Your Ideas for FIFA 09

i would like to have more weather types on the arenas ond more arenas. It would be great if at least one official arena from each country that have a fotball league would be in the game

Maybe have some more Scottish stadiums aswell as lower Scottish leagues aswell.

I wish to have croatian league (HNL).

Strangely, Panathinaikos were left off the Rest of World section for FIFA 08 - whereas in 06 and 07 they've been there. Please include them again as they will probably win the Greek League this season anyway.

also, as 'Kyle' said, chill out the the cut scenes, if there is a foul, thow in, or ur team scores a goal, let if feel more natural to watch the celebration, even give the player a choice of what celebration to do, ie, celebrate with team mates, run up and into the crowd, take the glory solo style!! these would be cool, on be a pro and any other game style!

they should add the league from colombia and argentina and it would make alot of ppl happier

Fifa 09 should fully expand on 'be a pro' mode. create your player, go through some drills so scouts can judge you as a player and see what offers you get from clubs, Who knows you may be the next rooney, or torres playing premier league, and international football as a youngster, or you may have to build ur way up, or even, be happy being local legend!!

As far as your skill level, it should gorw according to the actual gamers skills. durin training u can improve on specific setions, the better u do time and time again on a skill makes it increase more so than only doing in once now and then..

Also controling the players life style, as in going out to clubs, golf course, charity fund etc etc.. basically having a social and family/partner element to keep ur player happy, because if ur partner is happy then u will be as well. even have it effect ur players mental skills. Virtua pro football is pretty cool with this, although the game play is AWFUL!!!

Also, have it as intervactive as possible, be able to interact with players and ur manager.. Have it showing ur the 'respect of: Your club, The fans, The worls scene (ie, as in how the world or football sees you)

You should also be able to specify your favourite club, giving u a better chance to sign with them..

On the whole game play wise, would be cool to see refs and linesman.. Make the crowd even a bit more realistic.. Also, if you get picked in the squad.. as the players enter the pitch have it so you are looking from 1st person mode, so you can have a look around and get a feel for the atmosphere!! and if ur on the bench this would be a cool feature as well, really make u feel like u are there..

These are some basic ideas, be a pro mode has so much potencial, i hope they use it well in 09!

Also,
Make the tournaments of South America eg Copa America, Copa Libertadores
AND WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SORT OF SCOUTING SYSTEM DIFFERENT TO THE ONE WE HAVE. SO LIKE BEFORE YOU BUY YOU CAN GET PEOPLE TO GIVE REPORTS ON THEM.
Make the genetic people look a bit more realistic. It gets boring after a while when everyone looks fake.

Well I was a little bit disappointed with FIFA 08. I think these are some things they should do to make FIFA 09 good:
1. Make an Owner Mode.
2. Make a Superstar mode, where you make yourself as a player and make your way up from a crappy team to a world class team. If anyone has Madden 08 you can see how good it is.
3. Get rid of all that Be a Pro stuff, that is just crap!
4. In Manager Mode, they should let you create your own stadium for your team, or maybe upgrade it. It is annoying having the same home ground as lots of other teams.
5. Have custom Champions League jerseys, and you should be able to change your jersey and it's sponsors every year.
6. Make an Argentinian League, a Greek league, the J-League and other popular leagues, not leagues some people never knew existed! eg Irish league.
7. In Manager Mode they should have events happening in the off season eg World Cup, Africa Nations Cup, Euro, Asian Cup, Americas Cup.
8. They should let you become the manager of a national team.

I know they probably won't do any of those things, but there are some good ideas to improve it.

Yes, we need the Copa Mustang, since its been ranked 9th best league by IFFHS. Also add the refeeres, and Copa Libertadores, and Sudamericana!! More latin american leagues.. and thats all!

Yes, there is more. i know pretty pathetic. the dribbling sucks, you need to make it so that when you press a button he makes a move, not the stupid R3 or L3 sticks, there is not control to what he does, so many times you want to make one move and he does something completely wrong. Like I said, Make a SOCCER game. And also , make the crosses better, they suck , the ball either goes way out of bounds and over the goal, or it goes back to freakin midfield, make the crosses more accurate. and also, to go with the crosses, make it so that you can push a button, and the player does a scissors kick, or a diving header, the gamer should be able to control that, not the game.

Make a soccer game for once. FIFA 2008 is the worst one yet, it seems like every year you just make it worse and worse. You need to worry more about the soccer aspect of the game than all that other unimportant feature crap. Make a freakin soccer game for once. There is like a million times when youll go one on one with the goalie and miss the whole damn goal, and then theres instances where you can score from midfield, make it realistic. make the passing better, make the free-kicks better, the freekick system this year is ridiculous, the goalie can move around, there is no way to score a damn free-kick goal. I dont have time to play the damn game night and day to figure out how everything works. make it better. also, why are no players close to being 100. and why is wayne rooney the best player in 2008?? have you lost your minds. ribery is the same number as some really other crappy players. you need to get your facts straight, who is doing the research for you??? giving the best players like ronaldinho, ribery, messi, luca toni etc. the same numbers as some other crappy players. and shouldnt the best player be 100 overall. if the numbers go up to 100, then the best player should be 100, like ronaldo was in FIFA 98. FIFA 98, was way better than what youre putting out lately. like i said, its getting worse by the year. and who selects the songs that you put in??? theyre horrible, i go to options and turn them off so i dont have to listen to that crap, put in some songs that are related to soccer, i know its a crazy idea, but it just mite work. SOmehitng like "cup of their lives-ricky martin" and "samba de janeiro" those have something to do with soccer. something that would also be cool, is if you brought back the indoor soccer. put in one indoors stadium, and make sure the ball is an indoor ball.


PS: Hamit Altintop and Halil Altintop are identical twins, what about "identical twins" do you not understand. Make Hamit and Halil look the same. that is what identical twins are you know, they look alike, therefore the term "identical" twins. in the game they look completely different. hamit looks good, but halil looks nothing like himself, or hamit.. you guys need to make a better playing game, and stop worrying so much about all that other crap, when i buy a soccer game i but it for the playing, not some stupid speacial features you add. when FIFA 2009 comes out, im renting it, if it still sucks, im never buying a FIFA game again, ill just switch over to Winning Eleven, or Pro Evolution soccer, at least they still know how to make a soccer game.

PUT GHANA IN!!! WHAT MORE DO THEY HAVE TO DO...THEY HAVE SEVERAL PREMIERSHIP STARS...essien, muntari, etc...AND BEAT USA, CZECH REP in the world cup...and hosted the AFRICAN CUP...why not GHANA?

Make the league fixture lists more accurate. i.e. The festive period in England with fixtures on Boxing Day and New Years Day, the winter break in many countries, and stuff like that. Also maybe give the option to sim a day when there is not a game or use that day to put in bids for people and just go to the next day (like if you don't have a game on a thursday or something, you should be able to use that day to make transfers.

Also you should get to watch or even play your training.

Sort the advantage rule out... its awful... rebounds off the goalie need to be more realisitc... barcalona need to be down graded...!! And have the Under 21 teams available..!! then this game would be unbetable..!!

There are three leagues you should add in fifa 09 and they are:

Angola Girabola
Croatia Premier League
Colombia Copa Mustang

Also add tournaments such as African Cup of Nations and the Copas Americas

i love the game its the best but you guys need to either have to games on both with the big teams but we need the south american leagues as well not just brasil and argentina. so maybe 2 different games ones with south american teams and other with european french poland leagues.

1st of all there should be a new font and layout for the manager mode
2nd be able to use your manager mode team online
3rd more build up and atmosphere before a big game
4th feel the advantage of being at home
5th players falling over ocassionally, bad ref decisions, cancled matches (due to fog or weather conditions) and official champions league kits
6th weather effects rain, slight fog and even snow in the winter
7th no exp points relistic player growth decided on the player, age and how he has performed
8th real ledgends included with the likes of george best, bobby charlton, maradona in the classic XI
last but not least gameplay is ok but could do with a little tweak for example imrpoved dribbling, skills easier to use with players like ronaldo, messi and ronaldinho, improved free kicks , more seasons of be a pro for example equal to the amount of seasons on manager mode, maybe even include things that happen in real football matches like shirt pulling and freak goalkeeper accidents (cech against aston villa)

make a leage with old players like kev keegan ian rush and toshac

fifa 09 should have more national teams and more asian league like iran and korea leagen and it should have asia champions league

In Manager Mode, players should get injured in training etc, and other players miss matches because of family berevements and stuff like that?

1 More real stadiums.

2. Faster and smoother gameplay.

3. Training mode

4. Nightgames in for ex Championsleague games and some La Liga games.

1) Real-Time Halves: Please bring back the 45 minute half selection, 10 minutes is not long enough.

2) Real-Time Scheduling: A simple download so you can play actual up-to-the-minute league and cup schedules for you favorite team during manager mode.

3) Combine Be-a-Pro mode with Manager Mode: Bring cups, league tables, and season/career stats in to Be-a-Pro mode.

4) Cut-Scenes, Cut-Scenes, Cut-Scenes: An unbelieveable amount of cut scenes to make me feel like I am watching a game rather than playing.

Thanks.

I think that they should make players more easy the edit and add more football boots and also make more players faces real so players like in the spl and teams like sunderland and all that have proper faces and should be able to train in season's before matches and should be able to pick one player including keepers in your season and should be able to buy cars and all that so its like you are a real pro so if you are not a godd footballer or havent mad a pro you would be able to live the dream

I can`t belive the argentinian ligue is not yet in the FIFA game!!!
Players like Maradona, Di Stefano, Redondo or Messi are better than the American ones.
South America have the same number of World`s Cup than Europe and in the FIFA 08 only apear the Brazilian one.
Teams like Boca Juniors (actually the 2º team in the world after Milan) won the Real Madrid of Zidane, and the Milan of Schevshencko.
Argentina is the country that have the biger quantity of internationals Cups: 169
And talking about the teams Argentina have: 58 internationals cups
Actually Argentina is in the top of the FIFA ranking, but you preffear the Australian league or the portuguese,the turkish, the irish, or the same ligue of Mexico and Unites States (Please excusme but is the truth)

I think you should add more customization for create mode like kit style and boots and different tape for the socks. Also more stadiums. A youth academy that actually produces good player this time. Make the transfers more exciting instead of jus putting a newspaper article up eg. picture of player holding up the shirt of the team he just signed for. Maybe a reserve team where you can add younger players so they can get better instead of sitting on the bench. Lastly get offers from other clubs to manage during the season.

Have videos of the best player like highlight of players like the world best Ronadinho,Kaka, C.Ronaldo, Robinho,Pato and Beckham.

think u shuld create ur stadium like if u dont like ur other stadium, u shuld build another 1, and choose da people 2 build it,

I'd like you guys to include a feature like in NBA Live games where you can bring up passing buttons for logical passing choices. Nothing is more frustrating than setting up a great series of passes to get in on goal only to have the last pass go to a completely illogical player. It also removes the terribly annoying aspect of having the ball carrier having to turn and face the guy who he wants to pass to, thus allowing the defense to tackle him easily. Heel passes and lay offs would work so much better and allow for a more realistic flow to the game. Please don't make the passing directional again without somehow addressing this issue. Also, the through balls need to be addressed. Too often they go directly at a defender while the offensive player is blazing past him. Make the ball paths more logical, guys aren't going to pass right at a defender, they would try to get around them. If that means making the pass longer or on a different angle, then do it. Make chasing down through balls and areal balls realistic, too often they just go right at defenders instead of into open spaces where an offensive guy could run them down. Passing was a huge reason I couldn't play Fifa 08 longer than a few days before going back to Fifa 07 on regular XBox. At least in that game you could pass fluidly, even if the players couldn't do all their little tricks.

u sould be able to make loans 2years or 6months like in rEAL LIFE AND MAKE A OPSION TO BUY

AND WE BE ABLE TO MAKE THEM DIVE

carreer in. Def need the option to change team kits AND SHIRT MAKERS AND SPONSERS

THE SOULD BE THE AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS ASWELL
It should be an option to a) make player stay, b) let him compete in cup,,c)ask for compensation.

have different styles of nets for every stadium and have the white socks that christiano ronaldo wears cos they loo gd

i agree with most people add more leagues but also to add some more realism to the game like introducing all the stadiums not just the big teams so add stadiums like white hart lane or the riverside stadium etc a game called premier league stars (which was rubbish) was able to put all the stadiums on so im sure you can do it also no more trying to buy other kits because sometimes you need the 3rd strip especially when kits clash both home and away and add more weather effects such as rain thank you :) looking forward to it coming out

eircom league winners should be in europe the next season

make the game play more like pro evo

What you guys at EA Games can do to make this game a bit better would be to add all the countries in the world not just the big time teams.

all you people on this site are losers and smell as bad as me (i smell really bad) and i have no friends so if you want you can be mine and we can be loser chums forever

you should be able to do seasons as a created football player and have you stats rise and s***

Even though 08 is miles ahead of all the previous soccer games when it comes to realism there is a few irritating flaws with the game.

1. You cant decide for yourself if the player should meet the ball when passed to. He only does it randomly. PES did very well on this aspect. (To bad the rest of the game had BIG flaws)

2. Defencive AI inside and around the box is rubish.

3. Players on the same team colliding waaaaaay to mutch. Its good the players have actual weight, it adds realism. But tone it down 5 notches!

4. GIVE US A DECENT TROUGH PASS!!! EA obviously tried to make it less effective. But they ended up making it almost totally useless. Can only be used on the wings, and barely then.

5. Freekicks. Add some realistic curling to the ball. Look over at your foes in PES. They have the right idea here. No shame in checking out the competition.

6. The keeper seems timid and undetermined when rushing out. Give the poor guy some autorithy :D

And last,

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE ALL THE GOOD STUFF THAT WORKS BEHIND!!!!!

ALSO..YOU SHOULD ADD ANOTHER difficulty LEVEL BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE FIND WORLD CLASS MODE TO EASY

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS ADDED AND MORE LEAGES ......LEAGES AND COUNTRIES THAT SHOULD BE ADDED IS E.G ALBANIA,,GHANA,,EGYPET,,AND OTHERS..

gr8 suggestions by aldush, hope u guys at fifa 09 really take notice of here. You r getting a bank of excellent ideas from all of us

1. with all the points ratings after the games why is'nt there a player of the year at the end off the season...
2.the same with the goal scoring stats ...weres the golden boot at the end of each season..
3.european player of the year and world player of the year..
4.a nice ceromomy for each award is not to much to ask is it.....
5.on default replays take the action further back so you can see the build up play with all the one-twos and magic skills rarther than just seeing the final shot on goal..
6.goal of the season award.....?iam am sure with all the power of the next generation games these little add ons are well withincapabilities and would add a great realism to the whole game..

Bobby has made some grt suggestions. I also think that if you have a player that is say 78 overall skill rating or above, no matter what country the player is from, he should be elligable to play in euro, asian cup, world cup, or african cup. It should be an option to a) make player stay, b) let him compete in cup,,c)ask for compensation. All optiomns can have negative/positive effect on morale, contentness etc. More emphasis should be placed on building a squad, and playing young/ fringe players in cup games, and rewarded by giving xtra experience pts when u play an inexperienced player in a leaugue or cup game, also more realistic fatigue on top players, to encourage using all members in ur squad. Also camera options need to be better. The skill moves are ok but very rarely did i ever get a chance to use them. But still 08 kicks but on pes 8 by far

when you finish season after season winning whatever league you play,n it gets a bit tiresome. But If u were able to change ur teams kits player looks etc, and have a more engaging MANAGER MODE, it would make things better. Also there is still the issue of players running like they r on tracks. Tha needs to be fixed. Scoring is the main game of football, so when a goal is scored do a CUT AWAY SCENE with better goal cellebrations, MAKE IT more of an event when a goal is scored.And BE A PRO ONLINE MUST BE an option availiable to play a full season/ carreer in. Def need the option to change team kits.

You should be able to change the goalkeepers shirt to different colors and styles and change their gloves.

Well first of all i have ditched fifa for pro up unitl the new game ea brought out this year, fifa 08 was so much more advanced than previosu years and equally if not better than pro this year round. Perhaps fifa have now (after 8 long years) finally caught up with konami's pro evo. One thing about fifa is that they have made it so realistic compared to pro's arcadie style of gameplay. Things in my opinion that need to be changed are first of all EDITING! This is one advantage that pro has over fifa, the power to edit aspects of the game can change the perception in which everyone plays! Yes, fifa has a sort of edit mode this year but how crap is it that you need enough points to be even able to chnage stats! More editing options are a must. Another aspect that i hate about fifa is that the players seem so slow, if c.ronaldo or henry are running at a defender they should be able to bomb past them without difficulty!! The tricks are good but are annoying to pull off and are often not used. The shooting is another annoying aspect, if wayne rooney is shooting at goal I want to see the ball travelling fast through the air not looping, and every shot always seems to curl outwards annpying if your running diagonally towards goal and cannot curl the ball! A ref and linesman would be good! The crowds sounds are pretty gash too considering when you score a goal and it takes 2 seconds to acknowledge that youve scored! Keepers are too easy to beat 1 on 1. Team management needs to be looked at, for example when scrolling dwon the team should be quicker when you click someone to take off surely you should be able to press right on the d pad or analog stick and it shud scroll dwon to the subs bench like pro and not click off the perosn you have just clicked to be subbed an amazingly annoying factor!! The reffing needs to b sorted the amount of fouls that happen that arnt even fouls is riduculous! Cup games and finals should be made so that you actually feel like your playing in a cup final rather than just another old game! Plus seeing your team lift the cup wouldnt be so bad! More creation editing for players would be great to! Through ball needs to be looked at it basically never works! However this game is great above all those factors and has definitely beaten pro this year but i think in order to repeat next year then there going to have to improve and add on the areas i have mentioned!!!!

u should put in the scottish stadiums like celtic park and hampdem park

during carreer mode,every 4 years take a break for league games and create a world cup, and be able to choose the player available at that time for whatever natinal team you choose . after world cup is over go back to leagues. have this done ever 4 years since the leagues last 20 years.

i hope fifa 2009 have more national teams and central american teams also...i would like to be able to create a goal celebration...like taking up the shirt, going to the fans...keep up the good work

you should be able to have training mode
