  1. 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.

  2. 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 …

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

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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 …

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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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!!!

  12. ARGENTINO: Every fifa game comes n go ‘s n i dont see alot of leagues in the game.
    they should put on more teams like the argentine league!!!!!!

  13. I would like if they could put they Argentinian leagues and other southern leagues ex: mexico, argentina, chile, peru, n more!

  14. I would like you to add the international cups to the manager mode. What’s the point in having the international teams if you can’t use them in manager mode.Also you can add all the international teams, if you’re gonna put international teams you got to put all of them in there. And you must add the leagues from Argentina and Japan. You also must add all the Americas club tournaments. You also need to add snowy weather that accumulates. And when it rains make the pitch slippery with the possiblity of player injuries. You also need to improve on injuries, make it so injured players can leave the pitch and if they’re not seriously injured they can return to the match.

  15. to become the best in fifa2007,graphic should be more than current,& u should add the new teams from iranian club & add the tournament, the dribbles of some of the best player like ronaldinho,kaka,cannavaro,robinho,totti,………………………………..
    drebbles should be original.
    the futsal should be add and the tournament for that.
    if u do this u can improve the fifa2007 more than previous years
    i think the best fifa game is fifa worldcup 2006.

  16. I think that really good idea for next fifa is more cups like championship league uefa cup intertoto cup and then world cup european cup… in my opinion quite important part of football is crowd… because you know you are playing with england that the fans are really fantastic but maybe somewhere in macedonia are crowd so good…

  17. Im a really big fan of FIFA, and for me it wasnt important how de gameplay or other details was, i just enjoyed playing fifa, then i played pes :). ea has a lot to do to make fifa better then pes… first… there is the most important gameplay… you must create a new gameplay and physics becouse the old one looks like it is from fifa 98 (wich was the best fifa, but shes to old)
    Then there`s the referee and the linsman… they shoud do somthing beside running and watching the ball… then there`s the training witch shoud look a bit more like the training on pes… and you coud put training in the manager mode so that young player can improve faster. Then there`s the crowd, PLEASE make them more realistic, yust make them more like humans not like som stickers sticked on the seats that can (i don`t really know how) jump!!! The music is great in any fifa and i woudn`t change anything in this. Then there are the moves of the player, please add some new moves that we can enjoy to with a player beside sprinting past the opponent! And there is are the abilityes of players, like shoting passing and other…. for instance, you shoud put new moves with progress of dribbling or new passes with progress of passing… Thats my ideas…

    FIFA FAN 4 EVER! FEAR

    P.S.: Becouse im from Croatia it woud be nice to pot the Croatian league to Fifa 08 😉
    CROATIA RULEZ!!!

  18. Throw players from country’s that are not in the game into a free agents pool so that the user can make his own team but with the players of that country even the bad players. Because in ’07 u guys don’t have a lot of country’s for example Bosnia and Herzegovina i created the team but i am missing some vital players that are either not in the game with there teams or they aren’t at all in the game created so i please u guys to make a player pool from which user can make country’s that aren’t in the game.

  19. =====================================================================
    Cont from above.. OUR IDEAS FROM INDIA [After viewing FIFA07]
    =====================================================================
    (16) ROUNDING THE KEEPER TO SCORE:
    ————————————————————————————————————————-
    I can do this in Pro evo easily and it is so so realistic.. Y cant i do it in fifa..? I feel disappointed with EA.. [We are EA Fans] U have got the best resources.. Please use them.. And please… atleast match the elegance of Pro Evo..
    ————————————————————————————————————————-
    (17) BIOMETRICS NOT SEEN FROM TELE CAM [ANGLE ALTERATION]-: [ Very essential] :
    ————————————————————————————————————————-
    We feel that fifa07 is aweome when viewed in a more close up angle using free cam.. The player movements are really wonderful.. But when i shift to TELE cam i find it is not that attractive.. But in PRO EVO TELE cam’s position is cool.. I can see the player’s biometrics clearly even in that position of cam.. But in fifa when i very closely zoom only i find the biometrics clearly.. We feel tele cam is very high and no zoom.. Even thou it is adjustable in game.. It is still not attractive.. Please position the TELE cam like the cameraman’s angle in most television matches.. Provide the needed zoom.. Make it realistic..
    ————————————————————————————————————————
    (18) LOOK AT THE BOOTS OF PRO EVO 6:
    ————————————————————————————————————————-
    We felt that fifa 07 boots were really good.. BUT.. When we saw the in game videos and screenshots of Pro Evo[PC] we were amazed.. What realistic boots!!! AWESOME…. Real authentic boots.. Such detail… Reworking on the boots is badly needed for FIFA…
    ————————————————————————————————————————–
    (19) TURFS VERY BAD IN FIFA07: [DONT MESS EM AGAIN IN 08 PLS:]
    ————————————————————————————————————————–
    Please dont mess with the turf like this in future.. Very bad turfs.. Eventhou your idea of whthering of the turf in certain areas is cool.. MAKE EM REALISTIC!!! U can clearly see the turf’s ending texture in the midfield and is again repeating.. MAKE REALISTIC “”GREEN”” TURFS PLS.. Go and have a look at the patch makers[non official] turfs for fifa07.. Is really really good.. If the patch makers itself can… WHY NOT EA developers??
    ————————————————————————————————————————–
    (20) CROWDS BEFORE MATCHES:
    ————————————————————————————————————————–
    The crowds before matches should be more lively.. Like u must have seen… The fans moving a big shirt of the club or national flag upwards.. And lighting Red flames n all.. N make most of the fans in crowds wear team jersey..
    —————————————————————————————————————————
    (21) KITS..
    ————————————————————————————————————————–
    The Kits can be reworked from first and be made more realistic..? Such as the kits swaying in the air[especially the shorts] ….? And some players play with their shirt out.. Players like MESSI sometimes Ronnie.. Can U pls start making a revolutionary new KIT engine…?
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    22.) CINEMATICS OF PLAYERS CHANGING JERSEYS AFTER MATCH
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    23.) COOL FREE KICK SYSTEM OF FIFA 05 MUST BE REUSED…
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    24.) THE LINESMAN
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    The Linesman’s direction of looking is always at the ball, even the ball is out of the pitch. He also does not rise his flag up when the ball is out and he keeps looking at the ball and turns in an unrealistic manner and does not raise flag when offside happens and etc.
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    (25) MORE VIDEO’s IN GAME
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    Add more videos in game such as highlights, all time legend goals, historic final goals etc.. I wonder why spanish and french and italian highlights were missing in FIFA07..
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    (26) ATTRACTIVE PIC BACKGROUNDS/NEW MENU LAYOUT DESIGN FOR FIFA08
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    Fifa 08 needs a new style of menus.. The slide own menus that u have been implementing right from FIFA06 is getting bored with.. Please dont use the same menu design and animations every year.. MAKE IT A MORE ATTRACTIVE NEW DESIGN FOR FIFA08..
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    (27) PLAYERS LEAVING PITCH AFTER MATCH -BAD IN FIFA07,06: change needed
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    In FIFA the players leaving the pitch is very unrealistic.. In the last screen in fifa07 and 06 shown after match..[zoomed out cam] after match in which u can see all players moving out of the pitch all of a sudden[like they’re running out from each position is very unrealistic] Home team players must stay and wave to crowds if they’ve won and sit down on the pitch itself after match for sometime.. In that ZOOMED out camera in both FIFA06, 07 is really bad.. Change the cinematics after match..
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    (28) REALISTIC OFFSIDES / STOP PLAY
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    When caught offside dont immediately stop play.. Let the play continue as if the player has not heard the whistle and then stop play [say after scoring from a very keen position] and then show ref cnematics having flag raised and give offside…
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    Many more suggestions to come from us……

  20. I think that FIFA 08 should have more faces, and the creation mode should be more complete (more detailed parts of the face, body, boots, own logos, jerseys, like in PES, ecc).
    The graphics for xbox360 is GREAT! You should do the same for PC
    TNX 🙂
    FORZA INTER
    MILAN SUX

  21. – First I woluld prefer to have another commentor in German for example (Belà Rethy or Marcel Reif), it would be more enjoyable, because they are the best!!!
    – Then there should be more chances to improve a player (good example is Anstoss 2007).
    – The keeper should also get the red card too.
    – There should be more Fans Atmosphere (The supporters should scream out the name of their favourite team).
    – A new game engine would not be bad, because since 2003 all FIFAs look the same, just some little graphic improves.
    – More player faces!!!
    – There should be a scorer table, with the best scorers of the league, with assists and goals.

  22. * Please, get some more animations in the game.
    * The crowd should have the real team jerseys, players exchanging jerseys would be really cool.
    * Women’s teams also it not a bad idea.
    * Better celebrations.
    * Wicked fans invading the field, and the police after them.
    * Each league should have commentors on their native language.

    I will send more ideas later. Thanks.

  23. My suggestions for FIFA 08:

    1. Scoring direct from corner kicks goals.
    2. Coach interaction (umpire can issue yellow cards to them).
    3. Stretchers and bandaged players returning to game.
    4. Players exchanging shirts at the end of the game.
    5. More imaginative goal celebrations (shirt over head, dancing at corner pole).
    6. Goalie cheating in PK’s / Wall cheating in direct kicks – sometimes carded by umpire.
    7. Diving/Faking for umpire calls – Soccer is half theater, so put it in the game.

  24. I want “better and intrinsic shot ” and “authority to mutate players positions” in new fifa.
    thank you!

  25. I think the graphics have improved a little and also the new league is good but can you make an easier league cause not all of us have online play.

    The shots are good but need to be more accurate and harder, and the the crosses they are not that good.

    I am now sick of the boots, they are so bad and every thing in create mode sucks, so please do some thing to improve it and also the create a club, there are little thing there so put more, like create stadium, locker room, refferee etc.

    There should also be more leagues like Champions League, Curling Cup, F.A Cup and other more.

    Another I had before that fifa 07 is going to be like fifa 2006 World Cup but its not first it does not have the teams in world and the shoes and also more things in the fun shop also to be allowed to buy songs.

    Oh I almost forgotten make the next fifa earlier.

    Also faces should be like the ones in Fight Night, in Fight Night the hair can move as the player is moving and even the clothes, the should also show some movement.

    And show football for a player in young age like 10 year until the future.

  26. I loved FIFA 98 and 99 because you could still beat the goalie from the half way line now and again!!!! In real life comedy goals are priceless…and at MK Dons we’ve had a few of those :@)

  27. The gameplay of the game is horrible…it looks like all players have same range of skill, if you watch a little on your rival konami and pro evolution soccer you can see that there are huge difference between players for skills, so work on that primary……and you should give players photo, like when you click on a player to see his skills there should be a photo of him, it would give a nice touch to the game…..

  28. Allow the computer players (especially goalies) to make mistakes from time to time – not too often but enough for realism (and fun). Also to allow the goalie to be fouled…

  29. it is good ta play as a player in the game and see from the eyes of the players in the field like a real match

  30. 1. What dou you think about making a possibility of fake-freekick, when one striker runs and jumps over ball and the second hits?

    2. Sometimes I need a really strong quick pass, I can’t do it in Fifa07 – all the passes are too weak.

  31. I think, the game needs youth tournaments for international teams. I mean, that each player should have an opportunity to watch how play for youth teams young players of his club. It is important for creation of a team. So you have a chance to create a command on the future, instead of to buy up huge quantity of stars…

  32. Bueno se me olvidaba y ya por ultimo me encantaria que en versiones futuras el juego fuera más real ya que el 06 y 07 no lo son tanto y menos el 07, creo que en ese detallo el mejor de todos es el copa mundial 06 una combinación de los 3 con lo mejor quedaria excelente bueno eso digo yo porque no tengo ni idea d e como se hace un juego pero como se que ustedes son unos genios para eso estoy seguro que lo podran lograr. Gracias otra ves y reciban un cordial saludo y una sincera felicitación

  33. Que tal he visto ke todos escriben en ingles y donde queda el español pues aqui esta, pues he visto que en el fifa 07 esta mal el calendario de la liga mexicana ya que no va en el mismo orden que el calendario mexicano y como ingrediente o dicho de otra forma lo que seira la cereza en el pastel para los tan excelentes juegos fifa seria que se pudiera jugar las rondas finales de la liga mexicana despues de terminar las temporadas calificando a la liguilla para luchcar por el campeonato y no se campeón solo por habver terminado en primer lugar en la temporada. Muchas gracias por la atención al presente mensaje y muchas felicitaciones por el buen trabajo que hacen con los excelentes juegos.

  34. In my opinion you MUST make fans and suppoters. Football is game for people who camming to the studium and sped their money nad time too. In your game we see something but not suppoters. If you change this situation you see that game would be much better than now. And please don’t forget about Russian Primier League. Thank you.

  35. yeah..! EA Sport’s Team

    I want that you put me in ‘the pro-player’s eyes’!! and put a Star Mode & also a DT Mode.
    I play New Star Socccer too and was great.. (even with that graphics).

    but what i was thinkin’ before a read ‘the last ones’ is that i was playing the Manager Mode and i observed that i can change player’s physics, i can put ‘hi socks’ to Zanneti like he use to do.. i thougth that u would fix that to FIFA 07..

    shame

  36. 2 things!!

    a “Player Carrer Mode”, were you pick a player and play “only” with that player like “New Star Soccer”.
    an a “DT Carrer Mode”, were you will be a DT “only”, were you can set tactics and that.. but you can use your players
    and of course our “Regular Carrer Mode” (this one that we are using now, Manager Mode)

    Carrer Mode -> Manager Mode (regular mode, the one that we know)
    -> Star Mode (player’s carrer mode)
    -> DT Mode (DT’s carrer mode)

    — cheers

  37. it is good ta play as a player in the game and see from the eyes of the players in the field like a real match

  38. I have two offers and all of them concern career.
    1. When choose the sponsor for a team it(he) only pays money and all. Would be not bad if the changes of the sponsor were reflected in a team. For example change of an inscription on the form or it(her) Ñ‘ complete changes. The player himself chooses from the variants, offered to it(him).
    2. When in корьере play for one team all seasons it becomes boring and not interestingly. One and таже the form the same persons. Why the player for 6 years of game in the given team has not changed never hairdress or has not brought up a moustache or beard. I think if the players will change little bit appearance it will give to game a new highlight. You will tell who that for example Zdane the image never for career did not change. I offer зделать so: At each player to enter in attributes one Ñ?торочку and to name somehow well ” change of image ” and characteristic. 0 – does not change, 1 – alternate years, 2 – time per one year, and so on. I think these changes would bring in game individuality to each player, and as all to a team in целои.
    P.S. A thank also excuse for mine English.

  39. I think the idea of having superstar mode is the best … but no hall of fame cuz FIFA doesnt have a hall of fame … also maybe u can do a button of retaiation like the zidane thing … but wat I would looooooooove to see in the next fifa is for sure the superstar mode … u start off with a couple of try outs as you are a 18 year old and a team picks u up and u play for them and get sponsored and get national duties as well … your goal is basically win the World Cup or the UEFA Champion League and maybe EA can expand on that cuz right now MADDEN is dominating the EA games just for there little superstar mode and i think if fifa comes up with it it wudd be a big hit for sure!

  40. Player should be out for international games and injury in some of the games.
    The player’s Moral should be change in home or away matches and yellow or red cards.

  41. Cont…. Our ideas from india
    =====================================================================
    SIGNING ” SHIRT SPONSOR CONTRACT ”
    =====================================================================
    Keep an option in manager mode to change shirt sponsors [A seperate contract like form for this, negotiating and selecting our choice of shirt sponsor which offers best contract conditions]

    \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
    INFO TO GAME DEVELOPERS:
    Shirt sponsors in FIFA games are actually like pictures which are layered over the players shirt.. Right? [FIFA game developers know this..] In fifa 2002 they made a mistake by combining the shirt sponsor picture along with the shirt.. so the sponsors name also stretched when the player lifted his arms.. This was very unrealistic n bad.. So U developers guys changed it in later versions..

    Now what i come to say is if i sign a seperate contract for shirt sponsor.. U guys will be having the pics within the game right.. Show them by the side and let a user select his team’s shrt sponsor contract.. Then u just change the shirt sponsor [layer of picture over the Kit.. [lesson from fifa2002]

    So u just assign a different sponsor picture over the kit of the team…

    HOPE GAME DEVELOPERS get my idea above and do this…
    =======================================================================
