let us decide how to wear our kit e.g man us normal home kit has white shorts and black socks but yhey hardley use the black socks also look closely at fabregas does he really look like that ronaldo too.
all ps2.
IM FED UP PLAYING GAMES WHERE THE ********* PLAYER CARRIES OUT THE REQUESTED ACTION 2 OR 3 SECONDS AFTER I HAVE PRESSED THE BUTTON! AND IT WORSE ONLINE EVEN IF YOU HAVE A MEDIOCRE CONNECTION SOMEONE WITH A GOOD CONNECTION IS GONNA WIN CUS THERE PLAYERS ACT QUICKER THE BUTTON DELAY ONLINE IS A JOKE.NEVER HAVE I PLAYED A GAME SO INFURIATING!
EJMPLOS:
JUAN ARANGO GIANCARLOS MALDONADO RONAL VARGAS
- should add off ball runs control, so you make the runs off ball somehow.
- add a refferee for small detail and lines men.
- maybe a feature where you can dive if near opponent but referee be strict and be able to take quick free kicks.
a better sprinting technique coz they run like idiots
goalkeepers r not freakishly good
all premiership studiums
less frequentcy of hitting bar and post
faster running
more flexable gameplay
I also think that some fans in the stadium should leave around 10 minutes before the end of the match if the team is playing rubbish or if they are loosing.
Please use these sugestions coz i want FIFA09 to be ace!!!! AND I'M SURE IT WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. More stadiums should be introduced...
2. Crowds should differ, say if a club loses a huge amount of games, the crowd should get less and less due to the fact of poor effort and form...
3. Stadium customisation, same as NFL series...
4. Having award ceremonies after a season and interviews...
5. Building a superstar... Same concept as NFL... Playing for minor clubs and then been selected for the big time, with massive deals and such and such...
6. During the season if players are selected in higher duties (International matches) should be pulled out for a week or weeks due to the amount of international games he has to attend...
7. More realism with the injuries...
Just one more thing FIFA IS AWESOME....
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK....
1. A higher prestige rating like 15 or 20 other than 10. Have specific tasks to unlock them like going a full season unbeaten.
2. Introduce international management and international selections to the manager mode. Meaning you have to qualify for world and european cups.
3. Have reserve teams so you can get players match fit who have been injured or lacking match practice.
thanks for reading my suggestions
- expand maneger mode; include pre-/post season games to yeild things like experience to the squad, fan support and most important, money.
- expand the be-a-pro mode into "becoming a pro". In this mode, you get to either start as a decent player and work your way to the top or make your own and play to progress.
- international squads:
if FIFA doesnt include certain squads, why cant we make a custom team to include all the players from that nation? i.e. create a squad and add existing players to it to form ex. ivory coast team.
more international involvement.....international manager mode!!!! tournaments...include more teams from africa and south america.
-gameplay:
i like that FIFA is adding weather effects to the EURO game. I personally like the game for the teeks it received but think i'll wait for '09. aside from that point, here are some other suggestions:
.....SKILLS....
make the feints (i.e. stepovers, body feints etc.) more effective.
for example, i wanna see a player of high skill level break the ankles of a amature defender. also include more flicks, more trapping skills and player's abilty to sheild the ball ANYWAY POSSIBLE! in soccer, we use the body as a shield plenty and I'd like to see more use of it in the game.
on that lets move on to
.....MOVEMENT...
the pace of the game was ok and with the EURO overhal, i think it should be ok. However, there has to be a way to counter all the skill and attack with good defensive manuvers.
Make players who are fast, fast! but then again, if a defender is in a good position, i wanna see that defender actually put in a strong leg to stop the attack!
More control over the pace of the ball. Messi is a god at controlling theball and is able to change pace easily. i would like that to be a determining factor of play.
JOSTLING needs improvement. ITS confusing and just needs to be worked on.
on that note more fighting and effort to win a ball!!! i wanna see a loose ball struggle end up as a battle b/t speed and strenght...
now theres a bunch more but those are the ones that pop into my head at this time.
and also to be able to build your own stadium and use it during manager mode
1) get rid of the online!!! They don’t have any punishment for quitting…they should automatically lose 3-0 like PES does because it’s really annoying I find it hard to have a decent game.
2) Make more stadiums available
3)3rd kits should come as standard
4) First touch on most players is awful so you need to sort that out
I love FIFA but there’s still alot of room for improvements
its good to include player chants like “that boy Ronaldo� “Wayne Rooney�
*its also good to show fans leaving the stadium when there are 7-8 minute left and you are losing
*PLAYER INTERVIEWS PLEASE!!!!!!!
________________________________________
Please also include a penalty shootout option rather than having to draw a game to practice penalties
________________________________________
1> I would like fifa 2009 to show team talks before a match and at half time.
2> I would like the idea of being able to change the football kits in manager mode at the end of each season to create realism.
3> I would like the Uefa Champions League music to play while the teams are entering the pitch in manager mode for Uefa Champions League games.
4> I would like more squad players to be added not just the “big boys� but also fringe players especially on the psp
5> I would also like only skilful players i.e. Ronaldo, kaka, Messi, aguero to be able to do complicated tricks not players like vidic, cannavaro
6> I would like players to be able to dive and pull shirts
7> It would be better if you do not always get a foul given like in real life when there is a blatant foul but players protest and get yellow cards (the user can decide when to protest and when not to by pressing a button) like c.ronaldo when he throws his arms in the air.
8> I would also like there to be more than one user to be able to play in the football arena at one time
9> I would be grateful if the user could choose how to celebrate a goal i.e. with someone like drogba do you wish to dive on the floor, silence the crowd or do that aeroplane celebration he does.
10> FIFA 2009 WILL BE THE BEST EVER!!!! THANK YOU EA

• Realistic injuries (short term to long term), implications on the team (e.g. team selection, who to play and what formation/tactics to implore).
• Player fatigue – difference in their play (unable to run as far/fast, at higher risk of becoming injured, sloppy passing)
• Team/player training should focus on periodised training, e.g. depending on what part of the season it is (pre season, mid season etc) depends on what your training focus on (e.g. pre season would focus on fitness, mid season would focus on passing etc). Failure to work on the right things would decrease your team rating.
• Individual player team rating i.e. a player who is a long servant of your team not only boosts your team rating but gives them a high rating, if you have a player who has played for a lot of different clubs will therefore decrease your team rating but will also give them a low rating, meaning that they may be a great individual player but will not necessarily play well in your team (i.e. someone like Nicolas Anelka). Reversely if you buy a player who has been a long servant at another club, they could still retain a high player team rating and bring a high team rating for their new team (i.e. Roy Keane – 12 seasons at Manchester United, last playing season at Celtic helped bring them the league and cup double). This would bring more thought, drama and consequence when buying new players and letting players go/sell them, as opposed to buying newer, highly rated players that easily slot into your team and bear no difference/consequence at all.
The look
• The bigger the game the more it should be built up. If for example you have a derby then this should be built up more than a usual game, the desire and motivation behind the game should be played up more too (e.g. a derby between man Utd and Liverpool is more about pride than points, this should be seen in newspaper reports before the game, and the commentators should constantly reference it in the game). If a game is about league position then this should be referenced in papers and a short promotional video beforehand (i.e. title clash in the papers, a shot of the ground its being played at, the players arriving at the ground in suits, a build up of the recent games leading to this one and a look at the league standing, this can be done for title clashes and relegation battles etc).
• Cup competitions should have a bigger feel to them too. Each round should reference previous rounds, short videos of battles between teams that lead to the current one. This should occur again at the final to really build up the occasion and the importance of it all.
• Of course celebrations at winning a cup, league etc should be a lot, lot, lot grander!
• Previous seasons should be referenced, if you win the league in a season, then next season you should be referred to as defending champions.
• All in all, if you are competing in the manager mode then the structure needs to be much tighter, if you are playing a champions league game, then your league form should be referenced etc. Player and team form should be referenced, and league top scorers etc should all be referenced. This should also be the same for your competitors e.g. if you play against a team battling relegation then this should also be referenced. And if you are competing for the league top spot then your rivals should be referenced even if you are not playing them (e.g. who they are and how they have faired in their game and what that means you have to do etc). This will allow much more of a hysteria that is in the modern game.
• Matches should be shown as if they were on TV.
Teams
• More realism – big clubs do better, simple fact really, I don’t like battling out the premier league between Birmingham, Aston villa etc. This would work if there was a natural progression e.g. a statement where there is a new club owner and the club goes on a spending spree, bringing in big names etc. But I don’t think there is this simple, realistic approach at the moment, as teams with less team rating, chemistry and lower rated players do better than teams that excel in these areas.
• Team progression, if a team is doing well then the best players will want to play for them, you will also be able to bring good players through your youth academy. Too often big clubs falter as more seasons occur because they make no actions in the transfer market and they also have no players coming through the ranks.
• More chances to make money, winning leagues, cups, etc should give more financial reward you should also be able to set up pre season tournaments (e.g. emirates cup) for money and high profile friendlies.
• More accurate runs should be made for your players too, so often I have crossed the ball high into the opposition’s area to have absolutely no players in there. This also occurs when you have a player run the ball into the opposing teams penalty area, the keeper comes towards you to challenge you, you pull a pass back and have absolutely no players in the box! When programming your AI team player runs please do not lose focus on the main objective of football is to get the ball into the opposition’s goal!
• Player control needs to be tightened up too. If a player has exceptional ball control then this should carry over into the game, ’08 was a bit too ‘clunky’ for my liking, usually the player has to bring the ball down and then run with it (allowing him to be tackled) or once the ball is coming to the player you cannot realistically move them (i.e. shield the ball from an opposing player, sprint with it straight away etc).
________________________________________
Some more ideas and suggestions:
- There should be a way to make the ball swerve more but NOT by pressing the directional buttons AFTER the ball has been kicked. Instead it should depend on HOW you kicked the ball what part of your foot, body posture etc. Also wind should play a role in swerves. Finally, success should also depend on your player’s swerving and passing ratings.
- There should be more types of weather conditions included as well as times of day like sundown’s (sunsets) etc.
- Make shirts tuck out during matches as well as dirt and grass stains.
- Make players hairs move more, like pony tails etc. they look like a plastic hairdo.
- In be a referee mode adds speech and make it possible to choose what things to say or choose things to do whenever you want to.
- Leagues to add; as many as you can but other than that, Russian League, Greek League, Argentinean League, Japanese League and maybe add an African and Middle Eastern Leagues, they don’t seem to be represented in recent FIFA games. Maybe even make generic leagues and be able to edit them.
- Make mostly sell-out crowds for English and German leagues, their games always seem to sell-out as oppose to other leagues like Series A etc.
- Show all the pregame passion and atmosphere around the stadium and city.
- Have fan commentators call the action.
- Add Women National teams and have a World Cup competition for them.
- Make a wide variety of body types, plus player heights; some players are tall and lean while others are short and stocky, etc…
- Add Zone Play and Be a Pro to ALL playing modes, including online mode.
That’s it for now; let me think of some more…..
Thanks and good luck to EA.

Please put a career mode in fifa 09 wii version the wii version did not have a career mode in fifa 08 :(
I think you should add a “move� when a player gets tackled and fakes that he was tripped,
________________________________________
I think ea should consider improving the pc version of fifa
we realised in fifa 08 that there’s a huge difference between fifa 08 for ps3 and the pc version
that didn’t please a lot of people ‘ including me !
________________________________________
I think it would be awesome if in ‘Manager Mode’ you get job offers from various clubs…
Example: You start at a smaller club in a lower division, and then after 2 or 3 good seasons a EPL (English Premier League) club comes asking for you as manager, rather than you getting to select a club per say…
As you earn manager points (go up from level 1 to 10), the bigger the club…
(so when you reach level 9 or 10 then the BIG clubs come asking for you)
________________________________________
Co-op manager mode with a friend would cut the ice EA
________________________________________
Please make the commentators get more involved like da ones in the premiership, they shout and everything
aswell as all the other updates requested by others…
________________________________________
I think EA should include IRAQI teams in the next fifa version and some of the Arabic teams not just include Saudi. this will increase the people who will buy this game and not to use a patch to get meddle east teams in the fifa games.
THANKS…
________________________________________
there should be more trademark free kicks like the cristiano Ronaldo run-up and drogba’s style. Also more dip and swerve on the ball like real life which means there should be more shot types and more goal keeper saves types. Also bring in a dive button would be ace.
________________________________________
Oh, and it would be nice if you could see the leagues tables of other leagues than the one you play in.
________________________________________
For starters I would like to mention that what makes FIFA unique is the realism of the game when it comes to stadiums, clubs, leagues and player faces. Therefore it is important to expand the amount of stadiums, leagues and players made every year. Why can you for example not play in the Russian or the Greek league when you can play in Ireland? And how about the Argentine league? And it would be cool if there were at least one original stadium in all leagues. It increases the gaming experience, and too me FIFA is all about having the licenses and being realistic.
________________________________________
Thanks to EA SPORTS for making the best football game to start off with. I think these would be improvements:
* Being able to control the Goalkeeper on XBOX 360 as on the PS2.
* Being able to see the officials on the pitch
* Being able to see shots of managers reaction when key happenings occur in the game
* Free kick or penalty for handball
* The referees/linesmen decisions not always 100% as in real life, playback proves the ref was wrong on occasions
*Being able to move on to international management when you prove yourself good enough in the manager mode.
*Being able to make a player dive to get a free kick or penalty, but yellow card if the ref knows he is diving
Thanks
make the championship players look like them in real life
when a team wins the play off semi final second leg at home the crowd should invade the pitch
have the play off final at Wembley
have all championship stadiums like loftus road
make the pitch a better size

Fifa 09 needs:-
1. A more in depth transfer market
2. The Russian League
3. IBROX STADIUM, PARKHEAD, HAMPDEN PARK
4. If the team you choose qualified for Europe last season they should be in it.
5. Scout Reports.
6. The luchniki stadium.
i think u should put Asia league like japan,malaysia,and anymore. I hope u does that. And the put all national team in this world
When playing FIFA 08, I feel the defenders are spoon fed when it comes to game play and should therefore have an individual streak in their game play. They should throw themselves at the ball to block, track back player and make the decisive slide tackle, out muscle the striker and have a constant battle throughout the game with whoever they are marking. New attributes like, awareness, team leadership, commitment ( to corners or marking and decision making.
Due to EURO 2008 being held this summer, I would expect the creators of FIFA to get player ratings precise this year with young players getting a chance all over Europe. That is why they need to concentrate more on game play than on feature like online leagues. People want to be entertained if their entering a 15 season career mode and lots of new branches to the game would be found to improve. For a start, goalkeepers feature prominently in any team so if you notice that every good team has a great goalkeeper, iker casillas, petr cech etc. There is a new wave of talent coming in that area with Rene Adler, Manuel Neuer, Hugo Lloris, Steve Mandanda, Sergio Asenjo, Guillermo Ochoa, Oscar Ustari heading the line up, keepers should have better awarness on set-plays, positioning when opposition are counter-attacking and braveness when diving at a players feet, most important is reaction time if a top striker is against you the keeper will have to perform well to keep his team in the game
________________________________________
Put Scottish 1st and 2nd division teams in FIFA 09 i.e. Queens Park.
________________________________________
More interactive manager mode and player training schemes
________________________________________
1- have a few more shot types like outside foot and banana shots
2- the crowd, make them chant the name of a player who is on form, sometimes I hear the away chant more than the home chant which is weird, once I was playing France vs. England and i heard ‘’ rule Britannia Britannia rule the world'’
3- a be a pro mode where u start in academy then move to lower clubs then go on to the club of ur dreams, developing ur player with the exp u get from matches
4- reserve fixtures and league which u can play or sim
5- have a senior and reserve squad were u can move players between them
6- u can see refs and linesman on the pitch when playing as well as subs warming up
7- see all players being subbed and brought on as well as 4th official and dugout with staff , managers and players
8- more cup calibrations and have fans run onto field if the team is promoted to EPL
9-the ability to save goal replays on system memory not only uploading
10- more stadiums have most of EPL and some championships like st. Andrews and please put the real Madrid stadium, I mean come on this is real Madrid we are talking about
11- the ability to make enquiries in manager mode to find out what they want for a player
12- practice mode! The arena is great but we need a team practice
13- the real Holland team please
,please try to put some of the ideas and fifa 08 is awesome thanks for reading!
Before I begin, let me mention that all of my experience with Fifa 08 is with the PS2 version. I do not know if the exact problems mentioned below exist in all versions of the game.
Be a Pro should absolutely extend beyond one simple season. You struck an innovative and awesome idea, but the execution, while impressive given that a new Fifa must be released a mere year after its predecessor, was incomplete. The idea of living out the life of a professional player is great, but you left out most of the real concerns of a professional player. How about the prospect of trades, contract (re)negotiations, even specialized training, in the form of minigames. What about a lack of control over the line-up, the reality that your poor performance in one game could mean the bench in the next?
Another possibility might include a merged Be a Pro and Manager Mode, in which the player captain takes over all Manager responsibilities, allowing those responsibilities to shift amongst players and be strived to attain.
Due to the complications potential trades in Be a Pro mode might represent to a multiplayer group, perhaps a separate Coop and Single Player Be a Pro modes should be considered. The Single player mode can dive deeply into the true issues facing one individual player over the length of his career, where the multiplayer mode might more closely resemble the Manager Mode hybrid mentioned above, with players competing for true control over the team.
Aside from innovation alone, there are many small faults in Fifa 08, most notably in be a Pro mode that I would love to see corrected.
**Why, for instance, is it not possible to sub your own player out in Be a Pro?
**Relatedly, why does your player not suffer a next game penalty for a Red Card? Obviously, injuries to your only player are pushing the envelope, but a Red Card is a Red Card. The loss of control for one game should be felt as penalty.
**Certain team tasks completely lose meaning when playing solo, as team tasks revolve solely around co-op team mates, not AI team mates.
**Why is there no way to view the League results as a Be a Pro game progresses, to see your clubs actual standing, as well as your own in competition for the usual Manager Mode positions such as top scorer in league, highest assists, best goals per game ratio?
**Why are there none of the many varied tournaments involved with Manager Mode in Be a Pro, but only the main league?
**Why is it not possible to view the detailed player results available post match during the match in Be a Pro, in order to check things like number of calls made compared to other players, since such tasks as “Make the most calls for the ball� give you only a Pass/Fail status in the active match indicator?
**Why is it that Be a Pro mode does not use the current My Squads setting, but automatically uses default squads, no matter what changes have been made to the squads by the player? This, in particular, seems like an irresponsible oversight or mistake.
**Why is there no way to play a tournament in either Be a Pro mode or Zone Play mode?
**Why is it not possible to play as a Goalkeeper in Be a Pro? This is an exciting prospect that many players would enjoy.
**Relatedly, why is it not possible for a Goalkeeper to play other positions, or for non-GK to play the GK position? All other positions are completely exchangeable. Surely, the Goalkeepers have stats other than GK stats, and non-GK have stats for Goalkeeping, even though they are unable. Why is this so? Why even have these stats for other positions if those positions can’t be Goalkeepers? Surely it is conceivable that a Goalkeeper might also be a good defender, no? Why this arbitrary, impassable wall in the game’s programming?
**Why is there no manner to add points to Supporting Attributes in Be a Pro? In previous Fifa games EA attempted to draw notice to the specialization of player positions, even granting Bronze, Silver, and Gold rating in a player’s specialization in Fifa 07 for PSP. In Be a Pro mode, the opportunity exists for a player to have complete control over exactly how they develop, to allow them to specialize exactly as they choose, but the opportunity was not seized. In addition to automatic development of Supporting Attributes as your player levels, might not a few extra points to be distributed to Supporting Attributes only be a marvellous way to allow a player this complete level of customizability?
**Why can formations not be created as a player advances through a Manager Mode or Be a Pro game, but only before beginning a game? Is it not probable that in the course of a game, players might consider formation options that would work only with a certain newly acquired player? Or, even more common, is it not likely a manager might sign with a different team, losing not only access to plays he had the foresight to create for his old team, but also the opportunity to now, in adequate foresight, design formations to suit his new team? Formations created should not be assigned to a single team, at least not as a requirement, but ought to be available to all teams.
**In Be a Pro mode, your players actual face is displayed clearly in menus, yet in other areas of the game, created players, and even lesser known existing players, are represented by a blank silhouette. Why was this apparently new feature, the ability to read a players actual face for menu representation, rather than draw on specific face portrait images, not implemented throughout the entire game?
**Though purely aesthetic, why the swapping of the L1 and X functions? It is much more difficult, for example, to hold X and Circle simultaneously, to double team the opponent with the ball with simple automatic pressing, than it is to hold L1 and Circle simultaneously, and I see little other difficulty with the previous control setting that should have warranted the change.
**Why is it not possible to use unlocked balls in modes other than the simple Kick-off option? With so many balls so suited to match the various kits, surely a player in manager mode would enjoy playing with a ball appropriate to his team?
**A rather minor fact, but why the arbitrary 5-item limit on accessories?
**Facial Customization control are far from intuitive, as one must, through trial and error, determine what each direction on each joystick does. An interface with more individual options and a simple up-or-down control for each might prove more efficient than trying to lump similar features together in one, double-stick manipulated option. Furthermore, it would make it possible to rotate your character at all times, even when a particular facial feature is being manipulated.
**Why is it not possible to create a player who is a free agent, or who is not immediately assigned to the squads at all, but is kept in memory. The creation of god-characters can prove a short-term amusement, but the laughter ends when you begin a new Manager Mode only to find your divine plaything a tool in a rival club’s hands.
**The addition of a voice for the Referee would be interesting, to be used in cut scenes where players are disciplined.
**The possibility of taking out a loan in Manager Mode might be interesting to explore. Obviously, if it were not repaid in due time, the board would be severely displeased.
Fifa 08 was a terrific improvement. A large amount of innovation was brought to a quickly stagnating series, and all of the additions were fantastic ideas, but on none of them did EA fully capitalize. We’re left with a shell of what could have been, reduced to pointless pontificator at “WHY??� with each apparently missing obvious feature we stumble across as we play. Fifa 08 set the ball rolling again, and now, in Fifa 09, is the time to perfect the wonderful new additions to the series.
Player faces like on tiger woods 08 where u can upload photo with digital camera!!!
I think u shud add stuff like black flip and front flip celebrations….wud also be interesting if the coaches were shown 3 or 4 times in a game…and strengthen da goalkeepers
*EA I’ve heard something like co-op season before.
*You should make 09 the best ever.
*By able to make realistic graphic for next generation not just only for ps3 and Xbox 360 and for the rest of the Game Consoles.
*You should able to make your own stadiums and have all the real stadiums not just fake ones understand.
*The aren’t many Leagues therefore you should make more like Russian League, Argentina League.
*The Cover of the game fifa it getting lame with only Wayne Rooney and Ronaldinho put someone else on like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
*The teams it should have all the players not just thirty of them and the footballer’s faces it doesn’t look real it look like to someone else in the game they only do there proper faces if it a know like Theory Henry
*The kits you should able to change it in manager mode when it at the end of each season or leave it. you can customize it change it sponsor and put it the shirt change the colour and make a design something like that it will be great .
*In Manager Mode before the Match begins there should be locker room is were you make your formations, subsition etc etc and you can able to talk to talk to players and the transfer seasons make it more interesting by making much better players at sales, loaning and free agents and how long you keeping player for in loaning half a season something like that. The training we should be able to watch it and make challenges for the players. The youth academy you at least 10-19 players in it and make them good and interesting and about were they come from understand more game Modes and International Manger Mode.
*The Cups you should make real cups not fake ones make UEFA CUP or EURO 2008
*Please do what I said ok
I think that the Greek league should be included in this game and that Greek players should be rayed higher. we will probably be sitting 6th in the world rankings by next month
U need da Russian league!!!!!!!
Zenit won da Uefa cup!!!!!
so yea………..
k first off, FEEEEEFAAAAAA rox, now the good stuff: AI rox, but obviously there’s some room for improvement, also, the goalies and there rating are pretty good, but the only thing is that, near post is the easiest shot to make in the world, but far post is un realistically hard, that needs to change, I mean not necessarily the far post, but common near post shots should be easier to save! Other notes, where the Russian league? I mean it’s the 6th highest ranked team in Europe, plus zenit won the Uefa cup, I mean why have the Irish league and not Russia seriously? I mean Russia is one ill actually play. Other leagues to consider: Argentina+ Ecuador, then u can make a mock copa libertadores which could only be described as epic. And despite my Irish premiership bashing, I do think the more leagues the better, and those hatin on league 1 and 2, well they don’t know what there saying, its awesome taking a team from league 2 up to the premiership. Also, i mean the stadiums are quality, but we need more, and also, what’s up with Germany having the most stadiums? is that just recover from the world cup? And speaking of the world cup, there should be some sort of national team manager or tournament mode with the euros/African cup of nations/gold cup/Asia cup/ and of course the world cup. Also, probably the biggest missing link, practice mode! I love the arena, but u need more! Some sort of stragy mode that they had in the world cup game would be cool. Also, inviting friends to play with u online is weird; I do how, but fix it. Also, i know its hard, but get that Dutch national team license cuz they are awesome, also add more national teams, u r missing some big names, especially African countries and Asian countries. also, make there more things to unlock, like all star and classic teams, it makes things more fun, plus add jerseys. Guys rock, i hope u listened
u should be able pick your own world eleven, add south American cup compitions, more international teams, wider variety of classic players, able to transfer your team to online play, able to create stronger players, longer league seasons and player birth.
Better camera angles,
I’d like a game where the guys move when and where you tell them to. I can’t stand how guys get caught up in little programmed runs that wind up losing them possession. The first touches need to be improved since 90% of the time, they hit it so hard that it gets stolen away immediately. It seems like once you stop running the guy has to sit and think about life for a second before he can start running again, even though he’s in front of a ball with an open net, he just takes a second to run in place while the defender clears it. Maybe make it so they have some ball control with turbo, i mean i know its hard to turn but the little 15 degree cuts aren’t doing anything. Most importantly the engine for ball handling needs to allow for free 360 degree movement, rather then the weird 45 degree angles that you’re stuck with now.
Also make penalties more of a challenge, it’s to easy to just hold down a button to shoot when in reality your in one of the most high pressure situation in sports.
1- Previous fifa didn’t have a limit on the number of teams and players you can create; now there is. change that back
2- all stadiums from all the top flight leagues should be the real ones, not just 3 or 4, and proper sponsors should be on the advertising boards
3- include stadiums in Australia for the a-league and other non European leagues to create more interest globally
4- give the ref a voice so you can hear him talking to the players when there are fouls
5- at half time show the players in the dressing rooms with the manager
6- more half time banter with the commentators
7- use more shots of the stadiums before the games, outside shots of fans walking in with commentators talking over the top of them
8- bids from other clubs for the managers
9- bring some of the football manager components into the game, where you can build training pitches, hotels, medical centres, youth academies and upgrade stadiums
10- apply for loans if your bank balance is getting too low
11- have the teams chants for the home crowds
12- have full stadium attendances when your team is doing well in the competitions and when the team is in a slump have less fans, like reality.. it will affect the teams performance and revenue therefore prompt you to play harder
There should be a button to press when you don’t want advantage when you get fouled because sometimes I want the free kick but it plays on
You should be able to change your shirt style on manager as years go by
During fifa manager you should be able to get picked as manager of international games and there should br no international friendlies during ecc matches. all the mad stadiums should be made and there is no luchniki stadium which is where the final champions league game was played. Depending on the team you should be able to play in the ecc the first year you start as manager. You should be able to see the bench and the manager. the graphics, the commentating and game play on ps3 is awesome and should stay the same.
the next fifa 09 should have the Argentinean league and the Copa libertadores.
can you guys put kaka on the left cristiano Ronaldo in the middle and Lionel Messi on the right in fifa 09 for usa and make fifa 09 for ps2
1-
The crowd there is no singing, no screaming
when Gerard scores at anfield that crowd screams jus a bit for about 20secounds
then that’s it quite again if fabregas scored 60th minute the crowd should go crazy till that end of the game and I mean loud make it more intensity.
and make that crowd sing scream go ballistic and make it loud so when we play we can really feel it and this crowd momentum should b only 4 the big teams as in arsenal and all that like a smaller club like fenerbahce it should be less screaming try n make it realistic.
2-Players faces, Hair styles should b improved
3- More stadiums like every stadium in the EPL and Seria A, and the Spanish
4-More different shots low shots, ground shots, curve shots, ballistic shots like from far distance
5-More different passes and thru balls
6- Different player movements this will be a hard one but anyway
kaka should b able to turn players quicker than other players
fabregas should have one of the best passing games best vision
7-And make that midfields travel more
like try n make that midfielders to make runs to tha goal area
like the midfielders cannot move and make runs towards the goal
and the mids should be able to come all the way back to tha back line and ask 4 the ball
8-Goalkeepers
more different saves, dives, jumps, full stretches and more
so if the goalkeepers where to improve more different saves and stretches, dives
u would have to put more different shots
Well that about it I now im a but this is my idea
ha-ha
please make fifa 09 for ps2 and also you guys should have all the international teams or at least top 50 or 100 and also in manager we should be able to control a international team. please give each and every team there own stadium real stadium
i think you should put the youngsters from the little leagues like Barcelona b and c and well i don’t know which one is not there i think there is no Barcelona b, but still the young players are a good necessity to fifa
________________________________________
FIFA 09 should have Copa Libertadores..
it shouldn’t have those coca cola leagues…anyways what is that???
more like south American clubs, from Ecuador, Colombia..
remember Copa Libertadores…
and the celebrities should be more entertaining
lets see be a pro career on 360 and ps3 and make player start in youth development
have some sort of tests to get to main team
training mode for be a pro career
clips from matches and sneak previews for team merchandise
i think dat when a player hits the ball in his hand in the area it should be penalty or when they or pulling u n u fall in the it should be penalty 2 n when u create a player dat the commentaries should say ur name
i think that u should put more different type of hair style n u should put the players level a little bit highest bcuz they run slower n dat u can create a team n u have 2 play story mode if u want ur team should be strong n if u can make all the Mexicans league stadiums if possible n there should be different types of soccer skits n that u can play n dat da commentary should say different thing in each game not da same n dat da camera can go see the bench when da ball is out im 100% Mexican n my favourite team is team America
2)Make more stadiums avalible
3)3rd kits should come as standard
4)First touch on most players is awful so you need to sort that out
I love FIFA but there's still alot of room for improvment
*its also good to show fans leaving the stadium when there are 7-8 mins left and you are losing etc
*PLAYER INTERVIEWS PLEASE!!!!!!!
2> I would like the idea of being able to change the football kits in manager mode at the end of each season to create realism.
3> I would like the Uefa Champions League music to play while the teams are entering the pitch in manager mode for Uefa Champions League games.
4> I would like more squad players to be added not just the "big boys" but also fringe players especially on the psp
5> I would also like only skillful players i.e. ronaldo, kaka, messi, aguerro to be able to do complicated tricks not players like vidic, cannavaro
6> I would like players to be able to dive and pull shirts
7> It would be better if you do not always get a foul given like in real life when there is a blatant foul but players protest and get yellow cards (the user can decide when to protest and when not to by pressing a button) like c.ronaldo when he throws his arms in the air.
8> I would also like there to be more than one user to be able to play in the football arena at one time
9> I would be grateful if the user could choose how to celebrate a goal i.e. with someone like drogba do you wish to dive on the floor, silence the crowd or do that aeroplane celebration he does.
10> FIFA 2009 WILL BE THE BEST EVER!!!! THANK YOU EA
• Player fatigue – difference in their play (unable to run as far/fast, at higher risk of becoming injured, sloppy passing)
• Team/player training should focus on periodised training, e.g. depending on what part of the season it is (pre season, mid season etc) depends on what your training focus on (e.g. pre season would focus on fitness, mid season would focus on passing etc). Failure to work on the right things would decrease your team rating.
• Individual player team rating i.e. a player who is a long servant of your team not only boosts your team rating but gives them a high rating, if you have a player who has played for a lot of different clubs will therefore decrease your team rating but will also give them a low rating, meaning that they may be a great individual player but will not necessarily play well in your team (i.e. someone like Nicolas Anelka). Reversely if you buy a player who has been a long servant at another club, they could still retain a high player team rating and bring a high team rating for their new team (i.e. Roy Keane – 12 seasons at Manchester United, last playing season at Celtic helped bring them the league and cup double). This would bring more thought, drama and consequence when buying new players and letting players go/sell them, as opposed to buying newer, highly rated players that easily slot into your team and bear no difference/consequence at all.
The look
• The bigger the game the more it should be built up. If for example you have a derby then this should be built up more than a usual game, the desire and motivation behind the game should be played up more too (e.g. a derby between man Utd and Liverpool is more about pride than points, this should be seen in newspaper reports before the game, and the commentators should constantly reference it in the game). If a game is about league position then this should be referenced in papers and a short promotional video beforehand (i.e. title clash in the papers, a shot of the ground its being played at, the players arriving at the ground in suits, a build up of the recent games leading to this one and a look at the league standing, this can be done for title clashes and relegation battles etc).
• Cup competitions should have a bigger feel to them too. Each round should reference previous rounds, short videos of battles between teams that lead to the current one. This should occur again at the final to really build up the occasion and the importance of it all.
• Of course celebrations at winning a cup, league etc should be a lot, lot, lot grander!
• Previous seasons should be referenced, if you win the league in a season, then next season you should be referred to as defending champions.
• All in all, if you are competing in the manager mode then the structure needs to be much tighter, if you are playing a champions league game, then your league form should be referenced etc. Player and team form should be referenced, and league top scorers etc should all be referenced. This should also be the same for your competitors e.g. if you play against a team battling relegation then this should also be referenced. And if you are competing for the league top spot then your rivals should be referenced even if you are not playing them (e.g. who they are and how they have faired in their game and what that means you have to do etc). This will allow much more of a hysteria that is in the modern game.
• Matches should be shown as if they were on TV.
Teams
• More realism – big clubs do better, simple fact really, I don’t like battling out the premier league between Birmingham, Aston villa etc. This would work if there was a natural progression e.g. a statement where there is a new club owner and the club goes on a spending spree, bringing in big names etc. But I don’t think there is this simple, realistic approach at the moment, as teams with less team rating, chemistry and lower rated players do better than teams that excel in these areas.
• Team progression, if a team is doing well then the best players will want to play for them, you will also be able to bring good players through your youth academy. Too often big clubs falter as more seasons occur because they make no actions in the transfer market and they also have no players coming through the ranks.
• More chances to make money, winning leagues, cups, etc should give more financial reward you should also be able to set up pre season tournaments (e.g. emirates cup) for money and high profile friendlies.
• More accurate runs should be made for your players too, so often I have crossed the ball high into the opposition’s area to have absolutely no players in there. This also occurs when you have a player run the ball into the opposing teams penalty area, the keeper comes towards you to challenge you, you pull a pass back and have absolutely no players in the box! When programming your AI team player runs please do not lose focus on the main objective of football is to get the ball into the opposition’s goal!
• Player control needs to be tightened up too. If a player has exceptional ball control then this should carry over into the game, ’08 was a bit too ‘clunky’ for my liking, usually the player has to bring the ball down and then run with it (allowing him to be tackled) or once the ball is coming to the player you cannot realistically move them (i.e. shield the ball from an opposing player, sprint with it straight away etc).
- There should be a way to make the ball swerve more but NOT by pressing the directional buttons AFTER the ball has been kicked. Instead it should depend on HOW you kicked the ball what part of your foot, body posture etc. Also wind should play a role in swerves. Finally, success should also depend on your player's swerving and passing ratings.
- There should be more types of weather conditions included as well as times of day like sundowns (sunsets) etc.
- Make shirts tuck out during matches as well as dirt and grass stains.
- Make players hairs move more, like pony tails etc. they look like a plastic hairdo.
- In be a referee mode add speech and make it possible to choose what things to say or choose things to do whenever you want to.
- Leagues to add; as many as you can but other than that, Russian League, Greek League, Argentinian League, Japanese League and maybe add an African and Middle Eastern Leagues, they dont seem to be represented in recent FIFA games. Maybe even make generic leagues and be able to edit them.
- Make mostly sellout crowds for English and German leagues, their games always seem to sellout as oppose to other leagues like Serie A etc.
- Show all the pregame passion and atmosphere around the stadium and city.
- Have fan commentators call the action.
- Add Women National teams and have a World Cup competition for them.
- Make a wide variety of body types, plus player heights; some players are tall and lean while others are short and stocky, etc...
- Add Zone Play and Be a Pro to ALL playing modes, including online mode.
Thats it for now, let me think of some more.....
Thanks and good luck to EA.
we realised in fifa 08 that theres a huge difference between fifa 08 for ps3 and the pc version
that didnt please a lot of people ' including me !
Example: You start at a smaller club in a lower division, and then after 2 or 3 good seasons a EPL (English Premier League) club comes asking for you as manager, rather than you getting to select a club per say...
As you earn manager points (go up from level 1 to 10), the bigger the club...
(so when you reach level 9 or 10 then the BIG clubs come asking for you)
aswell as all the other updates requested by others...
THANKS...
* Being able to controll the Goalkeeper on XBOX 360 as on the PS2.
* Being able to see the officials on the pitch
* Being able to see shots of managers reaction when key happenings occur in the game
* Freekick or penalty for handball
* The referees/linesmen decisions not always 100% as in real life, playback proves the ref was wrong on occations
*Being able to move on to international management when you prove yourself good enough in the manager mode.
*Being able to make a player dive to get a freekick or penalty, but yellow card if the ref knows he is diving
Thanks
when a team wins the play off semi final second leg at home the croud should invade the pitch
have the play off final at wembley
have all championship stadiums like loftus road
make the pitch a better size
1. A more in depth transfer market
2. The Russian League
3. IBROX STADIUM, PARKHEAD, HAMPDEN PARK
4. If the team you choose qualified for europe last season they should be in it.
5. Scout Reports.
6.the luchniki stadium.
2- the crowd, make them chant the name of a player who is on form, sometimes i hear the away chant more than the home chant which is weird, once i was playin france vs england and i heard '' rule britania britania rule the world''
3- a be a pro mode where u start in academy then move to lower clubs then go on to the club of ur dreams, developing ur player with the exp u get from matches
4- reserve fixtures and league which u can play or sim
5- have a senior and reserve squad were u can move players between them
6- u can see refs and linesman on the pitch when playin as well as subs warming up
7- see all players being subed and brought on as well as 4th offical and dugout with staff , managers and players
8- more cup celibrations and have fans run onto feild if the team is promoted to EPL
9-the ablity to save goal replays onsystem memory not only uploading
10- more stadiums have most of EPL and some championchip like st. andews and please put the real madrid stadium, i mean come on this is real madrid we are talkin about
11- the ablity to make enquiries in manager mode to find out what they want for a player
12- practice mode! the areana is great but we need a team pratice
13- the real holland team please
,please try to put some of the ideas and fifa 08 is awsome thanks for reading!
Be a Pro should absolutely extend beyond one simple season. You struck an innovative and awesome idea, but the execution, while impressive given that a new Fifa must be released a mere year after its predecessor, was incomplete. The idea of living out the life of a professional player is great, but you left out most of the real concerns of a professional player. How about the prospect of trades, contract (re)negotiations, even specialized training, in the form of minigames. What about a lack of control over the lineup, the reality that your poor performance in one game could mean the bench in the next?
Another possibility might include a merged Be a Pro and Manager Mode, in which the player captain takes over all Manager responsibilities, allowing those responsibilities to shift amongst players and be strived to attain.
Due to the complications potential trades in Be a Pro mode might represent to a multiplayer group, perhaps a separate Coop and Single Player Be a Pro modes should be considered. The Single player mode can dive deeply into the true issues facing one individual player over the length of his career, where the multiplayer mode might more closely resemble the Manager Mode hybrid mentioned above, with players competing for true control over the team.
Aside from innovation alone, there are many small faults in Fifa 08, most notably in Be a Pro mode, that I would love to see corrected.
**Why, for instance, is it not possible to sub your own player out in Be a Pro?
**Relatedly, why does your player not suffer a next game penalty for a Red Card? Obviously, injuries to your only player is pushing the envelope, but a Red Card is a Red Card. The loss of control for one game should be felt as penalty.
**Certain team tasks completely lose meaning when playing solo, as team tasks revolve solely around co-op teammates, not AI teammates.
**Why is there no way to view the League results as a Be a Pro game progresses, to see your clubs actual standing, as well as your own in competition for the usual Manager Mode positions such as top scorer in league, highest assists, best goals per game ratio?
**Why are there none of the many varied tournaments involved with Manager Mode in Be a Pro, but only the main league?
**Why is it not possible to view the detailed player results available post match during the match in Be a Pro, in order to check things like number of calls made compared to other players, since such tasks as "Make the most calls for the ball" give you only a Pass/Fail status in the active match indicator?
**Why is it that Be a Pro mode does not use the current My Squads setting, but automatically uses default squads, no matter what changes have been made to the squads by the player? This, in particular, seems like an irresponsible oversight or mistake.
**Why is there no way to play a tournament in either Be a Pro mode or Zone Play mode?
**Why is it not possible to play as a Goalkeeper in Be a Pro? This is an exciting prospect that many players would enjoy.
**Relatedly, why is it not possible for a Goalkeeper to play other positions, or for non-GK to play the GK position? All other positions are completely exchangeable. Surely, the Goalkeepers have stats other than GK stats, and non-GK have stats for Goalkeeping, even though they are unable. Why is this so? Why even have these stats for other positions if those positions can't be Goalkeepers? Surely it is conceivable that a Goalkeeper might also be a good defender, no? Why this arbitrary, impassable wall in the game's programming?
**Why is there no manner to add points to Supporting Attributes in Be a Pro? In previous Fifa games EA attempted to draw notice to the specialization of player positions, even granting Bronze, Silver, and Gold rating in a player's specialization in Fifa 07 for PSP. In Be a Pro mode, the opportunity exists for a player to have complete control over exactly how they develop, to allow them to specialize exactly as they choose, but the opportunity was not seized. In addition to automatic development of Supporting Attributes as your player levels, might not a few extra points to be distributed to Supporting Attributes only be a marvelous way to allow a player this complete level of customizability?
**Why can formations not be created as a player advances through a Manager Mode or Be a Pro game, but only before beginning a game? Is it not probable that in the course of a game, players might consider formation options that would work only with a certain newly acquired player? Or, even more common, is it not likely a manager might sign with a different team, losing not only access to plays he had the foresight to create for his old team, but also the opportunity to now, in adequate foresight, design formations to suit his new team? Formations created should not be assigned to a single team, at least not as a requirement, but ought to be available to all teams.
**In Be a Pro mode, your players actual face is displayed clearly in menus, yet in other areas of the game, created players, and even lesser known existing players, are represented by a blank silhouette. Why was this apparently new feature, the ability to read a players actual face for menu representation, rather than draw on specific face portrait images, not implemented throughout the entire game?
**Though purely aesthetic, why the swapping of the L1 and X functions? It is much more difficult, for example, to hold X and Circle simultaneously, to double team the opponent with the ball with simple automatic pressing, than it is to hold L1 and Circle simultaneously, and I see little other difficulty with the previous control setting that should have warranted the change.
**Why is it not possible to use unlocked balls in modes other than the simple Kickoff option? With so many balls so suited to match the various kits, surely a player in manager mode would enjoy playing with a ball appropriate to his team?
**A rather minor fact, but why the arbitrary 5-item limit on accessories?
**Facial Customization control are far from intuitive, as one must, through trial and error, determine what each direction on each joystick does. An interface with more individual options and a simple up-or-down control for each might prove more efficient than trying to lump similar features together in one, double-stick manipulated option. Furthermore, it would make it possible to rotate your character at all times, even when a particular facial feature is being manipulated.
**Why is it not possible to create a player who is a free agent, or who is not immediately assigned to the squads at all, but is kept in memory. The creation of god-characters can prove a short-term amusement, but the laughter ends when you begin a new Manager Mode only to find your divine plaything a tool in a rival club's hands.
**The addition of a voice for the Referee would be interesting, to be used in cutscenes where players are disciplined.
**The possibility of taking out a loan in Manager Mode might be interesting to explore. Obviously, if it were not repaid in due time, the board would be severely displeased.
Fifa 08 was a terrific improvement. A large amount of innovation was brought to a quickly stagnating series, and all of the additions were fantastic ideas, but on none of them did EA fully capitalize. We're left with a shell of what could have been, reduced to pointless pontification at "WHY??" with each apparently missing obvious feature we stumble across as we play. Fifa 08 set the ball rolling again, and now, in Fifa 09, is the time to perfect the wonderful new additions to the series.
