Substitutions: If a player on the field is a caption and he’s coming off the field,
That caption should give away his band to the new capton before he leaves the field,
And also the officials should stand on the sideline with that board. And is two players are coming off two players should be seen getting off and two coming in.

The Crowd: The should get more aloud when u plays home. And there should be
A favorites player, which whenever he has the ball they should makes some kind of happy sound. And they should be whistling if they are losing home match and it’s almost time.

Bench: This something we’ve been wishing for since fifa 06.Well fifa 06 on XBOX360.
I will say it was the best football game ever. Less features but really it was a great game.
Coaches being seen how stressful they look. And the substitutes on that bench.
This is what we are all hoping to see on the next fifa 09.

Weather and Field: Weather is something which we all know it wasn’t featured in fifa 08.
Which is very bad.Becauce that’s one reason which makes people says pro evolution is better football game. And I think they are right in some reason. Because they do add almost every little detail in football in their game, they even let the menace’s come and pick up the injure player of the field. And I think EA can do better than that. There have to be rains, Snows and the players jersey are suppose to get dirty even if there were no rain or bad weather. I mean this all those things which make people say Pro Evolution is better football game. And yes the weather should be change be it selfs.which will also depend on the period of the season.

Players: The players this is were the whole game counts. The players were very big. They looked like they are in Gear of War and Halo. This is crazy. Footballs are not that big.
You guys said they have AI and all kinds of stuff and they react to every thing which is going on around them. And I will like to tell u guys if they player gets hit by hard shoot they don’t even react. This is crazy because they do react in the current version.
But I think the players were all great, just they were too big they need to be little slim.
And if u creates a player why the player gets to be over 80 before they can do some tricks.
That’s not cool. You are supposed to be able to make some moves when you’re over 70+.


Tricks: Well the tricks were nothing. You guys better make a game with stuff were they fun ask for. We are not looking for a game with all that expensive features we just want a simple game with a lot of details. We’ve been asking for it since 1998.Then u guys made a great game 2006 on PS2. And for the first time on Xbox360: Road to The fifa world cup
My God that was a great game. Just simple game with tricks, there were less team but really I loved that game. I got fifa 08 but still enjoy that game more. Really we don’t need that entire expensive trick moves which u can’t even pass a single player with. Just give us the same moves on road to the fifa world cup. And make a great game. That all we need.


Stadiums: Did you guys know that we play 80% of an every season in the game. For example if you’re a Amsterdam’s FC Ajax manager, then you’re going to play all the matches in one stadium which is very annoying sometimes. You guys don’t need to make the same stadium as the one in Amsterdam. But just create more stadiums, at lease just design something of your own which will make us play on different fields.

See we love Fifa games, but you just don’t care about what we want. You guys I am very sure that fifa has lost 1000s of funs since Pro evolution started making games the funs want. We thought maybe PS2 is old so u guys will make something great on the Next Gen version. But even that where the whole game gets really messed up.
The ability to pick teams from the past. I would love to play with Napoli during the Maradona days. Also, nothing bothers me more when I pass to a player and he stands there like a deer in head lights. It would be nice to be able to control him.
Just remembered, it doesnt rain or snow in the game, its always nice and sunny, which obviously should not be the case, and there should be night matches, not just day or dusk. wind effect would certainly be an exciting addition.
I duno if any1 has said this before but i think it would be great if goalkeepers made some more mistakes
1. in wet weather they could slip
2.miss a easy ball
3.run far out of area
4.run out of area and miss kick ball
5.bump into defender

these are just some sumple ideas sorry if they hav been said before.
firstly i gonna thank EA for making such an amazing game, i have always played pro evo, as i have always thought it was more of a "football game" rather than pass, pass, pass, shoot goal as fifa used to be. But fair play to fifa08, amazing game.
couple of things i would like to see improve are:
The significance of stats shouldnt be underestimated , eg. my player speed 92, comp players speed 54, but yet he catches up to him, or keeps up with him, i dont care what level its at, that should not be happening. Granted that on legendary, comp should be tactically very good, but come on!! (i also did a test to check if players stats make a difference and to be honest...they didnt!! but thats a different story).
Should have more options for free-kicks, ie. under the wall, through the wall, tee-up for power shooter freekick, better curl on freekicks. also, wall should not always be perfect, it should have a randomness that if you blast at wall, it should occasionally go through as is case irl.
Be a pro-mode, absolutely fantastic, amazing, my favourite!!! but you should have a career be a pro mode, ie, create player, (have trial etc) get signed up, play, stats improve, move up ranks, That would just be AWESOME.
Computer cannot always tackle perfect, one thing that pees me off is that the comp defenders are always perfect in their tackling, and they muscle the players off the ball, yet if i do the same, they get free-kicks for it!! needs improving, and also, the comp always dilly dallies on the ball goes round in circles, then passes down the win, again dillies around and then eventually puts a cross in. It should vary its play rather than be sooo predictable.
I like the 5v5 idea as suggested earlier but i suppose fifa street covers that. although a 5v5 training ground session for be a pro career mode would be cool (see how well he does in training and if he does well he gets picked :-)
Cant think of anything else...yet.
yes it is me yet again, but i feel you need to make the dutch leagues and players better. give them proper stadiums such as the amsterdam arena, de kuip, philips stadion, geldredome, the ab lenstra stadium.....

and the players are not rated very well. for instance, Klass Jan Huntelaar is only 79 rated, he should be closer to 84, because he is an amazing striker. boost thier stats generally, cos most do not exceed 70, and i think you may have forgot that eindhoven BEAT arsenal in the quarter finals of the champions league!!!
yes, its me again, but i just came up with a brilliant idea. How cool would it be to have 5 v 5 tournaments, linking it to nike's joga bonito, with advanced tricks. It would be like the nike scorpion adverts.... how cool would that be??? the goals should be small like the real 5 a side ones.

and another thing....with all the other teams and leagues being put in, surely you should focus on the internationals a little more....I thought the national anthems were cool though....add in more teams such as serbia, trinidad and tobego, african teams (for the african cup of nations,) especially good teams like ivory coast, how could u miss them out????
Hi, I would like to congratulate the FIFA 08 team for creating such a good game, but there are lots of things they could do to make it into an AMAZING game:
1. Get the stadiums sorted on the x box 360. the annoying thing, is every manager mode match, i always end up playing in "estadio des les artes" or whatever it is called. you should either get all the proper stadiums for the proper teams OR at least give, say the top 12 from each league. The others then should have proper-sized stadiums, rather than the average div 1 is oinly around 180000 ppl i reckon
2. Bring in more tournaments to keep you occupied; thing like the intertoto cup, african cup of nations, emirates cup, and international ones such as World Cup, UEFA cup, rather than releasing them on a separate game!
3. More unlockables should be incorporated as an incentive during the game. You should be able to unlock recently retired players (zidane, etc), more classic teams, classic footballs (like in fifa 07) and most importantly, older stadiums such as the old wembley, the maracana, estadio da luz, neckarstadion, highbur, how amazing would it be to play in old wembley again????
4. sort out the commentry, it is appallingly bad on the 360. Go back to either motson or tyldsley, people with voices we recognise. And with all the money you lot have, you should get all the proper sponsors, score displays,and music for different tournaments and leagues, so it all feels like a real match
5. when players miss, actually have the crowd groaning (or jeering) at the right times, adding drama to the games. then you could actually show the players reactions, of surprise, anguish, humour, frustration etc.

all of these would make an amazing game
legend at fifa
u cant choose the price on fifa08 u should be able to that was another thin that was better on 07.
Also make ur game the same on each console cos when my xbox360 friend says somethin bout it i dont understand cos its different on my ps3
+ championship teams to be closely researched cause i think they need to be boosted overall like miffy should be much better
more realistic

Make teams like barca more down to earth.

Collecting the ball more realistic..like in game at the moment u can chest a ball that is going t=in the same direction as ur running...it would more like speed past u
put in emirates cup
the be a pro mode should be an option on manager mode
graphics more like pro evo
u can be the ref more options in the manager mode
make ledgendary mode harder, 2 easy at mo
player traits like beckhams free kicks and gerrards long shots and ronaldinho's skill
i think u should include world cups euro cups etc. I also think u shud be albe to manager YOUR OWN COUNTRY in manager mode (the best manager in the league gets to be a manager of a country)
I think Fifa Manager 08 is superb, would like to see more things editable via the game editor. Think included in the editor should be the following.

Would like to be able to change points for a win to from 3 points to 2 points via the editor.

Would like to be able to totally get rid of substitutes like the good old days, if players got injured you either played on or finished with ten men.

Finally would like to be able to introduce a maximum wage, again like the good old days - competitions would become more competitive from top to bottom.

Regards

Gary
all the stadiums
pleas download fifa 08 pleas games download fifa 08
I think next version of FIFA should include Greece in manager mode
I think the lack of stadiums is a disgrace (i.e) Celtic Park , Home of one of the biggest derby teams in the world, it's not there!?!?! Alos Ibrox should be there Croke Park in Ireland, maybe Lansdowne road aswell... there should be more offical competetions also! like champions league , world cup, euro championships + qualifiers..
just a thought lol
plzzzzzzzz put south african teams and absa premiership league like super sport utd,moroka swallows,amazulu fc,wits university.ajax cape town,sundowns fc. all teams and mvela golden league. plzzzzzzzz put the players hairstyle same and real dreadlocks plzzzzzzzz
in fifa 09 add in the carnegie premier league and the divisions and the stadiums (well, the parks and stuf we play on) and in the be a pro, use the madden 08 superstar career mode that would make it amazing
I want to actually be able to play at West Ham's Stadium, Upton Park in Fifa 09. FA Cup and Carling Cup perhaps?
first: i'm very content with fifa 08
but there are some things you should change and/or add in fifa 09.
i like the ideas of "legend of fifa". i wish you could play with a team like england, france or germany in the manager mode.
please make the celebrations also better.
you shouldn't forget beapro. you haven't finished this good idea. i like the idea of Kasper a lot (In be-a-pro, You start on football school or something, and get to a small club and if you play good maybe bigger clubs buy you).
you should make it also more realistic: THERE IS NO SNOW IN MAY!!!
it would be also great if you could (for example in the german "bundesliga") make friendly matches in winter (maybe even indoor!), because in germany there is a pause in winter.
you can also advance creating a player/team: when you take a player who already exists in some team, you could kind of "copy" him, for example if you want to let Ronaldinho from Barca play in your own-created team, he should also stay in barcelona AND play for my team.
in my opinion, the idea of creating own stadiums, is very good.
and it would be great, if there was diving in fifa 09. or even assaults, like an ellbow check!^^
so, i think that's it. thanks!
ADD ARMENIA IN 09
can you make the stadiums more realistic,
for example.
when you go to the Azteca stadium in Mexico.
They scream, (right when the goal keeper kicks the ball)
aahhhhhhhhhh
Puuuuuttoooooooo
please
TEAM PRACTICE MODE! I need it to practice my free kicks! This one on one v. keeper doesn't help me because there is no wall. And bring back the indicator on trade telling you how close you came to buying a player!
Also, players like Taylor Twellman in the U.S., or Landon Donoan, or Matt Reis are much better than 75 overall. Make their stats realistic like 85 like they should be.

And please add all the nations.

And please make replays viewable from the hard drive. I don't want to have to view them from that website.
Please put inquick reset like Pro Evolution Soccer has.

Please make the referees call cheap slide tackles made by the computer (when your dribbling and the cpu takes out your legs with a slide tackle and nothing is called but when you slightly nudge a cpu player you get called)

Please put Zinedine Zidane at least on a legendary team or unlockable but please just put him in the game. My friend didn't buy Fifa this year because he wasn't in the game so he's going to buy PES now.

Please fix this. When ever you take a far shot with Steven Gerrard, it always always curves out of the way especialy in the arena and it's usually a pretty weak shot, and everyone knows he has the greatest, most clutch shots in the world.

Please add unlimited create-a-player points

Please stop putting Ronaldinho on the cover. Take him off and put a different person for once. David Villa, C. Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Kaka, Gattusso, Henry, Messi, Ribery, etc.

Please add regular dreadlocks to the hair. I don't want spiked out half head dreadlocks.

Please, when you create a player, you should be able to see his face on the menu's, not just black with ayellow outline.

Please add premade faces of real people (i.e. PES has Beckenbauer, Zidane, and all of the people in the game)

Please, under stats, add a "clutch" thing just like how you have sprint speed, or jumping, add clutch. This would make players like Steven Gerrard improved under intense situations like the team is down by one and time is almost out and when he takes a shot it is an incredible shot like he has down so many times in real life.

Please make be-a-pro better by taking the player from starting off, through gettinging better in the system, making it to the pros, and eventually getting a contract to a good team (Man U)

Please, In be-a-pro, when the ball goes to defensive areas, don't zoom ou the camera so much, it makes it hard to see.

Please, for cameras like tele, be able to zoom in, not just have to switch the camera to dynamic.

Please add Create-a-Team like Fifa 07 had.

Please make the fans some what realistic.

Please don't make the achievements so impossible. Some of them are like score 8 goals with your goalie in one game with out going offsides while juggling burning bananas.

Please, add changeable fan chants and cheers like PES has.

Please, please, please add a regular practice mode. One like Fifa 07 on the PS2 had. You can take free kicks around walls, have full field scrimages, your whole team is with you, and your whole team on the goalie which I found to be fun. And if you do add this practice mode, put music in the background.

Please when you change a player's stats or appearance, please make the changes happen to he player in manager mode as well.

Please under manager mode, make there be a lot of stadium upgrades, like 12 of them, so that there will be a purpose to keep making money, (I sold Christiano Ronaldo off Man U and had enough to get all the stadium upgrades) and when all of the uprages have been purchased, add the option of building a new, revamped statium, maybe in a different place.

Please don't change the announcers, they are great and they are announcers that I loe in real life.

When you create a player, have preset names to pick from that the announcers can say while on the pitch (i.e. If i pick names for a guy that are preset into he game, like Mike Jones, the announcer will be able to say something like "And Mike Jones taking it down the line", you know, to make i feel more realistic.)

Fifa 09>PES 2009
I hope fifa09 can add all the nations, cups and leagues that registered in fifa because I think it's boring to play the same, same team again and again and again. Let's make a drastic change.

Add the 3 lower scottish divisions: 1, 2, 3 and the welsh premier league. Put polls out to fans of clubs in the game and ask them to put the 25 players they would like in the game in order of rating. GET THE POSITIONS OF PLAYERS RIGHT!! Create a game for non-league competitions in england, scotland and wales with teams like the FA Trophy, FA Vase, FA Qualifying Round and into the FA 'proper rounds'. The Highland league in Scotland and Scottish Cup qualifying rounds. Everyone elses suggestions sound ace. Going to work for EA Sports soon so may be able to put a word in ;)
also celebrations need to change.. Its the same run up and take a photo since 2005!!!! have a 5 min video or something having a ceremony or parade
i have a suggestion...DONT LEAVE THE PC BEHIND!!!!! all of the new features like the dribbling building blocks, this 'advanced gameplay' only exist on Xbox360 andPS3. Is it really that difficult for a keyboard to do the same?

also more faces! there were some new ones - but to me it down plays the game when your playing a team that all has the same type of face. Add teams like Colo Colo, Steaua Bucuresti, Dynamo Zagreb, Dynamo Kiev, CSKA Moscow, Dynamo Moscow, and Red Star Belgrade.

and yes have the seasons change! there is Euro08, WC etc. Players and coaches should get better and gain more experience by coaching a national team or being called up for a big tournament. And more than just a message in your inbox, but playable.
You should allow teams to get new kits after a year or too if they perhaps change sponsors. (ex. Real Madrid signs with Audi and decides to bring the pinstripes back, the jerseys would be slightly different and there would be Audi on the front instead of bwin.com) but what ever thats not the BIGGEST deal. the first and second things i said are the big ones

gameplay needs to be smoother. Its still choppy and not as fluid. Also you should be able to battle for the ball more instead of the same reaction to a takle (example: if Ronaldinho is getting attacked from behind and the side by 2 defenders, he should be able vie for posession and do a quick ole or something to get around.) my point is the tackles aren't realistic at all - same reaction, same choppy attack. There should also be more fouls and arguing/pleading on the pitch. I can go a full 20min game with 2 fouls!!! not realistic - and I receive big harsh slides too, but for some reason the ref only calls them sometimes.

Fifa could also use a little atmosphere. The fans are fake, the sidelines are empty. more fans wearing colors, more flags, more whistling at the ref and cheering. More flares in big games. more than 20 comentary phrases - analyze table, possible transfers etc.

you should have to warm up subs on the sideline before you can put them in (example: on team management screen in game, have 'warm up' tab instead of automatically 'substitution')

transfer season should be more rumorfull and some players should want to come to your team, and vise versa some should make known they want to leave. More club-club negotiating than just bidding.
I have a real issue atm with FIFA 08. For some reason it always tells me that both the Rangers and Celtic squad don't have enough players to sell me one of theirs. However, each team easily has about 22, 23 players on the squad.
Basically Fifa needs to pay more attention to detail, things like stadiums, crowds, lower leagues and even more control over manager mode.
The stadium issue is getting pretty serious, I'm a Celtic supporter and Celtic Park (2nd biggest stadium in the UK and the 2nd biggest club in the world) is still no on there. Neither is Ibrox for Rangers, Hampden Park for Scotland, Croke Park for Rep. Ireland, etc, etc. Its a massive shame every year when this happens, also the kits on 08 are pretty un-accurate, Celtic's keeper Arthur Boruc in the game plays in blue? I'm sorry but is silly! Thats their arch rivals colours, I'm sure this happens with other teams but come on it cant be that hard to sort out can it?
The crowds are getting worse in my opinion, their still paper thin, blocky, glitchy animations. Also the amount of flags in the crowd has gone down? In 07 their was tons of flags and it adds more feel to the game. The colours of the crowd need to be sorted out too, like corresponding fan shirt colours to the team, some scarves in there, etc.
Lower leagues need to be added such as the Scottish Division 1, 2 and 3, Bluw Square Premier (Conference) in England and leagues from other countries all around the world.
Manager mode should be even more hands on because after 2 or 3 seasons it gets kinda boring. Things like training sessions, travelling for matchs, more things like sponsership and indepth stadium management.
Other little things Fifa could do with is footballs, like different ones through the year (i.e. Winter, Summer), goal celebrations should be abit more varied and trophey celebrations should be really big and special.

Hopefully in the next few years this is what Fifa start putting in their games!
you should have an opition to drive to a game or get there coach with the players and simulate it to games if you do not want to drive
in fifa 09 have all the stadiums and when you win a cup make the celebrations a lot better
in fifa 09 they should have a winter season ball and a summer season ball e.g white and blue ball in the summer and yellow and purple in the winter and the ball colour should change every season. also you should be able to edit kits every season and make up tour own sponsor and that on them and on fifa 09 they should have all the stadiums for the leagues like the pemier league, the german league, the portuguese league and all the rest of the other big leagues (and you should be able to edit them as well in manager mode). you should also be able to be an international manager in manager mode. and the nets should be an own personal net for each stadium like for newcastle united the nets in real life are black and white and manchester uniteds are quite big and the ball doesnt bounce out of them when someone scores. and the f.a cup and the carling cup final should be played at wembley and all the scottish cup finals played at hampden park and so on... there shouls also be more leagues like the confrence! but still i think the graphics on the xbox 360 for fifa 08 are much better then fifa 08 on the the ps3 i should no ive gt both lol!!!
how do you get winter season on fifa 08 for ps3 because when it is december there is no winter. they should have more stadiums for not always some teams have the same stadium but main thing is that please can u tell me hoe to get winter season on playstation 3
at the start where you can play around with one player in the arena.. make it so that when another controller is connected you can add a player and play a bit of 1v1..
i honestly played 1on1 with that keeper for probably more hours than i actually played the rest of the game haha.. loved it
World Club Championship in season mode and international management integrated into season mode would be wicked! World Cup should be added and for more realism, how about adding referees, linesmen, fourth officials for subs, subs warming up and manager graphics on the sidelines into matchday play!
legend at fifa
i get annoyed when my home town's team i get up from legue 2 to the premiership then have to go to a different team to win other cups. You should be able to move your team around the world. Not realistic but helps alot
It bettter be good or i will just buy pro, even pro is gettin better then fifa
Since scottish football is getting better, i would like to see Rangers and Celtic having their own stadiums, and scottish cup final at hampden park.
Lower Leagues like the Conference,Conference North and south Ryman Premier and the Hellinic Division 1

Smaller International teams like :
American Samoa
Brittish Channel Islands
Malawi
Morocco
Myanmar
Nambia
New Caledonia
Nepal
Malaysia
Oman
Maldives
Samoa
Macau
Palestine
Jordan
Cambodia
Chinese Taipei
Guam
Qatar
Tonga
Puerto Rico
Antuiga
Bermuda
Barbados
And England Who somehow DID'NT Qualify for EURO 2008

In between Seasons in Manager Mode i would Like a Transfer Break and in january a chance to have transfers

Add in:
Copa America
Copa Libertadores
Euro 2012 (at that Time)
Last And Probably The Most Important of the lot THE WORLD CUP
Add the greek soccer league its a big hit and many good players play in it
legend at fifa
WHY DONT YOU PLAY AT WEMBLEY FOR THE F.A CUP?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have forgot all the good things you put on 07 like the creating a team and playing at wembley.
That soooooooooo not realistic plus you should have:
1.ALL premiership stadiums
2. Conference and legues in Russia
3. MORE international teams like sebia and montenergro or however u spell it
4. Be able to be picked as manager for the country (make it so you are picked not that you can decide them when you are 1st manager).
5. The logo should change on the kit after each season however you go with
6. Be able to change the kit for EVERY team, not just your created team (there wasn't one)
7. I like this idea. We should be able to create our OWN stadium. That would be ace however make it so the better the stadium, the more it costs
8. I like the idea of Kasper with the training stuff. U should definately add that.
9. Save the replays the way u did in 07 it was alot easier.
10. In the finals have the queen or prince harry give the winning team the trophy, with all flares going off when they lift the cup up. But before the losing team getting there medals lucking unhappy.
11. PITCH INVASIONS AND STREAKERS this would be ace!!!!!!!!
12. Have a team XI like u did in 07
13. Players graphics like 07. On my manager, it looked like rooney was carrick!!
14. Make the commentry better for lower leagues
15. Also make it slightly easier to do tricks in the game.

I must say the commentry is a huge improvement and here are the things you should KEEP:
1. The penalties
2. The pressure from defenders, it makes it alot more realistic and harder to score
3. Keep all the tricks you have so far but maybe add a few more
4. The goalies are ace keep them that way.
5. Keep the controls similar but make X button to pass, or if you dont like this idea, have different settings to have it in like 07.

I hope u can really make Fifa09 the BEST in the WORLD
FIFA 09

In be-a-pro, You start on football school or something, and get to a small club and if you play good maybe bigger clubs buy you.
;D
In fifa 09 keep be a pro mode but make it so you can have a career mode where your one player.(Including created ones) And enhance online be a pro by making 10 v 10 matches.
These mexican commentators are the worst.....they lack flare and natural passion for the greatest game......Get close and niembro, or araju and marquez from argentina those guys exude pure futbol......instead of that forced....timidness of mexican commentators
