Your Ideas for FIFA 08

Goalkeepers should also have cards.

In Fifa 08 there should be at least 2 divisions for every country like for example the turkish league if you play it in manager mode the teams never get relegated so u play with the same teams every season.

There should also be a referee on the pitch at all times! not just when a foul is comitted! and there shoud also be linesman in the game who correctly hold up the flag when a player is off side! players should also look less cartoony and more real! and celebrate there real life celebrations eg lampard kisses his ring! and the likes of kaka and messi u should be able to actualy play like them- tricks, turns, extreme speed, and for the slower players they should be visbly slower! thanks

Ok where to start

AI Players!!

I dont know about anyone else but ive had anough of the current ability of the AI players, i am sick and tired of having my own team mates walk in my way, intercept passes that werent even ment for them (usually leading to opponent getting the ball) and generally getting in the way!

Replays!!

When was it decided to remove the ability to save replays, because this was one of the worst decisions ever made!!! It would be great to actually be able to save goal replays and also another nice feature would be the ability to save goals from online matches? Also the replays shown after the 1st half and the overall match replays seem to be very random, I was playing in a game the other day where I scored 2 goals in the first half and had a lot of goal mouth action but during the replays all it decided to show was a few poor challenges that resulted in free kick, not exactly what I would say is in dire need of a replay?

GoalKeepers!!

Far to protected and unreal. Their is no uncertainty in the keepers, 50:50 balls, corners that are a mm to close to the 6yard box, they collect them everytime without bother, may aswell put the controller down and have a drink! How bout making the keepers more real, this would mean that their ability to collect 50:50 balls and corners would heavily rely on their skill level and the conditions of the match?

Pushing!!

Another of the worst decisions of the game, whoever decided that pushing would be a "Feature" within the gameplay of the latest edition needs their head examining?? with the rules around body contact in football becoming more and more strict why was a legal push introduced into the game, it just makes no sense to me!

The Free Play Feature:

I love the free play feature added in the latest adition where you can choose a player and then run around in the half having shots etc etc it has really improved the one boring load time, but i think this really needs to be expanded upon in the next edition, perhaps the ability to have more players so you can do corners and other team based moves?

I probably could write more but overall Fifa 07 was a great game and pulled me over from Pro Evo whichout a second thought. Hope the next edition improves on all the things mentioned not only in my post but in all the posts before me!

The crowd should clearly sing/ chant the home and away team songs! and should wear the correct colour shirts that the team is playing in, not just all grey and also the crowd should get up and celebrate and cheer at the right times!!

i agree with luka..

it would be cool if you have smaller leagues in the smaller countries like " norwegian adecco league" or "the greecian league" and "the argentinian league".

1. When you win a tournament team should celebrate and you should see the medals being awarded to the referee,linesman and 4th official then the losers and then the winners.And finally the cup and firework.
2.Crowd need to cheer not sit in their chairs like in theater.
3. Add African league.
4. In the end of every game pronounce a player of the game.
5. Also have the champions league.
6. Goalkeepers should have injuries.
7. Real referee like Markus Merk, Graham Pool, Colina, not some bold guy without name.
8. Penalty shots in the training mode.

it would be nice if the teams you make on "the create club" can have actual sponsors like nike. and put the emblem on the shirt...

also i want to be more styles of the celebrations after scoring a goal , also i want if the player played the ball after the wistle the player take a yellow card

In new game fifa, it would be time to founders to reflect already on fans, I have in view of, that fans in stadiums very much not real, a shame, like game has greater popularity in America and in the Europe, it is more than NHL, but even there already fans though as that to people are similar, reflect!

i think that there must be friendly matches inside the manager mode before the new season begins , also there must be practise also in the manager mode , and since i am egyptian i want the team [al ahly] to be in the world cup of the clubs please i want also to be more dummy moves and more style moves

add croatian league clubs like HAJDUK SPLIT and dinamo zagreb in rest of world

Why to not create trainers of commands as well as players, I have in view of their appearance and a manner of behaviour, style of the trainer?

Dear founders, good idea to make so, that at players would be the present photos as it have made in nhl-07 thanks)

Dear founders, please, make so, that all football players would have present football boots, Nike, Adidas, Umbro, still more some the present models of Thanks big!

I think that new FIFA must have career for one player. So every who can't be professional player can be part of FOOTBALL. Player rules only himself on the field, choose club and contract. It will be "football's RPG".

I would like to have international career in fifa 08 or fifa 09, why don't you make international career with EuroCup, World Cup, American Cup?

Fifa 07 is great but needs South African National team and league!!
and Champions league, on fifa 08.
thanks
Tay!

There should b a russian league

pls make (all) players realistic, not just some.
and South Africa has a league 2, and a national team , if you dont know!!!!!

1. ok fifa 07 on xbox 260 was rubish i've bought fifa's since i was fifteen years old and now im 22 .this years was just all wrong the fans ,GAMEPLAY,and boots

2.better stadiums like the city of manchester stadium
3.better gameplay, you cant play like ronaldinho,kaka,rooney on the game its rubbish
4.must have more league's like argentina,mls,spl an CHAMPIONSHIP,LEAGUE 1,2
5.better boots to unlock like nike vapours
6.also nearley every team in the premiership had that same foreign stadium on xbox 360 it was rubish
7.better graphics.really cnt complain about that because it normally gets better every year
8.have real refs like uriah renny and collina like pes
10.better camera views have 1 likegears of war that would be good
11.have £ or $ not 1000 points thats rubbish

please make fifa 08 good or for once i will switch to pes 2008

hello i would like to first of all thank you for making these games ilove them!!!!!
for the next fifa i would like the Argentine league to be in it. also that you get yellow cards for not doing anything so you can win. another thing is seeing the referee. also that when a team becomes the champion that you see them run around the stadium. another thing that you see the manager giving orders to the players. and lastly that when you make a team not only do you choose the color of the shirt but also of the shorts and socks. I know it would take a lot of time and what not but I think it is worth the wait! if you do all this i would be so thankful, so pleas, please do it. thank you!!!!!!

have better boots like nike vapours for when create your own player.
also have better graphics and game play , its just not write you cant really play like ronaldinho and kaka do in real like , on the game.
also have lower english league's like league 1 for xbox 360
over the last few years its dissapointed me

hello i just wanted to first of all thank you for making these games i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what i would like to see in the next fifa is that it has the argentine league, get yellow cards for making time so you can win and not score goals. also i would like to see the champions of a league or cup run around the stadium. and finally that you can see the manager giving orders to the players. I know it is a lot to do but it is worth the wait.
thank you !!!

make more goalia animations .
put white hart lane on the game.
put formation were you want like pes.
pt optional cheats on it.

have a-league

Hi,
I'm a buyer of fifa 07 and it is a great game - i especially enjoy Manager Mode! I am writing from Australia and I would like to request that fifa 08 and subsequent versions have a few improvements - some of which you may well have already addressed.

As an Australian, there isn't much I can do with my Australian players. Apart from Kewell, Viduka, Cahill, Neill, Schwarzer and Co. at big name English clubs, I can't manage some of the younger boys who play for Australian clubs. While i find it exciting to manage Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid etc., I can't relate to them as well as I can to the Melbourne Victory or Sydney FC from Australia who are currently chasing the likes of ex-Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler, Dutchman Philip Cocu and have had big name strikers Dwight Yorke and Brazilian Fred signed at their clubs. A-League (our Australian League) club Adelaide United this year qualified for the equivalent of the UEFA Cup for Asia. So its not as if our league is small and insignificant. I recognise you need to have most appeal to Asia and Europe where EPL is very big but it would also be nice to adopt a "World View" approach that saw smaller leagues. Would it be too hard to ask that for future editions of the game, that you include the Australian national league - the A-League as well as perhaps even the second-tier league as is with German and Spanish leagues.

Also I find it hard to believe that Asian champions, Japan, don't get a guernsey! There needs to be more international leagues and teams such as Japan, Iraq, New Zealand etc. - more of a world wide balance. I can't see how teams like Northern Island and Wales are part of fifa 07 when Japan isn’t!!

Another thing I would like to see as an improvement would be that you could have a visual sim of the game but actually watch it as you do when you are playing - a broadcasters view and still be able to interrupt at any time.

Another thing is I’m not sure how to do tricks, such as lane change, flick ball up etc. with a controller (a USB one similar to XBOX or Playstation controllers). Could you enlighten me please? Even on keyboard they are extremely touchy and difficult. Perhaps next edition could include instructions telling you controls with controllers not just keyboard and making them easier to use.

One frustrating thing with the game is the amount of time it takes to save. It will ask you, "do you want to save" and you say yes, then you type name you want it saved as. Then it says "do you want to overwrite saved game?" and you say yes. Then it still says, "Save complete which I feel is unnecessary and a frustrating waste of time when my computer struggles to run the game.

I would also like to be able to do a Custom Formation where, if your team has a formation different from the ones available, then you could make up your own ones. Like a 3-3-2-2 or a 6-3-1 if you wanted that. That would be cool!

I would like it if players were researched individually and their skills and adaptions were real. Example: Brett Emerton from Australia usually plays at right-back, but according to FIFA 07 his real position is right-wing-midfield and he can’t “adapt�. Put at right back, he is only 59 instead of 75 or so in midfield - but for Australia, he can play both equally well. So I would like it if research was done and then really he would maybe be 70 or 72 at RB instead of 59.

Players still don’t look like who they really are – with only big name stars as exceptions – namely Ronaldinho, Rooney, Beckham, Kaka, Messi etc. and the crowd is appalling. They still look like they have been drawn by hand and are 2-D which is so unrealistic. The crowd noises are fantastic though.

Lastly i would like to request that you take a more detailed view on scouting. I did an internet search on some young up and coming British and Spanish players - aged between 14 and 17 who were nowhere to be found on the fifa 07 database of ALL players. It would feel more 'real life' if you had up to date and extremely detailed scouting with players that are actually going to be stars of the future. With that I include researching Australian youngsters too so I can manage perhaps a second tier Australian Club and nurture them to international level. While some of my request maybe difficult to do, if you can make ball control so good and other great aspects of the game, surely this isn’t too difficult. After all, with the prices we are paying for the game, profit can’t be an issue for EA Games and as game makers it is your job to make the game how the gamers want it. Public Demand is important

Overall the game is excellent and I recommend it to anyone while commending you guys on such a great job.

Thankyou for reading this letter and I truly hope to get a positive reply, and also look forward to seeing my recommended improvements hopefully in FIFA 08 but perhaps FIFA 09.


Yours very sincerely,



Josh Dye

Australia

itll be kool if the goalie would get injered

well i would like to have the singer from each region like if ur in usa have justin timberlake,yisin y yandel.fergie,akon or snoop dog,not like that japenese crap,ohh and more ,stuff for psp,like,create ur stadium,ur team.player ,celebration,ohh and please if u can all the MLS stadiums or at least crew stadium,put more better toyota park,itll b also kewl,to have a mode to be internationl manager,and when the world cup comes up to vote for ur favorite country to host the cup,and a mode to be only one player either a created player or an original,player ohh and one more thing well 2 more
1st plz have the new chivas stadium or the jalisco i mean chivas is the most popular team in the north americaalso have all the respective cups for each region
and the upcoming super liga cause u get bored just playing the mls

The Argentine, Japanese, and Greek leagues should be added. Also, a game mode should be added where you create a player and bring him from a youth player to a legend with clubs and national teams.

i think a carreer mode would be real cool like start out as nothing try to earn a spot on the reserves and from the reserves to the starting team, i think a mode like that could really put this game on top as the best football game in the world

i think there should be some sort of mode where you create yourself and you start out by signing with a lesser known team and then move up the ranks once you get better and get offers from better teams

1.You can see the referee.
2.Real referee`s like Uriha Rennie,Rob Styles,Dermot Gallagher and Collina.
3.Different commentators in different countrys.
4.Act like there is a F.A blimp so you can see the stadium from 9-1500 feet on Champo League final night.
5.Longer pitches.If you are a weaker team and you are playing united in the cup you need more space to pass the ball around and waste time.
6.Current scores come up in the corner like in the World Cup game.
7.Match of the day!!!!! If it cant be hosted with a load of crap jokes at least have a select menu where you can choose which match you want to watch either in full or highlights.
8.Referee`s make the wrong decisions in really important matches.
9.You can see the managers giving out changing tactics or giving out to the ref.
10.Expose the keepers to the game so they can get booked and injured just like the strikers.
11.In manager mode you should be able to announce your resignation.
12.Be able to release players in manager mode,all your able to do is put them up for sale or give them away on loan.
13.When you win a tournament you should see the medals being awarded to the referee,linesman and 4th official then the losers and then the winners.And finally the cup.
14.Sometimes the crowd should sit down and the away fans should be cut off from the home ones.

I think more sponsors should be included and it should show which sponsor you choose on the shirt.

I'm sure this has been requested already, but FIFA 08 really needs the Argentinian league!
More stadiums! Stadio San Paolo which is the 3rd largest in Italy would be great!
More fan chants specific to clubs.
Bring the World Cup tournament back and have qualifiers and such throughout the regular club season with the national team that the player chooses.

Add the South African League and national team to FIFA 08.

I think it'd be really cool to have a superstar mode like in madden but for soccer. I dont have fifa 07 so i dont know if its in that one but if it isnt i think it should be in 08. and i think you should still make it for ps2 since ps3 isnt backwards compatible. And some cool 1 on 1 matches in soccer would be cool

please add the MLS! They are good teams for people who like to start a career with a team who needs improvement. And FIFA has to have Beckham!

I think there should be all star games and in reg season matches there should be time when certain player cant play beacuse of international calls and i belive there should be international friendlies in reg seasons and allstar games

i want the fans to be more color and if the away team is good that their fans go to and more chants by team

the keepers saves should be more realistic, the keepers in 07 all are bugeed, the free kick in 07 is very easy to score,.. even when you are far away, it should be harder, i dont understand why a player shoot faster the ball when he is running fast.. i can shoot better the ball when im not running, sometimes the player shoot the ball when its completly impossible, the keeper can kick the ball from his goal to the other keepers goal.. who can do that?.. i think that ea should fix lots and lots of bugs of fifa 07.

- To include the Premier league Russian
- To include the Lokomotiv stade
- To include but European equipment of diverse countries like Rumania, Czech Republic, Greece, Ukraine, Hungary and other countries of the east
- To include the Stade de France
- To include to Zidane and other legend and power to play with them in way to mannager
- To include but African, European, American and Asian selections
- To include but liberating South American equipment and cup libertadores
- To include but years in way to mannager
- That the players of the selections can be filed like free players
- That can be looked for by countries in the way to mannager to the players
- To be able to dismiss players half of season or to any day
- To create but of two equipment
- To create a league to play in way to managger
- But estimated in equipment of less stars
- To have the Jalisco stade, La bombonera, Allianz arena

It will be very cool to have a Player Carrer. Create the kits and create boots. Please put the "Bombonera" and all the new kits.

Fifa 07 is very popular in Argentina, but some people don´t like it because our national league isn´t in the game. There is only Boca Juniors and River Plate. I would love to have argentinian clubs on Fifa 08, please put that league in the game. And it will be bery cool to put more stadiums.

I think that you should a the A-league and the international squads need to be fairly sized, squads like england and Brazil have large squads than Australia and Wales. Also the keepers need to be more realistic, because they seem to save everything no matter how good you strike the ball. lastly it would great to have better fan interaction during game play, like louder cheers for the players like, booing players they hate on other teams and have team chants

I think the new game should have the australian a-league, everyone in australia who plays the game already want it, and the people who know less about the game in this country don't know of much outside of the A-LEAGUE AND THE NATIONAL SIDE, which reminds me, can we please have the national teams of ghana, cote dívoire, and all the other african teams put onto the game, the fact that these teams qualify for the world cup the year before the game is made and still don't get included is rubbish, and ghana progressed in the world cup. liverpool should be the best team in england with torres.

Hey, i recently played fifa 2007 on xbox 360 and here are my suggestions for improvements

1. Like most people said more stadiums and leagues are needed this could include The Championship

2.Shimmies ( Tricks ) there was none in the 360 version.

3.Longer injuries every time i got injured the person was injured for a week only.

4.A bigger selection of boots maybe add the real types like Nike, Adidas and Puma etc.

5.Improving the game play every time to people would run at the ball both of them would suddenly just stop.

6. It would be fun if you were a Ref or something.

7. This idea is stupid but it would make the game alot funner if you were able to dive.

The Greek league should be in the game
