make it so champions league/uefa cup/league cup matches are played at night and also some league games.
weather variations and it changing in matches like a sudden downpour at old trafford.
sort it out so your not playing cup and league games on the same day or consecutive days so your best players end up knackered.
on be a pro a proper season/career mode that leads to eventual national team call ups if your good.
more media interaction on manager mode not just the same scenarios repeated.
when teams get promoted t the premier league give them proper premier league badges and not just keep the football league ones or whatever.
get the blue square premier/north/south and have a decent fa cup not just 8 teams in the first round or however many there is
i think fifa 08 is an amazing game but there are some key points here you should consider.
1. Better transfers like a newspaper or an interview with a play who has been offered a good transfer from another club.
2. At half time they can have Gary Linaker and other football commentaters talking abot the games best moments and stuff.
3. Better faces on the football players because i found about 8 people with the same face as nani or Marcelo Morreno!
you should be able to change the teams kit at the end of the season if you feel like it and should have different comontaters for every match
I think on Fifa 09 you should have loads more stadiums and better commentry Eg: " What a good run by this team" instead you should have " What a good run by Northampton"
And also stop having players sticking to the ball! it's not that easy to control!
Can you add 50 cent to fifa 09 thank you
I think it would be fun say like you have a 3rd mate whos sitting there doin nothing that he should be able to ref the game and give offsides and red cards n stuff like that... be quite fun lol
u should put women football teams on the new 1 and make the seasons more realistic like managers get the sack in other words more like a manager game in season mode and the computer should make more transfers on the free transfers
hi i wanted to submit my idea....
basicly i would like a video/replay editing mode "match of the day" where you can cut and paste and save various goals/skills and movements of players during both single player and online.
with those clips you could create a fan made video like the 1000s of fan made football videos on youtube for examply, so if your a fan of ronaldo! make a video using clips eg from your own saved replays also you could make your own highlites of your match and show the be its you and not the AI thought was good save ittand uplaod for everyone else to see!
also it be a good idea if you could use saved music on your HDD or ipod to use as a backing track to go with your wonderful skills! i would name this mode " match of my day" email if you nat more details.
Hey Guys,

I think there should be a visable referee on screen at all times and it would be good for him to make wrong decisions also. (The human touch) I would love to score a goal past a pal online when it should of been disallowed becauase it was offside. I would love the ref to give crazy decisions and for the commentators to pick up on this. I would also like to see more different types of weather and for the gamplay to be sped up a few notches to make it a faster slicker game. A stadium editor wouldnt also go a miss. I would love to invite my pals round to my home turf and beat them with ease. Another part of the game I would like to see is different netting in the nets. Little touches like this would improve the game so much. I would like really baggy nets like madrids and would also like really tight nets like wimbledons/southamptons old ones. I want to hit a 30 yard screaner and I would love the ball to bounce back out.
I think player on transfer market ahould be 100x harder to get for more excitment. Also when selling a decent player e.g c.ronaldo big clubs e.g real madrid should put in a bid casue on fifa 08 thy never do and random teams like sunderland bid!
Financial problems should bein the game as i think you get money easily enough.
Also in manager mode you should start with a crap club like charlton n work your wat up.
Also promotion to international clubs for world cup and euro would b good.
And all players should get decent boots like adidas predators etc.
make it 100x harder to score especially against good teams e.g barca
get the proper holland team with van der vaart and van nisterlooy
do pre season training and traning before match with them gettin tired and inuries.
Make injuries much much longer so they can be replaced by new players or reserves...
Also get sacked as manager mode much easier
dviing and protesting and international duties.. make red cards easier and the free kicks a bit easier to score cause i cant score any goals :( lol
i know its long but if these ideas are in the gamne i will definately get it!
you should have the real Holland/Dutch squads on the game and youll have a masterpiece, and mabye ajax cape town (south african club)
michael brumby
and another thing QUITTERS on online games should be punished for quitting like give them a 3-0 loss or something bcos ive been playin fifa 08 on 360 and im gettin fed up with people quitin its ridiculos
michael brumby
u should be able to spectate online games like u can on other games ie: graw 2 this would make the game a lot better !
angola ivory coast ghana on fifa 09 with there respectful puma kits and make manucho look good he's a great striker well done man u good buisness.
ps2
MORE Weather conditions... its always sunday on fifa 08 and when is it ever sunny in england lol

also when you are playing a cup final... actually put them in the final stadium not the home teams stadium... i won league cup with lincoln city and i had to play at a really poor stadium...it didnt even have a score board for god sake lol
should be able to take over international teams
free kicks should be better
referees
can dive and complain
change kits at the end of the seasonshould see players warming up
and it should make the crowd look a lot more realistic
thamks
fifa 08 was a good game but should have added more realistic elements to the the game.
- more stadiums,such as villa park,white hart lane and goodison park
-add create a team to the xbox 360 edition
-able to choose designs of kits after seasons in manager mode
-more chants and songs add eg: keep right on (birm),blue moon(man city)
-can be appointed by international teams for manager mode
-able to edit a players appearence after the season ends in manager mode
-able to create a stadium
-an EA sports channel just after a game showing highlights and pundits vertict
-finacial problems, like administration added for more realism
it seems like i hit the post or crossbar more than score goals or even just miss wide...i think the chances of hitting the bar more than 5 times in one game are ridiculously low
VILLA PARK should be on there as well as many other stadiums!!
in Fifa09 first gameplay must change to a realastic type.
and graphics are looks very bad on PC.
menus are the other lacking point, ea must use smaller fonts to look a proffesional football simulation not as a kid's game and let more space on screen, to add more detail.
and formation of teams, substitution tactics, ea must learn something from its rival PES.
yazied adams from islamia
just to add on to my previous message players should physically age throughout manager mode and younger ones develope the way you want like it is currently being done and you can edit players features as they like to change their hair stlyes and kit edit in off season .
show subs warming up, managers giving tips, REFEREES!!.
referees makes mistakes if they stand in bad posessions.
make crowds more realistic.
more realistic injuries and more celebration after winning the league or the cup.
thank you;)
mr.mall from islamia
ehhhhhhhh. edit player kits in off season manager mode , player age and ps3 version be made better than xbox coz dat suxx. to all my islamia peeps i love u all fifa rocks!!!!!!!
amin naathie from islamia
more national teams more leagues more players and players physically age in manager mode and world cup , africa cup of nations an copa america and euro 08 in manager mode . more youth players evens if they made up longer manager mode on a more inter active level with players rival managers and clubs
yazied adams from islamia
i think fifa08 is the perfect but there is room for improvement like more international teams and the common crap like linesman on pitch etc but i realy think the manager mode can bemade more realistic like ohter managers such as ferguson and wenger , mourinho trying to sign your star players . i also think that the sper clubs like barcelona , madrid , united etc should sign and sell their players more often and produce their own youth stars . also other clubs offering you to come manage them and player trades be made avialable like trading robinho for messi and you pay the difference or the difference be added to your budget . also after you manage for a while international teams offer u jobs. also more leagues be added so we can sign all our favourites like vager love and asharvin , pavlyuchenko etc also player relationships and locker room problems player relationships affecting team chmistry
make crowd graphics much better because its just poor at the moment.
Love fifa 08 but here are a some changes I would make.

1) Keepers must improve some of the decision making by goalkeepers on the game would just never happen.

2)Better free-kick system

3)Holland national team must have real players instead of made up names.

4)Referee and linesman should be visible.

5)Referee's and linesman should make mistakes like they do in real life and performances from referee's should vary.

6)Online mode if someone quits the game because they are 3-0 down should have points taken away and if they keep doing it should be banned from playing online.

7)If you get to a final it should be played at a neutral ground not what ever team is at home.

8)Manager Mode - international games should affect players like injuries and fitness levels and also be able to withdraw them from national team. Also try and unsettle players at another club who you want to buy (just like real madrid do) .

Thank you for reading and hope some of my thoughts are taken into consideration
put alot more stadiums on fifa 09 please.
more realistic songs and anthems to match the teams like 'greasy chip butty' for sheffield united.
better lower league players because beattie is miles better than 73.
have the ability to dive that would make it better.
more weather conditions
more stadiums in the lower leagues.
better graphics and commentry.

1. According to all previous versions (including 08), every good player has a lot of pace. When you're playing with Man. United, all your players are very fast. When playing with a lower class side, i.e. Shrewbury, your players are slow. SKILLS AND PACE ARE NOT THE SAME! Find a different way to distinguish players from each other. How about emphasizing on ball control and passing?

2. It takes the goalkeeper way too much time to rush out when you when you command him to do so. This used to be good. It doens't feel natural at all, it should be changed back.

3. You used to be able to simply tackle someone (by hitting the same button you use for shooting). Nowadays, it is quite hard to defend properly, as attackers just move all the way around you. Even though you know what they're going to do, which direction they're going to go, a lot of the time it's still based on luck whether you can stop them.

4. When clearing the ball, your player usually randomly kicks the ball in any direction. This should be controlled manually!

5. What happens rather often, is that a defender who fouls an attacker who was about to find himself in a one-on-one with the goalie, gets away with yellow or -in some cases- even nothing. One could argue that this is actually realistic, but it happens too much if you ask me.
these things MUST be better
1. superstars like ronaldo and messi and torres and villa should be alot better because thy are in real life.
2. player emotions of the players like ronaldo's free kick and stutter when taking a penalty.
3.goal alerts of who scored and when from other matches.
4. quik free kicks on gamesplay.
5. better online play.
veiwable linesman and referees and mangers.
6.when you win a cup final you should be able to lift the cup and recieve medals for winning.
On manger mode after 1 season you should have to make your own new kits and design your own new stadium and build it.Also you should be able to make your own manger and if you want to use him as a player manger.
jay dos santos
i think that:

1. when creating a player, you can submit a photo online to ea and they create the perfect face as they do on ea tiger woods.
2. more stadiums and stadium interaction e.g players are effected by fan atmosphere
3. fans in stadium more interactive e.g flags banners some guy fetching a hot dog or something, getting excited when ball is near box, standing as team counter atacks etc
4. refs and linesman
5. diving/shirt tugging, more accurate and more inaccurate decisions from refs to spice the game up a bit
6. new game mode
7. players have a mind of their own sometimes e.g they want to leave clubs, sign for clubs and lose temper ont he pitch due to decisions or bad tackles, which could get them sent of more or booked, even fighting so they get suspended.
8. a match of the day style mini programme to be played in background of manager menu at the end of every week : )
9. commentating is repetitive and annoying sometimes innacurate, use more than 2 commentators and many more phrases
10. more competitions e.g champs league
11. managers etc viewable

(teachers going mad ill write more later lol ;)
It wud be wiked if there were different commentators for different matches!!!
Fifa 08 is my favorite football game, however i would suggest some improvements for fifa 09.

- increase the monetary reward from winning the uefa cup and champions league. Currently there is only the sponser reward, however in real life the winner recieves multiple millions.
-Improve the detail when upgrading staff, stadium, scout etc. Make it possible to create your own stadium from a range of options, including the 4 sides of a stadium, the amount of business seats, perhaps even the ability to assign an intro song as the players come onto the pitch. As for the staff detail could be given to what they specialize in, the ability for high quality staff to turn ordinary players into skilled players that can make moves such as ronaldo in the long run.
-Work around the free transfer exploit, as that is the only real way to make money, so attention needs to be given to that.
-Make the skills controlls more user friendly. On the ps3 you have to use a different command depending on the direction you are running in, which is very anoying. Eg the rainbow, down, up, up is the command when running up on the screen, but when you run to the right it becomes left, right, right.
-Ability to score directly from a corner by giving it a spin.
-More realistic player interactions when goals are scored. When a goal is scored the 1st few seconds the other players just stand there, and in the next scene they are jumping on his back. Make it so that instantly after a goal the players all run towards him.
-Add lots and lots and LOTS more voice commentary. Martin tyler is a legend, he was fantastic in fifa 08, however after a few matches i feel like ive heard it all. Besides him knowing every player name, spend more attention to him saying things regarding to; deliberate own goals, players slipping as they take the shot (another idea), commenting on the expression on the managers + subs faces when occasionally showing them on screen, goals scored from near the half way line, comments when making a nice move/skill, comments that reflect on the last matches in the tournament; eg that they have beat X, so who knows what they can do next.
-And the ways in which you can shoot. Lob, and power shot are nice but perhaps giving it a small flick in the air and then doing a volley/bycicle kick would be a welcome addition
be a pro mode sould be played like the take it to the next level nike advert
shoud have different weathers ( rain,snow) cause every game it is always sunny
more national teams
World cup nd euro mode
1. More Stadiums
2. Superstar Mode (like madden)
3. Better celebrations with the whole team not just defenders, perhaps a choice of the intensity of a celebration, where in which ur player may get a yellow card for jumping in the crowd or taking off his shirt.
4. Player relationships, like you might see players who are good friends off the pitch celebrate together more
5. Intense commentating and celebrating in big matches
6. Instant free kicks / throw in's
7. See the referee / linesmen on the pitch
8. See the manager on the side of pitch giving instructions
9. Better celebration and actually do a trophy ceremony after a huge cup win
10. Full stadiums with more realistic crowds! Stadiums should always be full if your team is performing well and for big games, if your team is at the bottom of the table perhaps then their may be empty seats. Also crowd should all jump up when somebody scored and be moving around, in 08 their like stick people who sit there even when their team just won the english cup with a 90th minute goal!

That is all, keep up the good work EA!
I think it would be good if you could change the kit after each season, and you could pick the sponsors on the the kit
1.more young players like danny simpson, jonny evans and danny welbeck for mancester united
2.Viewable referee and linesmen
3.You can send your substitutes to warm up

Thanks
oh and 1 mor thing whn you hav long range shots and they are heading for goal the keeper turns around and runs towards his goal to get back on his line in time witch wouldnt happen they would just stick out a hand to try and stop it i think this needs to improve thanks :)
i think weather should affect how the ball moves. also possibly the quality of stadium to how the players perform. like if the pitch is too spongy from not having enough maintenance they might get tired quicker. in be a pro you should probably have some kind of point system where you cant get a player thats too amazing, otherwise you just end up being captain all the time. one more thing, the offside rule should be more precise, like if it comes off a defender its not offside, ive had it happen where it was passed to me from the opposite team and somehow i was offside
i think that in fifa 09 there should be more stadiums becaus that les artais or whatevr it is called is so annoying. definatly should have the bernabou why isnt that on there. should play finals of cup e.g. FA Cup League cup at wembley instead of the home teams ground. c players lift trophies and collect medals when they win them. more emotion when teams lose important matches. make gael clichy 99 overall lol. make the top 4 teams in the premier league play amazing because on my season chelsea got relagated witch is a bit ridiculas and i dont think that i have ever finished a season on any fifa game were arsenal chelsea man u and liverpool have all finished in the top 4 spots together witch is what always happens in real life.
In game modes you should have one where u can by a team and build staidiams,hire and fire staff by players buy players and online create a team and be the owner of it and ply online.

they should have it where you can create a player and start of where your playing for a u12 academy then keep getting scouted if your good until your 16 then start playing for a mens team and proffetionanly

on fifa 08 online isnt very good so you should do online tournemnts like on euro 2008

they should make these things better;
COMMENTRY
freekicks
corners
online features
create a player
THE LINSMAN AND THE REF ON THE PITCH
and the weather should affect the pitch
Player specific motions.

Like Cristiano Ronaldo has his own sets of movements, same goes for those "superstar players" like Ronaldinho, Torres etc etc.
Just make Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic, Vedran Corluka, Danijel Pranjic and Stipe Pletikosa all really good!
Must get the Indoor stadium back.
Things like better newspaper reports with current affairs ( e.g manager linked with Real Madrid or X Player wants to move to Lyon ) If its a cup goal in the last 25 mins then the whole squad and staff should jump on the scorer, especially in the final. On a penalty shoot out, see the rest of the squad linked arms. Whilst playing, goal alerts of other matches and who scored. You hear players want to move to clubs so that could be added to the newspapers and also like several clubs after one player - beef the newspapers up a bit. Weather conditions like rain could postpone games and even abandon games. More international games and injuries in training. Also play Under-21 games too, Have the chance to manage an international club nd chairmans of other clubs wanted you to be their next manager. Change kits every season. I am looking forward to FIFA 09. Hope you include some of my inclusions.
One thing i think should really be put in the new fifa is player of the tournement and then also player of the season!!

Also when the young players grow up they automatically go into their international teams if they good enough!!

Thanks
Id just like to say i loved fifa 08...........but there are still a loads of minor things that if improved on could made this game unstoppable.
No.1 Goal keepers reactions to high balls needs to be sorted, they always seem to be indecisive when a bouncing ball comes to them or when a deep ball is crossed in, when do you ever see indecisive keepers? its usually all or nothing with keepers!!
No.2 A bigger range of through balls need to be available, because they are to short or to long every time.
No.3 Refs, linesmens, 4th officials, managers and subs all on the sideline like in the madden series.
No.4 Cut scenes for subs to show all players from both sides coming onto the pitch, so that the person playing knows whats going on.
No.5 Quick freekicks, really good idea to keep the realism and pace of the football even closer to the real thing.
No.6 More stadiums, more croud songs, better weather conditions.

Im sure no matter what happens, the next installment is going to bigger and better than ever, and i cant wait. Just hope Englands stats dont suffer after the diabolical Euro 2008 efforts, haha.
all of these people have great ideas,
1. ben had a great idead of putting the be a pro mode in the manager mode. so u actually start from the beginning from the lowest grade and work your way up get promoted move to bigegr clubs etc.

2 i think there also should be a training mode in the manager mode where you train and work on your passing shooting and freekicks etc.

3. i think there should be more stadiums as there was no santiago bernabau stadium in fifa 08 playstation3 game.

4. i think shooting should be more realistic in fifa 09.

other than that fifa has done a gr8 job i love fifa been playing it since 2001 and loved everyone of it.

thanks EA
