I pretty much only play Pro Club Championship since ive done career and pretty much got my VP nearly all completed its traits and etc:

Improvements:

-The biggest problem of them all is to get rid of button delay, we lost our long streak due to this last night. Never had it on FIFA 10
-Quick Throw ins
-Quick FK Takers
-Have some of system to improve non virtual pros for playing and winning many games. Reward our loyalty.
-Select captain and i mean that we get to wear the armband
-Improvements to the AI
-Semi assist and Assisted pas is poor, i direct the placement and power and neither gets it to the person i wanna pass it too, and instead it passes to the closest person, manual just doesn't play as well
-While sprinting, and also able to do skills that are possible, instead of letting go LT and do skills.
-Manual/Auto/Air ball, assist is still not responsive enough when defending on the back foot.

PS we have lost many games due to in game lag/button delay, which is the biggest let down of them all. I love FIFA with a passion, so please address these bugs and have your own dedicated servers. You can afford it, you are EA!

Hope you guys can take those points on. Thanks.

1 you should be able to start your season and play the champions league
From season one. Organize the tournament with the teams
That have actually qualified for either champions league or Europa league.

2 you should definitely have the champions league in the game.
The official anthem. The logos, the whole competition!

3 I would like to be able to choose my goal keeper's uniform for every match.
Just as you do for the team, every goalie should have two or three uniforms
To chose from.
Tricks. Damn, this is so fake, I swear. Since when can a guy go spinning around a trillion times faking every defender out without losing balance and scoring?! Not that common. They should fix that.

WAITING FOR THE BALL. : On fifa 11 players wait for the ball too much, they should not make the same mistake on 2012 since professionals know not to wait for a ball.

The defense is also terrible at times, its a natural instinct to put your foot in to take a ball away when you run past a player with a ball. They should put this as well.

Defense again, the defense sometimes runs opposite to where the ball is going, it's terrible.

Forwards. The forwards need better movement, they need to open up more spaces, better AI is what I mean.
I have an idea if you build your own stadium.
you make their own soccer shoes.
more many if you win a cup or league i career mode
Thanks in adcance
Add Ibrox and Celtic Park, even if you have to pay for it in the online store, both sets of these fans would buy both stadiums, there would be nothing better than beating your rivals on their patch. I mean cmon, Ibrox is one of the very few 5 star stadiums in the UK ! Or at least be able to create a stadium.

i think in FIFA 12 you should focus on the the graphic side GL! n_n
For fifa 12 I think u should add more south american leagues not just the brazilian leauge you should add at,leats the leauge from argentina.also in mager mode when using scouting you should have options like if u want that player on the firts team or set him as a upcoming star for the team and leave him in training with the second team and also they should at least say their names when their playing because it boring when you pas them the ball and the guys dont even say the name
Ive played FIFA for 10 years, and i love fifa 10, fifa 11 was crap.
I bought it played it 4 or 5 times, and im back to fifa 10.
The main reason for this is that it ruined manager mode instead of improving it, and its annoying how it isnt possible to get your virtual pro and of the personality plus traits.
My Requests?
****Improve manager mode again so its fun****
Give it more complexity. Manager mode has some of the best longevity in the game people want to get a team from the bottom to the top, so make it more interesting, and give it depth like fifa 10 had, scout players, improve facilities, but improve it further and give the manager more stuff to do.
If people just wanted to play through a tournament with no impact on the club they can play tournament mode, manager mode is for those of us that want to get more involved.
****Improve the Be a Pro mode**** let the player experience what its like to be a professional footballer, press conferences, interviews, sponsorship, form slumps, scandals, its not just on the field, its off the field as well. Crowds love and hate players, let the be a pro impact this, striker not scoring enough? Feel the wrath of an angry crowd.
****Dont cop out on the Player/Manager mode****
Dont just hack the two modes together, integrate them properly, and maybe even give the player a few more options to make it interesting. But Player/Manager mode isnt that important as long as your Virtual Pro comes along with you in normal manager mode.
****Improve Virtual Pro****
Let them gain traits like the personality + traits depending on how they take their career. Make it so they can compete with the likes of Messi and Renaldo, and make it so their player develops with this Personality+ that i actually liked.

No offense, i am sure it takes a lot of work to do what you did, but it just felt like fifa 11 wasnt worth the money, it actually made the parts of the game that kept my playing it, ie Manager mode, and the new stuff wasnt integrated fully with the old stuff, ie. Personality plus didnt affect the virtual pro.
I know none of this is likely to reach anyone that will act on it, but that’s just my rant, FIFA has been disappointing lately, and it used to be the edge of entertainment.
First of all, and I am sure many users who play FIFA 11 on PSP will agree with me, introduce or re-introduce INFRASTRUCTURE onto the PSP platform for new releasing's of FIFA. Definitely include an actual referee in game play as well as assistant referee's because from what I can see whenever a player is making a run and they overtake defenders they are somehow offside, at least include the assistant referee waving his flag for offside not some red and yellow lines which just interfere with game play. Also include the players lining up on the pitch before kick off ready to shake hands, the same applies for both managers shaking hands before and after kick off. One thing that bothers me is just how terrible the commentary is because ever since 2005 the commentary on PS2 and PSP has stayed the same, at least change the vocabulary used by the commentators. In addition, I would also recommend that whenever a player is fowled during the game they actually look injured as in calling to be taken off the pitch by emergency services, which depends on how serious the injury is. Furthermore, if a player has been fowled inside the penalty box and the referee disagree's the player can argue for or against the penalty. DON'T EVEN FORGET TO INCLUDE CLEARER CHANTS BY FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS BECAUSE I AM TELLING YOU THE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE.

Oh and why is it that whenever I play against any team in any league the stadiums are all the same? Each different team should have their own actual stadiums. Other than that please have the right to use CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL because I personally think that this would be a huge improvement and would definitely increase sales worldwide.
fifa manager mode needs to be changed, i really liked the Fifa manager mode on the PS1 in which you can pause and you yourself can play the whole match and in the manager mode i as a so called want to make my own substitution rather than the Computer bringing on the players.

When a player gets a direct red card usually he is suspended for three games but in Fifa 11 you get only a one match ban so fix that.

there is goal celebration , how about player reacting to a yellow, red card , serious tackle , or offside decision you can control their emotions by pressing or holding down buttons.

more stadiums for lesser known clubs like the champions ship, seria b and so on.
I divide my suggestions in two categories: graphic and gameplay.

Graphic:

1- Player's face more resembling with real counterparts
2- I want Pes cameras; Fifa's cameras sucks
3- National and international cup must be introduced by some kind of video. These matches must have their own scoreboard, even based on an invented graphic.

Gameplay:

1- Slower gamespeed
2- More agility and precision on game controls, especially on the player with the ball
3- Improve the contrasts with CPU player. They win too often.
4- Improve head game. It's ridicolous. My player always lose this kind of contrast, even if he is taller than the cpu player and he is in better position to hit the ball.
5- Improve referees. They whistle inexistent fouls or don't see evident one.
6- On higher levels (champion, legend) the CPU cheats when it's losing the match. Unacceptable.
reynaldi@fifalovers
add more styles like passing style shooting style falling style even injuries style. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE COULD MAKE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT
reynaldi@fifalovers
fifa really really really have to put champions league on<< MUST READ
and please fix faces like bojan krkic its really different with it's real face (im a big fan of him and im sure im not the only one)
oh yea dont forget to put on penalty shootout
1) Fix Campaign/Manager mode. It is incredibly hard to earn enough money to buy any good player even if you ace a season; winning every cup/trophy possible.
2) Fix the strikers running to the corners when I'm controlling a winger who's also heading towards a corner.
3) More football leagues and international teams.
4) Improve appearances and statistics for lesser known players.
5) Why do referees always seem to be against the player, everything I do seem to be a foul but when the computer does it, it's perfectly acceptable.
6) No 'loading' cutscene when substituting, it gets tedious and becomes a major pain in the a**.
7) Allow for emergency loans, dunno how to impliment but it would make the wait for the next transfer window less tiring.
8) More realistic ai; referees can make 'human' errors; players may accidentally forget to mark a player or lose sight of them, goalkeeper errors, etc. As of now the ai seems too perfect which makes it difficult to perform some beautiful wonder goals, which we all know in real life football is possible

When you are promoted/relegated the badge on your kit arm should change, e.g. from npower championship to barclays premier league
0. OFFSIDE DECISIONS...should be a bit late..after the player has scored..and then sees the ref showing the FLAG.just before celebrating
1. Celebrations - Players running into each other, it pisses me when u want to celebrate your style and the other player runs into you immediately hugging you.
2. Replays - Only 5?? What the hell was EA thinking, whoever was responsible for that should be FIRED ! 50 would have been good...Even having a category for replays would be a good idea..like Corner, Freekicks, Passing, On the Run..etc.
3. Crowd Graphics - Same old style FIFA 08 graphics are still in the game..Atleast show some people moving around..like for eg..if a team is losing..you could show some people leaving seats on their way out..photographers look electrocuted and stuck to their feet..no movements make the game dull.
4. Players running into the net and still trying to run..how dumb is that.
5. Player graphics..Kit graphics need improvement. Doesn't do justice on a HD screen.
6. Online game play needs to be fast...in terms of getting an opponent quick..it takes ages sometimes on FIFA08..also it takes ages to load available games even on fast connections..Friends list needs a makeover..
7. Please get the rights for Champions League.
8. Manager Reactions - lots of users have mentioned this.
9. Bit of arguing between defenders would be nice as well.
10. Add player tatoos - only those players who have them.
11. Also i would like a possibility to arrange a tournament only between 2 friends...say for instance.. knock-out round last 16..and each is assigned 8 teams each going forward.
12. PENALTIES - Its too sensitive this time..Keep missing them ! Lol
1. Bring back the points earning system, in Pc especially.
1. Make more cut scenes with players. For example when player commits a foul, you can show his reaction as he looks at replay in the screen.
2. Allow player to challenge a foul, especially penalties. If challenge is wrong, he is booked for arguing. Otherwise the foul is taken back. Keep this option especially in multiplayer gaming.
3. Allow players to practice tricks in practice mode. Make obstacles, keep levels, and we earn points after passing each level.
1. Create a stadium

2. Create a team, wich can be used in Manager Mode

3. Sponsors

4. Better cutscenes, when you win a championship

5. Bring back trainers wich can be upgraded

6. Players warming up on the sideline

7. More stadiums

8. In Manager Mode, you get supporters for every game you win - thumbs up, if you want the same :)

9. MORE realistic player faces

10. Create your on stance for your created player like cristiano ronaldo's but the way you like it.

11. Be the ref.

12.fix the bugs online for xbox live.
Also make the crowd more in tune with whats happening in the game. Sometimes the crowd will go crazy when nothing happens. The Commentary really really really needs to be improved. Have more than just two announcers, switch it up sometimes. A mini game would be really cool to, and not one that you have to go online and buy, include it with the 60 bucks we already have to spend on the time. Allow replays of great matches. Include International friendlies as well as World Cup games. Perhaps include a training mode for the virtual pro and allow players to make a connection sort of like the chemistry in ultimate team. Make it so your VP gets along with some players more than others and thus have a better experience on the pitch. Throw a cut scene of an argument or fight in, talk to refs and coaches. Show bench players warming up. Please make it so if a player gets injured that i can check his status rather than the one time message that tells me he suffered a light/medium/severe injury. Make real ones like a strain/sprain/fracture/break things of that nature.
Champions League would be a huge improvement. The computer AI needs to be improved as well as how long it takes players to get up after a slide tackle/goal keepers get back on their feet especially when there is a lot of pressure in your own box. The manager mode needs to be more personal. You should be able to interact more with players and vise versa. Scouting needs to be re-added as well as adding youth players for teams. Players need to be modeled better after the real deal. Maybe even add a "Make your own club" mode where you can create your own team with local players and add it to a lower level league and work your way into the top flight. I think that would give the offline more depth than the lacking manager mode. The online is great as far as I am concerned however players should not be able to quit as frequently. The refs need to be tuned as well. Refs dont always see everything and sometimes they see more than whats there. I am a huge Fifa fan and i will definetely buy Fifa 12 when it comes out but I hope I am not dissapointed
MANAGER ANIMATIONS ON GOALS SCORED.. WOULD LOVE TO SEE FERGIE'S W SHAPED CELEBRATION.. OR MOURINHO CELEBRATING ALONG THE SIDELINES WITH THE PLAYERS WLD BE SWEET!
overall fix darn servers really thats all that matters
Craftycarper79
Managers reaction at bad decisions.
Player manager interviews at end.
Managers banned from touchline.
Be able to take quick throws.
Players banned from ranked matches after certain amount of yellow cards/red cards.
Players that quit during a match should sustain more penalty other than DNF %.
The game is good in itself,but the most glitchy one yet.
See fans clearly with clearer chants. Flags Example (In Arsen we trust)
they should also have an indoor futsal 5 a side mini game that would be awesome plus a be the referee/linesman mode
they should have real songs that fans sing

Based on the aggression points allocated to a particular player, his temperament should alter. More aggressive players like Rooney / Guttuso must indulge in spats, etc, the extent of which should be under the control of the controller. Based on the seriousness of the spat, the referee must take actions. There should be cinematics on the players on the bench and the expressions of managers while their teams score or concede goals. If a player is seriously injured, cinematics of him being carried on a stretcher must be shown.. AND PLS PLS PLS TAKE LIECENSE FOR THE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
I think FIFA 11 IS GREAT!

The only things i think they should add is the FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP TROPHY, UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE COMPETITION, EUROPA LEAGUE, COPA LIBERTADORES, ADD MORE CLUBS INSTEAD OF THE REST OF WORLD.

Also adding new commentators for spanish section. English is good. thanks great work with the FIFA games over the years!
Some good suggestions, but the thing that bugs me the most is when your running down the wing with your striker and the other striker decides to follow like a lost sheep. The striker does attempt to get in the box just as your about to cross it usually, but its almost always too late. Very frustrating!!!
BE A REF MODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can only manage online games if a certain levels eg:clubs
make a bad call then your rating gos down
THERES LOADS OF IDEAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this video is my oppinion for Fifa 11:
https://youtu.be/pcFAACDU00g

So, in Fifa 12 i want:

- Consistent and realistic game, where it is important to be good with the pad,
and where the abilities of the players on the field are respected always.. look the video!!
Now it is an arcade game where everything is random, and everything is at discretion of the game.. the game creates and discards everything it wants.. so all matchs are equal, all players are equal, 22 robots, that the game shapes depending on the circumstances .. it is a game that plays alone. not good..

- I should have full control and exploit the full potential of my player, always, use my tactics, always, without that the game suits everything according to circumstances..

- The game should be clean, it should simulate a footbal match, giving to the opponents the chance to compete against the best of their ability..online and offline.. instead now it is the game that forces situations, flattening everything.. what’s the sense of Personality + if the game does not respect the values and abilities ​​in the field?

- The AI ​​must be humanized! they are perfects automatons, it is too irritating to play against them.. es. every cross, every corner countered by my defense, the ball ends 9/10 to com.. it is not hard, it is stupid.. every passage is perfect, and when he wants to go to shoot, it is impossible to stop it..

- Stop with the excessive pressing, the matchs rhythms must be more bland and realistic .. and slow speeds must be slow ..

- Pro passing, it makes no sense because it is false .. it should be based on the balance of the players, but it is not so .. it is random, is the game you choose when you make mistakes .. also badly affects even the full manual .. sometimes my player is well balanced, but the passage comes out so ugly.

- Full manual, it should be developed separately and well maintained from assisted..
in Fifa 11 for PS3, it has deteriorated from Fifa 10 (or FIFA 11 on PC).. the ball goes to the player that the game chose as a receiver.. in this way, the game force me to forced choices, because the change man was hurt, many times I can not change man in any way..

- Change man, i use it manual, but is not manual, how it is possible? in defense, the game changes man very bad, in attack, as said before, it forces you to forced choices..

- Attack and defence play together to create the space for the attackers .. they should be against each other, to the best of their ability .. In FIFA, all is for the benefit of the attack .. it's not good, it is boring and fake..

- Arbitration is bad, few whistles and bad, also if you make foul with a button that is not used for the tackle, the referee does not see the foul https://youtu.be/BMBzvlovL5g .. the advantage rule is not enforced always good, sometimes the referee stops the action even if I'm going to score, he seems to do it on purpose..

- Contrasts in general, require no skills, the game decides, not taking into account the skills and values ​​in the field, it's all random..

- Edit, interior and exterior completely useless .. the interior is limited in the number of creations, the exterior is too limited .. You should give a chance to change every player and every team, of course, create two profiles, a cleaner for the online, fully editable for offline..

these are the key things for me, first of all a solid base..
The Manager mode always gets bugs and the game freezez meaning you have to start all over...Why not embrace the dynamism of fifa manager with all the pr and marketing + Fifa 11 didnt work on the basic stuff that make football matches unique like cut-views to celebrating fans at goals instead of over-enamoured celebrations (which incidentally makes all the non-goalscoring teammates looked retarded dancing in groups of three repeatedly) and even the basic not being able to show more than one player being subbed off at a time!
Please can you take burnley and blackpool off the next game. Thanks
The game is a great improvement compared to FIFA 10, and everything about the gameplay is great, but i think the shooting from distance should be a little easier. Ultimate team with self created jerseys would be good, and it would be so much better if the contracts of the players didn't expire every two seconds (ultimate team). Also a futsal 5 on 5 game would be sick, similar to fifa street and nhl 3 on 3
- More radically changing player attributes in manager mode, e.g , younger players will generally only go up by 5 overall in 7-8 years
- Manager mode youths with profile pictures
- More leagues to replace the "rest of the world"
- more sets of commentators
- bring back sponsors for the clubs in career mode and as you change the sponsors the kit changes the sponsor too
- dirt on player kits
- individual player morale on career mode
- Graph player potential on career mode
- On career mode Increase player overall for certain periods if they are on form and take away overall for periods of time if they are playing badly, if this good form or bad form carries on for over 2 months or more the overall becomes permanent.
- Overall should change between seasons in career mode
- include events off the pitch like fundraisers or player problems to increase or decrease player morale, determined by previous morale and player aggression in career mode
- in career mode include scouting and have the option to loan or buy players
- Also can you make it possible to trade players
I hope you will consider some of my suggestions in FIFA 12 ,thank you for your time
You should make the game more realistic. There should be arguments in the game. Like if the players get fouls the other player should get a bar on how mad he is and when he hites the top he gets mad and maybe starts a fight. That would be more realistic.
well i would like to see appealing for red cards. training sessions(you take part in training).. when you win a trophy make it more real. fights in derbies between players!! be able to create a team a stadium and take part in a league with it!!
Add more leagues like the Ukranian league and the Romanian League. I think the be a ref idea would be good and I think whoever brought up the futsal mode idea is on to something as well.
More stadiums and introduce fights as well. Also fix the handball because on FIFA 11 most handballs given were ridicolous because they were just ball-to-hand
if brazil league is in fifa 11 then add other south american leagues (argentina) and you guys should update shoes once in a while
fix be a pro goalie. For 2 seasons now ive had to make like 2 saves.
• make it possible to trade players
• more realistic tranfers
• weekly changes of player attributes
• have the REAL cups like, champions league, copa del rey etc
Things they should add:
More foregin leagues from Asia, Argentine and Other South American Leagues
All Clubs Licsenced
Create Your Own Complete Stadium - Being able to relink it to a team
More Challenging Trophies
Create Imaginary Clubs - Real Players play for their country and real club teams as well as playing for the imaginary team
White Hart Lane, City Of Manchester, Stadium Of Light and Villa Park to be added
All Stadiums has electronic adboards

If all teams are fully licsened, then all teams should have their own sponsors in their stadium
Integrate World Cup Mode
Show Teams lifting up the trophy (e.g. Chelsea lifting up the premier league in a cutscene)
Keep game control assistance on to help others play fifa more comfortably
Keep Career Mode - make number of seasons unlimited, start as a 16 year old playing for an imaginary club
In the player mode, I would like to see more rewards for moving up and gaining more money. If I start in the Mexican League and end up in the Barclays Premier League I want to feel like I'm actually accomplished something and have, I don't know, cuts scenes of me arriving in a lamborghini or something. I want to feel like I came a long way from being an average player to one of the world's best. Also to reinforce that feeling I would like to see a U-21 league to start off my career.
Lastly, you have to do realize that the atmosphere of a game in Mexico is much more louder and unprofessional if you will than a match going on the the Barclays. In Mexico, the pitch is smothered in coffeti and paper and such. It's just more rowdy than usual. At Old Trafford if the crowd is singing a chant they're for the most part, quiet, unless a goal is scored.
Just a little more "soul" and realism would go well with Fifa 12. Thanks.
Be able to design your own stadium..move your team to another city or country
should be able to buy packages from each country for stadiums. for exmaple buy a package for all prem stadiums exp goodison park, craven cottage, city of manchester. should be able to pick which end you want to play example facing the kop 2nd half, goals at anfield should be closer, should be able to choose different net styles as well. Also should be allowed to have more choice of boots and should update the boots every 3 months.
To have managers on the side line box jump up and complain when they think a decision is wrong also go crazy when their team score maybe argue with the ref that would be cool and also have current coach look alikes say Alex Ferguson for ManchesterUnited and so on it was done in Fifa world cup but in Fifa 12 you could really make it work well with the game
please make sure that in psp boots can be changed, new tricks,hamstring injury, a player should live his own life like if he want to leave club it should be published in newspaper, if he gets injured then he go to hospital for treatment............these changes can make game real.............like the player is living his own life...............please do these changes and please reply..............
fix the foul system, not nearly enough called, more yellow cards would be realistic
fix the bugs in manager mode and support with patches
AI Fowards are pathetic, mid fielders ordinary and defenders never make a mistake, balance it out
i think fifa 12 should have fight and let you control your fight like nhl and they should be better boots or hair style and u shold be able to create your own teams and more than just one pro to mke also make fifa street 4 or fifa street the showdown or somthing like that also better graphic.
In 2010 fifa world cup we were able to see the managers on the touchline, I think this should be repeated for FIFA 12, to see the likes of jose mourinho will be pretty cool. To add to this, for career mode there should be the option to create your own managers appearance etc. and then the touchline view of the manager will be even more useful. Also the money earned in manager mode for the managers salary should be put to good use (e.g to upgrade stadiums capacity and appearance, to buy new suits etc.). Also I think that in 2010 fifa world cup it was good to see the cup being lifted not just on the floor (like in FIFA 11) and the atmosphere should be improved for big games. Overall if these factors are introduced into FIFA 12 the authenticity will be much better.
on fifa 12 there should be
play club and country get rid of contracts and fitness on ultimate team its silly having to buy stuff after every match. more league's and pleaz go down to the blue squre south and north or even the ryman league.. plus chile league and all international teams like wales. all prem stadiums like whit hart lane. maybe have jeff sterling as a commentator with ian hollaway that would be funny. show stadium and fans make them more realistic.and become a ref and linesman. on career mode have training sesions.i think its silly if you don't go down to blue squre premier. when a team like dag and red beat a team like man utd get the crowd to run on the pitch and celebrate on the pitch. make a 3d version.
