Your Ideas for FIFA 09

i think EA should include a five a side mode in fifa 08

MORE SOUTH AMERICAN TEAMS AND CLUBS AND TOURNAMENTS!

For PSP!
they should have when your in manager ode they should give you the international jobs and show the people who you create in team management

for the new fifa 09 they should use the "BE A PRO" mode and expand on it. for example you should be able to select one player and go through seasons upon seasons as just playing as that selected player, but u should only be responsible for yourself and nothing else like formations, finance and new signings. You should be able to progress and if u put good performances in each match it should open doors to u and other clubs want to purchase you for the next transfer window or whatever. Basically u start from the bottom and work your way to the top. Personally i would find this fun and more real. Last but not least i would like it if they improved the be a pro camera view cause it can be hard to focus when the camera constantly moves and drags across the pitch.

i think when u have a derby like arsenal tottenham there should be fans that throw flares on the pitch and cause trouble for example objects being thrown

Santiago Bernabeu must be in the game. There should be more players in the squad to the world eleven. Also to the classic eleven. And The shirts to these teams must look like real footballshirts, so they should be made by Adidas or Nike or Puma, well you get the point. New classic players Platini, Zidane, Maradona (he must be inte game because that would be so much fun), Pelé (him too), Gunnar Nordahl, Gunnar Gren, Nils Liedholm, Van Basten, Cruyff, Bernd Schuster (just for fun), Alfredo Di Stefano (him Maradon and Pelé, very important)
The grass is not good at all. It has to look more green and when you see the grass from short distance then it has to look totally natural and even.

i think on the new fifa when you create a player there should be a scan option for us xbox 360 gamers with live vision that is all. also i think the fans should be wearing their teams football strip and they need to jump up n downn when you score. and stand up when your near goal. thats all but fifa 08 is cracking

Have the correct goalie strips for every team and sponsors

hello, I am a huge Real Madrid fan and I can´t belive that the Santiago Bernabeu wasn´t in the game. And i would like Ibrahimovic and Ramos on the FIFA 09 cover.

i have got everey fifa game and am still waiting for non leAGUE Teams liike lewes fc i will be so so so happy so please makemy dream come true by managing lewes on fifa 09

non league english teams as it would be great to see your non league team win the prem

- I think that you should be able to create a new stadium if the team you pick in a manager mode stadium sucks.
- Also let us do a season or manger mode on Be A Pro.
- When a big transfer happens, make be in newspaers and have interviews with the players.

Ok everyone knows fifa 98 is the greatest game ever released on playstation. i would like fifa 09 to be more like fifa 98.

And i would better celebrations like the robbie keane one.

I have been playing FIIFA for 10 years now and think that it is time to improve the goalkeeping movement and make goalkeepers more controlable. I allso think that the goalkeepers should play like their abbility rating suggests they should e.g. Buffon(Italy) has an ability rating of 90 but is not much better than Ricardo(Portugal) who only has an ability rating of 77.
In conclusion, i think that in order to fulfill the FIFA experience Goalkeepers should be controlable like the goalkeepers on EAs NHL have been for the past few years.

XBOX 360 Wireless Controller Support !!
copy what Konami does with pro evolution and make a separate program to assign controls. If the controller issue isn't fixed in 09, I'll never buy an EA product again. this is easy stuff.

when creating and editiing players you should be able to choose from all the boots, dont make them have to be unlocked through those game mode situations and, manager modes etc

- Let players move towards ball when its coming to them.
- Registered clans with be a pro leagues, (5 on 5 matches but with table cup etc)
- in manager mode when you upgrade stadium it gets bigger.
- create a team
- as player ages so does his face in career mode

Fifa is a fantastic game, it would be great to see some of my suggestions used.
Iv been buying fifa every year now since fifa 99 (with dennis bergkamp on the front), iv been hooked ever since, and bought most of the champions league or euro or world cup games to.

everything in football should be included in fifa 2009, EA SPORTS 'IF ITS IN THE GAME! ITS IN THE GAME!

-also make injuries more effective, this could be brought about as i said before by professional fouls and aggresive computer A.I in certain games, - ADD THIS !! - stretchers, commentators talking about the injury after the players has left the field, longer lay offs from play ie months not just weeks, slower recovary ie when they do come back from injury they dont get back to full fitness or full overall rating until they have played a few games.

-it would be great to have a reserve team and league, not controlled by you but you could higher an assitant to do that, that would add extra depth.

-games such as carling cup, and champions league games should be played at night, or at least dusk settings,

-there has to be neutral venues for cup finals, other wise its ruins the whole games realisim

-bring in things like on the game fifa world cup 2006, were you got glimpses of the managers on the side lines. On most fifa games you sometimes get a camera shot of an empty bench, why not add players to that and some staff etc.

-transfers, this needs to become more detailed, you should be able to negotiate differently and with greater depth, ie not just offering money before playing a game and then seeing whether your bid was accepted, transfers should be able to be done between games, and also different types of transfer, eg. payment over time or specific loan spells(youth players often go away on loan for 3months), also you should be able to trade, eg i could offer 10million plus bridge to sign samuel eto

-you should be able to select the apperance of your clubs current manager or create your own, meaning.. you could select to have the apperance of avram grant etc, and you could perform interviews and what not after games or before big games as your clubs manager from the angle of press reporters,(not just a paragraph as it is now, and you have to select a reponse, this becomes tedious after a while, as what ever answer your give does not affect the game)

-alot of games these days boast about A.I, it would be good for fifa to follow suit and dramatically increase this side of the game. imagine in a crunch game eg. Man Utd vs Liverpool the computer could play more aggressivly this would really raise the realisim of fifa 09

-the crowd are fairly good at the moment, but it would be good to have extra volume and a clear difference between the two sets of fans, banners, replica kit worn etc

-i would guess it would be hard to do, but commentators really should have more of a
clue, they should be disscussing how your seasons gone,recent form, not just coming out with the same one liners over and over

-bring back the button options such as professional foul, and diving and other dirty tactics such as shirt pulling, i know its not welcome in the real life game, but it is amusing to have in a computer game and the proffessional foul button is fun when messing about with mates in multiplayer modes

-more stadiums, i know you cannot give us every premiership ground, but their are a
few absenties that i would love to see, stade de' france, white hart lane or goodison park or city of manchester stadium(get rid of st james's park, they're not a big club anymore), the bernabau(were was that this in 08?), one of the turkish clubs grounds, a ground from russia, basically just put in some stadiums from the smaller football countries.

-they're used to be a youth academy on fifa, bring that back.

-you should be able to higher back room staff, physio etc.

-there is not any cross over between international and clubs on fifa, make it so in manager/career mode their is also international games at the same time, you could choose to rest players if an international coach asks you to for example, and players should go away for in season tournaments eg the african nations cup, players such as didier drogba would be a loss to your side and it would make career/manager mode that much more realistic and challenging if you players.

-also concerning managerial stuff, you should get job offers and get offered the top jobs or the international jobs, you shouldnt be able to just select which clubs you take over(however you should be able to select who you want to be in your first season,ie you can be a top club, but from their onwards you must take offers)

-if you make the emphasis of fifa 09 on the career mode make it as detailed as possible then i believe it will reguvintate the football game genre, i feel EA splits its football games up to much, what with seperate games for each tournament obviously for money purposes, but why not put all of them (except for the world cup game), into fifa 09 and onwards, and i think people will like that as it gives them the complete football package

you should be able to pick the england squad in manager mode

i think the commentators should change theyre commentating in every single game because when you do the career mode it gets a bit boring and more relistic camera shoots. what annoys me when ure doing career mode you are not aloud to buy of arsenal liverpool or cheelsea players but they are aloud to buy of you which isnt faire. they should let you do champions league for the first season and instead of having 2 wait intill the 2nd season and also what annoys me aswell is that in ure first season you can be a really gd team like man u chelsea etc and 2nd season yo have to be a champpionship club or lower and i would like to see the referee running about on the pitch and not just pop upwhen u or opposition team commit a faul they should also do better cup tournaments like like euro 2008 and world cup 2007 or even world cup 20010 qualifiers what i would love to see is a womens league that would be so cool and a under 21 where you can manage england under 21 and get young talented players to the senior england squad and also would be good to see the manager get up from the stands and start shouting out orders to the players and when a player gets injured it would be a seriose one and bit liek pro evowhere qhere you can see the player getting strecthered off and more real life graphical subsitutes aswell. and this better be on a ps2 version!!!

make rooney look like shrek

i used 2 b a big fan os pro evoloution soccer now ive seen the light with fifa 08 .100% beta than pes but there is still room for improvment use all these ideas given on here i bet u would make alot more money and fifa 09 would b on the map x
x
x

if ronaldiniho goes to chelsea in the summer he should be on the front of the case with a chelsea top on. also the tranfers should be better so they should do medicals and you see them sign a contact for the club

i think u should put all of the new boot what are out now and that put c ronaldo freekick on there the way he duz it ....

Fifa 08 PC was the lousiest lasiest port over attempt i have ever seen. Up the graphics requirements, up the gameplau.

get the ref. and linesman on the pitch and no cut scenes

create a stadium mode

make the hyudai a league better

i would like to see more severe injurys, have the world cup euro champs etc and more realistic fans plus visable refrees,subs linesmen and manager

it should have a season mode were you olny controll one person
and in manger mode u get to make the new year kits for your team

put more international teams from the carribeans

-it would be cool if the non-european rules applied to all the european teams like in real life how only a certain number of non-european players can be in a team for example, if u can only have 5 non-EU players and you try to buy six, you cant buy the sixth one

-with the graphics When a player scores a goal i hate to see how a goalkeeper doesnt jump. he just stretches his hand and doesnt even jump, you should make it jump so it adds more excitement to the game

-in manager mode When you try to buy a player from another team you can only offer money but u should add that we could also do trades example: I want to buy Cristiano Ronaldo so i would offer Alexandre Pato plus 5 million dollars

-in manager mode we should also be able to get players on loan even though theyre not on loan because everytime i try to get a player on loan it always tells me that they are looking to sell him not to buy him

-The injuries should be more realistic like a player gets injured so they show when hes taken off in a stretcher and hes out for the longest and it actually affects the team like in morale

-I dont get it how some youth players in manager mode dont grow to be good, for example the Mexican 2005 U-17 World Cup Winners arent even that good in the game and they dont even grow to be good like Cesar Villaluz, Patricio Araujo and all those players but not just from that tornament but also from 2007 also the U-19, U-21 etc..

-There should be more Leagues on the game, instead of having four English leagues have the Argentinian league, Greek, Ukranian, Mexican 2nd division...etc.

-In manager mode when scouting, we should be able to choose in which country we want to look in not just in the continent...like me i always put the Americas to get a Mexican or US player but always get a Brazilian or Argentinian player.

-another thing is where we get to create our own player and start off in scratch as a youth and as time goes by we get better deals like a raise or a offer from teams like Barcelona, Man U..etc

-The thing that i think is most anoying in Manager mode is that the only teams that try to buy your players are Arsenal and Liverpool which souldnt be like that , it should be more realistic like how Madrid and Barca are trying to get all the good players and how Man U always gets the talented young players

-There sould also be a FIFA World Club Cup tournament, and I know that theres not a champions league from America, Asia Africa in the game but ramdomly selest a team from these continents that are in the game and put them in the tounament

-In manager mode it should also be realistic in the table positions like how when I play in the premier league, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, or Chelsea always finish at the bottom of the table even though they are the best teams in europe and should be finishing in the top teams. And when it comes to scoring in theleaderboard there is never any good player in the top of the scoring chart becaus there are always weak players atop the chart

-In manager mode we should also be able to pick our Team kits at the end of the season because it is kind of dumb how we have to have the same kit for 15 years

-It would be even better in manager mode for when it comes to time for international competition that more that 3 players should be able to go to the game and there should be more than just 2 international games per season and the players miss weeks or even months of playing for the club because they are with the International teamwhen it comes to: EURO 2008, World Cup, and Qualifyers..etc

-It would also be cool that after every international game there would be like a report of who scored because it would be cool to see that your player scored a goal in a free kick or penaltyor or if he commited a foul and the other team got a penalty for it and for when it comes to the world cup, EURO 2008 you get to see which team won it, who scored how many goals and the Overall goes up for the players who were in the tournament winning team or the ones who got far on the tournament like the semis, quarter finals

-In manager mode a player should be able to request a transfer when he doesnt get played that much like it is in Arsenal. and it would be cool if you would get messages from players who are interested in joining your club like Sergio Ramos sends you a message saying that he likes the way you train and would like to be coached by you

-More national teams

-The crowd has to be more realistic and they should scream even louder when you score a goal in stoppage time or you beat your rivals and you should see the manager and players sitting on the bench next to the field. Also there should be banners, they should sing songs, jump, chant a players name

-When we are creating a player we can choose its celebration like a famous player like we can put a created player to dance like Ronaldinho

-We can create our own goal celebration

A player looks older as the manager mode season progresses

-We should be able to create our own stadiums

-In manager mode at the end of the season, there should be a report where it shows the top scorers in every leagus, best goalkeepers and there should also be the trophys like the Golden Boot, World Player of the Year, Ballon d'Or, EU team of the year where it is kind of like in UEFA .com where you get to see the best manager, best LB, best STRIKER etc.. like team of the season and if a player wins these awards he gets a boost in his Overall and price

Here are my thoughts on FIFA 09 (in no order);-

1. Referee and linesmen.
2. World Cup.
3. More interaction with the fans i.e celebrations..even thowing ball back.
4. More bench action...i.e managers in there box, subs warming up...etc
5. More stadiums.
6. Goalkeepers in real kits and gloves.
7. Better celebrations including signiture ones i.e Nani's flip, Cahill's boxing the flag, and Rooneys rather angry punching and kicking...etc
8. When it comes to finals, make sure there in neutral stadiums i.e FA Cup = Wembly.
9. Better fouls, harsher injurys, diving, elbows, handballs and more general play that happens in football.
10. More leagues i.e Greek, Argentine..etc and the possibility of 6 a side or indoor football tournament, it hasnt been done in nearly 11years! FIFA 98!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Involve ROBERTO BAGGIO in some way! thanks!

5. online manager mode: you play in a world league with others in real life, each managing your own team, making transfers, and even playing each other when the opportunity arises.

1. be a pro season mode, where you play as your player through seasons
2. manager mode improvements: more time for transfers, longer space between games,
youth academy, etc.
3. indoor soccer mode (5v5 or something along those lines)
4. gameplay fixes: goalies, change player response, tackle effectiveness (so one player isn't tackled three times on one play, regaining the ball everytime to be 1v1 with the keeper)

Please please can u guys put Mexico's 1a division in FIFA 09 it would be great please please put this league in the game

I love the fifa series and with these ideas included in 09 it would make this game so much better
-Alot more stadiums im sick of playing at the estadio les artes
-(Manager Mode)- include the champions leage
-Create a career mode like in madded the superstar mode. It would be insane to create yourself become a legend and play in the world cup and also do interviews after games.
-Better cut scenes when someone socres,have better celebrations like jumping into the crowd. I'm sick of seeing only the defenders celebrating wiht the person that scores.
-Better fans, i wanna see team banners and the fans reactions when you score.
-in the fan shop, different variations of cleats i dont liek how they only have red lasers.
- the sidelines- show the coaches and players warming up on the sidelines.

FIFA 08 has some gameplay flaws, which I think should not be complicated to improve:
- Let the player who is receiving a pass, be able to move towards the ball before getting it. Sometimes with through passes, the player will even be running with the ball behind him (instead of going for the ball or at least waiting for it), and the defender just cuts in front easily. It's ridiculous and frustrating.
- Through passes (especially overhead through passes) are very ineffective in this version. The ones sent above, are ALWAYS won by a defensive header.
- Put less skill moves, but make them easier to perform as well as more effective to shake off defenders (like in FIFA 06).
- Don't allow injuries to be shaken off after a little while, as is always the case now.
- Let the passing to be quicker. Many times the player takes too long to release the pass, especially when making forward runs.
- The reaction of the player is TOO slow when making turns or changing directions. Most real life players are more explosive than that.
- I meant to mention only my gameplay suggestions, since I think these are the key to a succesful game, but one last comment would be to fin a way to force online players to use a wider variety of teams (find a way to incentivize the use of smalle teams or limit the times certain teams a player can use). All I see is people basically using about 5 or 6 teams (Barcelona, R. Madrid, M. United, Arsenal, Milan and Inter), and that just makes it a bit tedious.
Thanks.

Could you add Serbian league?

maybe you should have a bigger range of commentators for each league that you play in, e.g an american commentator in the MLS if your playing as american teams.
also the number of stadiums is very low. I see you used st.james park but not the bernabau, now thats wrong

Please please please please, put the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ON 09 TOO, WITH THE SAME GRAPHICS
that we have for the game called UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, 06-07

thanks

I think there should be a freestyle football game mode
and also more tricks while doing keep ups

Make the players faces have different expressions because on replays the players faces look fixed. Even when they score!!!

i like all of reading trials boy's ideas. i like them A LOT i think this would bring the game close to perfection

And put Zidane and Maradona in the classic XI, Cheers!

Boruc etc good graphics

All players good graphics like Boruc nd McManus

PS2
make all of the players have good graphics not just people like Kaka and Ronaldiniho

I have been a FIFA fan for years and have all the games, but I was slightly dissapointed with Fifa 08 and here are my ideas for the next fifa that will be so good it will make up for it!

Manager Mode
- Scouting needs to be more realistic, (Since when is Kyle Bridge an argentinean name?), You should be able to scout in whatever country you want and not just continents, More Players should be involved, I believe this would make it more realistic and better because clubs could fight over players like they do in real life eg Barca and Chelsea fighting over Sergio Tejera, When you sign the youth player you offer them a contract and get to choose how much they get per match and how long the contract is etc and wait to see if they accept it, If they dont it should say why not, eg Another club offered higher wages and have aquirred the player! That would be great! :)
- Injuries in training and more during matches, eg Calf strain, Broken Metetarsel etc
- Players should have bust ups with each other in training and ask for transfers and you should be able to patch things up!
- When you want to sign a player it can be so annoying, saying "They want you to stop wasting their time with such a horrible offer, They should say what they want eg higher wages, Or you should be able to hold negotiations with his club and find out their asking price or offer them one of your players in a swap deal, And if you have taken a player on loan then be able to make the move permanent for a fee, like Real Madrid couldve made Reyes move permanent for $5m, You should get an e-mail from the club you are trying to buy a player from telling you how much they want for him and if he will be available or not! - More Leagues, Russian,Ukranian,Argentinean etc
- More realistic movement in the game, Turning is so difficult, You should be able to move very quickly unless you are a very big player eg Materazzi,Viduka
- All International players very detailed, It would be great, and look far better than it does now, on fifa 08 Scott Carson looks like 45 lol
- Have sky sports news in the game, so they show the latest transfers, league table, Injuries after games, suspensions etc

I am HUGE Football Fan and i am a very Decent player with trials from Reading F.C, so i know what im talking about, i have both Football games Pro Evo and Fifa 08 on the Playstation 3 i have them both because they both have good and bad points, but i would really like FIFA 09 to step up and become the most realistc football game around because lets face it, FIFA is Football...
For this i think with FIFA it needs to be abit more fluid like PRO EVO, but wat PRO EVO lacks that FIFA has is the organisational skills, which means u have to be clever to beat people and is more realistic in that way..i think if FIFA 09 is able to have the organisational but improve the speed of the game so it will be the most Realistic football game around...
what i feel FIFA 09 could improve on is:
- Keepers animations like being able to control the keepers rush out and which way u make him slide at the strikers feet etc..
- More than just 1 type of slide tackle, fifa lacks in the slide tackle motions which is ridiculous.
- More Licienced Referees (Howard Webb, Graham Poll etc)
- A (MUCH) Better Huge Edit mode so you are able to Edit current players like Ronaldo and change what colour vapours he will wear etc, and for when you want to create yourself so you can add tape socks like Torres and Ronaldo Wear, Hair bands, sweat bands, ear tape if you have an earing etc.
- Third kits allready available
- ALL the Licenced Boots from the past 3 years in all colours
Adidas like Predators, World Cups and Tunits
Nike Vapor, T90 laser, Tiempos
Umbro
Puma
Lotto
and then just plain black ones u can EDIT.
- And the same amount of Balls like FIFA 08
- Driven Free-kicks along the ground
- More Hairstyles in creation mode and Faces
- More Goal celerbrations
- Visible Ref & Linesman
- Proper Training Mode with players wearing the training Gear.
- 3D fans/supporters with proper Chants and songs
- Career Mode Should have Multiplayer, and you should be able to make Trasfers quite easilly and when they are succsessful, to be able to see the player in a press conference with the manager answering questions, then see the player on the pitch holding up his shirt with his name and number on it.
- Have Sky Sports News on the game showing the league table and Transfer Gossip from the clubs around the world.Premiership,La liga,Serie A,Bundesliga,Ligue 1 etc
by Ian Payne,Georgie Thompson,David Jones,Jim White,Ed Chamberlin.
- More types of Injuries and animations for the Injuries, then on the Sky Sports News have after being spoke about it show e.g. Fernando torres with crutches after breaking his metatarsal.
- Better Style League table with official Licence, like Barclays Premierleague.
Pre-Game footage of the players walking into the stadium with the suits on for big game likes Fa Cup Final, Carling Cup Final.
- More Emotion from the game, feel like there is lots at stake every match, and when a star player cristiano ronaldo gets injured like he is going to be missed.
-Fernando Torres 09 on the Cover
- More Emotion when you score a goal making it feel alot more special and vital with the crowd roaring in big Derby matches.
- Make the players look more realistic and thinner with better facial animations like on PRO EVO, becuase ive found that on FIFA 08 the players like Cristiano Ronaldo look chubby and they have no facial expressions.
- the way the players turn needs to be more fluid like in real life, so that you can turn in and out to do defenders or to draw the tackle, and by making the passing quicker the game will flow better, and for teams like arsenal and Man united can counter attack and catch teams on the break with quick players like Ronaldo and Nani etc.
- Better styles of Set pieces and for corners and free kicks.

i really hope that my ideas are taken under consideration because this game is created for the fans and as i am one with amazing ideas that i have voiced this will make FIFA the best and most Realistic football game around.
