Your Ideas for FIFA 08

Im With the guy down, if you guys could make the career mode as a manager and as a player, what i mean is creatin a player and startin a career as a soccer player, go to tryouts for teams, and earn a spot in the startin eleven!

Hi iam a fifa player since fifa 1992

Thats the most things that we want to see in fifa:

1-puttin fifa clubs world cup in the career
2-can edit position to players
3-more tactics...and can be done by shorcuts like 3 tab q=offside trap(for example)
4-make the players skill moves done easily
5-skillful and non skillful refrees...
6-can move the goal keeper to any direvtion when the shot is fired
7-make it so real..like if the match is so played so brutaly there is a small fight or some thing...
8-after each goal we want to see the faces of the 2 managers of the teams like in real..and the reaction in thier faces

and many ideas but i will enter the game again and see really what we need to see...i hope these ideas make use...and remember us u idea takers ;D

i think fifa 08 should have
-wrong offside call
-players being wrap in bandage after clash on the air
-player who being told to get of da field(injuries) asking the ref to come in
-transfer speculation in manager mode
-players get an interview after the match
-ref toss coin and we can chose head or tail b4 game

game play is not real and the image is not clear. there are a lot of square... plz do something to make the image smooth... And systems requirement is so high... the more smooth image the more requirement... While playing game, we found out a lot of formula to play... example: when we got Free kick, all we need to do is choose an angle and then press and hold shoot button to score... that's very easy ... it's not real...
Please change the background, the stadium into green color... I dislike yellow grass.... thanks for those change ..
I hope Fifa 2008 more realistic.....I used to love FIFA series game.. but now i prefer PES or WE than FIFA because it's more realistic than FIFA.....Please change these to make me love it again ....

custom soundtracks the music is terrible

I agree with John on many ideas, if not all. I would love to see a Road to The World Cup type thing added into the Manager Mode. No offense, but Manager Mode can get a little redundant after many seasons. With me being an American, I also play NCAA Football. I'd also like to see a type of game mode where you can create your own player and work his way up to the big leagues. You know, start from a local team and work your way up. For instance, my player would be from the USA, so he would start out at an MLS team. Don't allow players to be created with max abilities, but have them undergo drills to determine their ability. Then let teams offer contracts to him. If good enough, he starts, but if not, alllow players to train during their season to get better. Eventually, when they see a lot of playing time and doing exceptionally well, let him be looked at from teams from big leagues. Eventually, if World Cup thing is added, let him play for his national team if he is considered good enough. A more realistic crowd would be great compared to the cardboard cut outs. Although I hate when refs make mistakes on calls, it would give a more realistic game play. Maybe throw in snow as a weather effect.

Please add:
-ukranian league or if not atleast a few teams
-indoor soccer
-And so you can start fights with the ref.

That would be great Thanks

I think that you should allow some sort of bankroll in online play so that you can create a team to compete with online.
I also think that you should make a road to world cup.

Hi im from mexico and my ideas are

1.-the stadium Azteca be avaliable

2.- some times the public trow things in the stadium and they stay there

3.- whan a fault apear if is a bad intention the players have a litle discution or somthing like that

4.-see the ref running in the stadium and tothe other two ref wath are in the bands

5.- the i dont know how it says but in spanish is Portero sometimes hit the floor or the arc in sing of sad or smthing like that

6.- to insert the tecnics area and tecnics to

7 and the best for we the mexicans the game talked by El Perro Bermudes !!!!!

thas all for me thnks dudes

make the captain arm band tight like fifa 06

Its hard to add all these features in but this will be the best soccer game ever and sell billions of copiesss!!!!

When the ball hits the post make make the ball go a little farther

create-a-player and create a club with way more features look at winning eleven 9

Long slevees when its a cold day or rainy and short sleeves when its hot

this is what should be on the new game
1.Pre-season friendlies in career mode
2.Create-a-Team
3.Ball Selection
4.Have somthing like Match Of The Day after the match. Showing highlights.
5.Create a stadium.
6.Add the ref & linesmen.
7.Road to World Cup
8.Improve injuries (e.g Strecher or medic coming onto the pitch to look at his leg or maybe help him to limp to the touch line)
9.Improve the crowd
10.More crowd chants
11.Players warming up on the touch line
12.Hear the manager shouting on the touch line
13.Managers shaking hands at end of the match
14.When a player gets sent off maybe have a cut scene when they walk down the tunnel having a paddy, maybe kicking a few bottles on the way in anger
15.Cup celebrations (Collecting medals, recieving cup, drinking champagne out of cup maybe, team photo)
16. Half time have music over the tannoy.
17.Training as a option in the menu (Have shootouts & parcitce set pieces)
18.Weather changes during gameplay.
19.A match can get abbandoned due to water logged pitch or power cut etc.
20.Liscensing for the Champions League, FA Cup, Carling Cup & UEFA Cup.
21.Have children walk out onto the pitch with the team captains. (Team mascots)
22. Get rid of the slowdown in the menu & game that occurs very often.
23.When there is a local derby the crowd & players are more fired up, plus the ref is more alret and stirct with late tackles.
24.Season long injuries (Broken foot etc)
25.In cold weather players wear gloves & keepers wear tracksuit bottoms.
26.When it rains there should more splashes and players are more likely to slip plus the ball can suddenly stop in a puddle.
27.Weather should effect players performance.
28.Moving electronic advertising boards. (Like what Man Utd have)
29.The crowd wearing their team colours.
30.Put Holland into the game, they are a good side.
31.Edit as many players as you want.
32.Use any football boots on created players, not just rubbish EA boots.
33.Completly editable formations. Move any player to any part of the pitch.
34.Champions League music at the beggining of every CL games.
35.Try going back to FIFA 2005 using the first touch control.(It needs Improvement)
36.In Manager Mode it will be great to add National Team Managment mode, if you achive success in Club football than the Local Football Association offer you national team job.
37.More Season Highlights. (Including the world cup highlight)
38. When you create a player they should be able to call the player name.
I copy it from John because those are the thinks that should be added to FIFA 08. please try your best to have most of them in the Game please. Thanks. ps; John those are great ideas.

I think you should be able to argue cards by button mashing and such. Also, I think it would be a good idea to be able to create your own kit. Create-a-team would also be nice, especially if you could pick your own city and stadium. Leagues such as MLS were left out of the latest fifa 07 seven game because the new technology(next gen) probably took up some of the programmers time, so it is understandable. But, i would like to see those leagues again. I mean no Freddy Adu? However in fifa 05 there might have been too many leagues so a good amount (more than 5) would be greatly appreciated.
Also, i think it would be nice if you could call up players from younger teams(i.e. bring up gio dos santos or bajon krkic when they get older). As the years go on generic characters could be introduced to the minor squads.
A world cup tournament mode or something like a worldwide national cup would be incredible. It would also be nice to have a recap of the games in your league after each game. Maybe just some of the nicer goals or attempts and saves and any red or yellow cards. If this were incorporated to the game it would be just brilliant! Keep the I have seen many people request this and i would be greatly disappointed if it were not in the game.
It would also be smashing if there were something like a young footballer rising mode in which you create a player and get to put him through drills to improve his passing and shooting capabilities and such. as time goes on you could try out and play on teams and if your player became truly great things such as endorsments or movies and interviews. This idea comes from the madden American football games. I would be stunned if this were in the game. in fact i would advertise the game on every foru, possible! Please, please please have this feature in the game!




Thank you.

for god sakes put in the australian league in ,we have proved ourselves.put in a highlight show in the end showing all the matches like the news in real life, and even real interviews so you can see the player being interviewed.i like the idea of be a pro mode but you should still do what madden has done and put in a mode where you can start of in your teens and build up and you should actually be allowed to train and do drillsand sprinting and the player should be able to control all this training. and also i wish when u win the league u should see the players holding the trophy. and on the australian cover of fifa u should put tim cahill and rooneyand have awards like player of the year and golden boot.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MORE INTERNATIONAL TEAMS!!!

Have AT LEAST the same number of international teams that Winning Eleven has if not more. Omitting a number of teams that are traditionally recognized and even participated in the World Cup (including Japan) makes it hard to take the game seriously let alone buy it. In addition to all the major countries, having even more national teams, even smaller or more obscure ones, would make the game infinitely more valuable and fun.


CORRECT RATINGS

Please rate the ability of players (particular team USA) accurately - the unchanging/obsolete/inaccurate ratings for Winning Eleven is the biggest shortcoming of that series - take advantage of it.

have a player mode like ncaa. allow to build a player and go through training and reserve teams. have scottish second division.

Instead of having the career mode as the trainer, it would be great to have career mode as a player, what i mean is create your own player, with your own name and start your soccer career as a player not as the manager, that would be a good idea, also some more effects on the crowd would be great!

ref on pitch, players celebrate goals as they appear during normal gameplay!!!!!

Basically, get rid of cut screen crap!!!

The crowd should look more realistic. They should wave flags, wear team jerseys/colours and rise to their feet when their team scores a goal. I would also like to see the World Cup, tons of national teams and your created player get called up to play for his national team. Also, please add Reebok boots. The national teams of Canada, South Africa, Holland, New Zealand and the A-League and South African PSL would make my day...No, it would make my year actually!!!! Thank you.

1) Put more International Teams (Netherlands - Please please please! Canada! And lots more!)
2) Referee's (You never see the referee running around or linesmen)
3) More detailed on player's (More players, not just super stars!)
4) On create player more variety (Hair styles, Colours, Boots)
5) Match of the day kinda of thing
6) More realistic money budgets, taxes, wages, costs and all that.
7) Crowd (Chants, Graphics, Actoins)
8) Watch the team train (optional)
9) Individual training
10) Jr. Team
11) Design your own manager
12) More detailed on birth places...e.g Birth Place: Holland - Rotterdam or England - Leicester.
13) Sponsors (Man U...AIG, its on their shirt. If you choose a diffrent sponsor e.g Vodaphone...again on the shirt!)
14) Stadium options (Upgrade specific places, Hold events....)
15) Some good music, a variety.
16) Better commentary

Changes for Xbox360 and PS3 versions : : : : the referee and the 3 other assistants should be present. When there's substitutions, there should be a cut-scene with the substitutiing player next to the official alerting the Main Referee that there's a substitution being made. If a team has a new jersey, there should be something that can update the teams clothing on FIFA 08 from XboxLive or something. More Stadiums, in fact, if possible, every stadium in the world should be added, but i know thats too much to add. THERE SHOULD BE MUCUH MORE IMPROVEMENT on the AI of the goalkeeper.....on FIFA 07, the goalie usually just jumps UPWARDS instead of obviously leaping left or right.

Put the best songs of the past FIFA games on the new one

Have music playing at half-time like on NBA Live when they play the soundtracks on the game in the arena.

TROPHY PERSENTATIONS, CAUSE I HATE PUTTING IN WORK TO WIN A TOURNAMENT AND SEE THAT MICROSOFT POWERPOINT PRESENTATION WITH THE TROPHY ON IT.

Put somepeople different on the front. Not Ronaldinho all the time. Try somebody like David Villa and Sergio Ramos.
Please just make it better than the rival game (PES) and you have got my money

Xbox 360 and all other platforms;
- ALL OF THE LEAGUES THAT ARE ON THE OTHER PLATFORM VERSIONS OF FIFA 08......or more if you like.
- More licenced tournaments and trophies
- Hate to say this but make the physics of the goalnet more realistic when the ball hits it as in like (Pro Evo 6).
- Amazing Gameplay

New features such as:
*Create-a-Team - where you can customise the kit a bit more
*Harder Difficulty (that you dont have to unlock) - Legendary
*EA TRAX - You can have a poll vote on the best songs on FIFA games in the past 5 years. (Tahiti 80 - Big Day) PLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE ! ! ! !
*Mistakes - Goalkeepers spill the ball on difficult shots
- The ball bobbles on difficult surfaces
- The condition of the pitch varies throughout the season when the wheather affects the pitch and the ability to maintain it

There should be a goal of the month competion and handballs should be brought back.

PLEASE ADD INTO RUSSIAN LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI, I am a russian player in FIFA. I play in all parts FIFA. I like all parts this game. Please into the game Russan league. Thank you very mach.

08 needs to add the japanese J-league and the Australian A-league. more stadiums espeacialy for the mls,Gerrard on the cover. more voice tracks and player names being announced. cheaper to upgrade your staff, African national teams. Greece league, USL, PDL for american 2nd and 3rd divisions. and instead up being a manager, you can create a player and play only as him and try to move up the ranks.

You should be able to control the National Teams in Manager Mode.

I think more national teams should be included seeing as I want to take my home nation (Jamaica) through a competition.
I also would like for when you do very well with a club team you should get asked to manage the national team.
A more realistic transfer market too!

oh ja!
German Gottlieb daimler stadion

My Ideas:
-Always have the stadium for the current champion
-when making teams the players should stay on theor curent temas as well as on the made team
-DONT exclude any players (especially if they are playing at the current champions)
-put beckham on the US cover
-all international teams that participated in th world cup
-world cup mode
-be able to buy boots in fanshop (not xBox 360. since you already can)
-have the REAL balls, not just the replicas
-mascotts at the side lines

pleas take these into consideration
~Max

ARGENTINA LEAGUE please , is a very good leage

the chilean team and the chilean leauges
And please taha the skills of the players can be used with the joystick analog in the fifa to pc

you should have special unlocks for old players lyk bobby charlton, george best , cantona etc... that would mak game more fun when u acheive

put all the countries from the world like 2006 world cup video game and also add all the clubs,and tournaments from south america like peru,argentina,chile,paraguay,etc......and keep the ones from fifa 07

FIFA 08 WOULD BE BETTER IF U:

1. If you should put more international teams. (canada,cuba,etc.)
2. Add all the leagues in the world. (argentina,chile,etc.)
3. Make sure every leauge has its real trophy
4. Make a tournament for the international league
5. When a team won the tournament, the captain gets to hold the trophy
6. Make sure every players looks like the real player
7. Add more boots
8. More spanish speakers
9. Put more best of the league videos (mexican league,mls,etc.)
10. Put a mexican player and the cover (this time a good one like nery castillo)
11. Put more jersey numbers (100-150)
thank you for taking time and reading my suggestion and good bye

Hey thank you for a fantasik game!
I think you should change the freekicks so I can aim at the goal now its just to have luck to score. Also improve the shoes on the players and after winning a cup they should have a ceremony. When players have long hair its should bounce more. I want to dribble like ronaldinho on the game now its just to run between the players. One more time the freekicks they were wery fun in fifa 2004 and 2005 i need to see that again please. THANKS FOR THE GREATEST GAME IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!

greetings from houston....i think yall should put the gold cup tournament and other tournaments internationals not inculded in fifa 07

one thing is that if you are playing your mate in a friendly not a tornament then you should be aloud more than 3 substitutions.
another is defense must be improved, defenders should stay put when not being controled other wise they move and you have a problem, stop all that fluky long shot from the half way line when the goal for no reason what so ever is right on the egde of his box and then cant get back in time
also if you dribble right to the side of the goal right next to the goal the is hardly no gap and goaly is blocking 90% of the space all you have to do is fully blast the ball and some how it just beats the goaly at such a tight angle with out using any accuracy that close to the goal.

There must to be a top list of most beauty goals.
I'm agree that there is very hard to learn computer to make the choice what goal is most beauty.
That's why I offer to use next algorithm.
The level of beauty goal calculates as sum of several criterions:
1. Distance to goal (then the distance is bigger then this criterion have more points)
+
2. Combination =
2.1.players count (many different players -> more points)
+
2.2.quickness (much quickly -> more points)
+
2.3.fints (more extraordynary fints -> more points)
+
3. Goal importance (much value from game result -> more points)
+
4. Ricochet from the bars (touch of the bars -> more points (it's very beauty))
+
5. Cleanness (the defenders and keeper can't touch the ball -> add points)
+
6. Filigree (then the ball cross the line farther from centre and nearer by the bars -> more points)
+
7. Complication of shoting position.
+
and some others...

Referee's to make mistakes like:

Onside when off (vice verser)

Dives

No goal given when ball might have crossed the line

Though Chinese national team is not famous,being a Chinese,I wish EA could pay more attention to my national team,from 98 to 07,the players's faces never belong to them.And their names is not mentioned in the game play.For there are only 40-50 national teams in FIFA game,you should pay more respect to them! They represent a nation and the fans in their country! If EA want to be the most true football game,he should mind the details!Not just to add somethings new but not useful.

this is what should be on the new game
1.Pre-season friendlies in career mode
2.Create-a-Team
3.Ball Selection
4.Have somthing like Match Of The Day after the match. Showing highlights.

lower league players' names are called out. able to change kit and sponser in manager mode. more realistic crowd. referees on pitch. more realistic transfer market. able to design your own stadium for your created team. ALL international teams e.g Holland. international U21 teams.
