hey i have played fifa since fifa 2000 ....... big fan but ...... thers things mising in the game....

1" you should see the: subs, referee, and clips of the subs interacting while there is a substitusion

2' more stadiums

3'' THE ARGENTINIAN LEAGE

4'' AND WHEN A PLAYER RETIRES THERE SHOULD BE A FAREWELL MATCH
.
i think they should put the ARGENTENAN league !!!!!!!

I would like to see them develop this one for iMac play as well.

Have EA embrace the mod world. Allow the db file to have double the expansion capability. At 448mb it limits what you can add how much of it. I like to add stadiums, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier leagues, more tournaments, etc.

Create a pre-season, or mini camp to improve individual players (based on the Madden NFL concept).

Keep improving AI.

Love the FIFA Series. Please continue making it and improving it.
To have every stadium and to put different people on the front cover.

- Have a new mode of Competitions. For instance there should be a world cup mode with the 2006 world cup. In this mode you should be able to choose a team and play all their qualifying matches as well as the group and finals stages.
Other competitions should include:
- Champions League
- European Cup etc.

Another good addition would be to have more in depth tactics. For instance when playing manager mode you should be able to create manouvers for your players to complete, so then when you play a match and you win a corner the players run and make leads to certain positions.

Also FIFA 09 should have as many international teams as possible. One team that must be included is IRAQ, especially considering their success in the Asian Cup.

By the way dont forget to release FIFA 09 for ps2 and Xbox. It would be a shame to lose support over a console issue.
amen sam go astralian players a re the best
My Idea's for Fifa 09 on Ps3, Pc & Xbox 360
- Better customization e.g. Put rolled sleeves into 09 because some of the players are wearing them now e.g. Christiano Ronaldo & Fabragas. (put this option on edit player). You should also allow Edit player on manager mode so the gamer can edit any players boots, jerseys, sleeves and accoseries.
- More realistic players and gameplay. Make the players more realistic e.g. Christiano Ronaldo, in Fifa 08 he does look like a bit like him but it needs improving like i think you should change his hair style to what it is now (short, spiky & strieked), add rolled sleeves on to him and the new Nike Vapour boots. Also i think that the players are too bulky like Wayne Rooney for example. For gameplay id like to see the wheather and day, duck & night matches on Manager mode.
- More realistic Manager mode. Add real sponsers on manager mode Real channels like Sky sports News and satanta, bring back visual sim and pratise mode. I more realistic Transfer window and peague table. First of all i think you should improves the transfer because there's hardly anyone good on it and no over team buys any players or sells them. The league table is very good because im always Manchester United and i always see the other top teams e.g. Arsenal, Chelsea and liverpool scraping in the top 10 or not init.
- Better crowd - Make the crowd sing the team songs more loud n clearly. I think thw crowd should also be wearing the team's kits and be waving their scaves and jump up and cheers instead of sitting there and clapping like they did fifa 08.
- Gameplay... Add refs, linesmen and forst officials to the game. And have a choice to keep your manager in real life, so like say if your Manchester United beable to stay with Sir Alex Ferguson or make a new one, You should also be able to see you manager cheering or arguing with the ref, you should be able to see your teams manager as well. Subs warming up as they are about to come on and better cheering celebrations. I would also like to see different players controling the ball, using different kind of skill, running with the ball depending what player it is e.g. If Christiano Ronaldo is on the ball he should run like he does in real life n have some skills and other players can't use. Also ( this is very important) When you win a trophie be able to see your Team lifting it up when you win it.
More selections like more Trainers, third kits, more accessories and footballs to unlock or buy. Also like fifA 06 AND 07 unlock last seasons preview.
- Awards.. On Fifa 09 you should be able to save replays and get points that you can use in the fan shop. by winning Goal of the month, player of the month, manager of the month, manager of the year, young player of the year, fans player of the years and Fifa player of the year. Do well and sponsers would want to sponser some of your players.
A Be A Pro Mode season offline. It was a great idea to make Be A Pro, but it needs a season, getting sponsors, boot sponsors, and just living like a footballer in the change rooms and after match reactions. Also, if you get sent off you shoould have a confidence level which goes up and down through out the game or if you are going througha tough spot in the season, you will start off with low confidence. Back to getting sent off, if you do, you should be able to watch the match from the dug-out and be able to see the players beside you.

The game also needs more facial expressions and facial detail. And why id Gabriel Agbonlahor white? I dont get it, the commentators say his name and all, he's fast just like on real life but he is dark skinned.

The players should also play more like they play in real life e.g Cristiano Ronaldo needs to perform more tricks and trick the defenders, not just when your the player, when your defendoing as well. Gerrard and Lampard and Riise need to be made to shoot from long distances and so on...
We need more boots. I am a huge fan of the FIFA series and im 15 from Australia, and know everything there is about football. I have a collection of the games including euro 2004 and the world cups all the way from FIFA 98. So, more mercurials need to be used ( i have them), nike lasers, tiempos, the new adidas powerswerves.
And change Aston Villa to 4 and a half star, theyr brilliant! And skepper Gareth Barry is way better than just 80 in his overall skills. Thanx FIFA, hope you make a good one!
makesure your next fifa you dont give teams advantages...we all know what youv done and its really ing annoying,IF ITS THE SAME ON FIFA 09 then alot of people wont buy it
I think for the cover of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo needs to be on the front cover, Rio Ferdinand and Kaka or Messi. Why the hell is ronaldinho and rooney onit .......... their s***e.
How come in manager mode the clubs have no reserve team? and why don't they have an academy? You should be able to buy staff instead of just upgrading it. And the gameplay is so bulls*** too.
you need to be able to see the manager and be able to create him so it will show his features when the teams are playing. Another idea should be, when you play manager mode, after a while (2 Years) you can change you shirt sponsor, so it will show it when you are playing.
The game play in FIFA 08 is bulls***, they should make the gameplay more realistic too. And fix manager mode.
They should make manager mode more realistic by incorporating some of the ideas in football manager 2008. And make the game play more realistic too.
you should have the ability to create a team and stadium like in madden. also, you should have the freedom to to make your "created player " as good as you want wiht out have to get points over time, you should be able to make him however you want with no point system
Chilean League for fifa 09 please
i think when you are in manager mode if you are doing a good job you should be able to get called up to manager your national team or any national team and then you should be able t pick the squad for the game and have to get permissions for the players managers anmd stuff.
Creat a team mode: it should be possible to take kits of nike puma adidas... and realistic shoes
You should creat a indoor field again like in 1998
Some International Squads R Not Added Or Added Without Famous Players (Netherlands 4 Instance) So Please Make Sure 2 Add All International Squads Right.
Make Sure 2 Add The Latest Squad Updates
Please Add Real Player Faces

I think you should also put the international team for Fifa 08 and get all of the international teams. I also think you should put videos inside the game like tutorials of how to shoot a soccer ball, how to play defense, midifielder, striker. Videos on how to dribble. Training should be in manager mode, so u can watch your players practice or you can help them practice their skills on the pitch. I think should also put in a Uefa Champions League Tournament.
keep australian league. make it easier to do tricks without losing the ball. show how the injured player is injured.be able to train your team. make the youth in the development better.make easier to shoot from long range.make it easier to slide takle in the box and win the ball, on 08 in the box i always slid in and won the ball but at the same time took the player and got a penaalty against me.have fights out on the field.in manager mode be in charge of national team. make a real champions league and ueafa not ecc and efa. show altercations in thunnel and in bars if the have them
in career mode you should be able to become the manager of an international soccer team if your a really good coach and if you become the coach you'll be able to take the international team to the world cup
Hello dear developers! Forgive for my English. I'm fan FIFA from 99 years!
I would like that in 09 FiFA system BE a PRO has been advanced. Very much it would be desirable that you have resolved:
1. make replacement of the player for which I play.
2. A season for this mode insufficiently. Can will increase? I would like to live a life this football player!
3. Very-very important! I would like that also the goalkeeper it was possible to play to career!

Thanks!
In Fifa 09:
1- Champions League music before games
2- Playing finals at Wembly instead of your home stadium and when you win the trophy there is a stand made where the players collect their trophy and the runners up collect medals.
3-In manager mode you should be able to create a manager and they should stand on the side line in boxes next to the opposition manager . Also, real managers should be on the sideline for example Wenger and Ferguson like in the Euro demo.
4- No stupid fouls like when you get the ball and the ref blows his whistle but there wasn't any foul.
5- You should be able to power up through balls so when you do a through ball over the defence it doesn't just go straight to the keeper.
6 - A few more Premier League stadiums not just the top fours.
7- Refs are actually on the pitch, lines men are running up the side lines and raise their flags when you're offside, sometimes they get it wrong aswell.
8- Your subs actually sit on the bench and you have to tell them to warm up 5 minutes before they come on or they can get injured.Also, injuries can be months long and when the player returns it takes them a while until they play well plus when they first come back they can't play a full 90 mins.
9- Goalkeepers can get injured cause usually there's no resaon to have a sub goalkeeper.
10- Gameplay like the Euro 2008 demo
11- Pre season friendlies
12- On the calendar you should be able to choose how many days to go forward instead of it going to the next match.
13- The top clubs should not sell their best players , on Fifa 08 I got Ronaldo and Kaka by free transfer.
14 Make it harder to win cups as you can win all four in one season. Also, in the premiership the top teams don't get enough points to challenge for the title and give some clubs title contender programmed in so Man U come second instead of Man City or Everton.
15- Choose the goalkepper in the arena
16- Being able to modify the kit and when you get a different sponsor it changes on the kit and real life sponsors not fake ones as companies could pay to be companies in Fifa.
16- On the front cover Ronaldo should replace Ronaldinho and Fabregas should be on there . It would be better if there were more than 2 players on the cover , how about the top clubs in each country's best player depending on where it's sold, like in England Gerrard, Fabregas, Ronaldo and Lampard are on tthe cover.
I AGREE WITH SOME OTHER PERSON WHO SAID TO ADD THE ABILITY TO CHANGE CLEATS WHILE IN MANAGER MODE.
ADD REFS!!! AND MAKE THEM VULNERABLE TO THE PLAYERS' TACKLES (IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG YA KNOW LOL)
THE CROWD NOISE LEVEL IS STILL IN NEED OF SOME TWEEKING. IF YOU SCORE AN AWAY GOAL IN FIFA 08 THE CROWD DOESNT REALLY REACT AS WELL AS IT SHOULD, IN FACT EVEN THE RESPONSE DOESNT LAST LONG CUZ THEN THE HOME SUPPORTERS GET LOUD AGAIN AS IF THEIR TEAM IS ACTUALLY WINNING. IF THE AWAY TEAM SCORES A SECOND GOAL THEN UNLESS THE HOME TEAM BEGINS TO SCORE THE HOME CROWD SHOULD PRACTICALLY NOT BE HEARD MUCH, ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF PERHAPS THE VISITOR CROWD
AND WHY IS IT THAT WHEN U WIN A CUP (LETS USE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR EXAMPLE), IT DOESNT SHOW YOUR TEAM CELEBRATING BY LIFTING THE TROPHY AND HAVING FIREWORKS AND ALL THAT?
WHICH REMINDS ME, IF U CARE ABOUT DETAIL U SHUD EASILY IDENTIFY THAT IN SEASON MODE, U PLAY UEFA CUP TIES OR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TIES, AND SO MANY IF NOT ALMOST ALL OF THE GAMES ARE PLAYED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT....LIKE...WHO EVER THOUGHT OF THAT ONE???? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME U SAW A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME PLAYED DURING THE DAY, THESE ARE ALWAYS EVENING GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are many other apects that FIFA 09 could imply, you should be able to trick the keeper when taking a penatly, be a pro mode should allow you to play eleven a side games online including your goal keeper, a more fluent way of using tricks and flicks and final if a new player comes onto the seen or a change in ownership or manage ment in a club should be a update that comes threw monthly this will be a commentry update as it is a stupid thing listing to Andy Grey & martin tyler talk about a manager who was saked five months ago. Keeper Kits should be used for all teams not just the larger clubs who stay manily within the top flight, i mean seeing Craig Gordon wearing a plain light blue kit is a bit stupid concidering walking out of the tunnel along side edwin van der sar wearing Man Utd keeper kit.
AND I ALSO WOULD LIEK TO SEE SPANISH COMMENTARY AGAIN. SO MUCH OF THE WORLD SPEAKS SPANISH, IT WOULD APPEAL TO A LOT OF FOLKS. INCLUDING MYSELF
2 TEAMS THAT ARE TRULY MISSING FROM FIFA 08 ARE CHILE & JAPAN. THESE COUNTRIES SHOULD BE IN THE GAME FOR SURE.

AND WHATS WITH THE CONSTANT ERRORS IN JERSEYS??? SOMETIMES THE FONT THAT THE REAL JERSEYS HAVE IN THE WAY THEY WRITE THE NAMES ON THEW BACK AND THE NUMBERS ARE REPLACED BY SIMPLE BOLD TYPE LETTERING & NUMBERING. MAKES JERSEYS LOOK A LIL CHEAP AND NOT SO DEFINED.

ANOTHER THING SHOULD BE THE WAY THE TEAMS ARE GIVEN THEIR RANKING. I REALLY DONT SEE WHY DENMARK WAS A 4 AND A HALF STAR TEAM IN FIFA 08. GIVE EM 3 RIGHT NOW & THATS PLENTY. ESPECIALLY IF U COMPARE THAT WITH THE 4 STARS GIVEN TO MEXICO WHO LETS FACE IT, ARE MUCH BETTER THAN TEAMS LIKE DENMARK. PUT CANADA AS AN INERNATIONAL TEAMS SO I CAN BEAT THEM CONSTANTLY WITH THE U.S. LOL.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, CHILE AND JAPAN SHOULD NOT BE NEGLECTED ANYMORE. THERE BETTER BE LOTS OF CLEATS AVAILABLE. ALL THE NIKE ONES THAT HAVE COME OUT THIS YEAR ARE AWESOME. THOSE NEW PUMA ONES BETTER BE ON ETO'S FEET OR ELSE LOL
i think the setting where you could control the run of one of the other players should be brought back in, so running off the ball can be controlled.

I think that all top league teams should have there stadium's, avalible to buy from the fan shop. This would make fans happier, than previous editions of FIFA where you would be given a stadium, that does not corsponded with the team you are playing with.

Also online updates should included changes in kits and stadium's.
Fifa 08/07 for me is pretty flawless, but it could improve. Prize money (such as in real life) needs to be introduced. Other wise how can an Championship team compete in the premiership with players in the skill range of 60? they cannot afford the wages or the transfer cost. (but this did improve over years.) Also, players being loaned out by higher leagued teams needs to be increased, as in real life. Another aspect I've bean dying to see some kind of stadium creater/editor so I can play in my home stadium. Finally, a little extra which would just give that fantastic feel to the game, would be a referee and linesmen on the field during the match. Little things make a HUGE difference with gamers and if any of these changes came in, it would be great. As a massive fan of the Fifa series, I really look forward 09.
Change Comentarist mexican, referee, put managers of the teams.
WHY HAVE YOU MADE IT AND SO YOU HAVE TO START OFF SEASON MODE ON A RUBBISH TEAM BECAUSE I WANTED SOME OF THE PETERBOROUGH UNITED PLAYERS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG TO PLAY FOR A PREMIERSHIP TEAM BUT WHEN YOU CAN FINALLY PLAY WITH A PREMIERSHIP TEAM THE PLAYERS YOU WANTED ARE REALLY OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
you should be able to dive
customize defending froma corner e.g put players on the posts and zonally mark
better finishes
goal keeping errors
leg braking challenges
more time in pre season transfer market
bring keeper up for corners
better chants from croud
better free kicks
2 footed tackles
better heading technique
gerrad and ronaldo on the cover
Crowds should be louder for derby games or big games for the HOME side but if the away team starts to win have the crowd slowly start to get quieter. The crowd can be the 12th man on the pitch so you shouldn't overlook the feeling one would get at the great stadiums in the world.
Ha, sorry about the double post. But I think character creation shouldn't be so restricted in the next gen versions. It's a drag to have the character you created only be a 60. The way character creation was in the last gen games was so much fun and being able to make a well rounded character in the 80's was ideal so that you can actually play your created player if you wanted to use him on teams like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barca, etc etc.
In my opinion the arena mode is great but there should also be a way to get more than one player in it so you can practice passing and even defense. Also be a pro mode should be able to have two or more players in it off line as well as online. Game play should also be a little faster paced a little closer to how fifa 07 for the xbox was.
change kit patches when promoted to premir leage from other leages
you should have all the teams grounds and make your own ground
you should make it so you can see them lift the trophy
can you put the blue square premier on fifa 09 plus cambridge united united
you should show the south african players as they are in real life. and we should see a team's manager during the sub.
