i dont have a ps3 or xbox360 i only have a ps2 with fifa 08 but im getting a ps3 and fifa should be so great on it cause its great on ps2. heres some improvements that would make fifa 09 great
Manager mode
1. in transfers if a player is on there last year in there contract let them decide if they want to accept an offer or not. and if they do u can make a counter offer to try to keep them at your club.
2. be able to custimize formations during manager mode.
in manager mode in the a-league the youth acadamies dont have australian players in them and scouting for australians take a long time because u scout the whole of asia and after about 6-7 years into manager mode half the league is albanian or austrian so heres some improvements needed.
3.youth teams
3.more detaled scout search
4.fix some of the bugs like the one where the commentator comments on a great save even when the keeper didnt save it the ball just missed.
5.real sponsors and when u get the sponsors it goes on the front of your team strip.
6.world cup qualifiers during manager mode and you can choose to let your players play for there country or not.
7.more injuries, i nearly always have a healthy team.
8.less fatigue, these are poroffesional teams and leagues they shouldnt get as tired as they do.
9.In the a-league have the pre-season cup so the a-league can have some cup football even if is only preseason.
10.better crowds, most of the cowds wear the team colours, more cheering when there team is goin on the attack, more booing the ref when a decision goes agaiinst them.
11.when you win a trophie show the team on the podium with the trophie jumpin up and down with confetti goin every were.
12. in manager mode be able to have partnerships woth other clubs around the world.

and im sure that tones of people would have already told you to improve the gameplay that i dont think is even that bad on ps2 so one ps3 it should be awsome thanks.

If you really want to improve fifa you should get representatives from each country with a variety of ages to meet up and help design fifa09, so its created by fans/gamers for fans/gamers. We are the people who play fifa so we know what needs changing and how to design it to meet are needs. Im sure this would encourage more people to play fifa and would be a good system year after year.

Anyone agree?
1. More leagues like Argentina, Romania, South Africa, Russia and Japan.
2. More real stadiums and better generic stadiums.
3. Add more national teams like Canada, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo etc.
4. Make your Rugby series as good as FIFA : )
Thank you.
Tracey Harris
players and refs making mistakes. Goalkeepers miss kick the ball missing and going in the goal. players slipping up, passing to wrong team. refs giving players cards when they dont deserve it saying it offside when it isnt and saying there onside when there not this would make the game so realistic it would amazing. Fifa is the best.
i thinkthat you shouldbe able to extend stadiums which ever way you want for example you shold be able to put in a right angled corner into aonpenspaured ground like watfords.
benjamin albrechtsen
when a players boots can't be used anymore you should decide yhe new boots.
and the tape on the ancle has to be tight and not lightning.

thanks benjai
For FIFA 09 you should have:
1. buy shoes for players.

4. Better weather like snow.
5. Superstar mode.
6. More interaction with the press, board, and players.

Give the player control on the ball i tis way to easy for the defender to take the ball. The person with the ball should have the advantage, make the player's movement easier to controll more fuid please i hate pes!!!!
on fifa 08 the goalys are to good please make the goalys abit worser they are to advanced
1.more stadiums
2. design your own stadium
3.your own music like psp
hey!!!(this is for the ps3)
1. You don't always have to be the manager. You could be the assistant, U18s coach, scout etc.
2. When signing for a club in fifa 09, you should get wages like in football manager(PC) except be able to spend some of your money eg. buy a club like the Glazers did or like Thaksin Shinawtra did.
3. Shots honestly still aren't good enough. If you are in the exact same position with the same player etc. then the outcome will be the same - why can't there be different outcomes?
4. Design your own stadium.
5. More interaction with the board eg. request more transfer funds or something like that the same as football manager.
6. Manage a national team.
7. Yellow and red cards should be given out more.
8. Fouls should be harder to give away.
9. African leagues?
10. More stadiums.
11. When playing away don't play in your own stadium.
12. Referee and linesman are visible. Ball can also hit the referee but very rarely.
13. This is an odd idea but listen. Maybe the left analog stick controls your left foot and the right analog stick controls your right foot so you can create tricks or cheeky ways of scoring a tap-in etc.
14. You should be able to feel a large players presence more.
15. Made up players have real faces when you view their profile.
16. Manage ALL finances eg. loans, debt, all sponsorships like man utd have audi(or did anyway i'm not sure).
17. More crowd detail.
18. Scout reports like in football manager( potential ability compared to other players).
19. Create a player.
20. Be a pro career(with your own player or an existing player).
21. Control goalkeeper on be a pro.
22. 11 vs 11 with online be a pro.
23. More interaction with press like complaining about a referee's performance or praising a player.
24. At the beginning of each season you could recommend an idea to the FA like the '39th game'.
25. During the transfer window you could continue day-by-day but out of the transfer window match-by-match.
26. Interaction with other managers.
27. This is a pointless one but it would be a nice addition. You could bet a player on something eg. goals(like fergie and ronaldo last season) and it COULD improve their performance slightly or greatly improve their finishing or something like that.
28. The club you are managing could be taken over affecting morale but giving you a much larger transfer budget.
29. For players like c.ronaldo and ronaldinho you should be able to notice thier flair compared to others.
30. Awards like manager of the month and goal of the month. For goal of the month if it is a player on another team you should be able to see it.
31. When playing the computer if the other team have a skillful player like ronaldo he should do tricks and flicks etc.
32. I would like to view other leagues.
33. Defences a little easier to break down.
34. You should be able to view and scout youth teams.
35. Just like to say please don't make the graphics like fifa street 3. Maybe somehow improve the graphics?
36. Easier to go round the keeper.
37. Midfielders get slightly further forward and sometimes score loads( like lampard or ronaldo).
38. Can state interest in managing another club but can't just takeover in a second.
39. Can resign or join another club duing the season.
40. More player celebrations.
41. More transfers between other clubs.
42. Improved player physics.
43. To be honest it doesn't seem like each player makes 1000 desicions a second...
44. Players make better more realistic runs.
Sorry there are so many suggestions but if you were to include some of these you really would kill off PES permanantly judging by their poor game and lack of effort this year. I might come back later with more suggestions so bye for now:)
carlos cuadros
I think that fifa should have the refferee shown while playing a match also more stadiums for each team and to be able to see the manager whenever a goal is scored. one last thing when the ball goes out of bounce to get a close up to the player it doesnt really make sense to have great graphics and not show it more often. thank you for listening.
I have noticed a major flaw.
When a player gets substituted and we see the replay when the original player was actually there on the ground....the substitute appears in his place in the replay when actually he was not on the ground then.Try to remove it.
realistic youth squad in a team(i.e. youth players that are already in the football club) , which can promote into 1st team.
Ross Eastwood
Have superstar mode on fifa and park head stadium also have create a club mode.
you should put more teams on the game not the same ones on fifa 07 put more stadiums in it you need more referees please and put world cup in it too
I think you have more advanced creation mode and you could add a lot more skill moves with the trick stick and on the classic team you should include some of the latest playes including berdkamp zidane and loads more
i would like to see goodison park, home of everton on fifa for once
i no you cant put all the stadiums on there but why do most teams play at the same stadium build more stadia to share so you have more made up stadiums or let us create our stadiums ourselves.
more cameras and bring back BROADCAST CAMERA cause its the best for aiming at goals and visibility of players over the ground. (custom so u can zoom in and out or mabe even create you own camera angle and its properties....
also ability to download teams, stadiums, balls, equipment, players of you choice if not included in the retail package. NB! better ball control on shots, more variety in celebrations (or even being able to have direct control of your celebration so u can choose what to do eg pressing 'X' twice to to perform a fist pump or X then 0 to do diving on grass celebration...
goal of the month
camera eye players view through there eye
match of th day hilights
internationol tournement and world cup
Be able to have a certain degree of control of curve on shots and passed, especially shots along the ground should curve as well if spin is applied. More powerful average shots if the player has time to power up the shot meter (having space etc). Gotta have more realistic crowds....!!!!!!
Why is it that the american games like basketball and gridiron have more detail and realism like the crowds etc, its like EA put all their effort into american games....????? continued: handball, ability to edit current team players like celebrations etc, more realistic goal keepers that can make mistakes and arnt super human like the ones in previous games which can go hand in hand with being able to take a shot more difficult except when in space which should be easier to get accurany and power if u know what i mean.
the 2 things that annoy me most are firstly the stadium that teams like spurs and eveton and aston villa play in it looks nothing like a stadium in the premier league infact im sure there is no stadium in the uk that looks like that please make more of an effort and give all premier league teams there actual stadium and the 2nd thing is cup finals why arent they played at wembly and why does it have the same build up and ending as a normal match the only different thing is at the end f you win the players have their photo done its so boring it actually makes me angry how lazy you have been in some areas of the game and i agree with the comment beow me stadiums shold be able to be customised and even a stadium editor should be put in just like player editor or create player you should be able to create a stadium and assign it to a team of your choise and then in a season edit your stadium PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put these things into the game it would be amazing if you did it please
i would be happy to see 1 Team from every country that doesnt have their own league in FIFA 09
Example: Tampere United from finland

I want also play in Argentinas League and nice to see like 70th century best player team and another centuries 2
make pitches more muddy in winter
make players get more muddy during games
be able to put defenders in goal e.g terry
be able to sign people during september to december but not being able to play till the window
make crating players more quick
make be a pro better e.g start at liottle club then work way up leagues
One more thing i have forgot to mention would be:

- Have like in manager mode you should just be able to cruise around your stadium and see whats happening behind the scenes, or at the training ground you could have your office and the players come see you, or you could watch them in the weight room or on the pitch and make your desicion on who is training well so you play them, have them have there good stages of the season and therelows so you find out whose low it is you bench them and work on it with them at training then watch them improve. for example of this feature is Smackdown gamea couple of years ago on the ps2 you could roam the stadium before your match and you could come across other restlers goto someones office, the lockyer room etc... please consider this i would love this!
Ok i would like to see the following features in FIFA 09, and i beileve If FIFA added these featured im about to list, it would become the biggest selling sport game of the year, and easily beat PES.

1) Referee's on pitch - It's crucial you cannot not have the referee, it just gives you a fake impression.

2) In Manager Mode you should be able to do the following things:
- You should be able to goto training with the actually team set out the drills and
go through them, but of coarse if you didn't want to there is that skip option, but your team will gain more skill points or what ever you call them.
- You should be able to make the substitues go through there warm ups, have that bench option, you should be able to be the manager in the game so control the players from the bench, just for that extra option, that wont let the game get boring.
- Deffinately more stadium's, this year in the EPL Manager Mode, about 12-14 of the away games you would play would be at the Estadio Des Artes, or whatever it's called it gets so BORING!
- You should be able to control everything about the club you are managering, from the stadium, extending its capacity to the training ground facilities, or the team plain, etc.
- You need to put the Official Uefa Champions League, into Manager Mode instead of the ECC or whatever it is. It would be awesome.
- After a match in Manager Mode your manager actually attends a press conference and has to answer to a number of random questions that throw at him and his answers will impact his fans and board etc.
- Linkink to the point above, after you sign a player you should have a press conference, and have him sign a contract and recieving his jersey.

These are just some improvements for Manager Mode that could be made.

3) Say if your playing an English Premier League match, you could have the EPL Theme song as they walk out and some commentators, and for a different league Eg, A League, you could have there theme and Simon Hill, and Robbie Slater commentating, and Martin Tyler and Andy Gray for the EPL etc

4) You should/have to put a type of Madden Superstar game mode into Fifa. Where you create your own character who goes through his own career, goes from the apartment to mansion and goes from rookie to superstar.

5) Insert the managers into the game Eg, Alex Ferguson, if this is a bit difficuly just show them walk to the bench at the start of the game or something with the club mascot or something.

6) Goalkeeper Control, you should be able to control his positioning and dives on free-kicks and 1 on 1's.

7) More Stadiums

8) Realistic injuries, show the injury in depth.

9) Don't get me rong! I cannot stand a diver! But maybe put a dive feature in and if they choose to dive it has to look mighty convincing otherwise he gets booked.

10) Have a choice to argue the referee's call, just for that realistic impression.

11) Should be able to do sneaky dirty things behind the ref's back eg, shirt pulling, kick the ball in the stands after a call against you etc.

12) Maybe create your own club, and design all about them the stadium, the kit, the manager and the board or whatever.

13) The Fifa World Cup Tournament, stop trying to make money by making Fifa .. and then making two different games the Champions league and world cup, it just pisses everyone off cause you people at EA, are just trying to make money.

14) A game mode where you can be manager of an internation team.

15) Another is weather, you could introduce terrible typical Manchester days, snow or just rain, so for example on a rainy muddy day the pitch gets in a worse state the ball bobbles up and down, makes it harder on the players, it shows the players with mud on them after they fall.

16) Show the bench, and the players doing there warm ups.

17) Possibly you could have at half time, you controling the subs just having a kick on the field, or u could have it like transparent to the half time facts thing that usually comes up.

18) Crowd detail, from there movements, songs, and graphics. Also you should have the die hards so for example put the Stretford End into Old Trafford, and thats where all the songs come from, you could put the Kop in Anfield etc.

These are all just suggestions, i obviosly couldnt expect you to put all of these in the game, but if you put most of them it would make an ultimate fifa that im sure everyone would love. Im sure everyone agrees?
I think there should be more African teams. I think we should also be able to see the manager when a goal has been scored or at the end of the game. a more relistic manager mode main menu. I think the dutch player names should be in English then you can see who you are picking in the team. Also a pick of commentator's to.
Making your own team and staduim would be cool. Also having womens and futsal would be great. Also maybe able to go online and update player injuries and ratings.
i think in the next fifa there should be a season where you create your own player and have to start off with a lowe league club you then progress going on to play for the best teams in the world. You have to make your way to matches and training and if your late you get banned for 1 match or fined
I think EA should have a section for a world cup tournament like the NBA Live 08 has the FIBA world cup

I agree on all of Ashleys top 10 ideas on the 15th of March
Also put different stadiums in there are to many stadiums that are the same
Just another thing, in a cup final you should show more of the winning team celebrating like having the stand in the middle of the pitch and the players jumping up and down with the trophy.
Also as a manager the more points you get to becoming one of the best managers you should be able to get so many points to become an internatinal manager. Also if you were the club manager at old trafford you should be able to extend the stadium how you want it, e.g add more seats of even add a new stand and create it how you want it. One more thing at the start of a match you dont have the prem league tune on as the players are walking out of the tunnel all these thing will make the game more realistic.
In fifa 09 you should look at the crowd detail, at the moment the crowds are boring, if you look at them on a replay they are just doing the same thing which is waving there arms in the air and the always that dull gray colour most of the time. put some of the crowd with there teams shirts on and the odd one with banners and flags, also let us see some of the fans entering and leaving the stadium. Fifa 09 should also show the referee on the pitch while the game is being played. The commentaters should be different or at least have a lot more things to say because after you have been on it for quite a while like me it gets unrealistic every time you here them say the same thing. Also as your the manager you should be able to control the manager walking out on to the pitch at the start of a match an then the commentaters can talk about the manager and what great things he is giving the club.
