Your Ideas for FIFA 08

(29) CUSTOM FORMATIONS :
————————————————————————————————————————-
After all it is a career of the manager.. So the manager should have liberty to design his own custom formation.. Let the manager set a custom formation of his own choice and save it for his career profile.. This would be a good idea..

Awesome idea, thats really good.

Also I think we should be able to see the referee during the game and please for the love of God make the crowd realisitic...

And I know you must be bored to death from hearing it... but... N.K. DINAMO ZAGREB please, please, please put them in...

for 1 i think you should ad the A League 2 Fifa series are my favorite but i was let down by the fact that there was no a league fifa is way better den that konami Junk that has the worst animation and graphics i seriusly dnt see why people can calll it better and a better manager mode like Football Manager just a bit tuned down

OH AND ALSO YOUTH COMPETETIONS SHOULD BE IN THE GAME

BE ABLE TO ZOOM IN MORE.
PLAYER INTERVIES.
A SHOP WERE YOU CAN BY CLASSIC SHIRTS OF YOUR TEAM AND PELE AND MARADONA SHOULD BE AVAILABLE.
SEE THE ENTANCE OF THE STADIUM AND PEOPLE WALKING UP TO SEE THE GAME.
BETTER GKS.
A EARLIER RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW IM DONE
PLEASE CONSIDER ALL OF ALL IDEAS EA.

-Be able to manage internationals.
-Holland should be in the game
-A better create-a-player or team than fifa 07
-more commentators
-better graphics
-more stadiums or be able to create one.
-medical staff coming into field when injured
-able to see coach and players in the bench
-CLOSE UP ON FANS.
-MORE REFEREES
-MORE MUDDIER WHEN RAINNING
-SNOW
-UNTUCKED JERSEYS ,GLOVES ETC.
-FIGHTS DURING GAMES
AND I GUESS THATS ALL

For the create a player feature include the ability to choose boots like nike, puma, addidas, r'bk, etc. Also include all the international teams if possible and include the South African leagues in the game also make the commentators have the ability to pronounce any name the way they would pronounce it as it makes the game more realistic, even if someone puts the surname like dayaram enable them to be able to pronounce and put all soccer commentators voices in the game so that there can be different combinations of commentators also make them say different things every match not the same thing over and over again.

4 quick videos showing some of the flaws:

Vid 1: Players kick off, attempts to pass to player in centre circle and pass heads off to the wing (not as intended) and is intercepted. Barca then give away possession and Milan attempt a through ball which goes straight to a Barca player instead of down the wing as intended for the Milan player who is actually running on. Ball is then passed out of defence and then an attempted pass is intercepted (again!) and all this is less than 3 mins in to game.

Vid 2: Barca attempted shot, where is the rest of the Barca team when the ball is saved by the keeper and bounces out of the box? Attackers and midfielders are not following play.

Vid 3: The amazing hit and hope Goal kick (bring back the guide arrow thing so at least we have some idea where the ball is going) Milan through balls intercepted constantly by barca players, surely a Milan player would be good enough to slip one through the defence? Ronaldinho (one of the greatest players currently in the world) can't complete a simple enough chip pass without the ball being intercepted (look close the ball never even looks like getting to the Barca player who is suddenly in the lap of the EA AI gods and basically uncontrollable by the player).


Vid 4: Ball is cleared by the Milan defence and knocked forward, at this point the Milan striker becomes uncontrollable allowing the Barca defender free reign to receive the ball and clear his lines. Barca player attempts a cross and at this point the intended Barca player in the box is in front of the Milan defender but at this point the Barca player becomes uncontrollable and in the lap of the EA AI gods and the Milan defender is able to receive the ball and clear his lines.

Wow, FIFA really is starting to clearly bug me Smile (btw: I have always been a fan of FIFA until the PES5 and the need to play a game which is fun, realistic and actually recreates a football experience within a game)

I think the goalie animations need to be improved. I play with my friends in a lounge, and we always argue over the legitimacy of the goals. If the goalie animations were better we wouldnt have to argue as much. Especially when buffon (a 92 overall) falls backwards and allows a shot to go right over his head. Instead just have the player put the ball out of reach so that it looks like a real goal, and not a retarded goalie.

How about including African Cub teams like Enyimba (Nigeria) Al-aly (Egypt), Esperance (Tunisia). And since FIFA has came out I've never seen an African player on the cover, how about considering Okocha on the cover of the next FIFA.

i like the idea of momentum as a team but i think doin this on an individual player level will be cool take for example you play as manchester united and your loosin 1-0 your team moral will be down but big players e.g rooney, ronaldo will still be on a high tryin to turn the game but players like vidic, carrick will be lower and on a more personal level an option could be to make everyone truly individual and have there own momentum and base this on how each player is playing you can already carry stats for each player so why not when a player like carrick for manchester united again is not passing or tackleing as good as normal h becomes even worse and cant get into the game but say if you score with rooney this fills him with momentum and easier to get another with him

Bitte bringt mal ein bißchen bessere Grafik ins Spiel, ich meine damit Details wie z.B. Graß wie bei Oblivion usw. klar das zieht performance aber man sollte schon mit der technik gehen und nicht das spiel für gamer mit low-end rechner entwickeln. Außerdem könnte man mal darüber nachdenken das Speil erst dann zu veröffentlichen wenn es fertig ist und nicht so wie bei FIFA 2007, wo man (egal welche Hardware man hat) auf High-Detail in Zeitlupe seine Torwiederholung anschauen kann. Ansonsten ist es nen geiles Spiel, ich finde auch super das ihr die Lizenzen für die Spielernamen alle habt.

PLZ plz plz add Hyundai A-League (Australians new national soccer league) I'm a big fan of Sydney Fc and soccer in australia is really taking off so its mad not to include the 8 team league:D

Also in manager mode being able to take control of a national squad as well as club

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(36) MANAGING INTERNATIONAL TEAMS :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduce the option of a manager to sign for a national team.. And make the players leaving for international duty more stener if we are manaing club Chelsea (Say). Like lots of players of different nationalities leaving rather than only one national team players..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

==============================================
Cont from above.. OUR IDEAS FROM INDIA FOR FIFA08
=================
(29) CUSTOM FORMATIONS :
---------------------------------------------------------------
After all it is a career of the manager.. So the manager should have liberty to design his own custom formation.. Let the manager set a custom formation of his own choice and save it for his career profile.. This would be a good idea..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(30) SHOW REAL PLAYER FACE PHOTOS IN SQUADS(LIKE MANAGER 07)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After i saw the screen shots of fifa manager07 i felt that EA is improvising for FIFA 08.. LIKE FIFA 07 MANAGER PLS SHOW THE REALISTIC PLAYER FACES(PHOTOS) IN THE TEAM MANAGEMENT / SQUADS(ABOVE THE LIST OF PLAYERS) WITH THE TEAM CREST BEHIND HIM AND HIS OVERALL ATTRIBUTE AND HIS POSITION BY HIS SIDE..
like this ======
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(31) SHOW REAL STADIUM PHOTOS WHILE GAME LOAD PROGRESS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having realistic stadium photos being shown while game load progress bar is going on would be an awesome idea.. Like in FIFA 07 Manager we can see the stadium photos also.. Include this in FIFA08.. Make it unlockable in the fan shop..
like this ======
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(32) (ECC)CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MENUS : [REALISTIC LEAGUE MENUS]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When in a CL match start, show the team formation like the real menus that they show on tv.. Those menus are awesome cool.. with blue backdrop and silver stars.. Make it glossy and real time menus for EPL also in FIFA08...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(33) PLAYERS TOO SMALL WHEN COMARED TO PITCH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like William said above.. We go with him.. We feel the player size ratio with that of the pitch is too small when (esp seen from TELE cam) so they kinda look distorted.. But in PRO EVO we feel that ratio is perfect and that makes us view the player biometrics also from a height.(TELE) In contrast FIFA06 is really good only when viewed up close in FREE CAM.. Only then the player biometrics is seen.. PLEASE CORRECT THIS..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(34) CROSS BARS TRANSPARENT IN FIFA06 >>>FLAW
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In FIFA06 we found a flaw.. When i gave a cross from the left wing the ball swung in the air beyond the keepers reach and came down right thru the crossbar from the top.. and bounced on the line then it was cleared by a defender.. The ball did not bounce off the crossbar when the ball came from the top.. It just acted like hollow and let the ball thru making it bounce off the goalline.. Please correct this in FIFA 08..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(35) CHANGE THE 2D CAMERAMEN AND MUSIC TROOP NEAR PITCH: &
SHOW MANAGER ON THE SIDELINE : REALISTIC CROWDS PLS....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make them in 3D.. Its really rally bad.. And how about having some ""bottles""" near the sidelines.. Occasionally show the manager walking up and cheerig his team on.. Show the manager when making substitutions also..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE HOPE YOU CAN SEND THESE VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS TO EA DEVELOPERS...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many more suggestions to come

Sorry not* was ment to be Note.

Please not that the field is alreayd checkered..

Thankyou Shearer (post number 210) he has also asked for more teams and said Dinamo Zagreb and thes stadium is Maksimir Stadion whcih translates to Stadium on Maksimir thus Maksimir Stadium... Althougb please do us a favour, can u add in the stadium as complete. It is currently undergoing renevations ot change it form a 40,000 capacity to a 60,000 capicity stadium and ijn my opinion the roofing and the clubs offices make it look very much like a Croatian version of Old Trafford... Atleast we'll get to see our completede stadium, it may take them a few more years...Ohh and with Maksimir stadium, just remember that the pitch is checkered to resemble the Croatian Coat of Arms not just a normal pitch... : )

Some ideas I had where:

- For all the players who don’t play in the team listed please include as many teams as possible into rest of world cough (i.e., Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split).
- Please add in more stadiums.
- Make the crowds more realistic
- For players who still won’t be included except for internationals please have a place where they can be edited and put into "your own club" as well.
- I think each country, which does not have a league, should have 2 teams at least added to the game in “The Rest of World� section (or at least team which qualify for cups such as UEFA cup and Champions League and other clubs which come very close to making the tournaments, i.e. Dinamo Zagreb who manage to qualify for the “UEFA Cup� regularly and have manage to qualify for the “Champions League� a couple of times as well as reaching the last qualifying stage of the “Champions League� but this season they failed to beat their final opponents. Dinamo have great players such as Luka Modirc and Eduardo Da Silva, who are both being closely observed by Europe’s top clubs, i.e. Man U. A long with many other quality players such as Marijan Buljat, Vedran Ćorluka, Oelilton Araujo dos Santos – Etto, there are plenty more who could be mentioned.
- Making “A Rest of Europe�, “Rest of Asia�, “Rest of America� and “Rest of Africa� sections, could make the “Rest of World� section bigger and thus better as it would include far more teams and thus far more players which in turn means more players on the transfer market so that means more hidden gems and that furthers the games realism.

hey! does anyone else think that the pitches are far too big in the fifa series? football pitches arent that big... theres too much space for the players to run which is very unrealistic! the players look way too small in comparison to the pitches! i would really like to see the pitches sized realistically in fifa 08 and i would also like to see northern irish teams like glentoran fc, linfield fc and derry city maybe included in the "rest of the world" section, these teams are three major teams in northern ireland who compete in uefa cup football and champions league qualifiers!

hi im bak on create ur own team u shud be able to have as many players on ur starting line up bcause i pretend that i'v got my own prem n all that n and the teams ave 20 players in the line up. plez consider my idea bye.

in fifa 08 the surrounding areas such as the crowd, ball boys and camera men should all be in 3D, no more cardbord looking people. you should also have to make your own manager rarther than choosing a picture of what he looks like and you can then see him shouting orders from the touchline similar to what club football did and you should also see subs warming up and add more coulors to the fans e.g. club shirts home and away fans, as it is these litte things that people notice that make the gameplay seem better to. and also add a button like l3 or sothing like that that makes your keeper run up for set plays (only wen loosing of course) and why can’t players go in goal they can in real life so why not in fifa and why cant we see our team hold the cups when we win them

A: Weiterhin den Realismus des Spiels verbessern. Am besten einfach das ganze Gameplay bei Konami abschauen. Dann wird das schon. Oder einfach Konami aufkaufen und dann das perfekte Fußballspiel (Goldene Mitte aus Fifa und PES) machen.

B: Hallenmodus. Ein Traum der sicherlich nie in Erfüllung geht, denn der Modus ist außerhalb von Deutschland nicht gut angekommen.

C: Die gleiche Grafik wie auf den billigen Konsolen. Kann doch nicht sein, dass das Spiel auf einer 3*0 besser aussieht als auf dem PC.

D: Kein Ronaldinho und kein Podolski mehr auf das Cover setzen.

E: Replay Funktion: Direktes Speichern als .avi Datei oder ähnliches. Dann muss man nicht immer Gamecam und Co. benutzen.

Eigentlich bin ich ganz zufrieden mit 07. Es ist zwar nicht so realistisch wie PES, aber EA ist schonmal auf den richtigen Weg.

Dieses Jahr denke ich sogar darüber nach ob ich mir noch PES 6 dazu hole. Letztes Jahr habe ich das einfach blind gemacht.

Downloadable leagues and teams for Xbox Live.

Es sollte die Möglichkeit geben Freistöße schnell ausführen zu können, das Selbe gilt für Einwürfe.
Außerdem sehen die Security und die Fotografen am Spielfeldrand schrecklich aus, warum nicht in 3D?.
Warum sieht man eigentlich nur auf der XBOX 360 die Trainer am Spiefeldrand?
Und der Rasen sieht auch grauenvoll aus, man will ein saftiges Grün als Fußballfan !
Mir gefiel der Kommentator von Fifa06 besser als die beiden jetzigen, oda Werner Hansch von RTWC 98 konnte man auch sehr gut zuhören.
Es herrscht keine richtige "Festtagsstimmung" im Stadion: Flaggen,mehr Fangesänge und bunte Schals könnten da nachhelfen.

I think they should bring back the ability to do that 'trick' in the 95 version where, if you stood your player just in front of the keeper when he was punting it forward, the ball would smack off your guys head and go in the goal.

Oh, and a football holligan mini game where you get to control fighting english fans or, if you are playing in a place like italy, the over zelous police.

oh yeh bring back being able to tackle the goalkeeper and bring in a nhl beat up players or referee option.

My ideas for FIFA 08:
- Include all the national teams even with unreal names
- Work more on players anathomy
- Spectators should be 3d in stadium
- More cinematic scences like when the players entering to stadium, when they giving autographs ...
- More flags, badgets, kits and ... for create club

I remember on FIFA 2003 you could unlock the Stade de France, Seoul Stadium and the Yokohoma stadium. Please put them on again.

1. u shud be able 2 be referee n make all the dicsions
2. you shud also be able to design kits like draw them so u get wot u want
3. n also ive never had pro evo but it sounds gud but i wish fifa was better n all the players luk like they really do
4. n all the real staidiams shud be on the game
5. u shud also be able 2 see the interviews
6. it wud also be gud if u cud see the fans outside the ground and watch the players arrive
7. wud be gud if u cud customize the managers so u cud be the perfect manager u shud also be able to create ur own balls
8. it wud be gud if u cud watch the player get stretchered off and the goalies shud be able to tke penalties, free kicks and corners
9. i agree with mxail and u shud add all the leauges including the oz leauge
10. and b4 the game u shud watch on the screen[in the ground] the squad getting announced
11. and the teams shud stay on longer i am annoyed maybe like most people that u hardly get any time to see ur opponents squad and ur own
12. and on the world xi and the classic xi u shud be able to modify them if u diisagre with the team there is
13. u shud be able to have ur own music on the xbox on fifa
14. and on manager mode u shud be able to get promoted to a international team[eg like brazil] or remain as ur club manager and manage both teams
15. and put on ALL of the international teams
16. u shud also choose which ground u have a final in
17. n it bugs me that the goalies kit is either nowt like real life or last seasons or doesnt have any sponsor[on fifa i made friedel score 5 or 6 goals
18. n if the ideas are to much to handle u shud get sum volenteers im sure people wud be glad to help make one of thier fave games n say they helped made it gud lik with 08 hope it rocks
19. n hope it snows in games or thunder and lightning or abbandoned and video ref bcause sometimes it goes other the line but they dont give it

cya hope u consider my ideasPLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

players from america always seem to just run up the field from kick off and score, that is so unrealistic.

changes to Fifa 08

01..don't let the computer take over the player as soon as the goal keeper picks up the ball...

02..better formations that can defend against certain formations.

03...no goals should be allowed to be scored just by kicking the ball as far forward as possible...

04..harder to score headers.

Hello. I want to add something more to FIFA 08

- Please, improve behaviour of referee and liners. Referee mustn' t stand near goalkeeper when he take out the ball from penalty area. Liners, I think, shouldn't just run near the line, they must signale offsides, througs outs... But they just runs and watch the game.
- And the second request: PLEASE add Russian Premier League and the First Division. I'am waiting for it every year.

Go on making such a good game like 07!

Bye!

Maybe you could put more of the players celebrations on there, like Lomano LuaLua's somersault and Crouch's robot. That would be cool.

I want the Victoria Stadium. Its the Necaxa´s stadium. Necaxa its a team of Mexico and one of most important clubs of Mexico. Please I want that stadium!!!

It would be cool if you had all the champions leagues and then all the winners got to play for the FIFA World Club Championship. Another idea is to add transfer swaps and allocations.

It should be cool - to create not only players but Leagues.

IN GAME: Just improve nets in the goals. They must be all kind of colours (for example in France almost every team have green nets, Newcastle have black-white nets, Sevilla red nets...)
SYSTEM OF GAME: Make more european leagues (Croatian, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek...) and also the biggest stadiums of these leagues (Dinamo Zagreb's stadium, CSKA Moscow's stadium etc.) With more european leagues it will be more interesting in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup.

please make somthing to can buy the oldest player for coach.

FIFA 07 is the best fifa to date but there are still alot of things that need changing or updating like for example please i am begging ea sports 4 a better graphic engine and give us a superstar mode that will be the best, when playing manager mode it should be a day by day thing and not just jump from game to game it should have training where u actually train your team stratagy and game plan with these features and some others i think fifa will be great …

In game:for simulating better we can see refree mistake also manager,holigan and SUB player reflex for mistake.we can see ball collector,fotographer,scoreboard and etc. everything that can help better simulating.I think these option cause more exciting game and the player never get board while he is enjoying the game.

for fifa 2008 it would be a good idea to be able to create your own referee for your home games.

To play as a goalkeeper....not only in penalties....and to create yourself as a player not as a coach...

Just a view important tips (demo Fifa 07 - 360):
- no more (automatic) replay when the ball crosses the line and the goal is missed by more than about three yard, especially when the ball travelles from long distantence
- the longer you push the B-button, the harder&higher the ball will be shot... I still have difficulty to time the shot well. Maybe it is possible to adjust the speed (i.e. slow things down if you want to) for easier timing.
- manual goalie as an option; would be a lot of fun in multiplayer
- 'analogue' right stick: if you take control of the ball you can use the right stick.... But when you do the ball always travels the same amount of distance. This is not realistic and more important: you often lose the ball to you opponent. Why not analogue? Play the ball with the speed / power you want .. i.e. more control - if the right stick can be analogue-ish.
- offside: wistle at the time the ball is played or ' at random' ... more realism and more excitement. I don't like to wait when it's obvious that my player is offside (waiting for the pass to arrive).
- it should be possible to cancel an action. Sometimes if you have pressed a button by mistake before receiving the ball, the followed automatic action is not preferred. By pushing a cancelling button things would become more controlled. This button then can also be used to ' fake' (fake-shot etc.)
- soundeffects: i think the sound of kicking the ball is very important. A bit more emphasis on that would be nice. (I like NHL better than 2K, but the soundeffects on the puck are better in 2K).

I hope you liked my tips. I have enjoyed Fifa a lot.

FIFA 07 is the best fifa to date but there are still alot of things that need changing or updating like for example please i am begging ea sports 4 a better graphic engine and give us a superstar mode that will be the best, when playing manager mode it should be a day by day thing and not just jump from game to game it should have training where u actually train your team stratagy and game plan with these features and some others i think fifa will be great ...

Also the new wembley wishes is embodied quickly. Also the Alianz arena is embodied from blood green onion 08 is empty.

Make Championship celebration better!!

I'm back with some more ideas for FIFA 08. Aside from what I wrote before it would be nice to see the training staff attend to injured players, if they're seriously injured you can show the staff carry him off . In manager mode you can keep different league and cup competion stats for your team and if your team isn't winning you can show empty seats. Bring back the fans waving their team flags and the flares in the stands. Also make it like 2006 FIFA World Cup in that we have the option to make each half 45 mins each. And bring back the screen at the start of each game that says the name of the stadium you're about to play in.

In order to have more fun . EA must try to improve the functions of the game as P.e.s did in addition EA can add football news in the game so one can be aware of transfers,add advertising abilities so one can earn money for its club and these kinds of things .The clubs can have under 21 or 19 years teams old train them at their clubs.as ones teame is getting better the fans also have to increase so club can earn more money .give the game the ability to consruct stadium with bigger capacities .with more money collected from different things one can employ more players etc.

Pleas enter the player career mode in the fifa08.

1. Remove the Tips & Tricks section and replace with a full training mode so people can practice how all of the controls are actually used.

2. Improve the team and player editing capabilities.

3. Add in many more national teams. This game is FIFA, after all.

Make player's moves more real 'cause they aren't robots as you present them in past FIFA's. I would like to have an option of creating my own league and create at least 12 new teams to put them into the league. I would also like that you put international U21 teams into the game. You must put more types of football boots and accesories for players into the editor. You can also create a program that the player (me for instance) can create his own stadium. Make the game harder to know and get it interesting to know the new players moves, dribbles etc.
Thanx EA for letting me express my ideas to you.
I hope they will help you in making the best football game ever!!!
