Flares(not in english games)(no flares thrown on pitch i dont want to stop and start my game), giant flags ,confetti, streamers, better longer chants (5min if no goals) when a goal is scored away, only away fans get out of ther seat, not the whole crowd, English Chants like 07, 08 was crap, Flares let of in random places not like 2005 same spots
Being able to manage an international team, and call up players
AFTER CREATING A PLAYER HIS SURNAME SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE USED BY THE COMMENTATOR!
First add more international teams or put the current interantional teams that are in form. For example; Ivory Coast, Canada, Iraq, Egypt, and update the Netherlands. What's up with non-English format when playng with The Netherlands. Can't recognise anyone from that team.
What's up with no rain in the games anymore. Why is it that when you improve in certain aspects in the game you delete them in the future version. For example the sharing of spot kicks that were introduced into FIFA 07 is no longer there. The corner kicks strategy where you can choose who you want to attack when taking a corner.
Lastly improve on the crowds. EA you need to listen attentively to the crowd supports when international and club games are playing. Sample their songs for each teams and also add their dissapointing chants as well. These would give it an authentic way and feel of the game.
Please put pack the rain and add variety to the climate.
More stadiums. No Bernabeau in the last game. Are you guys nuts.
Come on give the fans what they want.

Thanks

-being able to create your own team and players and compete by xbox live.
-referee in the game.
-being able to pay in order to get new players or to update new transfers made in teams.
-and being able to transfer ur own created players by xbox live, this would make u feel like ur actually managing ur own unique team and players.
in the version psp in the mode season we should an international tourment and pick our own players to its correspondent country.
I think that we can disign the goal keeper outfit, and also chooose our players from the clubs to their correspondent country and form a personal team.
to have more leagues
Argentine League
Russian League
Serbian League

theres a lot of star players in these leagues
Real time goal celebrations the cut shots take away from the excitement. have the camera zoom in as the player does his celebration after the goal. gives it a more natural feel.

better crowds with more excitement with the more important games (rivalries, cl games, etc.)
Fabien Kouabran
-Long intros before coming on the field, like the Euro cup 08(not the game),you can see them in the tunnel standing by the little kids and the referees, showing of formations, fans going crazy after they sing there anthem(actually show them, not the stupid shadows on 08 and we want to see hot girls as fans to, men or not the only one who like soccer)

- The referees and coaches should be visible on the filed and on the sidelines
-Better reactions like we should see the coaches get mad after a bad call and show some of the fans mad to.

-Better substitutions, like when you press start and go to sub in someone the commentators should start saying that he is warming up, and he is gonna affect the outcome of the game. showing him running on the sidelines warming up and when your ready you should press a button that lets him come in the game when your ready. SHOW THE SUB JUMPING ON THE SIDELINE NEXT TO THE REF BEFORE COMING IN, AND A LITTLE HANDSHAKE TO THE PLAYER THAT HE SUBSTITUTED. ALSO IF THE PLAYER SUBSTITUTED IS HAVING A BAD GAME, HE SHOULD KICK LIKE A WATER BOTTLE BY HIM OR SOMETHING TO SHOW THAT HE WASN'T HAVING A GOOD GAME.

-DIFFERENT FREE KICK STYLES, LIKE C.RONALDO STARES AT THE GOAL FIRST AND JUST STANDS THERE FOR A MOMENT THEN KICKS IT, ROBERTO CARLOS RUNS FULL SPEED AND BOOM IT, MY POINT IS THAT ALL PLAYERS SHOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME RUNNING STYLE, FREE KICK,CORNER OR PENALTY STANCES TO MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC.

-YOUR PROBABLY GONNA THINK THESE WELL SLOW DOWN THE GAMEPLAY BUT IT WOULDN'T, THATS WHAT WE ALL WANT REALISICNESS, HANDBALLS, AN INTRO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME LIKE THE PS2 VERSION(USE THE TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL COMMERCIAL, IT'S PERFECT FOR IT, FIRST CAMERA VIEW SO IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE THE ONES PLAYING.

- YOU MAY THINK THE INTROS AND ALL WELL SLOW THE GAMEPLAY DOWN BUT I THINK THATS WHY WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SKIP FOR.

-THE ABILTY TO CURVE THE MORE LIKE IN FIFA 06

-TO WATCH PLAYERS CELEBRATIONS AND TO PUT IT IN THE GAME

-MANAGER MODE FOR THE WORLD CUP,AFRICAN CUP,EURO CUP

-AFRICAN TEAMS LIKE IVORY COAST,GHANA, AND EGYPT

-NO SHADOW FANS, REAL FANS AND FACES INCLUDING HOT GIRLS WITH LITTLE KIDS.

-LONG CELEBRATION AFTER WINNING A CUP, MEANING GOING ON THE PODIUM ONE BY ONE KISSING THE CUP AND THE FIREWORKS AFTER AND SHOWING OF FANS NOT SHADOWS.

-ABILTY TO HAVE A BETTER BE A PRO LIKE THE MADDEN NFL GAMES SUPERSTAR HALL OF FAME, GOING TO TRAINING EVERYDAY,STARTING WITH A SUCKY TEAM, DOING GOOD GETTING NOTICE BY BIGGER TEAMS AND BECOMING A LEGEND, A FIRST CAMERA VIEW WHEN GOING THROUGH THE TUNNELS IN THAT MODE AND HAVING YOUR OWN CRIB.

-AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE YOUR OWN TEAM AGAIN

- JUST LIKE THE FIFA 08 ON THE PS2 MAIKN YOUR OWN FORMATION, LIKE MOVING THEM ETC...

- AND FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ................. ONLINE BE A PRO, YOU CAN ONLY USE CREATED SUPERSTARS, FIND OTHER PPL ONLINE JOIN A TEAM AND FACE OTHER PPL ONLINE WITH YOUR CREATED PLAYERS ONLY, PRETTY HAVING YOUR OWN CREW AND SQUAD ONLINE WITH OTHER USERS USING THERE PLAYERS TO MAKE A TEAM

-THANK YOU AND I KNOW THIS MIGHT TAKE ALOT OF MONEY AND TIME BUT THE MONEY YOUR USING OR THE TIME OF RELEASE YOU ARE DELAYING IS GONNA BE WORTH IT WHEN THE WORLD BUYS THIS GAME THEN YOU WILL GAIN MORE MONEY THAT YOU LOST!
PUT SERBIA IN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cristiano Ronaldo
Please bring back Real Madrid stadium Santiago Bernabeu.

And have Cristiano Ronaldo free kick specialty. e.g ronaldinho has got his specialty free kick so why not ronaldo. But please put the santiago benabeu in PLEASE!!
Please put these things in the game for a neater and more realistic game:

- Show weather information like wind direction and mph plus the degrees in climate during matches.

- Weather conditions affects the ball, the players the players, the pitch and the fans.

- Holes are made on the pitch from hard dives and other factors and the carved holes stay they for the duration of the match.

- Please make a larger variety of goal posts(there are many styles) and nets(there are different styles of nets as well) plus don't forget different net colours.

- Make nets splash(from powerful shots) and move realistic.

- Some teams have their emblems drawn on their goal nets and also drawn on some parts of the pitch, please include that in the game.

- Players get sick, like they catch a flu. So this may affect their performance on the pitch or may even may not be able to play at all.

- There should be a FIFA player of the year award and other awards.

- The referee stumbles and falls.

- Please put the Egyptian League and India League as well as all Arabic Leagues.

- Put more Arabic music.

- Put some Beattles songs.

- Car accidents and other scandals that affects players and teams.

Thanks much and good luck :)

i think dey shud put better home ground cheers and songs on and also have meetings with specific players and get crtisised in da newpapers i manager mode and then u will have to win ur nxt match to show da press up and also make players like ronaldo to have there sigatur skills and free-kicks cos noone can do da super fast tricks he duz and i fink u shud update wembley and the emirates cos dey look much better in real life and also ea shud put champions league logos and sponsors so when the players are trainin for example. they have the champions league bibs and trainin kit on and i fink you should make lower class teams a bit more faster. and make keepers consistant. this wud be a great help to fifa fans. GUNNER 4 LIFE BBBBBBBRRRAAPP
Scottish stadiums which i have been crying out for ... since fifa 06 why should we have wembly and not hampden or st james park instead of ibrox or parkhead

Take back the old "edit player" mode. The new system, with only able to edit the arena-player, with bought ep-packs is horrible. I want to edit any player as much as i like.
Would be fun to reinstate the indoor arena from fifa 97.
/Adam
Also create a player should be more enhanced because It's what a large number of people
will appreciate to have in the game to have their own creation of a player rather than a different hair style or different color shoes
more customizations like jerseys in create a character or squad

New shoes Nike, PUMA, and Adidas shoes

Make it quicker like the older versions. 08 is unplayable. I took it back. have had every fifa since internation. 04 and 08 are both too slow. no speed option on xbox 360

this is the most important thing for me. needs to be quick.
1. have the Blue Square Premier Blue Square north & south and their stadiums.
2. more stadiums.
3. put the logo on the created club kit & flags.
4. have more than 2 colours for kits and logos
5. created clubs have 3rd kits
6. make and build up grounds and stadiums
7. show the team holding the Trophy
I would like to see the following in manager mode:
1. 1 set difficulty
2. Each individual player having a day or two off because of a special occasion, being ill, international duty etc.
3. More in-between game decisions.
4. Players giving demands and querries.
Sponsors on shirt
Able to dive
World and Euro Cup ( Tournament mode)
Be - A - Pro eyes from players view
When a player is injured team should kick the ball out.
Spectators realist
More realistic injuries. ( Show the clip of the player getting injured and slow mo, and if they break their leg, show it snap!)
Players warm up on sideline
More chants
Crowd to wear teams shirt (But not everyone)
Sometimes crowds be rebellious and throw stuff at keeper and on the pitch.

Hello, thank you for giving th fans the chance to let tell you some of our ideas.

-Copa Libertadores of America mode, America Cup, Europe Cup Mode
-Bring Ally Mc Coist and John Motson back for the english comments, the "new" commentators are dull and boring
-please change the latin spanish commentators Enrique bermudz and Ricardo pelaez, not only they same the sae rubbish they did the last time but they suck at it, there are better commentators out there like : Daniel Brailovsky,
Emilio Fernando Alonso or Ciro Procuna.
-Less "B" divisions and more main leagues like Argentina, Czech , Chilean or Japanese leagues
- Create your own custom national team, let people create national teams, for example if we have players who were born in Guinea and Guinea is not an option in the international matches, let us bring them into the national selection rooster if we create a team called Guinea. and also allow that team to compete in world cup and other international cups
-less errors for goalkeepers, they are retarded and sometimes go random.
-more freedom on the way to set a formation before a match, more flexibility in positions
-to be able to hire retired players as part of the staff to help fan appreciation and money income.
Manager Mode improvements

1) Negotiate a contract for an extended period of time (2-5 years)
2) Create a manager, like you create a player
3) The spawned players for certain positions are all the same, just different names.
4) Edit players, both real and spawned
5) Get contract offers from other clubs
6) See results/tables from other leagues, perhaps an ESPNSoccernet center?
7) Set my players transfer price tag

Game Improvements
1) More real stadiums... where is the Bernabeu?
2) Play at NIGHT in every stadium, no more of this dusk nonsense.
3) Passing meter
4) GOOD trophy presentations, maybe have 3 or 4.
5) Show the bench, players warming up, the manager, with good graphics, not like the crowd.
IN GAMEPLAY AGAIN(GOALKEEPING)
I think you should copy(!) real goalkeeping movements(e.g.(1) when a player coming from the wing ,goes close to the goalkeeper and passes to the other waiting-for shot player the goalkeeper should immediately dive in front of him so as to stop the imminent goal and not standing and watching him(!) /In another case(2)when a player coming from the wing again and he's ready for the shot the goalkeeper should not leaving his goal uncovered(!)
During a season ther eonly seems to be one type of weather which is unshine, in the winter months of the season there should be more realistic weather conditions such as rain or sleet maybe even snow. Instead of being sunny it should be dull. Also when you play your champions league matches it is always during the day, All european games are played at night so adding this would make it more realistic. A referee needs ot be on the pitch along with linesmen/assistant referees. Dug outs should be shown on the side of the pitch. Maybe even show a few players on the touch line warming up . When substitutions are made showing the fourth official lift the board showing them sit down on the bench with a reaction from other players and the manager. Durning manager mode when you upgrade your stadium manager your stadium should get better if you are a lower league team, they wouldnt be playing infornt of ten thousand if they got into the premier league from league two. I agree with a lot of the comments made by 10896.
have the Blue Square Premier ,Blue Square south & north .
put the created club logo on the kit and the flags .
have more than 2 colours on created club kits and logo and different logo shapes .
have more stadiums.
make it so created clubs have 3rd kits. and have longer names for people and teams
i think it would make it better by having

world cup
euro cup
realistic transfers
indoor tournements
propper kits
real sponserings
dirty tackles and a diving button :D that would be ace
better keeper refelx's
Oh yh crnt forget.....

Fifa 09 should be more realistic wen some1 gets injured or somet like they have a news report on on it like, HEADLINE, TEVEZ'S BIG DROP, u know wat i meen
LOL
I thought FIFA 08 was a very good improvement since FIFA 07 but there is still loads to improve to put on FIFA 09 such as...

1) Slide tackling the last man. My mates allways do this to me and it's really annoying as sometimes they dont even get a card for the dirty challenge.

2) Handballs should be brought onto the Next Gen FIFA series as its on the PS2.

3) Goalkeepers should be better on the game as sometimes they can make stupid decisions and dont seem to be able to save low shots.

4) More Stadiums should be brought into the game as they only seem to put the best well known stadiums on there but I know stadiums such as the Madjeski (Reading FC), Stadium of Light, Villa park and so on.

5) I think it is too easy to score 1 on 1 goals on the game because all you have to do is turn to the side and then tap the SHOOT button which I find will allways go in. I think you should be able to score like that but they should make it much harder to do so.

6) In the MANAGER MODE you should be able to get the chance to manage a NATIONAL team. I think this would make offline more fun for gamers and would just be amazing for the game.

7) BE A PRO OFFLINE- You should be able to go through seasons with your selected player or Created player (like on euro 2008) and go through seasons and try and improove all the time and before you know it you might be given an offer from another club deppending on how well you do
in manager mode when you buy a player, then your team faces the club that the player used to be in. let the fans booo when he gets the ball....................................................
...............................................pine green mercurial vapor 4. do all the colours of the boots.
when the season ends, let there be a euro cup. then you can play as the international team. or you can send scouts to look for players.
they should allow you to create your own club,they should add ghana,they should add the staduim they played the champions league final and also they should allow you to be the coach of a country.i hope fifa 09 on xbox360 would be smashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Ref on pitch for defo!
2. More stadiums, it gets borin playin at the sme ground most the time!
3. More boot options because most ave FAKE boots like berbatov and he dont!
1. Realistic Career Mode. Start young (14-16), with different clubs recruiting you, or trying out for clubs. Throughout career, deal with realistic situations (i.e. Family, Friends, Media, et al)
2. In Career and Manager Modes, have reserve teams and reserve leagues.
3. In Manager Mode, manage until you retire - or die. Then, have and ESPN-like review of your career.
3. Realistic interchange and flow of players - when one player moves out of position, another player moves to cover.
4. Real Managers and thier coaching styles (i.e. Arsene Wenger's short passing game, Sam Allardyce's physical game, Sir Alex Ferguson's flowing interchange game),
5. Realistic movement by players. If try to shoot, and a player is being knocked over, his foot still lashes out at it. If a bigger player is moving for position, he can move a much smaller player.
6. No "cut" scenes. Have all movements be "in-game." For example, on corner kicks, have the camera zoom down onto the player, then but back up to the default camera.
7. More varied commentary, and only commentary for games that would be televised. A cup tie between two League Two teams would not have TV announcers.
8. In manager mode, once you've earned enough prestige, have the ability to manage national teams.
9. Keep career records of statistics for Teams, Leagues, International competitions, and Cup competitions, both indiviual and team.
10. Give keepers better AI. Have them move out to boot a ball if it is on the edge of the area with no one around.
11. Real Sponsors. If you sponsor changes, the logo on your jersey changes.
12. Authentic songs and chants.
13. Individual stadium quirks (i.e. before every home game for West Ham, show the fans singing "Bubbles")
14. Authentic individual movement by players. Not everyone moves like a robotic zombie.
15. More stadiums - even the US ones. The ability to move into a new stadium if your club is doing exceptionally well for a long period of time.
16. More media interaction - with realistic relation to geography (i.e. The US doesn't care as much, and England obsesses over it). Have newscasts and newspapers.
17. Realistic Morale and Chemistry. If players go on a winning street, morale will raise quickly. If they face a crushing defeat to a rival, it will drop dramatically. Some players have a natural ability to play together, and some player will never be able to play together, much less get along.
Manager Mode needs a lot of work. I know I'm asking for a lot and Football Manager or something may be have all this, but I think if this game has a Manager Mode, it should go all out. Give players (us, the consumer) the best simulation of gameplay and managing in ONE game.

1) The actual manager.
Yes, I want to be the Special One, wear the coat, wear the scarf and be BAMF. I want to create my manager, just like I would create my player and be able to see him on the sideline doing moronic hand signals like Rafa, celebrating like Wenger, chewing gum like Sir Alex and power sliding like Mourinho. And I want to see my manager celebrating with the team after winning any piece of silverware.

2) The actual managing.
If I'm at a club and set their stadium manager, scout, negotiator etc. at 10, and I leave for 2 seasons, they shouldn't go down to 2 when I come back. I want to be able to set my own player transfer fees to capitalize financially. I want to be able to see how much longer other players from other clubs have left on their contracts and make a shortlist of potential transfer season buys. It would be nice to see results/tables from other leagues. I don't want to have to guess if Manchester City, Everton, Atletico Madrid, or Lazio are in Europe or not if I want to go to those clubs. I want to negotiate my own contract, no more of this 1 year, win the league/avoid relegation nonsense. I'd like players to put in transfer requests. And I wouldn't mind getting sacked at Real Madrid or Chelsea for not winning a the Champions League. I want to hire/sack my assistants, be linked in the press with openings and be to tap up on players just like Real Madrid and Barcelona. Where is my youth system? And please don't make me start in the 2nd tier of the Bundesliga or the Korean League or heaven forbid the MLS to make it more realistic like in previous versions (I know 08 doesn't force this on you.) If I want to go through hell, let me decide. Sometimes we just want to fool around and blow teams up.

3) Spawned players
The players spawned on Manager Mode in '08 are ridiculous. For example, all the good RW's are from Portugal, look the same, have the same attributes, just different birthdays. I'd like to be able to customize the spawned player (change shirt style, boots, skin tone, and most importantly name. What the hell is up with names like Fernando Luis Perez de Domingo Salazar Lopez? I'd rather have him go by Perez, Domingo, or maybe just Fernando.)

Where the hell is the Santiago Bernabeu? And what the hell is this Estadio de las Artes? Please.

And oh yeah, I should be able to play at every stadium at NIGHT. This dusk nonsense is retarded.

Cheers.
2 player manager mode. me and my bro used to have me as my team and him as the opposition. cant do it on fifa 08... lame
More Freedoom in Fifa Next-Gen THANKS!! -.-

In fifa 08 when Iam in Arena training and i move the ball and the Player run after ball auto ! We Should Self Control ours Players and Run Self after the ball !!!

It is a BIG Problem !! Please Make Free Control of the player so he dont run auto after he kicking the ball !!! or something ells!!

MANAGERMODE ONLINE :D
i also think you should have proper training grounds to train in and make players easier to buy
do all leaguesenglish+other countries plus loads more stadiums and have a wider range of players
more realistic slide tackels
also one more thing concerning the be a pro story line.. as your in a season in the senior league as you come out of youth academy and gain experience your player should be offered a starting position and selected to play for there country they chose to make their player...

PLLLZZZZZZZ take this into serious concideration
