Sell players and buy players to other online gamers !!! IT WILL BE FANTASTIC GAME!
Low powerful shots!
Ref and Lines men on pitch!
Better free kick controls!
- Kit expires create a new one
- 10/10 prestige get the option to manage your country
- Youth Academy
- Franchise similair to NFL
- More stadiums, i felt like the 360 version was cheated out a little bit
- Real names for european cups (Uefa Cup, Champions League)
- You choose how much a players worth when selling him
- Offer players in exchanges as well as cash
- Create a stadium
- Create a team
- When creating shirts for created team have real manufacturers (Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro etc)
- Option to change colour of boots
- Created teams get to wear sponsors and club badge on their kit
- Option to edit created players and end of the season
- International matches (world cup qualifiers, euro qualifiers, african cup of nations) some clash with league matches so make those players unavailable
- Free kicks need to be edited, i can't seem to curl it up and over the wall just either straight into it or miles over the bar
- Longer lasting injuries like couple of months or rest of the season rather then (he's bruised his toe he will miss a match)
- Longer time in the transfer windows to buy players, if i'm in the prem i get 4-5 matches to bid for my players and get them if not i have to wait till jan which is again like 4-5 matches.
- More available youth players
- CB's go up for corners/free kicks
If some/all these changes are made then i would be more then happy to purchase Fifa 09 :) Good luck EA
2.add more international teams
3.add champions league
change sponser on shirt
more clubs leagues and intenational clubs with lincensed kits and players
1. players should be realistic and there actions should also be more realistic
2. in fifa 08 evra can cacth ronaldo this is so unreal. pay more attention to player stats and abilitys.
3. more enphasis on ABILITY. certain players are better at certain things, make this clear and visable in the game. e.g outside of the foot shoot and cross by quresma. Gerrad and other power players should have there special abilitys easy to see
4. improved shooting techniques and goal animations e.g outside of the foot shoot and cross. Gerrad and other power players should have there special abilitys easy to see
5. improve player mobility like agility and physique.
I enjoy manager mode, it's my personal favourite...each year I'm always hoping that the writers will expand on this "journey" yet they don't! perhaps this is the year that the writers incorporate the Euro format into the fixtures, perhaps if your managing career is a perfect 10/10 you could be selected to coach your countries side at the world cup!
Most of all though it's the same old with no real challenges other than remembering to extend contracts and not go bust!
BORING!
When are you, the writers going to insert levels of difficulty into the "Manager mode" alone?
Whereby you can feel some real pressure and make some hardball decisions!
Your teams players for example are rarely injured and if they actually do get injured, they're back on tte field in two clicks!!!
All upgrades should take longer and be much harder to obtain, club owners shouldnt be so "nice" To buy/bid for players they should be based on "real" apprasials, put ronaldo for sale at 150 million!
The free kick needs some polishing...perhaps a "cross hair" so you actually aim better!
Transfers....can someone pleease insert a "select player by their market value"?
be able to negotiate with ALL sponsors on funds per game and bonuses, etc
Actually have sponsors email/contact you with their offers..
Manager mode needs to get more EXCITING and HARDER - so please, create manager mode Amatuer, Semi Pro, Pro and World Class, just like you can choose your level of play!!!!
Thats enough for 5 minutes!!
Imagine practice mode with only your player and the ball on a playing ground. Now with the L3 stick you move your player but did not come in contact with the ball so its your player doing waist movements, spinning around, hopping and doing other feint like movements WITHOUT THE BALL. The ball was never touched so it remained in the same place. So you go to where the ball is and you just run into it so it did move but you stopped so now you must go to where the ball is once again. Now, you go for the ball and this time with the R3 stick pressed ina certain direction you KNOCK it forward and hold R1 to run after it(much like a first touch). When you catch up to the ball you make a body spin but DID NOT TOUCH THE BALL so you missed the spin move. Next time you do your body spin once again but this time you make CONTACT with the ball so are able to create some kind of spin move, AWESOME. You stand next to the ball and decide to PRESS the R3 button this time and your player flicks the ball up. So L3 ONLY controls your player and R3 represents the ball so that when you come close to the ball the way in which you play with the R3 stick will replicate itself as your controlled player plays with the ball in the game. Also, with the L3 stick maybe along with an L2 or R2 button you should be able to make all kinds of body movements like hips, legs and foot WITHOUT THE BAL. This will enable along with the R3 stick (to control the ball) to come up with some brilliant moves of your own as well as the signature moves performed by some superstars. You should always be able to hop or jump (this can be used to create moves and other stuff). When you jump for a ball in the air the longer you hold the jump button (maybe the x button), the higher your player will attempt to jump. Then, once your player is in the air you should still have to tap or press a HEADING button, like( like x once again or square button) plus the direction or else you would not perform the header. The ball will either bounce off of you or you will miss the ball. If you tap the header button you will perform a softer header and when you press it or hold it you will perform a more powerful header. This would make the air game more compelling and exciting.
I feel that if EA puts all this in the game, it will have taken its gameplay to a wholenother level. I think everyone will like it only that it might be a little difficult at first but with practice mode everyone can learn.
Thank you and best of luck!!!
the tricks that are on fifa 08 ps3 should be on ps2 new tricks should be added too
pc version tricks shouldnt be hard to do
more nutmegs
-more variety of stadiums
-change sponsers on the top in manager mode
-better celebrations
-more exciting enthusiasm in finals
-manage international teams
-better tackling and you shoud be able to dive but referees can book you if they notice
-shoulld be able to take a quik free kick or throwing because if your on the break and its a throw, when ou take the throw all the players are back =[
and their should be unlimited edit player
use that extra memory to add new leagues and stadia.
-realistic face and realistic referees
-manager and sub bench need to be shown
-real fights in derby games
-variable commentary and different commentators
Problems and ideas fifa 09 :
1. Faster paced gameplay
2. More responsive dribbling and skills
3. Realistic positioning - eg. don't have players like rio ferdinand on the post for defending corners.
4. Defenders come up for corners
5. Corners and free kicks should be more dangerous - eg. more pace, whip and curl and players attack the ball.
6. Stop awkward animations - eg. in slide tackles when a player is upended, it looks very awkward. More animations for things like tackles etc.
7. Low, hard shots that skid across the grass - and score
8. Balance goalies - they have ridiculously good reactions but always get lobbed and look really stupid
9. Players are more responsive and can quickly knock the ball away from tackles and on rushing goalies
10. Make running animations smoother and less jumpy.
11. Stop players popping up on the screen in cutscenes (happens in euro 2008)
12. Can save replays
13. Have a nutmeg trick
14. Have full control over players without the ball - eg. when running after the ball which is going out for a throw in, they just get an unnecessary touch on it which takes it out of play and gives throw-in to opposition. Also when defending a lobbed through-ball you automatically run towards the ball when you should be trying to cut off the run of the attacker who will get to the ball first.
15. Goalies stop balls going out for corners - dont just stand and watch it.
16. Penalties - accurate shots (RB button) are actually powerful. And make it possble to hit the side netting
17. Accurate shots in open play (RB button) have more curl and pace on them and have an improved animation for the way they kick it.
18. More variety of techniques for shooting and passing. In present games, all players shoot in the same way - eg. have signature techniques like for c ronaldo
19. Signature dribbling styles eg. c ronaldo and messi (Use motion capture as you have done for ronaldinho for loads more players.
20. Shots look awkward in replays when the player actually strikes the ball
21. Easier to slot one-on-ones
22. Shots from players like gerrard and ronaldo should be alot more POWERFUL and look it. More pace on shots
23. Goalies commit and go down in one-on-ones, making them easier to score.
24. Make it possible to score from tight angles - more power would help this
25. Make it possible to have very powerful shot that stays low.
26. Speed up general ball movement. eg. lobbed passes can be drilled hard.
27. Faster paced dribbling and allow fast paced close control for players like messi
28. Referee and linesmen visible all the time
29. Disallowed goals after they have been scored
30. Better cutscenes - eg. for substitutions show the players run past eachother and slap hands. For injuries show physio and/or stretcher
31. 3D crowd
32. More dynamic commentary eg. they interupt eachother and themselves, when something interesting happens
33. Commentators get more excited
34. Stop commentary mistakes Eg. saying it was a bad shot when it actually hits the side-netting
35. Shots are more powerful
36. Players look more fired up in cutscenes
37. Keepers do not knock away shots straight at them - they should palm it down or just catch it
38. For arena during loading - make 2 player possible
39. Allow 2 or 3 players to stand around ball for free kicks
40. Possibly have slo-motion when late in a game and you have a shot
41. More crowd effects - eg pitch invasion, flares and mexican waves
42. Commentators comment on these crowd effects
43. Players argue with ref more - and get booked
44. Shirt pulling (but not particularly important)
45. Show subs on bench and warming up
46. Build up more to a substitution - eg. commentators talk about it and show player stripping down and warming up
47. Completely seamless gameplay to make more like a TV experiance
48. Stadium editor
49. Tricks are carried out with more pace
50. Don't need power bar for passing
51. Show team collecting cup when you win a tournament
52. More licensed tournaments like world cup and euro
53. Signature styles of play for teams - eg arsenal play short, quick one-touch passing. Bolton boot it up the pitch to target men
54. Varied goal types - eg tight/loose net and assign these to appropriate stadiums
55. More varied manager emotions on touchline
56. Free-kicks should be easier to hit the target and more curl should be possible
57. Penalty shootouts - show player walking up to goal with ball and show team in a line on halfway line. This would add to seamless gameplay. More build up to each penalty and enhance crowd emotions. Players show more emotion
58. HAND-BALLS
59. More penalties from open play
60. Crosses are more powerful and have more curl with players attacking ball
61. Also have lofted, floating crosses for players to attack
62. AI players should be much more aware in the box so they dont just walk past the ball. Should make last-ditch challenges
63. When doing tricks, defender commits easier
64. Players make more dynamic runs for throw ins
65. Better crowd graphics
66. Sort out sweat on the players
67. Players can shoot/pass mid-animation - when they are dribbling they can quickly release a shot.
68. Players fall over less when shooting
69. Shots taken when not facing the goal are more powerful
70. Extreme curled shots into far corner when running parallel to goal.
71. More back-heels and flicks - happen automatically when you pass
With these additions FIFA will be the best game ever. I already love it and think it is much better than pes but it could be this much better. PLEASE consider these ideas. They will seriously improve your game.

- freekicks need improvement, as do some other areas of game play
- manager mode: should have option to make/design training regime for players, suited to their strengths and weaknesses, should be more focused on aspects that a real manager would face ( i no complex, but can at least be introduced and then expanded in later fifas), should be able to create team and then manage them
- should be able to do training mode, where you can just practise certain aspects of game, like coners, freekicks, shooting, etc
- be a pro - make own player, then take them through journey of pro soccer, getting transfered, promoted/relegated from reserves/seniors and improve over time etx
just a couple of thoughts :p
* when you score the striker sometimes ends up in the goal and then just runs into the net - stop this.
* Have goals when the shot is so good that the keeper just stands still and watches the ball.
1. Make your own stadium
2. Design the inside. (eg. mangers office, changing roms, corridors etc)
3. Should be able to be chairman and watch the game from stand
4. You should be able to 3d tours of the top fours stadiums
5. Fights
6. better celebrations( jump into crowd, take shirt off)
7.be the manager on the side lines
8. use a player in the pre match warm up to do all the drills
9.when a player gets injured the physio comes on
10. if a player has to go off with injury strecher comes on
so pick these and it will be the best fifa ever
1.more national teams like in pro evo
2.make create-a-team and create-a-player more realistic
3.let people customize players looks i.e hair, boots, jersey numbers, gloves etc.
4.let players customize teams jerseys and sponsors
5.put the youth academy and reserve teams in the game
6.while in picking your starting eleven when you scroll over a player it shows a picture of him
7.for manager mode or career mode make it like the superstar mode in madden where you have a house computer, calender etc. and make him apply for jobs instead of getting one with the biggest team first
8.better crowd agin like in madden where it show the fans
9.in dressing room talks with the manager before and after the game
10.include more legends in the classic 11 teams such as george best, maradona david seaman , linekar, roy keane etc.
11.show the dugout including the manager celebrating when you score and let you do the actual celebration like in the NHL games
12.put in the diving ability because that would make playing with your friends more fun
13.in manager mode actual show the manager and let you walk him around in the dugout an shout to his players
13.and finally let the player create his/her own stadium for their team like again in madden
firstly...
1/ when creating a club, the variety of colours, kit designs and badges were quite poor.
it would be much better if we could use at least 3 colours to create a better looking kit, I also think the kits should have a choice of sponsors and brands, it would make the game much more fun and realistic if we could create a branded kit e,g( adidas or nike ) for the created team to where.
2/ Face mapping, like the ones used on games such as tony hawks, which allows you to take a picture of your face and put it on to your created player.
3/It would be much better if the players kicked like they do in real life, for example, c ronaldo should be able to shoot like he does and make the ball move like he does. I know that some players already do this, like david beckham but it would be better if everyone did to make it more realistic.
4/ just about all players in the top two leagues of each country should look like they do in real life, i believe this can spoil the game when you got all the players looking the same.
5/ most of the players attributes and prices are pretty accurate, but i think alot should be much better, and some of the english youngsters should also grow to become world class players such as ashley young and theo walcott.
6/ it would be good if you could create your own formation in season and use it in your season and if you colud change a created clubs kit whilst in season to play in in manager mode whenever you wanted,
hope you take my ideas into consideration, i love the game and really want it to be made even better.
pitch invasions
punch-ups
tours
world cup
more time for transfers in summer
more chants
player celebrations customized
BUILD YOUR OWN STADIUM [with net colours etc..]
1. Player Customization, in PSP version, you can't make your own players
2. Manager Mode, More trading possibilitys. You should be able to trade more, just 4 trading oppotunitys isnt enough.
3. Better International squads. Make it so the game recognisies all players from that particular, and you can pick the players for that squad.
Thats my say, hope it has helped
Thankx!
more south american leagues and asian leagues, their better then the mls
better ai especially in defence
different styles of play used by the computer, a defensive approach or attacking approach, short passing game or long passing game etc
more stadiums
russian and greek league
1. Camera options. Not only choose a perfered camera, but be able to adjust that choosen camera further (higher/lower, zoom in & out).
2. What about a National Team in Manager Mode? Play friendlies, World Cup qualifiers, Euro qualifiers, CONCACAF etc, recall new/different players because of injury or level of play for each National Game.
3. When playing at the high levels (world class) even if you get a fancy move off, the defender seems to quickly recover from a step or two down to poke check you from the side or worse yet, from behind with out dumping you for a penalty/free kick. If you beat the D you beat the D. I'd be fine with it happening as the exception, but alas, in the game, it is the RULE...maddening!
4. PLEASE fix the absurd goalies that work for the poor human playing team. EVERY GAME at EVERY LEVEL my 90 Goalie is badly outplayed by a 59 or 69 rated Goalie with the super powers of AI working for it. Again, once and a while I understand...but good players need to play their rating...even against super robot 59 rated two star players/teams.
5. The same is true for your D men. Why is it when you play a 59 rated striker in world class your stud D men just seem to dissapear???
Just a few ideas about playability/manager National Team Mode!! Yes please!
1. Transfer periods should be more realistic: Managers should have all of the summer to search for players to improve their squad, not just January and August. Furthermore, the terms for a transfer should be more realistic -- loan players should be signed to a contract that allows for a by-out at the end of the season; you should be able to sweeten a deal by offering a player along with cash; managers should be able to make promises to entice players to their team like EA's NCAA Football games.
2. Summer tours should be available for club teams. Many teams in europe take their show on the road in June and July to tweak their squad and gain support worldwide. Scheduling tours for the summer in America, Asia, Africa and beyond should be an option.
3. Youth team players should be given more credit than they are currently. I'll give two examples: 1) Manchester United signed Cardiff's Aaron Ramsay today -- Ramsay played a vital role in Cardiff's season and FA Cup exploits. He was and is going to be a fantastic player and yet in the game he is only a 47. Likewise, my favorite team is PSG. Their youth team and young players are renowned for being fantastic. This year their youth players played massive roles in their season (albeit a poor one). Mamadou Sakho, the captain of the U-18 French National Team and a regular in the PSG lineup was only a 55 over-all. That is not realistic. It would take 10 seasons for players with ratings like that to even reach an overall level of 70. THat is not realistic -- players like Sakho and Ramsay will be regular starters and playing with the senior squad within a couple of years. They should be given higher overall ratings and it should be easier to improve them with experience points.
4. The generic stadiums should be more interesting and there should be more authentic ones. All of the premier league stadiums should be included (Especially teams like Everton, Manchester City, Blackburn and Tottenham). Likewise the Santiago Bernabeu should be included, and other topflight european stadiums should be in the game (i.e. Bordeaux, St. Ettien, Villareal, FC Porto, Benfica, SP Lisbon, etc.) It really does make the game feel much better to play in an authentic stadium.
5. The Be A Pro mode should be similar to NCAA Football's campus legend mode. You should start as a promising youth player, work your way through the reserves and play in cup ties etc., until you finally break into the first team and go beyond.
Have 'Be A Pro' for PSP. It is an awesome concept but I was dissapointed I couldn't play it
Have real training sessions for manager mode
Manager Mode is good but could use a lot of improvement too.
1. Punch ons after a big tackle in rivalry games
2. Crowd flares, more chanting, home team chants left speakr, away right speakr
3. add ability to manage international teams every four yrs in world/euro/asian/americas/african cups
4. Create a team with good kits and then place them in lowest tier of country of choice then manage to the top
5. asian club championship like ecc/efa
6. telstra dome/anz stadium in a-league
7. more stadiums
8. 10 year long be a pro mode and b able to play 4 country if good enough in world/euro/asian/americas/african cups
sound good?
We paid for the game! Why limit our options???!!!
1. In Manger Mode, be able to swap players and/or cash when trying to buy a player. Too often I see "*This team* does not have enough players on the squad."
2. In depth Be a Pro Mode, 10-15 seasons long. Start out young and try to build your way up to a top club and international status.
3. Better Youth Academy system in Manager Mode
4. More intelligent AI, better runs off the ball better timed runs into the box, etc.
2) Free kicks and Throw ins need to have a quick play option.
3) real time recovery. players magically transport into position on free kicks and throw ins. The farther they are when the foul occurred, the farther they have to get back.
3) Skill moves should not slow you down. You should not be able to do all moves at full speed but the moves themselves should not slow you down.
4) Better Goalkeepers ALL ASPECTS
5) Harder passes, both normal and through balls.
6) More realistic Celebrations. If you are winning by 5 no one cares, if you score an important goal then the players and fans should react accordingly.
7) More realistic attributes/ratings. i.e. players in the MLS certainly lack skill but they arent all 20 points slower than those who play in Europe.
8) More realistic headers. Players are wide open on corners and blow the ball over the net. that shouldnt happen.
9) Choice of header or shot by foot when the ball is in the "in between" situations.
10) Momentum should definitely be a factor. Not only within the game but within a season and not only with the players but with the fans.
11) the little things, correct player numbers, correct captains, change the captain arm bands, show the forth official signaling subsitutions and stoppage time.
12) BETTER MARKING. If im playing 5 in the back i dont want them to stand there and wait for a guy to come into"their area" 5 defenders should be able to handle a lone striker trying to take it himself. too many times do the players leave one guy to defend one guy while they sit there and do nothing. natural double teams should occur more often and manual double teams need to work a lot better. the player always dives in on the double team. why cant he contain?
13) Bring back the offside trap! I loved it in 2007. maybe it shouldnt be as good as it was in 2007 but it should be a button on the controller AND a defensive strategy. the better the defenders and the better the sweeper then the better the trap. and have the AI react to human defensive strategies.i.e if i keep trapping then they should try some give and goes and through balls.
14) PLAYER MOVEMENT Get more players involved in the attack. send outside backs on runs, have midfielders check to the ball, have players naturally work to get back and in front of the ball on defense.
15)Better Camera options. most are too close or two far away. get one that looks like we are watching the game on tv.
16) improved cut scenes in between gameplay. i wanna see the goalie get some water before the goal kick, players chat about strategy when their is misscommunication, see the manager communicate to his players.
17) more natural ball flight on free kicks the ball always comes off the inside of the kicker's foot.
18) be able to battle in the box for position. The bigger guys should def have an advantage but are susceptible to losing their marks every once in awhile.
19) be able to call a second player over for corner kicks. This option would make corners much more difficult to defend.
