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

pitch. Let us know with a status bar when he is ready & then make him approach to the
sideline to make the substitution.

I think in fifa 08 you shud be able to dive and to have lower premier leaugue sides like west hams stadium (upton park) and you shud be able to start fight and have fans running on the pitch at the end of games.and as a multiplayer mode to be refs as your m8s.You should be able to control celebration aswell.I love fifa 07

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
me parece que deberian tomar en cuenta que aparescan la hinchada en las tribunas gritando el gol o fallando un penal y que el modo manager salga el entrenador la jugabilidad se muchisimo mas real mas ligas americanas y paises sudamericanos y tambien en asia como japon y en europa a holanda. seria una idea exelente si es que se propusieran trabajar x un juego extremadamente bueno con mas ligas sudamericanas y mas paises.
i hope Fifa must put ElAhly Egypt the champion of Africa in the next Fifa & be always in fifa instead of kaizer chiefs & orlando pirates that didn't do anything this & last years
i hope Fifa developer hear me & make it for all africans & arab's lover of Fifa & Ahly Of Egypt

-New engine
-Russian League
-UEFA Champions Leaague
-UEFA CUP
-more physics like Pro evolution Soccer
definetly put READINGS STADIUM ON IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS A GREAT STADIUM READING FC 4EVER . STEVIE COPPELLS BARMY ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there should be every premiership stadium on it because all the lower teams in the premiership have to play in rubbish stadiums.
I wish FIFA 2008 allows 2 person to play against each other in the same computer,no LAN no online. Dedicated for people who do not enjoy internet faciclity. mayb u developers can allow us gamers to change our own keys so that 2 same user same same keyboard by separating the keys by personal preferences.
As Tom says, a continental teams would be a good idea:

- FIFA Team (World XI)
- UEFA Team (Europe XI)
- Concacaf Team (North America XI)
- Conmebol Team (South America XI)
- AFC Team (Asia XI)
- CAF Team (Africa XI)
- OFC Team (Oceania XI)

- A Libertadores Cup
- Sudamericana Cup
- UEFA Champions league
- UEFA Cup

- Rest of Europe club league
- Rest of America club league
- Rest of the World club league

- More stadiums as Estadio Jalisco, La Bombonera, El monumental, Centenario, Ciudad Universitaria, RFK Memorial Stadium, Columbus Crew Stadium, Morumbi and Estadio Metropolitano.

- A free coupon to change for our favorite soccer team jersey.
What about continental teams? Europe XI, South America XI, Asia XI...... You get the idea
I think that there should be more international teams, Nationwide Conference, Argentinian League, J League and Australian A-League and you can choose what players you want in the World XI. They suck in FIFA06
Like Shabab said at comment 347, the freekicks are way too easy, Every time i get a penalty around te box is score.
