u should be able to get sponsers on the kit
so its not just plain black, plain white.etc
Punch
Sware
get angry at the ref
so u can dive to the right and to the left and slide.
and be able to pick up the ball even if its passed back
to give away a freekick.
If u shoot using the circle and R2 buttons your shooting into the top part of
the goal.
If you shoot with just circle u can aim for the bottom half of the goal.
This way u can do a very powerful shot into the bottom corner without
it going over the goals.
so if the keeper is out u can chip him from outside the box
and he wont have any time to run back and
save it.
It would also look more realistic.

2) Have you ever wondered that the scale of objects in the game doesn't match? the most vivid example is the goalkeepers which are way too big comparing to the size of the goal..
3) Overally FIFA doesn't seem much like real football ! I don't know why but I think after FIFA 99 the developers are going the wrong way.... Things happening on the field when you are playing Pro Evolution Soccer are much like things which happen during real football matches.....Even the way players walk with the ball is funny!
Everyone wants to play a game which simulates real football as much as possible, and this is FIFA's biggest problem.....I would like to see FIFA 09 different from others by the basics.

4. Don't change the manager mode much apart from what has been suggested before but don't make to complicated or day-by-day.
5. More accurate player ratings.
6. Be-a-Pro mode should be like manager mode only in the perspective of the player that has been chosen or created.
7. Players shouldn't be as injury prone as they are in 08.
8. Customisable players, ie. haircuts, whether to wear gloves or not, hats.
9. The interactive celebration should be fine-tuned.

9. Injured players to be carriedoff on stretchers and injuries for longer and shorter durations e.g borken anckles , noses etc.
10. Dressing room cut scenes at half time or pre match.
11. Better presentations after winning a trophy.
12. Varying weather during games

16. Fans to be in club colours.
MOST IMPORTANTLY MIX AND MATCH HOME AND AWAY KITS
I am a very passionate FIFA fan and this years' edition of FIFA 08 on the Microsoft XBox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 has been a huge success. I know that many, many fans are pleased with the end result that FIFA 08 has achieved this year. But as a summary of the game and looking at pros and cons of the gameplay. I have been able to come up with a large brainstorm of things to be improved on for the next edition, FIFA 09. Here are my improvements; I have also taken ideas from other FIFA users and implemented them into my summary. Some are essentials and some are not. Never-the-less, I feel that with these ideas in mind, FIFA 09 can be an even bigger success than that of the current FIFA edition.
FIFA 08 pros:
1) Overall gameplay is very good, free flowing and graphical quality is brilliant.
2) When skill moves are pulled off and successfully done, they look superb to see and also to replay back in the Instant Replay option.
3) The AI of the players is very good and players seem real and most of the time play 'life-like'.
4) The intuitive FIFA 08 podcasts, to keep gamers updated of current affairs and league/team and also game information.
5) The free-roam arena mode where gamers can practise skills moves, penalties & free-kicks.
FIFA 08 cons
1) Players (on the pitch) fall over to easily and too much during gameplay.
2) There is no in-game referee of match official/s
3) If both teams playing, substitute more than one player at any one time. The game doesn't physically show that. It only shows one player being substituted and the remaining substitutes are shown by written text at the bottom of the screen.
4) Certain/Some players don't have the appropriate hairstyle. For example, Joe Hart of Manchester City is shown to have no hair, when in real life he has hair.
5) Created players and also other players names in-game have no call name from the commentator.
6) There is a slight delay, only very slight.. in the time it takes to pull off skill moves. From the time that the gamer inputs his control movement to the time the player on-screen actually corresponds with the instruction.
7) CPU controlled players hardly show/do skill moves. Even top players hardly do their trademark skill moves. Only when controlled by the gamer him or herself, is the skill moves seen to be done.
8) It feels & looks like players lose the ball too easily from collisions and open ball movement.
These are my improvements that I have brainstormed for FIFA 09;
1. Shirt Length: In the edit mode, when editing a players shirt length (short/long). I'd like to imply the idea of a 'medium' length. For example: How Cristiano Ronaldo currently has his sleeve length when playing for Manchester United. (Sleeves are half way up/down his forearms).
2. Wrist Bands With New 'Medium' Shirt Length: With *idea 1* in mind, to imply the idea of a player being able to wear wrist bands with a medium sleeve length shirt. Again, this is referring back to Cristiano Ronaldo when playing for Manchester United.
3. Different Coloured Licenced Boots: Again, still in the edit mode. When selecting boots to give to players (including ones that have been bought & unlocked in the 'Fan Shop'), to imply the idea of being able to change the colour of boots. For example: If a pair of white and red (heel) Nike Mercurial Vapors are made available through the 'Fan Shop' mode. Each time, when selecting them for a player, the boot colour can be changed with a colour palette that are actually available for that type/style of boot.
4. Create-A-Player: When creating a player and using the EXP points that have been bought/purchased through the 'Fan Shop'. There should be enough points for the player to make him an elite player with an overall of '90'. Meaning created players can do skills moves like the 'Rabona'. etc.
5. Player Animations: More player animations; such as free-kick styles, penalty styles & corner styles that are typical/associated with certain players. Such as the way Ryan Giggs of Manchester Utd takes corners in FIFA 08 currently. And also for cut-scenes, for example; When a player is penalized for a foul (but not given a booking). At certain times, the player argues with the referee as he feels that the tackle/challenge for the ball, wasn't a foul.
6. Referee's & Officials: To have a fully viewable referee running around on the pitch with the players and also possibly the linesmen aswell.
7. Team Substitutions: When making a substitute.. If implementing more than one substitute at once for the same team, then to imply the idea of showing who is being brought onto the pitch and possibly show the exchanging players interact with each other. (i.e clap hands together. etc.) and show a team official showing the number board for the players being exchanged.
8. Skills With Pace: Being able to run at a faster pace when doing skills like stepovers (not reverse stepovers) as I feel currently, the speed can is and feels slow when running. For example, looking at how Cristiano Ronaldo uses stepovers at speed in real-life. Also the 'Ronaldo Chop' skill move needs to be a little more at an 85 to 90 degree angle as I feel it is a little too much at a 45 degree angle. A video to show both of these skills is below:
YouTube - cristiano ronaldo 'The Stepover King'
9. Skills On Opponents: For the opponent to actually respond more to the skills being done on them. Have a look at the following video taken from FIFA 07 on the PS2 for a more specific insight on the opponents reactions to skills.
YouTube - FIFA 07 - New Skill Moves
10. More Players In Arena: To be able to add more players to the arena for use a wall when practising free-kicks, players in the goal area when taking corners. etc.
11. Weather conditions: To be able to play in most weather conditions, such as; rain, snow. (In both 'kick-off mode' and 'manager mode'. And maybe if the snow or weather is too bad to play, the match is 'occasionally' postponed.
12. Night mode: To be able to play matches at night time in manager mode. As currently in FIFA 08, all matches are played in daylight.
13. Commentary: Prevent commentators stopping trivial commentary in the middle of a goal abrubtly, when a player reaches the box and shoots, if he misses the shot on goal. The commentator continues with the trivial commentary. etc.
14. Ankle Tape: To have 3 choices of ankle tape to use on players/created players. The choices would be: 'No tape' 'white tape' (which is the style of tape used on players in the game currently) And the last style of tape would be tape that covered the whole foot (from the bottom of the shin to the sole of the foot). A lot of wingers and strikers use this type of tape i.e Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani. etc.
Here are some ideas that I've looked at from other gamers and have taken some of the more useful and appetizing ideas to suggest:
1) Better cameras
2) Different types of speeds for different players
3) A proper training mode
4) More skill moves
5) In normal play gamers should be able to see the manager and the substitutes on the bench. In normal play, gamers only see the manager and the substitutes when there is a substitute.
6) To be able to kick the ball away when the referee has awarded the opposite team a free-kick or penalty. At the risk of getting a card.
7) As it is a modern day thing now in football, nobody likes to see it, but to keep the realism in the game. Be given the ability to dive, but if the referee knows it was a dive. The player may get a yellow or a red card.
8) To be able to see the mud stains on the players shirts and shorts when they fall over from a tackle. etc. in the rain.
9) To show players lifting the trophy/shield at a cup/shield victory.
10) Being able to use the XBox Live Vision camera to put your face in the game on created players.
11) Being able to save replays to your console's hard drive.
12) The idea of hand-balls and accidental hand-balls.
13) Make cold weather games, where players wear field gloves and when they exhale gamers can see their breath.
14) Have players exchange jerseys at the end of matches.
15) More scoring celebrations.
16) Free-kicks tweaked a little so they are a little easier to score.
17) Bring back Visual-Sim
18) Have the chance to choose how players wear their shirt, eg. Long shirt but sleeves pulled, also give the option of arm-length thermal skins same colour as kit, but with t-shirt on top (Wayne Rooney).
19) Change ECC and EFA to UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup (Dependant on whether licensing can be acquired.
20) Be able to mix & match kits (Teams sometimes wear either a mixture of home clothes with away or 3rd kit clothes.
21) Official TV so its presented on Match Of The Day or Sky (Again, if the licensing can be acquired).
22) Loan deals to also be done in months, not just until the end of the season.
23) Player requires stretcher after a serious injury.
24) Be able to bring GK up for corners late in game.
25) Weather affects ball physics.
26) Be able to stop & start when taking a penalty kick, like C. Ronaldo
27) Crowd wear club colours/shirts.
28) Ability to wear gloves (only in cold weather conditions) but to also be able to wear short sleeves (Steven Pienaar).
29) Be able to pick a commentary name for created players.
30) Integrate Rumble features (Hitting the Post, Crunching tackles etc.).
31) In Manager Mode pay player wages weekly, not after every match.
32) Have Home and Away GK jerseys.
33) Don’t have 3rd kits as unlockable extra's, they should be available from the start.
34) Delayed offside decisions, The players all celebrate until they notice the Linesman’s flag.
35) Real + Photo-realistic Referees
36) Be able to wear neck-warmers (Rolando Bianchi, Manchester City)
37) Have different size pitch dimension (Emirates Stadium is very wide but Div 2 England is short and narrow)
38) Don’t have the defenders congratulating the forward after a goal all the time, this is unrealistic.
39) More personalized menus, In FIFA 2004 the background was of your favourite teams jersey.
40) Lots more multiple choice questions in Manager Mode, after 1 season you seem to be getting the same ones again and again.
I feel that the current and recent FIFA games on the Next-Gen consoles (Microsoft XBox 360 & Sony Playstation 3) are of high class, but I think that with these ideas being implemented in the next edition in the FIFA series. We (as a gaming/FIFA gaming community) may be looking at the most realistic football experience.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your time and dedication in making the FIFA game franchise. And also to thank you for making the FIFA game franchise a success that it has become today and for taking the time to read my input.
Yours Sincerely

1) Fix the scheduling bug. If you have to play a cup game on Saturday or Sunday, but you you have a League game scheduled that day, then let the player select a later open date to play that day's scheduled League match. Windows 95 had it, so XBox 360 and PS3 should be able to handle the code.
2) Bring summer transfer activity and pre-season friendlies to the next-gen consoles.
3) Proper stadiums for cup finals (Wembley, Bernabeau, Stade de France, etc...). The European Cup final has never been played at Stamford Bridge, to the best of my knowledge.
4) A more in-depth scouting system, or a youth team set up that you invest in, like any other coach.
5) League-specific stadiums available via DLC. Halo has map packs, why can't FIFA give me the "Premier League Stadium Pack" for $4.95 and add White Hart Lane, Villa Park, Goodison Park, Riverside, etc... to my hard drive?
I think all users of the next-gen consoles recognize that this year's FIFA team spent almost all of its time and money working on the new gameplay, and we appreciate that. The logical next step is to recover the top-to-bottom presentation and attention to detail that mad us all fall in love on the Playstation, PS2, Xbox, etc...
2. Better animations, and AI for the game. E.G: When a player scores et just stops for a second and then starts running to celebrate. That should change into one fluid movement: he shoots and before the ball even crosses the goal line he should already be in position to run. Try to look at real football games to see. I know that must be hard to do though^^- And there should be more and better animations like new shots or dives from the goalkeepers.
3. This is imperative: The goalkeepers are way too good!! A good example is on 1v1 with a player, if you get too close and try to dribble him, it's impossible. The goalkeeper just jumps immediatly at the ball. They do that way to fast. They should get down much slower, they should be able to be dribbled and if they want to get a ball from a player on 1v1 they should miss it sometimes and either commit a foul on the player or just let him pass (one should be allowed to pick to commit the foul or not, with the use of a button or a key, but in that case there could be a risk of getting a red card or something, that would be cool).
4. This might be a bit hard to do, but can't you add a type of shot. I am referring to a kick to which you can give an effect. It's like a finesse shot, but more sophisticated. Right before the player kicks one should be able to give a kind of effect to the ball (several kinds: interior curve, exterior curve, back spin for slow floating kicks, and whatever more you can think of) with the use of a key or something. You also add an exterior kick to the game, in addition to the finesse shot and the chip shot. The finesse shot also gives a curve when one shoots but only an interior one. It would be nice to have an exterior kick. I think the players do it sometimes, automatically, depending on the situation, but it would be nice to be able to have more of a choice for the kicks one wants to do.
5. Please make sure the game doesn't require too much for a computer, despite the graphics and animation improvements.
6. In manager mode, there should be cinematics. Like when a player is transfered there should be a cinematic in the press conference room or whatever. There should also be the possibility to trade players as mentioned before. E.G: Eto'o for Van Persie+10million. There should be more difficulty with transfers. I mean, I usually play with Fiorentina, a four star team, nothing really special, etc... And after like 4 seasons my team is already a five star team!! I just sold one of my expensive strikers and bought all of the best players... And when you reach the point when you have a five star team, the manager mode starts to get boring. It gets too easy and you get mountains of money etc... Basically what I mean is that manager mode is too easy. I mean in real life a random four star team doesn't just become the best team in the world after a few seasons. If you could try to add some more factors which would make the manager mode harder to "manage"^^, that would be great.
7. This is sort of a question. Why didn't you ever put Mutu in the game? In FIFA 2007 it was Petrovici and in FIFA 2008 it's Murgu, lol. His face is completely different too... Basically you just replaced him with another player with a similar name, same position, same style, referring to him I guess. So can't you really put him in the game? Or is it because of his past that you don't?...
Moreover to all of this, I also agree with most, if not all, of the other suggestions given below, but I thought it would be useless to repeat them.
Thank you.
should be able to manage an international team.
your sponsor must actually show when playing, not the the real life one.
demo for each skill
more skills
more reds and yellows
2) The commentators don't always have to agree with the ref, they always LOVE the advantage ruling, even if it's from a defensive situation.
3) The ref making offside faults. Don't have to be perfect all the time.
4) Stop the players from running into each other, thereby loosing the ball. It happens too often.
5) More realistic simulated matches. Had a league where Arsenal finished 18th and Man Utd 12th.
