if i was to chose one thing:
- to be able to chose which players you send up for corners. i.e big defenders instead of small left midfielders.
I THINK FIFA IS FIXED
FIFA 08 IS THE MOST FIXED GAME IN BOLLOCKS HISTORY!! ATLEAST PUT A DAMN REF ON THE PITCH FOR SKEENS SAKE!!! U SHOULD ALSO STOP PEOPLE FROM QUITTING RANKED GAMES CAUSE THAT CAN BE STRESSFUL AS JEANS! ITE WUNN!
i hope that E.A will put a 11 a side on be a pro mode because everyone i play with they always pick any and that is not what be a pro is all about
i thought that the challenge mode was really hard and it is very stressful i hope that there will be less challenges on fifa 09
i thought that the number of stadiums on fifa 08 were appauling i think in fifa 09 there should be at least a 100 real stadiums
i think you should be able to score from free kicks by shooting under the wall
i hope that they will put that on fifa 09
Ive got a lot of ideas i would love to see on the next fifa.

Manager Mode.

1) I think you should bring back the newspaper reports from FIFA 07 and things like asking you about star plyers if your intrested in buying them, Signings of the season, Managers should be able to critisize other managers or teams, Big players wanting to leave there club or big players placed on transfer list or free agents, Information about starlets like Giovanni Dos Santos, Bojan Etc.

2) I think FA Cup, League Cup finals should be played at wembly.

3) You should be able to manage and International Team.

4) You should be able to resign half way through a season.

5) Fall out with the board and get sacked half way through the season like ( jose mourinho ) :(

6) Have real manager names in manager mode e.g if you was chelsea you would have Avram Grant and all the other premiership managers would have real names aswell because making yourself manager is just fake.

7) If you got your scout to go to south america they come back with good players with english names most of the time e.g my scout on FIFA 08 got a player from brazil called peter lewis lol so the scouted players should have real names.

8) If sacked you should be able to join a new team few months later because on FIFA 08 if u get sacked it says game over and you have to start again.

9) Should be able to scout in individual countries not continents like in FIFA 07.

10) Be able to have bust ups with star players then they want to leave but then you can persaude then to stay.

11) End of the season you should be able to see who the top goal scorer in Europe is and the Worlds best player at that certian time.

12) Be able to see top 10 goals of the season at the end of the season.

13) Atmosphere should be much better in derbys, finals or last minute winners, Fans boo if your team performs badly, Fans boo an ex player.

14) Get offers from other clubs at the end of every season or if u do good only big european teams offer you jobs like ( barca, milan, madrid, inter ) etc.

15) More injuries because most teams do have half there first team out ( As we chelsea fans no lol ) And more serious injurys like leg breaks etc.

16) Real sponsors, Start off with much more money, Bring back visual sim.

17) International tornaments half way through manager mode like african nations and your african players leave and world cup, european championships, copa america in the summer and your players could get injured.

18) Real Fixtures.

19) Managers should be visible on the touchline during the match and cutscreens after a goal or bad decision.

20) Increase your stadium.



And now here are just a few ideas which should be in the overall game.

1) Refs should make bad decisions e.g an offside goal will count because they usually make bad decisions.

2) 3d crowds.

3) If a GK saves a penalty his team mates should run to him and hug him and go mad.

4) More celibrations.

5) Every premiership stadium.

6) Here are a few stadiums which should be on the next FIFA which wasn't on FIFA 08.

- The Santiago Bernabéu. (Can't believe it weren't in FIFA 08)
- City Of Manchester Stadium.
- White Hart Lane.
- Parkhead.
- Hamden Park.
- Ibrox.
- Amsterdam Arena.
- Estadio do Dragao.
- Luzhniki Stadion.

And a few old stadiums which you could buy from fan shop such as.

- Old Wembley.
- Highbury. Etc.

On the 2 players i would put on the front cover would be

Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kaka.

EA I think you done a great job on FIFA 08 and i hope you put my ideas in the next FIFA Series because i think it would be the most realistic sports game ever.

Keep up th good work!!!!!
C.ronaldo Esht lojtari me i mir ne bot e dua shum
For me there are a couple of improvements that need to be made:
1. In manager mode:
a) allow transfer negotiations. Let us actual negotiate with the opposing teams let them tell us what they want. ie. swapping players etc. Also we should be able to see other clubs offers for players to have a chance to better them like in real life.
b) If you become exceptionally good at manager you should be offered other club jobs, also international managing should be added in to make it even more exciting.

I also want to say i think you're gameplay and graphics dominates Pro Evo in every way!!!
why isn't there a greek league? Because i see a greek team in the last 16 of the champions league and all 5 qualified for the uefa cup group stage and two went on further. You have the polish lge but i don't see one successful team this year. PLZZZ i've been waiting for years for there to be a greek league
How about your own customizable celebration dance? Or unique dances only for the player who performs it, for example, Peter Crouch's Robot? It would be a great idea to expand the club and international teams as this certainly will increase the popularity of the game worldwide. I suggest having all the world's international teams like FIFA 2002, or at least the top 50 - 100.
Thank you
1. Enhanced graphics and overall gameplay
2. Accurate player ratings
3. A in-game referee (a "referee ball" could make us laugh sometimes)
4. Detailed Stadiums and more varity of weather conditions
5. New features to manager mode - more ways to get money, deeper training impacts, etc.
6. Updated players / more teams (especially internationals)
7. Realistic crowds
8. Injuries that would really impact the team (manager mode)
9. Fights (?) ... like fights during a match but not so much.

By the way, these suggestions are mainly focused to PSP versions of FIFA franchises. Still, I think some of these could be in one of the console versions as well.
the argentina league and better faces
ever since fifa 2000 i have wanted egypt i have waited 8 yrs plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The only problem with the FIFA 08 360/PS3 is the positioning of players, and the level of glitches when one switches to Professional difficulty or higher. With positioning, the players sometimes slack badly, thier true to life counterparts stay in thier position flowing. They should focus on the players constant movement around the pitch. With the defenders at times seem to drift down into the box in a glitch like manner that is far unrealistic, defenders in the top leagues keep to thier mark. With through balls and give n' goes is pretty much perfect but sometimes the game will have the opposing defender pick, glitching the flow of a pass. Granted for more xperienced gamers, Professional displays this more, maybe they figured "we'll glitch it to make it more difficult." Other than that it's perfect. The only thing detail wise I would liked too see changed is Sponsors. The didgital boards and logos on stadiums should be licensed to add realism. Thanks, looking forward to FIFA 09
look look to be honest u guys havent been fair how much times does egypt have to win an african cup to bee in that game wat do we need to doo i have been dieing to see egypt in 08 use put new zealand do they even play soccer egypt is ranked 29 in the world u put cammeroon and we beat them u put nigeria and wee beat them and least put the club al ahly in rest of wold or somthing because i realy want them to be in the game plz plz plz
Create a team would be exelent but u can create ur own league and take it in manger mode and own cups and stuff it would be cool
i would recommend having more african and asian teams such as ivory coast and ghana as ghana are currently 14th in the world and egypt also as they have proved to be bitter oppostion also it would be brilliant if you could have a chance for the managers in manager mode to coach a national team or just have a mode for that alone plz take my wishes into even minimal consideration if anything

alvin
how about in the be a pro mode you do a career where you grow up as yourself and try to make it as a pro!!! that would be aweosme.
make it so it rains and players slip
improve manager mode
more nike boots
stadiums of every country featured in international mode instead of just div one euro etc
make the fans a bit more unique. i look at the game and i see them all exactly the same and they look like they are praying to the ref or something
PUT A REF ON THE FIELD
make it so u can unlock like head butts and stuff or get in fights on the pitch
STREAKERS
PUT MARADONA ON THE CLASSIC 11
be able to edit the arena like chose from diff stadiums or like a street court, futsal court, dirt field
in the rest of world bit put in the teams around the world that won their countries championship (eg. LDU of ecuador)
players should be able to suffer in matches because of real life probelmes like depression
Zidane on classic 11
player should be able to have fallouts with other players, coaches or managers in manager mode
fire works, toliet papers thrown on field in south american matches
well please look thanks
chao
omg has no1 thought about making the injuries beta? bad injurie = strecher small injurie = go off 4 afew minutes.
o nd a ref 2 actually make u feel like ur playin a propper match. maybe even screen shots of the manager as the team do well/ not well.

PLZ TAKE IT IN2 ACCOUNT THAT EACH GAME THAT COMES OUT SHOULD HAVE DIFFERENCES!!!

if u make all the changes above then u will 100% male ur stock go off the shelves in minutes nd appeal to a wider range of ppl!!!
1. Make the goalkeepers more realistic and not so "computercontrolled" for example if it rains make the goalie slip sometimes and he maybe can't controll the shots as good as he do in good weather condition.

2. even more realistic gameplay, for example more deflection on shots, easier to trick other players if you controll a player with great technique.

3. if it rain the player should look wet and it should affect their performance more.

4. a late winner goal should make the public go crazy.

5. make the players more individual, at least the big stars.

6. the difference between a descent team and a great team should be bigger, for example if the teams overall skill is 70 and the other teams overall skill is 88 it should shown more on the filed..

6,5. the home side should have a bit of advantage in game.. easier to keep the ball, a bit more offensive movement if the teams are equal

7. derby games should be thougher

8. make skills be individual and more useful in game..

sorry if my english is bad, I'm from Sweden ;)
Christer..
The Only thing I want to be fixed is the defending on next gen. I mean really in Fifa 08 for ps3( which I have) All you do for defending is either run straight into the ball carrier or slide tackle and sometimes gain a pass from a mistake the players made. If the defending would be fixed up maybe Gameinformer would actually rate you a higher instead of 7.5 or lower.

Also the Responsiveness of the players. I know you guys at EA wanted to make it feel as an anticipation and it does work. But not all the time. Say theres two defenders and one attacker you want to juke them and then shoot. Once you get past the first one you shoot and it seems like forever to shoot. If you just make the time between you press shot and between it shoots it would be great.

Last the goalkeepers are crap. They dive SO late. The balls already has hit the back pf the net and then the goalkeeper dives. And they seem invincible from the top of thier body but when you shoot below them they can't get it and they DIVE LATE.

This what I want to be fixed in 09

P.S More trick move variations please!!
I think Egypt should be with the international teams.
Next-gen PC version! PCs are at least as powerfull as consoles! At least do a Port version! And second, please evolve the Be a Pro feature! I believe it is a great, original idea. You could make it a bit more RPG-style-like with transfers and stuff... A bit like the Goal movies perhaps!
I would like to see a mode similar to Madden's Superstar feature. It would be great to create a player and train him and sign contracts with different teams in the different leagues. Have the player work his way to the top by playing out seasons in the lower levels first, and then hopefully making it into the top level teams. And this could work along with FIFA 08's Be A Pro whereas you only play as your created player
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE THE OPTON OF HAVING TAPE ON THE SOCKS LIKE TORRES AND ROZEHNAL>
and have a stretcher for inured players.
and only real boots
ALL CONSOLES
a note about the looking into the footballers lives through a manager.
that was a grat idea ryan, but to add to that would be to be able to choose any player on your team, and bring up recent files of what has happened to the player. this would be good to determin how good the player plays. ovbiously, not everyone will agree, so you should have an option in the game, and in manager mode, to turn it on and off whenever you like.
i also completely agree with ivern about training a pacific player if need to. lets say hes young, or his preformance is dropping.
in the new fifa, you should make the players more like real people and not some guys who just run pot onto a pitch and kick a ball.
ALRIGHT LADS!!!!!!!
JAMES HERE, HOPE YOU LIKE THESE IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Men its hard to belive that leagues like the australian and rusian are better than sudafrican leagues. I mean why isnt the argentinian league in this amazing game???
If the Team Paok is in the game why cant independiente or San Lorenzo be in it.

Its a disapointmaent.
be able to dive,
and when you've done a season on manager mode change your club strib
there shud be more stadiums moreleauges better edit mode you but too many items in thefan shop and the callanges are too hard sum of thm so i cnt get half the things in the shop.

but you defo need more stadiums
i would like to see more stadiums in xbox 360 like alvalade,luz ,dragao,in portugal the bernabeu(itwas taken away in fifa o8 360) more choices of staiums in which othr teams play in not the same estsio de las artes,i like the idea of makeing your own stadium. I also like the idea of more avble kits . also in the tournaments you should be able to make money in the manager mode a certain amount for wins,another for ties ,and loses. when you win a trophy it would be nice to have a mini ceramony and have the commitiee present the trophy,the dutch pokal,taca do rey,eucc,uefa etc.make it more realistic.crowd reactions when you socre a goal,scarfs and flAGS/from supporters ,signs,make the debies more realistic emotional etc..
more stadiums and youth thems and first teams
Ooh and one lower division teams, when you upgrade your stadium manager, make the stadium get better as you spend money on it.
Now, i'm probably going to repeat somethings already said by me and others, but I have some good ideas (i hope):

Career Mode:
- Have different types: normal (like the one on FIFA 08 now) and a "challenge" career, where you work your way from rags to riches (eg. Accrington to Liverpool).
- Include a Be A Pro Co-Op and Be a Pro Manager (Normal Career and Be a Pro Co-Op in one)
- Injuries aren't frequent, enough. Sure, it would be pointless spicing the matches up with two footers and punch-ups, but how about getting injured in training?
- Have players leave for bereavements or something similar.
- Have games called off (frozen pitches, etc.)
- Assist leaderboards

* Solo Mode *
- This is an idea i thought of, which is similar to FIFA Street 1 and 2.
- You create your player(s) - such as you and a few mates, and work your way up in mini-Futsal(indoor football i think? Can someone clarify?) against representitive teams.
- Have 4 tiers - it would work like this (take Man United)

Tier 1 - Reserves that not many have heard of (like Frazier Campbell)
Tier 2 - Subs, eg Park, Fletcher, Saha, Brown and Kuscak(?)
Tier 3 - First team regulars - Carrick, Vidic, Van Der Sar etc.
Tier 4 - Superstars, like Rooney and Ronaldo

Replays:
- Allow people to save them and upload them (if they want) when they can be bothered.

Xbox 360 Achievements
- Born Winner :: Win a trophy in your first season in Career mode (10 G)
- [Nationality] Manager :: Win the [national] top league in Career Mode (15 G) Do this in England, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and for (10 G) Scotland, USA and Portugal
- [Nationality] Leader :: Win the [national] top league in Career Mode with the lowest ranked side in the league (20 G)
- [Nationality] Genius :: Win the top league with the lowest ranked team in the country (100G for England, 25 G for the rest).
- Hatrick Hero :: Score a hatrick with a created player (10G)
- Achieve 1 undefeated season (40G)
- Win by ten goals or more in an online Ranked Quick Match (50G)

G = Gamerscore

That's 500G right there =]
MAKE YOUR ONE LEAGUE TO PALY IN MANAGER MODE!!!
make the managers shout things at you when the ball gies for a throw in
make players talk about who would take the free kick so that they will line up (about three players)
make lampard better than steven gerrard
make the world team better and when you are doing well as a manager, you can get asked to coach a international team
how about we have goodison park as one of the gounds and some more premiership grounds and also have to managers on the side lines!
I think u should have a better aray of refeers so they r not all the same
Have all the scottish leagues
have it so u can fight or that the players juts fight themselves
Add in the the Tulloch Caledonian satdium which is Inverness Caledonian Thistles(Caley) ground
All you really have to do is to enlarge the Be A Pro Mode of the game so that you dont have to go online unless you want to. It should be more like Manager Mode
Be a pro.But Be a pro like FPS
ALSO HAVE PRE-SEASON TOURNAMENTS ASWELL AS THE PRE SEASON MATCHES
When in champs league the champs intro music comes on as you go out of tunnel
I THINK THE ONE THING THAT EA NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IS THE REALISM OF THE KIT SECTION!!!
WE HAVE THE OPTION TO CHOOSE THE SPONSORS BUT NEVER CHANGE THE KIT OR WHO SUPPLIES THE BRAND? YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE COPY RIGHT WITH THE LIKES OF ADIDAS AND NIKE ETC ETC SO WHY NOT ALLOW THE GAME TO FEATURE THIS SIMPLE DETAIL. THE TEAMS CURRENT SUPPLIER DOESN'T HAVE TO CHANGE BUT THE STYLE OF DESIGN COULD CHANGE TO WHICH THE PLAYER PICKS? MAKES IT MORE REALISTIC!
INSTEAD OF PLAYING 10 - 15 SEASONS WITH THE SAME KIT!!!!!!

ALSO THE FUNCTION OF ABANDONMENTS A QUARTER OR HALF WAY THROUGH GAMES, IN THE TYPICAL TIMES OF THE WINTER SEASONS IN THE PRESPECTIVE NATIONS!!! GAMES ARE RE-SCHEDULED CLOSER TOGETHER!!! EFFECTS THE PLAYERS MORALE / FITNESS ETC ETC AND COULD HAVE DRAMATIC EFFECTS ON RESULTS!!!

LAST ONE - THE LOWER LEAGUE STADIUMS TO ME ARE VERY REALISTIC BUT FOR THOUGHS DIE HARD SUPPORTERS WHO WANT TO TAKE THEIR TEAMS FROM LEAGUE TWO, TO THE PREM COULD WE NOT HAVE A SIMPLE OPTION TO RESTRUTURE THE SURROUNDINGS ON THE GAME? AND SEE THE PROOF AS THE SEASON GOES BY?
well first it should be faster,and then u should be able to score outside the area more often,cross better better through balls because fifa 08 sucks the best thing is when u are online ,and another thing u cant take anybody on speed its bad,and the crossing its the worst i ever seen
1,graphics must be way better no matter what league the player is in.
2.Different commentry lines, im fed up of hearing the same line everytime a goal or foul is commited.
3.Have an international manager mode with tournaments like world cup and african cup of nations.
4.Crerate more football team stadiums, like elland road! WE ARE LEEDS!
5.Give more options on formations and tactics.
6.And finally! when it is the transfer window can the player or team that your trying to transfer please give a more specific reasn for why they dont want to sign! e.g. some players say "stop wasting my time with such a horrible offer" cant they say why its a horrible offer like, my salary is to low or the year contract is to short.
7.have youth training camps
8. in the crowd have flares and the occasional conflict with police trying to prevent stuff. If supporters are being violent make the board fine them.
9. be able to go into administration
10. Create real managers like alex fuergason, arsne wenger, benitez, keegan and international managers.
11. be able to dive in the penalty area.
12.be able to rebuild stadiums and knock down fan shops.
13. when creating your own team let the originall players stay with their club. e.g. im creating a team called.......... burger united, i want steven gerrard in that team, but i also want him in liverpool aswell. However i only want this for creating a new team. NOT club transfers.
14. Is it possible to be able to edit the players appearance. for example, if someone gets a new haircut i would like to change that.
15. can we have interviews and television broadcasting after games. maybe the 10 o'clock news mentioning england wiining the world cup or a recent injury or a take over of chairman and manager.

PLEASE TAKE THESE INTO CONSIDERATION THANKYOU!
OK FIFPlay, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE SERIOUS WITH THE SUGGESTIONS.

I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF THESE IDEAS - AND WHILE MOST OF THEM ARE EXTREMELY BRILLIANT, AND SOME POOR ( FIGHTING...UH.!!I
I FEEL MANY OF THEM ARE "DREAMS" AND WOULD REQUIRE EA. TO EMPLOY ANOTHER 9,000 MEMBERS OF STAFF TO CREATE SUCH A GAME... NOT TO MENTION SONY TO CREATE THE PLAYSTATION 4 SO THAT IT CAN HANDLE SUCH A GAME!!!

Here is a List form - for ease of reading, and understanding. All of which I feel are capable of being introduced based on previous games and enhancements.

THE GAMEPLAY IN FIFA 08 WAS AWESOME, MORE NEEDS DONE THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE BETTER PASSING ETC..

* More Stadiums - high cost due to licenses, but big grounds...Hampden, stade de France, Millenium Stadium, etc..the TOP 100 grounds in the world.

* Visible Referee - I know he'll get in the way, but thats down to all of us to be good enough to avoid him...need not be different real names, just a Ref will do.

* Be a PRO "FULL" Mode - this was tested in FIFA 08, but now it needs to be available throughout the whole games, for several friends playing on one console as a single player in the same team. And maybe even the optional ability in manager mode to choose to play as one player in any single match, as oppose to the whole team.

* More Cup options - I know this could be tricky, as EA have franchises for games with ECC and Internationals, but never has there been an option to play an international tournament! African nations, Euro Championship, World Cup etc..

* More celebrations - Nani flip, and add some old...like R.Milla dance, baby cradle..etc..

* Diving - just a single button to press and dive (say L2 & Suare), but if done off the ball or with wrong timing you get booked.

* Trophy winning scenes - lets see some excitement at winning a trophy, and the league title being collected at the end of the season when you win the title.

* Improved unlockables:
- Famous old players, Maradona..Gemmill, Dalglish etc..
- More kits..
- World Club Competition unlockable - now play in the biggest prestige tournament..

* Crowd Animation - Improved chants, LOUD... like your actually there! and with more movements, scarfs...banners...flairs(maybe)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGER MODE IS STILL SERIOUSLY POOR - I THINK MOST EFFORT FOR 09 SHOULD BE ON THIS, TO MAKE IT THE MOST "COMPLETE" FOOTBALL GAME:

* International Manager after you reach 10* prestige.

*Trophy room - James had a point, the ability to see a trophy room with all the items won...if you've seen smackdown, you have a room to explore and could see trophies, kits, boots, international caps, winning title pictures on the walls etc..

* Player of the month - Manager of the month

* Job vacancy - Lets have the ability to change clubs throughout the season as poor performing teams sack their managers within your league - and then you can still have the "end of season" option to change to a club in another country.

* Real Managers - it adds to the realism, even if you cannot do anything with it and just see their names or pictures on the team selection screen, and during the team screen. CREATE REALISM PEOPLE...IT DOES NOT NEED MUCH.!!!

* Transfer Requests - as you usually get emails after games, why not have requests from players not getting a place demanding games, or transfer?

* Similar to FIFA 07, the ability to 'Sim' a game, and join at any point during the 'Sim'

On a final note, it's only fair to have the best players in the world on the cover... the most two talked about guys in the busines...Cristiano Ronaldo, and KAKA.
add a referee, well i see the ref in the entrance to the pitch but wat d hell is he doing der. also add some ppl on the bench and a manager. training mode on psp and. and wen u win a cup show it. also put in the world cup. and dive and shirt tugging and new tricks. and take time in putting beter graphic and
Cristiano Ronaldo,Benzema,Messi should be face of Fifa 2009 for PSP .New kinds of Graphic,new commentry n when win a cup should be shown after the match .One last thing , before the starts match in the game should be given the award of player of the month,year,youngplayer, the golden ball,fifa player of the year,Manager of the month.Also customize the players face .This comment
if u guys dont put in what james wrote u guys are gonna have a terrible game just one more thing i have to add u should put in isreal and more teams in the rest of the world
For the new FIFA game, it should have the ability to train a specific player so that his stats can become better in manager mode. Pull of trick moves more easily. Put a ref. When creating a player, bring in more hairstyles and more uses for stats and more stats, chose a certain style of play
