e.g west brom would not buy ronaldo for £70m! where did west brom get £70m from?
please please can you put every teams stadium and mostly can you change the goalpost according to the stadium e.g brightons goals have 3 posts and blue stripes and chelsea has 2 posts and white netting and please no more UK DIV.1 STYLE stadiums they are terrible so only real stadiums from every team and the appropriote net. thanks
make your own team and play with it in manager mode
stadium editor in manager mode
better saves from keepers in matches
better freekick control
SOCCER4LIFE102 :P

Thanx FIFA
in manager mode have it so other clubs offer you the job as the manager and you can decide
dear EA please could you do this stuff to fifa 10 to make it the best football/soccer game around

1) The Injuries should be more realistic so if a player is badly injured they should be carried off by medics asap even if your team is down a man for a few minutes.

2) World Club Cup

3) A chance to be asked to be International manager such as England, Netherlands, American samoa etc… I know there is games out there where you are international manager but it would be great to be manager of manchester united then be recognised by as a great manager and want my services as England coach

4) add some more lower leagues such as Blue Sq Premier so we can play as our local teams such as stevenage borough etc…

5) Handball the amount of times its happened and game has continued!!!!!!

6) Refs & Linesmen making mistakes like they do in real life!!!!

7) You should be allowed to change sponsor & kit colour in manager mode so if Microsoft wanted to sponsor Arsenal you can change the sponsor on the kit to Microsoft. And also change kit colours like so many clubs do every bloody season!!!!!!!

8) Weather changes so for instance the sun is not gonna be beaming down in the middle of december so have snow or rain or something!!!!!!

9) have midweek games that are played at night like they are supposed to.

10) When you sub someone you should be able to see them embrace with their fellow team mate and either show them being congratulated by their teammates & staff or be annoyed at being subbed and maybe storming down the tunnel so for instance if ronaldo is having the best game he has ever had has scored a hat trick and is running a one man show almost & you go subbing him he would not be the happiest person in the world.

11) Testemonial matches! So like if your man utd and you have still got giggs/scholes in your team until he retires there should be a testimonial match for that player for their services.

12) bring in the rule like they are doing for next season in the premiership where you must have at LEAST 6 homebred players in the starting lineup.

13) Have players go on international duty and come back with injuries etc….

14) To be able to change players kit numbers!!!!!! I know you used to be able to do this but on the 360 (dont know if its same for other platforms) you cant and it looks stupid when you have say ronaldinho has the shirt number 3 & your keeper having number 10 it just wouldnt work that way in real life. so maybe even when you buy a new player maybe he would say that he prefers the number 9 shirt and if its available you can give it to him or if someone else has it you could see what that current player thinks of giving up that number

15) let your players talk to you so maybe a message would come up that says that wayne rooney isnt happy with you playing him at left back or cristiano ronaldo isnt happy at being left to rot in the reserves or lionel messi is glad you signed carlos tevez to play up front with him.

16) Have players request to be transfered/loaned out. if you have Wayne Bridge sat on the bench or in the reserves for a year he is gonna want to play regular 1st team action. players do this in real life so why not on the game

17) Have your reserve team coach report to you what players are playing well in the reserve matches

18)The option to be able to DIVEI know that we ALL hate a player to dive but we know that some players get away with it and if we are 1-0 down wit 2mins plus any stoppage time left we are gonna try anything we can so why not try for a free kick/penalty the worst thing that could happen is that you get yellow carded and lose the match which if you didnt try you might have lost anyway. this idea would only work if the refs/linesmen made mistakes otherwise everytime you dive you’ll get caught out

19) When a player retires you should be allowed to ask the player if he would like to stay on as your right hand man/coach for the reserves/coach for the position they played in

20) When you renew players contracts when there is a player in their final season and it says they are retiring at the end of the season so cannot renew their contract their should be an option to try and change their mind to try and get them to carry on just one more year (maybe another year on top next season as well if your lucky)

21) Once you get up to 10 on your stadium capacity thingy mebob (you know what I mean lol) you should be able to have the option to BUILD a NEW stadium I would love to be able to build a stadium & have a capacity that I’d like to see watch my great team, also that means you can get more money#

22) put the ref/linesmen back ON the pitch during the match not just when someone is offside/fouled etc… that way accidental things like the ball hitting the ref when he stupidly gets in the way can happen and the course of a game can change so quickly just by this happening. just small details like THIS makes the game that ever so sweeter

23) Keep working on the graphics they are good and fifa has come a LONG way BUT small details like above and the fans (which considering how far the graphics have come since fifa 96 this should have been alot better a while ago) should be improved the fans should be shown more so if a foul has been made the fans should be shown throwing abuse at the offending player & it should show the fans cheering as their team lifts that all important cup or cheering as their team score an all important goal that keeps them in the game
Dear E.A
Please add the blue square premier league and the conference league into the upcoming FIFA game. This allows people to play as there home town. Thank you for your time,Jacob Bentley.
darren bayliss
Dear fifa please in manager mode its good you got the fa cup champions league and the rest however it would be great if one of your players on your team say for example wayne rooney cesc fabregas you could select to play for your country but as a whole team during manager mode say like freindlys world cup qualifiers/world cups/uropean for example im man u ive got differnent nationalitys on my team but i can select that player say rooney but control england aswell and manu yhen you will definetly beat pro evolution as the best football game ever
richard smith
need help geting my fifa 09 game online it keeps telling me my e-mail address is not right and dont no why i got burnout on ok with it can you help.
what are the basic tecniuqes and tactics of futsal?
EA, Are you actually going to bother reading our suggestions and questions for FIFA 10? Because to be honest i cannot see you lot reading thousands of suggestions for a game that you've probably almost finished developing.
cristiano ronaldo has NEVER been on a cover 4 a FIFA game PUT HIM ON ONE.
1- Aribian Team & Arabian National .
2- The Manegear Mode Add The OnLine .
PLEASE! Make it possible to play against eachother in Season mode as you could in previous FIFA:s and PES! Me and my friends used to take one team each and start ONE season. Lets say i was Man-U my friend was Liverpool and my other friend Chelsea and instead of playing against the computer, we played eachother. You always played with your own team against a friend who took control of the team you were facing. This was by far the most exciting thing you could play, cause lets face it, sooner or later you will get tired of playing against the computer, and its not that funny to just play random matches against eachother that does not mean anything in the end. It was possible on both fifa 07 and PES 6 and on previus versions to them, so WHY, WHY DID YOU TAKE THAT AWAY???… please make it possible to play like that again. You tried to win the scoringchamp, play for champions league spots and of course to win the league at the same time as you tried to knock down your friends in the table. Sometimes we even took scrappy teams and played the whole “struggle to survive” to stay another season in the premier league. this is my only wish and i know im not the only one who will buy the game that makes this possible, wether its FIFA or PES.
We always played it on playstation2 an now we would like to see it on PS3
1. Goalkeepers are to unrelistic on 09 they don't drop the ball, can't get send off an players can'y challenge them in the air i think this is a big issue in fifa 10 i think they should make more mistakes an you should be able to challenge them but if you do you can be penilised depend how hard you challenge.
2. The players speed is rediculous on 09 titus bramble would be quicker than nathan dyer which i think is stupid i think they need to look at lower league players stats better.
3. I definatly think there should be more stadiums e.g all premiership grounds, spainish an all the top leagues an plus the pitch sizes should depend on which ground your at because on 09 the lower league pitch would be the same size as the nou camp.
4. Champions league an the Europea league games should be at night
5. Players should react to weather conditions so as if it is raining they should wear long sleeve an maybe gloves am plus if they slide they should get mud on the shorts an stuff.
6. Subs if the player has had a good name you should see the player coming off with the fans chatting his name an having a well done from the manager an if a bad game the oppisite an also if the player don't wanna come off he said storm off or go straight to the tunnel.
7. I think you should also see the manager an subs an the sideline the subs could be warming up an the manager in his technical box making signs.
8. Commentators need to talk bout more stuff like say in manager mode you sign a new player he should talk about that an plus they could talk about updates in other matches.
9.I know it spoils matches but i think there should be an option of diving where you can so if you dont want it you can turn it off but everyone loves abit off diving so i think that would be a good idea :P.
10. Training i think you should be able to do more things in the arena such as corners an have more than 1 person in there you can decide how many you want.
11. Pre-season games in manager mood would be good an also in manager mood there should be internationals.
12. There should be a penalty shoot-out mode i think this would be a popular idea as everyone loves penaltys.
13. Injuries When a player get injured the physio should come up an say if he gets a cut or summit he should come back on badged up an plus if its a head injury the ref should order the player off the pitch an if the injury is serious the stracher should be brought on.
14. Long shots are quite pathetic on 09 i think you hardly ever score from long range an when you do its mostly place so i think they should make it a bit better.
15.linesman i think they should make mistakes cause that all they do in real life so i think they should in fifa10 an 09 every decision is right so i think if they get some wrong it would be alot more relistic same goes for the refs.
16. on be a pro mode you should be able to change the apperence of your player when you want not just wen you create him an also be able to sign sponsors such a nike an adidas an other sport brands.

Plzz tell me what you think of the ideas an add on to them if you can plzz :)
Being a big fan of the game I would like to see the Ukranian, Russian and Argentinian leagues and maybe the Chilean, Arabian and Japanese league added to the game. Other great additions would be a stadium creator, team creator, Trick editor and Celebration editor. Some added realism to the crowd (including cheering), weather and players would be nice as well.
One more request a music importer so you can listen to all your 'choons' while playing as me and my friends have become bored with much of the music (which is generally good). The Free kick system could be improved as could the long shooting and passing mechanisms.
Any chance of this happening EA?
It should have Peru and the Peruvian league. I have lots of friends that are Peruvian that want it to be there
It should have Peru and the Peruvian league. I have lots of friends that are Peruvian that want it to be there. My mistake millions of Peruvian people want want Peru there please put. Thanks for reading and I hope u put Peru for FIFA 10
I would like to see the Argentina league and also Uruguay league and a full world cup with qualification process and group stage and quarter finals semi-finals and the final that would be great. Also more detailed free kick tecnique.
Alfred de St. Croix
Fifa 2010 should be launched after the winter transfer season and all the teams should have more money

I am having trouble downloading Fifa 09 ultimate team and each time get an error code 80029564. can you please tell me what this means.
who is gonna be the next person on the box for fifa 10
on fifa 09 sometimes when you try to do a quick pass the player takes another touch which is realy annoying, so if you could sort that out it would be brilliant as there is nothing else wrong with the game play to me. also on manager mode the option to manage a international team.
