more traits for players. at the moment it feels like 22 of the same palyer on the pitch. eg, ronaldo does trickery and is good, messi on the other hand just doesnt seem to lose the ball because his ball control is amzing, at the minute though, they are practically the same player. would be good if this was changed. thanks
Also, if you could add the referee in the game and linesmen too. (Xbox 360 version)
Also, it would be interesting if you could get points to unlock special kits or balls or stadiums, like
in fifa 04. The most important though is to add new leages such as conference or russian or j-league.
For the manager mode, i would like to see a better scouting system, one more precise.
Also, i would love to see more leagues, such as the Hong Kong league, because football manger has it
and it creates a more realistic touch. Oh and better graphics on the players. Bojan looks like he's balding.
crowd should be more realistic, and the sound of the crowd should be more upper class like when they go made when u have a shot or getting near the goal or penalty
YOU SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION OF CREATING YOUR OWN TEAM (PEOPLE MAY WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN REAL SUNDAY LEAGUE TEAM) AND BE ABLE TO PLAY IN MANAGER MODE FROM THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY TO THE TOP
Please put this in fifa 09
1.Be offered a new kit once every season.
2. Introduce diving to the game.
3. Make manager mode longer.
4. Be able to leave you club whenever you want not just at the end of the season.
5. Make the game faster.
6. Be offered a new sponsor every 2-4 years.
7. Be given transfer targets by chairman within budget.
8. Make the player have career threatning injuries every now and then.
9. The players look like them selves, and trash the system if you're a centre forward and are played in Left midfield your rating goes down.

Please put these suggestions into the game.
Thank you
Adding pass backs in the game would be a good idea
they should put the tournament mode back online defiantly and you should be able to write to each other before matches start. also i think there should be more worldwide competitions (make online as good as it used to be on 07), taking out the tournaments was a big downer. (for not online) the world cup should be in tournament modes and the euro (saves us creating them)
I agree with clos and include the AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS. it will be great to have africa seen on one of the major lebels of EA Sports.
I really want to have indoor soccer in fifa 09
Jesper Hansen
Well first of all the referee in 08 is the worst so far. They really make a lot mistakes in regard to the freekick/penalty judgements. Yes it has to be fair but it is a contact sport. Players get freekicks for eaven the smallest tackels and that is a understatement. Further more there should be an option like in madden 08 where you can make yourself and then play him in a career.
the iranian league should be in it.
ummm not much to improve on but there is some things such as more celebrations(way more),more boots and availability to change colour and dersign of the boot.see the managers thoughts on the sidelines and subs coming on nd off and communicating with the other playa(hug,hand shake e.t.c).either be able to but more arenas with ur points or improve the one with walls,cones,other players e.t.c
more time for the transfer market.id like an indoor tournament or 6-a-side whic would be awesome.i also believe all the suggestions by everybody else,so plz EA introduce these new things.thnx
Here are some of my suggestions:
1. You should be able to make a new player even after you've started Manager mode. I play the same manager the entire year and switch teams every two seasons, so that means that I get to make myself and friends only for the first two seasons that I play and that's it.
2. You should be able to track stats from other leagues.
3. Try to include other leagues from the America's and even have the Copa Libertadores if you decide to manage a team from Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, or any other league you add.
4. I like Bill's idea of having close calls on offsides go your way every once in a while. It happens in real life, and other EA Sports games(Madden) have the ref get it wrong.
5. Real life training sessions for player growth. I would even take it off-season, and then do the simulated ones during the season. PSP has training sessions, why not other consoles?
6. Put ref on the pitch and have them be part of the game i.e. ref can get in way of pass.
7. Managers should sign a contract for a determined amount of time and have other clubs make offers to you if you are good.

That's it for now. More to come later.
We can have some africans football club as well not only south africa's club
Have an option for a trade tranfer in the next version please
In manager mode, when season ends you shoul be ABLE TOCHANGE KITS AND CHANGE THE SHIELD, MAKE A NEW STADIUM WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF MANEY AND THE OWNERSA OF THE CLUB ACCCEPT, AND CHANGE THE MEGASTORE WHEN YOU HAVE THE SUFFICIENT MONEY AND THE OWNERS OF THE CLUB ACCEPT
First of all I think that the fifa 08 was a major improvement. Game play was much more realistic and fun to play. I think that most of the things I would like to see in fifa 09 involve making the game even more realistic.
1. Add a referee
2. Improve the crowd graphics and also being able to hear the real chants would be great, or have more variety. Maybe you can even upload different chants as un-lockable features.
3. Include options of Rain, Night, Day, Cloudy, Snow etc, etc.
4. In would be interesting to see your coach participating in the side line, and walking on and off the bench. Giving orders to have subs warm up, discuses with refs, this would be great in the manager mode where you can see the person you created.
5. On bad injuries it would be fun to see the medical team run on to the field and if needed to side the player. Having on field pushing and shoving when something like this happens could add more to the game.
Some other things I would real enjoy having in this game would be
1. More stadium options.
2. More National teams to choose from
3. THE ARGENTINA SOCCER LEAGUE…even having the option of choosing from the Spanish commentaries from a Mexican one and or an Argentinian one. If you watch the argentina league you know how fun and emotive those guys are.

There are many more suggestions I have but got to get back to work so!!!! Hopfully I will see some of these improvements. Pleaseeeee add the Argentinian Futball League!!!!
armando herrera
new trophy for mexico and uefa champions league, new shoes, new balls, create a stadium, and new uniforms for create a team
OH YES!
Please can you make the ref realistic and also have the ref on the pitch with the linesmen on the side...
I thought about off the pitch, whilst in a game you could have managers on the touchline shouting instructions to the team and even have subs warming up down the sidlelines.
And maybe for some fun have a novelty event on a few occassions maybe in the fa cup final were a streaker or some sort of interuption would take place...
In the next fifa game, i think you should be able to re-design kits and shirt sponsers because after 6 years of manager mode with one team you still have to play in the same old kit.
- I also had an idea of making manager mode interactive where you could choose a team to manage and you actually have to play against other online players to win the title, also when the transfer market comes around on this interactive version of manager mode, you are put up to the test of bidding for players against other actual online players and even having to accept/decline offers for your players that have been made from the other online players.
These ideas are for both console and computer versions of the game!
Proper leagues e.g Conference.north nd south
Also when win a major cup ...actually see them recieve the cup and celebrate (like man u :)..) better quality in the game play
refferees and linesman's
BOOT"S o my daze
Stadiums ..better quality in them
subsitutions and applauade the crowd when going off...or a bad reaction when comin of e.g rooney
4th official
managers ordering tactics
players arguing on the pitch e.g not passing to them
tht it really cheers
Put the kc stadium on for the hull city fans!!!!!
Fifa 09 definitley needs more camera angles that you can tweak and adjust so you can play the game hovever it feels comfortable...A proper broadcast camera angle is necessary (like the one that is on the PS2 version of Fifa08.... What really annoys me is that on the PS3 version at least, you have two really close angles (which makes it hard to see the wood from the trees)! You have a really far away one, which you are unable to bring any closer, then you have the end-to-end cams which frankly, are a wast of time! Then you have the be a pro cam, Which is the most confused and convolouted one of the lot!...All we ask for is a camera that looks exactly as if you were watching a game on sky Sports!! Please put it in for FIFA 09!!!!
I think they should work on the fields some snow in Italy and Germany, rain two that would be so great if you see this thing in you nHD tv you feel so good playing the game.
I think they should work on the realistic of the field i will like to se snow in italy field and Germany were there is snow rain and more stuff like that when you see this thinks in your HD Tv you just feel so good playing the game.
you should make a FIFA of a past world cup like when Maradona played, or when Pele, and other great figures of soccer but with the technology of our times.
Some of these are minor details but if included in general gameplay i feel it would add to the seer brilliance of fifa!
Firstly when choosing game settings, you should be able to choose the weather for each game, if you
choose a quick match, so that if its raining then the ball players will all make splashes when moving also it would be much slicker and faster in ball speed and slide tackles. If in manager mode the weather could vary accoriding
to the month youre in.

I think that having a visible referee would be great idea even if it is more for looks than usage, taking
a match you see on tele straight onto the game. Making things more like real life would also be a good
move, so scoring goals that are then diss-allowed due to offsides or an off the ball foul, handballs, maybe
the odd wrong offside decision.

As an added option i really enjoyed along with all of my mates in fifa 98 there was an indoor option, maybe
bring that back, its a great change from full size pitch and it's really enjoyable.

I will always choose fifa over any football game and i cannot wait until FIFA 09, i hope these are useful
comments and look forward to seeying the new features and new improvements.
Fifa 09 should show better audience, it should show the team sitting in the bench with the coach, it should have more commentator languages other than spanish and english like portuguese, italian, french etc. Real tournaments like champs league, uefa cup, copa libertadores, etc. and it should actually show the refree in the match.
Those were my ideas!! Hopefully they will come true!
I would love to see an individual player career mode. fifa 08 took the first step with the offline training player mode (which plays only one match). Possible facets of this can include an injury system (which affects players attributes) as well as a dynamic player attributes (as you peek in ability attributes begining to get worse and injury resistence gets worse as well).

I would also love to see international play/ world cup play in 09. I understand that there is a licensed game for this. but imagine in manager mode or career mode being able to play league matches as well as international matches. You maybe be asked to coach internationally if you're doing well in your league/ or if you're player is doing well. I would like to see an opportunity to bid on world cup venues and be able to choose locations, create stadiums and choose from different logos for these world cups. In essence the present world cup can exist in its own game but the fifa game can create virtual/fake world cup hosts and venues in a manager or career mode. This would be so very fun.
Fifa Gamer elite
Put Sicily League
Play champions league song
more puma stuff lotto too
put WAGS
eat
make the crowd more real so the home support go mad when the home team scores and stay still when the away team scores
have all the real premier stadiums and have broadcast camera
make the keepers better so they just dive for the ball instead of running backwards and then diving and make players cleverer when they pass so they pass to the right team and players should run to the ball instead of away from it
u shud be able to make ur own boots and build yer own stadiums and live a virtual life where u get to buy clothes cars and houses so i hope dat EA FIFA 09 does dis maybe in da future...
make the offside trap more realistic so the players stand in a line insted of all running forward
You should be able to win a Manager of the month in Manager Mode and change jerseys every season .
in the be a pro mode you should be able to make your own player and have your own season as in manager mode. You should start at the bottom and work your way to the top as a player. In this mode you should get contracts, play for clubs and international level and make your player the best in the world with experience points!! that is the way foward!!
make the players less fat n more skinier. also make the gameplay faster like in pes 08 because its very slow in fifa and its not realistic running speeds. thanks
i think that when you take a free kick it should resemble the player who takes it. i.e when ronaldo takes one on fifa 08 he stands like he is about to take a corner, where as he should do what he does in real life. also some players should be able to hit the ball faster than on the game.to make the gameplay seem faster the players should run to the ball instead of waiting for it and getting intercepted

i wud also like to see a ref and linesmen because it would make you feel more apart of the game.

i also think that there should be national tournaments.

what i would love to see in the game is that you have the ability to choose classic manager mode and normal manager mode.
what i mean by this is that you can choose a team as you would in normal manager mode but have the older players from 2 or 3 seasons ago and have the kits which were used in that year , and a new season means new kits and you can choose to sell and buy your players, instead of having to get rid of them you could keep them for longer

i think that training should be brought in agen like on the ps2 and have the ability the create your own set piece ( telling where you want players to go).

these are my views on how i would like the game to be like and hopefully be introduced. some players of the game may not agree with the ideas but i feel they should be tried out and see what the reviews are.
i think that you should be able to assign a stadium to any club you want, so i can use a lower league team playin at old trafford for example, also having the boots and balls already available, also iwould like the weather to change during the match, and be in real time, like if the game is in december, for there to be rain and wind, not for it to be sunny for every game. i hope the rain in euro 2008 stays for the new fifa. also, for the crowd to react better, jump up when a goal has been scored, and react if a late goal, or red card.
Also in the transfer market you don’t have that number of bids your allowed to bid how much you want and the club gives you a new transfer balance every season. Have Captain Your Club like on Euro 2008 where you can start in the youth then the reserves and then first team and go to captain your club
It seems to me that most of the posts have focused on the addition of new teams/new leagues and creation of new tournaments that reflect real life etc, etc. People's posts also focus on the addition of referees, managers and various animations like scuffles. Although I do not disagree with many of these ideas as they may well improve the 'completeness' of the game, I (along with many of my friends that are avid players), are frustrated with such suggestions as they do nothing to improve the actual gameplay.
GAMEPLAY is the most important thing that has to be tweaked in FIFA. I have been playing this game since the very first game they ever made. As I have grown as a footballer and begun to understand positioning and player movement, I have noticed that it seems FIFA might be made by a number of people who might not actually play football. The key to gameplay is the off the ball movement of players. FIFA does not offer a realistic interpretation of how football should actually be played. Instead of playing fluidly like a world class team such as Arsenal, Man U or Real Madrid (to name a few), FIFA actually plays at the level of a successful team of 13 year olds.
In terms of off the ball movement, players in the game are guilty of mainly running in straight lines. Often when a run is triggered, a player will run straight ahead, or on a slight angle (I believe this can be adjusted, but with limited success), but not necessarily into space. In fact, players will often even run into the most unlikely position, into danger, instead of into open space where the ball could be played. Even more concerning is that as the player makes a run, he never changes direction and continues to run until the play is dramatically changed. This means that defenders triggered on the wings can often end up in offside positions as they continue to run forward when you are on the attack. The positions are too predictable as the AI never really adapts, and players don't actually find space with a weaving run, or a change in direction. It is like they are tied to railroad tracks. I hope that makes sense.
The through pass is also a problem. If indeed you do have a player running into an ideal space which is hard enough to do, then when the through pass is made, the ball is aimed at a position ahead of the player as it should be. However, the player is tied to this train-track where you actually have no control of the player until he meets the ball or until the ball is interecepted by the opposing team. In fact, this train track pattern is so apparent, that if you remove all of your fingers from the controller and do nothing, the player still continues to run on that same path! This essentially means that you lose control of the game and it does what it wants to/what it is programmed to do. The player should instead be under the gameplayers control and if the computer starts the player on this path, you should be able to take over control of the player so that he can move off of this set path and cut off the pass at an earlier time if the play changes, if the ball is too slow, or if the pass is no longer viable.
Gameplay needs to be looked at and these considerations must be made. Instead of explaining a couple other ones, I will just list them because this is way too long. Please let me know what you think...
- Too few overlapping runs that are effective
- The direct pass requires the player to wait in a fixed position until the ball arrives, very rarely can this player move closer to the ball
- Defence is often out of the play on attack
- Midfield waits too much while on the attack, especially when on the wings when the CM's should be presenting themselves and finding space to recieve a pass
- My most HATED one: The ball has been kicked and is heading out by the opposing team, and for some god awful reason, your own player chaces it all the way to the touchline and then in an effort to save the ball that is already obviously lost, your player makes contact with it as it goes out and you lose the throw in/goal kick/corner kick

Players look very authentic and the game looks beautiful, but the gameplay must be helped as it makes for a very frustrating game at times that lacks the ability of the human player to apply his or her knowledge and understanding of football to the game. Essentially, the game needs to allow the human player to be more CREATIVE and INVENTIVE, but with such stringent guidelines, human control over players is limited and the game often plays out on its own.

They should show you lifting the trophy

Like in euro 2008 you should control the celebrations after you score

You should be able to start a career with 1 player and move up the ranks in a team earn a starting place and be able to transfer to bigger clubs buy things like houses, cars and be able to shag your team mates sisters
there should be non-league teams on fifa 09
Also in the transfer market you don't have that number of bids your allowed to bid how much you want and the club gives you a new transfer balance every season.
It would be cool if you can have an option of 'Captain Your Club' like in Euro 2008. With 'Captain Your Club' you make your guy and he starts in the youth team and if he plays well go to the reserves and if you play well in the reserves you get to go in the first team and go on to captain your club.
and rangers and celtic players are way underrated;

Cuellar is 79-should be mid 80s I mean he was named in the european 11
Mcgreggor only 75-wtf should be at least 80.Sort it out fifa
fifa 09 should have ibrox,parkhead,hamden all 5star stadia
