Please complet stuff upgrade in maneager mode . fifa games is very good if thease games designers play this game after design . It is veri nice if player can edit(and transfer to world XL team) World XL team (and classic XL team) . And it is veri nice to if classic XL team has Pele(brazilian) and has Maradona.
It would be convenient to make search of talents not only on role and the country in which search is conducted, but also citizenship of the given player. For example, I often search for the player of the certain citizenship that he in the future supported a combined team of that country in which plays the club
i think in the next fifa game there should be:

1. world cup (also in manager mode)

2.different weather style.

3. football hooligans running around on the pitch.

4.become the reff.

5.have amazing foootballers like pele, best, bobby charlton.

6. more unlockable teams like classic 11 and world 11

7.have a story mode, where you can carry on from a losing team like if englands losing 2-0 to france you can become england and carry on to win. so basically just a story of how england or another team began and how there reputation rised. you shouldnt be the manager just the team.

8.fans throwing food or rubbish on the pitch when they think the reff has given an unfare free kick

9.more tricks for footballers

10. put yourself in the game. take a pic with your eye toy and just copy it onto a creat player.


some of my ideas sound wack but most of them are good.
In FIFA 07 there was a selection of players in a combined team of the country during career, but from a team participate no more than three person. I consider{count}, that this restriction should be cancelled, because many good players from one command{team} cannot often participate in a combined team as already three persons already from this command{team} play a combined team
i just want to know y is rooney given the highest ranking in 07 and he was given more rating in 06 also than henry... he came 2nd in fifa player of the year. plzz see in fifa 08 u dont favour rooney again and see the fifa player rankings bfore giving it. i know manu fans wont agree with me

Ea should imediatly put in a patch a multiplayer with four player.i have bought 3 fifa (FIFA 06 , FIFA WORLD CUP 2006 , FIFA 07)for that and nothing.
Have Licensed football boots on all players (if in doubt use Adidas). mAKE INJURIES more realistic to players like Woodgate who can easily get injured. When the players get injured medics come on and strecher them off if its serious. Authetic Goal keeper shirts. More leagues on interactive leagues plus offline.
During footballing derbies like Old Firm, Merseyside etc. Make there crowd violence. Firecrackers on the field that injures your players. KEWL
1. Authentic goalie kits (away and home)
2. All third kits
3. More licensed football boots for real players and created ones
4. More cutscenes like when a player is injured etc.
5. More weather effects
6. Better commentary
7. More realistic stats Sol Campbell if he is old or not is better than 79!
8. To be able to edit players before and after you have downloaded the online squads
9. Have a goal difference section on the interactive leagues table by using the mean average of goals
10. Have seperate classic teams like 80s classic, 60s classic etc. and then the overall classic with the best players from each era
11. Improved facial graphics
12. Have updated accessories to players when you download online squads as well as up to date stats on how well the player played (in real life) during the last match (if not see point 7.)

Thats it, hope to see the next fifa improved with out the bugs like with David James's hair
Oh one more thing, I'd REALLY like to have SIMULATE foul option... And yellow card if it is too obvious :) but if not obvious - free kick/penalty
1. taking squad stats on august 31st or september 1st instead of august 27th. Lots of transfers are done last minute.
2. Not MUST be, but I'd like to see croatian league in 08. I mean you have so many people in team making game, I could expect EVERY league in the world, especailly every european league.
3. It would be also nice to have tutorials, not just tips and tricks, but whole tutorials showing how to play (for those that are not regular players of fifa serial - there are many of those still stuck with FIFA 98 RTWC or FIFA 1999)
4. Complete list of possible moves and tricks. I know it will kill the pleasure of finding it out, but maybe it can be avoided by putting that list in fan shop at veeery high price (lets say 10000 points or even more)
5. More movies. Not CGI movies but real movies with real games. There are beautiful moves and goal throughout the season and, no offense, but you show nothing. And dont give us only Bundesliga or Premiership, but Serie A, Primera, Champions league.... I dont mind having game on few DVDs :-)
6. If you change something in gameplay, please dont overdo some things. Comparing 2006 and 07 you vastly improved control and reality but I founded it VERY difficult to score from corner. Maybe I need to learn more, but it is very hard for me.
7. since you have sideline referie, please dont make him just stand there. Make him bit more active (to show who has the ball and to raise flag when offside and stuff)
8. Crowd. I know it complicates things and is hard to manage but if possible, improve fan crowd on stadiums to react differently not just wave with hands.
9. International manager mode.
10. arrogant players (if I refuse to put someone in first team, arrogant players could refuse playing for me, or could play with half strenght...)
11. I assume you've once played Sensible Soccer. You might want consider putting some things from there to FIFA. I know it would be half FIFA, half Football Manager, but I'd like to play that kind of game.
12. More stadiums (I know there are plenty of them but who doesnt want more :D)
13. Make one "uber" stadium. Beautifly constructed, with many many many seats. Who knows, maybe some rich guy will see it and build real one :)
14. This is one is not very hard to make and I would certainly want have that option, and that is Stadium preview. with adjustable camera that flies as I want (something like Instant Replay interface)
15. And for the love of God, CHANGE commentaries... Or at least what they are talking about........ :)
on edit kit number, for example i was editing william gallas' number for arsenal 2 number 10 and when i went to the french national team his number had changed 2 10 as well but his number on the french team is 5, and on the french team i changed the number to 5 but it changed to 5 on arsenal! but 5 is Kolo Toure's number plz fix this.
I think there should actually be a ref on the field and when players get injured that the doctors come on and take the player off. And put the a-league in fifa 08.

Thank You
1. have superstar mode.
2. put Holland in international mode.
3. in season mode, when you have been manager of a team for 3+ years, please get offers to manage international teams.
4. and finally have awards eg. team of the year, at the end of each season in manager mode.

(40) SHOW THE BALLS I UNLOCKED IN SETTINGS
————————————————————————————————————————-
I gain some points and see the balls in fan shop and i unlock them. But to activate them in settings i see only the ball names.. Please show the balls by the sides.. their pictures that is.. So that it will be easier.. there are numerous balls and it is difficult to remember thair exact names.. Show show the unlocked ball pics in settings by the side
=======================================================================

(39) : KEEP A MENU FOR INJURIES INSIDE STATISTICS
————————————————————————————————————————-
Just to see how worse players get injured.. inside the menu.. Player name along with no of days out cos of injury and how many times he has been injured this season..
And in the transfer market show injured players with seperate icon beside them.. and lower the prices of players when in injuries and depending on length of injury..
=====================================================================
hi again if you want people to say pes is better even though its not u shud consider everyones ideas plez... on create ur own team u shud be able to choose the sponosr like lonsdale and bet 24[gud luk with fifa 08
goalies shud be able 2 tak penatlies
I also think the free kicks are much better in fifa 07 than fifa 06 and should be kept in fifa 08 as it is more of a challenge to score and you have more options. Also I think when you create a player you should have a choice of nike, adidas etc. boots, you can't say you can't do it because of copywrite you use them on rooney and ronaldinho etc. so why not on create player
everyone wants this stuff one fifa 08 but if we get all this stuff on the game that we want we lose the stuff we already like on the game. I think the player growth rate is really good and should deffinatly be kept on the game, but u have definatly got to put in custom formations, build your own stadium, a better classic team and holland ont he game. please you need this stuff on the game.

At first I wanted to thank for all your endeavor!
But there is one problem about Fifa07 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 leagues.Please add the iranian (Lige Bartar) because iran is the best team in asia and has got alot of good players here!
Thank you more for everything!
When players get injured game play should be stopped until the injured player is removed because gameplay cant continue if 1 of your players have a broken leg the team management window should be opened up before the free kick is taken so the injured player can be substituted because you would never see a player continue play with a broken leg basically because the player can't continue so they shpuld put this in the upcoming FIFA games.

Unlockable football boots and a choice of football boots to play in before the match and football boots with the statistics and stuff.

INTERNATIONAL MANAGER MODE for tournaments like the world cup and the euro that would be great! and everyone wants this!
Everyone has got ideas. Sometimes they fit to the concept of others, sometimes not. But there is aways worth to listen what other may invent.

1. Sounds from stadium. They should be nice, each featured stadium should be recorded live, with full crowds etc That would be very cool.

2. In the manager mode there should be an option for motivating players in the dressing room. That would be cool as the manager option, and attractive for players (fans) who always want to see what happens in this place before, in the half time and after the match! There could be many more manager option as well.

3. In my opinion there are not much fouls of CPU. There would be great if each team will make fouls as in the real season – there must be some statistics about it. Game would become more real.

4. I know there is a problem with 3D public on the stadium but few guys standing next to the pitch could look less thin.

5. Probably EA can't use any real adverts around the pitch because of FIFA rules, but there shouldn't be a problemmaking fake advertisement. At this moment there are only a few.

6. During the replays, there should be an EA logo flashing, not just frozen.

(37) : KEEP ATLEAST 1 CHEAT= CHANGING REFEREE INTO UR TEAM PLAYER
————————————————————————————————————————-
fifa series doen not have any cheats in game.. After all its a game.. We need to have some fun.. Keep atleast one cheat ingame.. Say after referee is enabled in settings by the user.. In game.. after the user types the cheat say... "12ON11".. the referee must be able to get the ball and play like our team player.. HAHAHA.. JUST IMAGINE THE FUN..

But disable this cheat in challenge mode (if the user is playing in one) and disable in online play when this cheat or cheats are typed.. THAT WILL BE FAIR PLUS AWESOME FUN.. RIGHT ea????

hello i have 3ideas or offer = 1.please make for fifa 08 a new grafic for the pc 2.please add azadi stadium 3.and please make a classic team (1.DINOZIOF2.PELE3.MARRADONA4.GEORGE BEST5.BOBBY CHARLTON6.PELATINI7.KERAYOFF8.EUSABIO9.BEKEN BAER10.DI STEFANO11.FRANK RIJKARD12.GORDON BANKS13.ROBERTO BAGIO14.MALDINI and...)
in fifa 08 i hope they bring in many ideas frm us.what i wanted is them to call the player names even after scoring a goal. commentators always use the word "HE" "HE".
Crowds need to be improved. player faces keep changing like c.ronaldo had a better face in fifa 06 but it gt worse in 07. we shd be able to take indirect free kicks as qiuclky as possible and even throw ins. in a corner every body has a uni form position,really players shd be scattered in da box. new celebrations shd be added and celebrations after winning a cup.
In manager mode even wen transfer window is closed we shd be able to sign contracts and buy him wen window opens. shooting needsto be improved.
I love scoring long ranges especially frm mid but in fifa 07 it works sometimes only.
very good ea trax shd be there and of course tricks and lot of tricks. well it did improve in this game and 2005.
i read one comment and felt it shd be there like we shd huv all emotions while playing the game.
they did a gr8 thing THE BALL PHYSICS.

there shd be training in manager mode.
i huvatleast these r there.
all I wanna say to your creator of fifa games is that try to make it more real time ...
something in this game is unbelievable ... such .. when the goal keeper get a strong ball in his chest ... he reflexes very bad and sometimes he will miss the ball very bad ...
and in fifa07 we have too many problem .. when i start the game there's no peroblem but in the middle of the game the speed and the graphic refresh will become very bad .. please correct this mistake ... or every thing that u call it ...
when u win cup u shud them lift the cup and get the medals and have a guy give the trophy to u and have fireworks in the bakground and the players shud have champagne to spray about
pleezzz consider this gud luk with fifa 08 hope its better than p e s

u shud bring the game out after the transfer window closes so we dont ave 2 do all the deadline day deals

plez make the crowd 3d and have all the rael footy chants for the club u play as
IN FIFA 08 U SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIVE BUT IF U DO IT AND MAKE IT IBVIOUS ITS NOT A FREE KICK OR PENILTY THE PLAYER SHOULD GET BOOKED AND THERE SHOULD ALSO BE REFEREE MODE WHEN U PICK A LEAGUE MAKE YOUR REF THEN REFEREE THE MATCHES THAT ARE (RANDOMLY)SELSECTED BY THE COMPUTER.

U SHOOD GET THE SPL SCOTTISH DIVISON 1 SCOTTISH DIVISION 2 AND SCOTTISH DIVISON 3 AND THE CIS CUP SHOULD BE IN IT.

fifa 07 is a classy football game when you can do good tricks and score amazing goals but in fifa 08 a fink u shood huv more choices in creatin players espeshiley in the hair styles and in the boots
i also think that teems shood get as many bids as they want in the transfer window
i think teems like rangers celtic and even st mirren get treated really badly in there stars ratings and players overallls.bary ferguson should have a rating of about 86 but in 07 he has 81 or somthing like that when chealsea should be abot 5 star
i even thing 6 star teams should come out

i sat about for about an hour and a half b4 i fought of this 1 i made my oan classic xi teem for fifa 08 and i really really would appriciate it if u used this teem
cause my grandfathers favourite player is in it

I think the players should look more realistic and the boots.If you have eyetoy you could make it take aphoto of yourself and it will turn it into your created.
It would be nice if you could design your own stadiums
Where is Davor Suker and Zvonimir Boban??? they should be in the classics team... or there should be 2 classic teams one form ages ago and the other from the 80's and 90's...
after you play a game like in manager mode could we see interviews like they do on match of the day and stuf f, so you can see how the manager thinks how his team played and also on the next FIFA could you put up this thing where you can put music from ur computer onto the game so it can be in the Ea trAX? And you can also put it from ur playstation to ur computer again.

culd u put liverpools luis garcia’s trademark celebration on there? it’s the one where he sucks his thumb…..
I want the player to have more control over the team (everyone will know what i mean if they've played pro evo). I want to feel in total control of the team, which i dont with current fifa games, but do with pro evolution soccer.

Every team liscened if possible + stadiums, and more sponsors on kit/balls/boots etc.
Change the way balls are played, especially through balls and long balls. Just to add more realism to it
classic team??
Bobby more,
Pele(the brazillian)
Bobby charlton,
George Best,
Peter Schmeichel,
Gordon banks,
marradonna,
Gary Linaker
why are none of these in the classic team, with out all of these theres no point in having a classic team sort it out!!!
when you win a cup in pes you see your team presented with the trophy so i think that you shud have this in fifa with the manager joining in with celebrations. I think fifa wud be so much better if the fans are in 3d and you see people like ball boys and subs moving round in back ground and it wud be good if you cud make a stadium but only for teams who stadium isn’t in the game so you can’t make one for chealsea as stamford bridge is in game.

fifa 07 is best fifa yet but why was old trafford the same as last year

I would like to see in fifa 08:
1. become national manager as well as club manager so you can play world cup and europen championships during season mode and pick the squads 4 it.
2. build your own stadium in manager mode
3. have more stadiums on the game e.g. tottenham's, southampton's, boltan's, celtic and rangers etc.
4. insteed of your created player being able to be 99 straight away i think you should have maximum amount of points to spend on him and then build him up more to make him better, like on tiger wood games.
5. have chairman leaving, quiting or selling the club now and again and have new board come in to make it more excting
6. snow and players wearing gloves when its cold
7. have holland in international!!!
8. custom formations!!!
Beach soccer would be nice. EA can release a news game for beach soccer like FIFA Beach.
I would like to see a more complex manager mode. Fifa has made great strides but including World Cup play every four years for manager mode would be great. The area that I would like to see is if you are a good manager depending on your prestige as manager possibly get job offers to lead a national team to the world cup selecting the players you would like to be on the national team.
I think fifa could do way better than winning eleven because first of all it has all the original teams and players but winning eleven has some lisenses only.I think that fifa 08 should have skill moves for both xbox 360 and the ps3 also fifa shoud make the soccer jerseys better looking or more realistic.
A few notes on the gameplay; it's a bit unrealistic how one can dribble the ball past midfield and almost immediately hit a brick wall of defenders, which breaks up the fluidity of play. Also, it would be nice to be able to quickly move between teams for squad and player editing. I don't like having to go back to the main menu after editing one team just to edit another.
like dosh (only person i can see at the moment who is comleymenting fifa for it achieve ment i always think it is a crackin game but there are a few problems like; some of the ratings are completly off like podoski a 96 and before the world cup not many people had even heard of him and then you get a quality player like freddy adu who 2 years ago when he was 14 chelsea and manchester united offered 14million for him but he turned them down because he wanted to stay in te u.s with his mum and in the game his rating is only around 69???????. Another thing i remember is when u create a player u can make him 99 everything and he iz AMAZINGLY good but i like in the old club football games when you have a certain number of point to spend on upgrading your player say u start wif 1,500 point u cant max out everything but u have to think about were he plays and what skills you should let him have. also i think the create a club bit is brillant but i think they should give u more choice i.e when you get a sponcer u put it on your shirt( i no that other kit can t because of the advertise rights and stuff but.)also i like the idea of becoming the maneger of a international team.also i wsh in maneger mode you had more choice of what to do so i you fan support was low go to office and do something to put fans back on your side i no internal memo does this but i would like it on the menu aswell : - ).also i think you should be alound to create a new stadium if you want to so if you saved up or just get a millionaire/billionaire to become your chairman you can create your own stadium . also on internal memo when you met fans i think you should hav a choice to have a kick about wif them in like a parking lot area (i would love to see footballers playing football in suites lol) playng aginst die hard fans of that club.
First of all congrats Fifa 07 is great (im enjoying myself)
I think somebody else said this but it would be good if you could create your own stadium.
It would be cool if you could build a new stadium for manager mode.
Please consider my idea.
Heres an idea for EA a create a stadium mode:

It would be very hard to implement this feature into the Fifa series but if they did add it into the game I believe the game would be much more fun. I think if they combined the create a stadium features of the different manager games such as Football manager and LMA manager and the MLB game we could have such variety in the way we have our stadiums. (They could also include features that have never been used before)

You will have a budget depending on how much that club will have in real life – so if you are Barcelona you are likely to have more money to build a stadium than an English League 2 side.

Heres how I think it could work:

Part 1 Size and Shape:

In this section you would choose how big all 4 sides of the stadium are so you could have all 4 sides with different capacity which would look odd but you would have lots of choice any way.

The two long sides of the stadium could go up as far as 40000 each.
The two shorter sides (sides behind the goal) could go up as far as 30000 each.

You wouldn’t be able to just pick a number like 32456 though you would have options such as:

5000, 10000, 12500 and so on to pick from.

Next would be the choice of the shape of each side of the stadium so after you pick the size of each of the sides different options would come up of how you want each side to look:

For example you could have one side looking like this:
[Link not available]

Or the shape of one side would look like this:
[Link not available]

And you would have the same options for each side unless you choose for a bigger/smaller capacity on that side so you would have different options.

Part 2 Colours:

Next you can choose the colours of each side of the stadium and included would be a colour feature similar to the colour slider in Paint:
[Link not available]

Part 3 Pitch design:

You will have a list for the patterns that will be on the turf on your pitch and you will be able to choose any of these.

Part 4 outside of stadium:

For this part you will be able to select what the outside of your stadium is made of also you will be able to choose one colour there will be a list of options for example:

Concrete
Glass

I cannot think of more right now but the materials do very between stadiums.

Part 5 Ad boards and logos:

You will also be able to choose from a list of ad boards to put in your stadium similar to the feature in LMA manager.

You will also be able to choose whether your club name is written across the seats in the stadium in either medium or big and in what colour.

You can also choose to have your club badge logo on the outside of the stadium like this:
[Link not available]

Part 6 Naming:

You will be able to choose what city you place it in if you are a new club and then you would choose outskirts or city centre, which would be the area in which the stadium goes in the city.

You will now get to view how your stadium looks and using the left and right analog sticks you will be able to look right the way around your stadium and be able to zoom in and out.

If you are happy with it you then press continue and you will be able to name your stadium something like the New Nou Camp or whatever you wish.
The obvious one is MORE LEAGUES FOR THE 360!!! But other than that, I was thinking of maybe a little more of a TV broadcast style. Also, along the lines of repositioning, it would be cool if you could train a player to be more accustomed to a position that wasn't his primary, a la Alan Smith of ManU. Playing a fwd in the game in a mid role makes him unhappy. Playing at such a high level consistently, though, should make a player like that happy anyways.
Fifa has always missed legends e.g Cruff, Koeman Pele etc

The immense battles I have with the PES boys with classic Holland are awesome Cruff can hit a ball from distance as well as Koeman on the free kicks.

Like PES It would be good if you can manipulate the players position easier dropping the centre backs a little back and tweaking the wingers to come a little less wide and stuff like that, tell Fifa you know it makes sense
I think that FIFA 08 should have the Austrralian A-League. It might be a new league but its stronger than half the leagues already in FIFA like the Belgium league, Ligue 2, Bundesliga 2, Austria League. At least have Melbourne Victory, Sydney FC, QLD Roar and Adelaide United in the Rest of world.

Also can we have the full Argentinian League with apertura and clausura. Plus Dynamo Kyiv, Crvena Zvezda, Dinamo Zagreb, CSKA Moscow and Steaua Bucharest in Rest of World.
