Sidelines - have linesmen running up and down the side, few more things on the sidelines like managers stood shouting, subs sat in the dug outs.. take a leaf from NBA 08, having it feel like your actually at a game adds to the experience.
Throughballs - maybe its just me but they used to be fun, now they seem to mess up more and more, specially lofted trhoughballs.. maybe a few tweaks here and there.
just a few thigns really
we should see the manager of a team when a sub has been made.
Edit Mode:
Edit teams; Badges,kits, sponsors and stadiums.
More enhanced player edit feature, along the same lines of the Tony Hawk Games.
Stadium editing like the neighbourhood editing in 'The Sims' (Change scenery, weather, surroundings.)
On Pitch: Fifa street style trick physics, unpredicted riots.
A Choice of commentators.
And also customised chants. (Choose from a list eg. Change play up Pompey to Play up chelsea if your playing as chelsea.)
PS3:
All the above plus a very creative use of the internet feature.
(Same with XBOX LIVE)
A menu option titled 'Update' that when you click on it asks you to connect to the internet and it could some how change Transfers.
Also, a way of giving your own player a name for the commentators ?
2 - Propose at least all teams qualified for the current European Champion's League
-Be able to crate team.
-Edit the way players look on the game eg: Ronaldo or Rooney....just like pro evo does.
-On manger mode create the way the manager looks and you see him on the touchline giving instructions.
-Have a pre-season tour of a country.
-See the players on the the bench.
-Edit the licensed kits like manutd.
-Change sponsor of the of the licensed teams eg: Nike,AIG
or adidas
-Manager gets interviewd after game.
-And last have the proper goalkeepers kits for all the teams PLEASE!!!!!
If you do all that it will defo be better than pro evo :D
That's all I have for now.
Some things could have been better, and what I'd like to see for the next game is mainly that the atmosphere is greater. I want to feel like I'm on the field, so just like others have pointed out, more emotions from the crowd (got goose skin from hearing YNWA on Anfield just before, so you're on the right track! Be A Pro really is a huge step towards this). I want to be awed when my alter ego walks into Camp Nou or Old Trafford.
Another thing on the subject of details is that I’m bothered by the fact that you can’t see the ref or his linesmen, or the subs on the bench either. It would be cool watching the opposing manager shout at his players, and then tunnelling on of them right before his eyes.
What I'd like to request more is less interruptions to the game. There have been countless times when I have been tackled in a two-on-two situation. And instead of taking a quick free kick, all of the opposing team can reassemble and mark my players. And the same goes for throw-ins, having an option of sometimes taking a quick one would be awesome. And I don't want the screen to go black and then players showing up in the same positions over and over, rather I'd like to see the closest player running to fetch the ball (or being thrown one - another atmosphere thing), and then taking it.
Also, as I’m playing on 360, I have no experience of the Coop Season, and have settled for the Offline Training mode. But for 09, I hope you will be making all the different versions contain basically the same stuff (I for one, got 360 just so I could play FIFA08).
Speaking of Be a Pro, there are a few things that bug, which isn’t without reason, as this is the first version. One of tem is that your team always seems to be on defense. I played as Barca against Sevilla’s B-team, and yet my players kept losing the ball in a way that made them look like youth players. I played as a forward, and had very little defensive responsibility, so it wasn’t my performance that did it. I was playing on Pro difficulty, but as far as I figured, that ought to improve the AI of both teams, no?
On the music front, an idea could be to perhaps let people import their own music, and mix in with the soundtrack available? I know this was possible in FIFA Manager 2004, so perhaps it’s already possible for the PC, but since you can get music into your Xbox, why not into the game? Of course, this has nothing to do with game play, but it’s another thing that might get an edge over opponents. Although this was in my opinion the best soundtrack in a while, I know people who aren’t entirely happy with it.
Something else that would be awesome would be to add more stadiums. I’m tired of Estadio de las Artes, I want to play on Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and City of Manchester Stadium. And where did Santiago Bernabéu go? On another note, one thing I’ve been looking forward too/missing since FIFA 98 is the indoor stadium, that would be an awesome addition!
About stadiums too, there’s another thing I’d like to see as well: weather. More weather options, like rain, and perhaps a bit of sleet/snow? That would be great too, with the ball slowing down on a wet pitch, and you’d have to adapt to it.
Then there’s the subject of the players. And first of all, none but Rooney have the right body! I mean, they’re half as wide as they’re tall, and that’s just not right, just look at Messi. A wider array of body types wouldn’t hurt, I mean no two players are alike. Plus, the more technically skilled should have a better first touch. I mean, Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t have to stop the ball, and turn, and then get the ball ahead of him, and after that start moving, only to loose the ball to a League One defender. Better first touch, and for a receiver to actually be able to meet the ball. A few times they do, but most of the time they just freeze, and a defender can get in front of him and steal the ball.
And on the topic of players, one thing that bothers me is how an opponent gets into a good position for ashot, and a defender throws himself in the way (with a sliding challenge), and the shot misses. And then, the shooter moves towards the defender and trips on him, and gains a penalty/freekick from falling over. Just ridiculous, although I’d say this reflects the Premier League well. Still it’s annoying, but trying to remove this, and add a command for filming, perhaps to get a second yellow card on a player or something along those lines. (Now that I think about it, you’ll have to add a few buttons on the 09 game, haha). Although it is really against the rules of the sport, though, so maybe not.
And just a small note, it feels weird playing the 2014/15 season in manager mode, having replaced most of your own team and Man Utd still playing van der Sar and the rest. The other managers in the game barely do anything at all, which is sad. More transfers next season!
Still though, FIFA 08 is a great game, which I’ll be playing until 09 comes out this fall. I’ve read that Euro 2008 will contain some of the above mentioned idea, which is great (dynamic celebrations, couldn’t get better!).
Two: make players from the a-leagues faces more life like. They look nothing like the real people in 08!
After the game the comentaters should tell you the attendence for the game.
On fifa 09 there should be a world cup mode that each word cup last 2 monthes in real tme e.g you mite need two or three games a day to do this.
allso it think when a player get injurded the the parapadites should come on to see to the player and if the injury is two bad the they should take him off and you see this.
And when you win the fa cup you should be able to go into ufa.
If you are about to go in the fa cup for somthing should beable to pick team or kepper.eg if you pick kepper you will and should not be able to chance this.
and when the fans sing make them sing the right songs for the club, you should be able to hear them over the comentaters.
let the ref and lines men make some wrong disisions and let the be a replay of this to see if it was wrong or not.
You should be able to dive and make the ref pick up on these or not and a situation like the the manger would come out and try and argue.
have proper weather e.g on fifa 08 it mite rain at a start of a game it will still be raining at the end have the weather change thought the game.
And in manager mode in fifa 08 you can sort of change the ticket price but only low medium high have the price and you should be able to have to set the price of a seaon ticket a half season ticket.
sowing of subittustion e.g shaking of the hand and when subition has be called you should show the board e.g 13 in red and 24 in green.
e.g in real life when a team is in the fa cup sometimes you should be choosen to get shown on t.vand you get money for this and you get money for going though the rounds.
have lauges from all over the world e.g brazil, england, place in euroupe e.g france,spain.ex
(Particularly the next gen versions)
Create A Team/Retro Teams - There should be a few retro teams, particularly from the EPL, from the past decade. For example - what about the great, exciting and youthful Leeds United from1999-2002? What about the Treble-winning powerhouse of Machester United from 1999? And of course, you'd have to put in the exciting team that Liverpool had in the early to mid 90's. They should also have their kits from those years.
Okay, this might take a few years to do, but believe me - iv you had this in the game, you would have a lot more people buying it. C'mon! Throw your authentic licensing weight around a little!
Also, I think that A few more countries should get one of their star players on their own cover. Please don't put Ronaldinho & Rooney On together again!
There should be some new players - Kaka, the FIFA Footballer of the Year has to be on there, surely! And England's cover star with him should be someone new - Steven Gerrard.
And Australia should get their own player on the cover as the 2nd player along Kaka - which would have to be Harry Kewell!
A real deal Manager Mode - If you're going to call it that, then make it that. Give the player control over the club's depertments - Senior team, Reserve team, youth Squad. And real players from those youth squads as well.
And finally, some overalls need to change - The past FIFA Footballer of the Year should always be the best player by overall in the game - i.e. Kaka should be about 90-92. In addition, and I am not speaking as an Australian, but as a football fan - the Australian players are underestimaten in real life, and according to their overall:
HARRY KEWELL IS BY FAR AUSTRALIA'S BEST FOOTBALLER EVER, SO WHY IS HE ONLY THE 4th OR 5th BEST IN THE GAME ON BASED ON OVERALL? HE SHOULD BE AROUND THE 82-85 MARK ATE LEAST, & Mark Viduka & Tim Cahill shouldn't be far off. Also, Marck SChwarzer, believe it or not, is one of the best goalkeppers in the EPL. SO he should be about 80 in my opinion, as well as Lucas Neill - c'mon! Didn't you see him play at the 2006 FIFA World CUP?
Anyway, these features will make this game even greater!

It would be more appropriate if they were as fit and fast as the higher teams but with less ball skills
Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, etc.. because there are a lot of Sotuh American Player that play Fifa.
Thanks
change the weather snow rainning
more stadiums for the 360 version
international cups like Santander Libertadoresm, Confederaciones
more and better training grounds
streakers running onto the pitch?
and even in the other euro leages like ukraine and russia league dinamo zagreb on row. get ivory coast tunisia and ghana plus peru and even these 6 teams like
belarus iceland costa rica trinadad serbia canada. plus uefa cup and champs league
and commentator mode
the engine for euro 2008 is promising though.
Think the shooting system needs to be changed a little bit with curl being a major factor.
Need more tricks on the trick stick
Need more manual passing and through balls like on Euro2008*
But generally the game is top and im sure you know what to improve.
