Your Ideas for FIFA 09

Have the Uruguayan League and the Coper Libertadores. Since Uruguay won the 1st ever World Cup i think they should deserve that.

Hello EA staff and dear users,

I know that I might be kind of annoying for some to start a whole new thread just to ask for one request for FIFA 09, but I find this request very important and possible to be made, hence posting it in its own thread.

The Suggestion:

Basically Removing all in-match cut-scenes and replacing them with in-game none stop animation system that I will call: "Animatics"

The Theory:

FIFA 08 and older releases always relayed on building and applying what is known as "cut-scenes", and this method has worked well during old-gen gaming for many reasons, including the need of load times and making the game more of a movie type of thing. I personally believe that FIFA 08 on next-gen (at least) has built a new path for FIFA coming series; new for the gamers and the developers as well, and finding the right solutions based on the new engine are much easier. I must say that one of the things that makes me feel other competing football games more real is not only because of player animations or ball physics but it also comes to camera positioning and action direction. In real life, when a player commits a foul and the camera changes to a different unit on the field the player who committed the foul and the injured player are "logically" standing in the same place or area our inner brains wants us to believe, but in FIFA series cut-scenes always ruin that feeling of "logic" hence making our inner brain confused; we might not feel it at that moment, our brain process will make us hate something about it, and then call it "not real".

The Replacement:

Other competing football game titles have managed to do my idea but without refining player face reactions and body physics as EA did with FIFA 08, making each game title better than the other in some way. I believe that FIFA 09 should include a new revamped animatic system to replace in-match cut-scenes. These animatics should be flowing like a player's jump or a player's run, and when a player falls on the ground the camera should change into a zoomed position and keep running the animatics as if nothing other than the camera has moved; With this implanted in the game we can see some player running to the side line and picking a bottle of water while the referee stops two players from arguing with each other, and if a player is on the ground the teammates around him can look to the direction of the referee and call him to blow the whistle for medical assistance, this form of action was introduced in FIFA 08, but need to be implemented in a new way, just like what I explained. Animatics should be in huge numbers; if the player falls on his back we should have 5+ animations for CPU to pick from, and if the player is in offside the defense of the other team should be looking towards the referee during protest that the player is in offside, and this brings up the issue of having good referee timing, or in other words "real" time for judging on a foul or an offside meaning that the referee shouldn't blow the whistle in the exact millisecond the player committed the foul. give the game more space and slower CPU responses with the animatics system.

The Tech View:

Cut-scenes have to take some space in the overall game capacity on the playable media (disk), and replacing them with these built-in-game animatics would and should not be a problem. The main trick here is to tweak the FIFA engine to make it start an animatic sequence for some actions within the field and during the gameplay without having any black fades (cuts) or transitions. EA has already introduced such technology in making the players' foots follow the ball, which it proved on its own to be very reliable technology and very realistic reaction; the fluidity of the moving legs and foots makes a very good proof to what I am trying to suggest.

The Conclusion:

A very fluid game, no cuts, no inner-mind hate and the best of all, unlimited actions with clean, logical physics within the field and without the need of watching some action over and over again with the same reaction and the same field position.

My Take:

I wish I could be inside the EA studios and labs so that I can explain more and direct a bunch more. I would love to see this game competing with other genres when talking about quality and realism.

Take care, and good luck on FIFA 09!

bring back INDOOR MODE!!!!
like in fifa 98

Champions League and UEFA Cup

create a club and realistic celebrations. classic x1 include players like, pele, zidane, platini, shearer

That you do not have to unlock all 3rd kits and all the weather on evry stadium such as:sunset,snow,night,wet sunny day.and times of day changing in maches.

please bring a free agent pool!!!
Players which team are not in fifa, but are in the game at their national team, can you put in in this pool.
very intresting for true football lovers, who like to have a realistic game. also when a player of for example parma goes to moskou, you can transfer the player to the free agent pool.

I think that it should have more realistic results because on my fifa 08 chelsea got beat 3-0 by derby.

Add Bulgarian Football League

ME!! AND THE BLUE SQAURE PREMIER PLZZZ FOR A VERY SPECIAL PERSON CALLED JASON DIX

1.Lower League Teams Like Oxford Utd(lower league uk)
2.Scottish 1st,2nd and 3rd divisions

i think u should have the Blue Square premier league plzz

You could add some Latin American leagues and/or teams, Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito for example has been doing great lately, not to mention those that are still alive and rocking the Copa Libertadores. I mean Latin America never has much to show in FIFA games excpet nationals.

Don't forget to keep Ecuador as a national team......

you should put some carribean team like Haiti , Trinidad n Tobago

you should put HAITI in fifa 09

I think you guys should do something so online you can build your dream team the more you win the more you can afford better players. And add NETHERLANDS AND IRAN

cutomize your jersey's at the end of every season to make it more realistic. get's boring seeing them weaer the same jersey

Do Something like player mode when you get to go a created player making your way up to the big teams gettin deals with nike do press conferences if your creating your own player upload a photograph nd it puts your real face on the player

I think i would like to see quite a lot more things on fifa 09 like : .more boots all different colours of eg nike total 90s not just the one colour .when a substitute is coming on you get to watch him warm up see the manager talk to him about the tactics and with the other substitutes sittin on the bench in the background .if a player gets injured the physio runs on with for example if the player is playing for arsenal the physio wears an arsenal tracksuit .the referee wears what ever league uniform eg barclays premiership umbro kit and the linesmen also and you see them through not just when a player is getting a yellow card .when a sub is coming you see him aswell with the fourth official holding the number board also with a eg barclays premiership umbro tracksuit etc

You should add the chilean liegue

I will the dutch license in tha game now in 8 years time old leagues Finland,malasya,greece,israel.

stadiums all the stadiums ANZ Stadium
stadiums japan,
stadiums euro 2000
rugby stadiums 2007.
trinidad tobago

do you no like in real life you should get matches postponed

should include pre season friendiles.

1. manage a national side, (be able to do WCQ, world cup, euro, gold cup, etc.)
2. quick free kick and throw ins
3. be able to move wall on freekicks
4. change freekick and corner kick taker on the spot
5. call handballs!
6. two guys on the ball on freekicks
7. create your own club (stadium, kits)
8. quick online tournaments
9. and maybe, a dive button, you either get the call or you get a yellow card, sadly it is part of today's game

id like to have the football teams to have some of their youngsters on the game which they have in real life like for example i want to see craig lindfield on the game from liverpool

these ideas on fifa 09 please:
1. loads of real player faces
2. snowfall during winter matches
3. be a pro mode camera to be like in gta san andreas behind the player for the ps2 please
4. make the high rated players have there own playing style
5. better free kicks
6. santiago bernabeu
7.in manager mode if another match is being played then have the latest scores come up from them matches like in fifa world cup 2006.

thanks for now

If we could MAKE OUR OWN STADIUMS THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PC VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS

iran league plz

online on fifa 09 when it comes out you should have to make your team to go online not just pick any

ibrox and hampden

WATP

1. Argentinean and Colombian leagues
2. UEFA and Champions League
3. South American Cup
4. World Cup
5. More legendary players on the world teams, Maradona, Cruff? c'mon man where are they
6. Copa Libertadores
7. More realistic players

I think the main problem is that it is not realistic.When you see watford wiining the premiership...u don't feel like playing further at all..I think manager mode should be more advanced..with real life things..change of club owner..TV funds..Playing in europe bonus e.t.c...

I know that EA and FIFA/UEFA give anything about fairplay,
but that's not the point in football. Nowdays football replaces war
so the ultras, the hoolignas, las hinchas are na spine cord of the
game. Whithout them there would be no great football. In many clubs
they somehow reflect directly upon the squad list, the changes of the manager and even of the president.

SO...EA HAS TO INVOLVE THE STADIUM, THE CROWD, THE ULTRAS,
THE HOOLIGANS IN THE GAME.
Fights, fireworks, breaking the stands, police, players hit by flying objects,
banners with tipical symbols and logos, tipical for each fraction chanting,
even clashes outside the stadium. And of course, great influence of all that to the
situation on the pitch, the players, the score...
If even part of all that is presented in FIFA 09 the game will be
real masterpiece. Not just game for the game, but real simulation of what is most important after the bread. You know in Roman Empire...
Give the game to the real fans. We'll worship it.

please add romanian, argentinian, greek., ukrainian and russian leagues !!! i would be very hapyy for that ! the most people want these leagues in fifa 09!exclude sweedish czech polish danish leagues because their top clubs are very week in the real life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN YOU PLEACE PUT ALL THE STADIUMS OF PREMIER LEAQUE,M BUNDES LEAQUE , LA LIGA AMD FRANCE LEAQUE HEI!!!!!!!!

1. more stadiums and minimum 1 national stadium in every contries

"Ali" has some great ideas. please listen to him. I love FIFA so please, for the 2009 FIFA choose all these awesome ideas. I know it's a lot of work but still.
Thank you!!!

I think you should be able to use a camera for your game system and create a player that looks like you using your picture.

make more realistic referies

1. more stadiums and minimum 1 national stadium in all contries
2. more leagues = russia, grecce, Lithuania, ghana, and minimum to leagues in all contries
3. uefa cup and champions league i manager mode
4. Realistic Faces For Almost every Player
5. Realistic footballs to every club

First person cam view for FIFA 09 - in "BE A PRO". Like this Nike ad spot : https://youtube.com/watch?v=_lVrvnlLUwE

1. more stadiums such as HAMPDEN !!!!!!
2.Better free kick situations
3.put champions league not the ecc and uefa cup not the efa!!! in manager mode.
4.better player rating.
5.on manager mode tranfers u should be able to search for player age and skill
6. more leagues!!!!
7. more internationals and tourneys

Most of the players with a real face have real boots too, but if you edit player you can only make there boots as the made up ones, i think you should be able to choose what boot every player wairs e.g - Danny Haynes For ipswich town just has generic white boots but then when you edit his boots you could make him wair mercual vapors.

put in the malta premier league and create club option in fifa 09
