FIFA 11 Reviews

Make the game more realistic! Its so frustration at the moment because of how bad the way in which the game handles the strength of a player. every time i get the ball the computer pushes me off the ball. i don't get a free kick. I get kicked in the head! no free kick. I get kicked in the foot, so i lose the ball and i don't get a free kick. Yet when i do all these things to the computer, its a foul.

OK. First up it was a terrific game but struggled in some areas. Firstly it should be noted I only play on legendary which would be better named realistic so one can feel like he/she is playing real football. My major concern in play was the run’s of the players. When one player had a break towards goal the other forward (instead of creating a run parallel for a easy pass and easy goal) would either wait up for the defender or run right beside him and give the scorer no option but too shoot at a ridiculous angle. Completely unrealistic. also, when a player has the ball other players should present more for the pass rather than relying on the player with the ball to out manivoure the defence. shooting is also an issue with only lob, finesse and power shot, one cant blast it across the face while facing another direction and score because it is either too direct or to soft to beat the keeper. very annoying! I believe realism is essential too a perfect sport game and FIFA is the closest to a perfect sport game. That said it needs two more very important things. CROWDS. I’m sure it takes a lot of work but a realistic crowd would improve the game immensely. I love career mode in both be a pro but i found be a pro too difficult this year as players did not position themselves well enough to pass and play as well as your player was fatigued WAY too easily. In manager mode, it was a fantastic improvement on previous games as the league tables were realistic, competitive and believable as the best teams actually placed well! which is vital! One thing that should also be available is when a manager becomes 5 star in reputation he should be able to attend any club that he desires as who wouldnt want the best coach in the world? not a very limited amount of clubs... also in both be a pro and manager mode i know it sounds a bit extravagent but maybe create an avenue where one can enjoy success? such as buying new gear for soccer, purchasing new strips and whatnot. even go that one step further and buying houses and cars. thats a bit extreme though ill admit. Thankyou! and please at least read these comments as i think it will benefit both of us in the longrun :)

1. Let us have more freedom with the uniforms for each game! Like it's in real life!
Every team should have at least:
HOME / AWAY color jersey
HOME / AWAY color shorts
HOME / AWAY color socks
And we should be able to combine these three parts of the uniforms before every single game according to what the opposite team's colors for the game are. Socks are a big part of the uniform as well when it comes to colors. Look at any major league, any prestigious tournament. Teams playing each other will never wear the same color socks, (sometimes maybe shorts), but the shirts and the socks are ALWAYS different color. (For example... I want to have the option to play with Manchester Utd wearing the home RED jersey in a combination with BLACK shorts and WHITE socks, as they always wear it against teams like Sevilla)

2. Let us edit the fonts on the jerseys, (so for example when there is a team promoted to the Premier League, they can get the standard EPL font just like the other teams), just like in real life. Some of your default fonts are so far from the originals. Give us the option to customize it, so it looks more real.

3. Let us edit haircuts of the players. Players change, some of your default hairstyles are so out of date that the major players don't even look like that anymore. (e.c. Higuain, Beckham, Torres, Maluda,,,)

All these major details can bring the game to a different level. If you can't keep up with all the player changes, the team changes, any updates around the world, of our favorite club or player, PLEASE LET US DO IT OURSELVES, just give us the option to do so.

1.You guys should really add a street mode for fun.
2.More creation ability like boots, stadiums, players, kits and pitch.
3.It would be spectacular to have more elaborate squad formations like letting us move the positions to a specific spot that you want.
4.The main thing would be to have more international teams and at least being able to download teams that aren't in the game.
P.S. make crowds more real.

1) should be able to customise more stuff e.g. the teams kit, the stadium, with the stadium you should be able to customise the look of it inside and outside- you should be able to graffiti the walls, and to get more money for new transfers you should be able to sell in game memorabilia e,g, signed shirts, boots and other thing- they should go up in price for how many goals there have scored that session and how good the team are doing that session.

I would like it if you could dive and if you over celebrate you get a yellow card and alsoin ultimate team you can like bet on a match say man u vs liverpool someone bets that liverpool win then they take all the coins

- better and more dangerous long free kicks that can be effectively whipped into the box
- better crowd and manager animations
- the ability to pick your own world 11
- better through balls
- teams like dnynamo kyiv and shatkar donetsk should be added

to have the blue square premier leauge and blue square south too and is okay to have all the polish players updated
thank you

diving is needed, if you want teh game to be realistic then ofcourse there should be diving.
create a ball, this would be awsome. you can choose the dip, curve, weight size and colour it.
defenders, these guys are under rated, in comparison to strikers over 85 and defenders over 85 it's a blow out to the attackers.
champions leage, make a champions leage that is in tornements so you don't have to go though a season of manager mode
African leages, I dont know the level of these leages but surley. also I might be wrong here but put in the Russian and Ukain leage. (if these leages are there sorry.)
team rating, just some tips. Holland and Uruguy should be 5. France is hard because they failed in the world cup but are regaining form so anywhere between 4/4 and a half.
New Zealand should be 3 stars. (not biast but we beat Serbia, drew with Paraguay, Italy and Slovakia. and lost in the last min to Aussie
if there is diving cards if the person is found out.
and finally, more international teams, where is.
Slovakia, Egipt, Ukraine, Costa Rica,Ireland, Ghana, Norway, and some more from Africa, Asia.
sorry for the miss spelling.

Hi, I think FIFA needs to hav a two player managerial mode where you can play wid your mates as managers of different clubs , like lma manager for example, n of course make the managerial mode more realistic I e the transfers , but it really needs to be a players option on that, cuz most of us play the game against r mates! Thanks, hope to see this in FIFA 12

I think there should be uniform changes. An option of picking a different part of shorts and socks not only shirts. Also, being able to change boots during the season. Also, individual awards like the ballon d'oro and champions league with the real theme song and commentary.

1. you should be able to play custom game online using any crated team, and be able to make your own stadium.

2. one reall really really thing i wanted was more international teams like, IRAN, IRAQ, etc. like comon please.

1. Create your own club from scratch, picking the kits, sponsors, stadium etc...

2. Nerf the goalkeepers, currently a high rated pro goalkeeper is too powerful with the auto dive and auto positioning help, perhaps removing the auto diving feature for online would be a smart move.

3. Improve defensive movement and heading on online clubs, I have a 5 star team and the defenders refuse to challenge properly for headers. This has resulted in teams constantly running down the wing and crossing the ball in, even to the point where they run wide to cross it if they are 1 on 1 with the keeper. It's probably a wider problem with the AI control of a defense, because when you have an ANY it's not as bad.

4. Get rid of the player ratings glitch, infact that should be done now with a patch, because it's ruining the online clubs gameplay. Most if not all of the top 10 clubs each season do this glitch and I won't repeat how to do it here, but it basically makes the game not count.

5. More team celebrations, like dances (the safety dance please) and bundles, so your hole team can pile on top of the goal scorer. Also celebrations that are only available if you score an amazing goal, or a last minute winner, where everyone goes crazy.

6. Better pitches, most of the pitches always look in bad shape, if I get a level 30+ stadium for my online club team I don't want the same pitch as a level 1 stadium gets.

7. Different types of teams for online clubs, so you can choose an AI team based on your style of play, rather than the current random system. For example you can pick a tall team, strong team, fast team, skilled team...etc

8. More importance placed on a players mental ability, players such as Rooney should lash out at decisions or players if they get frustrated. It would add a new dynamic to online clubs and manager mode if you had to protect certain players and maybe take them off early if it looks like they risk getting sent off.

9. Online Club history, so that all stats for players are saved even if they leave the club. Then they could have ranks like in Career Mode, and players can pick up where they left off if they rejoin a club.

10. More recognition for new signings scoring on their debut, currently there is no mention of it, when the reality of football is that if a new signing scores on their debut they are instantly a fan favourite, and that should be acknowledged.

i would like to run into the fans and take the shirt of and a possible booking for it, diving fighting and be a ref sounds good.
i would like to watch my friends play each other so maybe sit in a chair in the stadium and possible have a house for your pro and earn coins to buy better house/cars and drive to the stadium

New Features To be Added in Fifa 12:
1) If the manager mode could be more like FM? as in the youths should have different classes of potential and with those potential they will grow to become future stars.
2) A kit editor for sure! (if your playing 10 seasons with the same team surely u won't want to keep looking at the same jersey)
3) More colors to be added for Nike Boots? (it seems that there is always a wide selection for Adidas boots but not for Nike)
4) The youth team for most clubs would be good (would take a long long time to add into fifa but good to see it)

Well Im shocked, Ive been sending this same message to [email protected] and never get a response always some 24hr and question will be answered and never does, hopefully I get some what of a answer here.
----- Fifa my name is Edgar I play fifa all the time I love it but I really wish like the other ea sports games I wish Fifa had a fantasy draft like you can do in madden and nba. imagine choosing a club team in mexico or england you can draft any player that plays in that league and only in that league but you cant go over the salary cap
like in the other sports games. I really wish Fifa had this mode so
therefor I have pledged to send this same e-mail for the rest of my life
till I see it happen every day from now on you will get this same
e-mail. Ive send one every day and im sure youve been getting them for the past 2 weeks and plan to continue and maybe even create a group just to show you how serious I am

Loan system - Make it possible for clubs to recall the players, just like in real time situation.
Referee's - Real names for referees like Howard Webb.
Achievements - Add an achievement for winning the treble and quadruple. Invincible achievement for going through the entire season unbeaten.
Difficulty - Increase the difficulty level for World Class, present level is too easy........

in manager mode give us the ability to trade players or offer some team money plus players from my team to buy thier player like what barcelona did to get ibrahimovic from inter milan and give us the ability loan players for more than 1 year and in be a pro give us the ability to recieve offers to move the other teams and give us the ability to create a team like world XI wich means we get to put players in this team without removing them from their original teams

i wanna ask if you could make another game mode that features the life of a player on and off the pitch like NBA ballers or if that covers too much space make a whole new game entireley
this will bring guys that love the award winning sims and the ever amazing game play of fifa [be a pro ] together.my only hope now is you guys at least put this into consideration.

Hi EA, I’ve become a fan of fifa since fifa 09. When 10 came out it was awesome. Quick, lively and a joy to play but for some reason fifa 11 has gone on a whole new direction which for me hasn’t worked. The game’s been slowed down so much that it’s really taken the fun out of the game. Due to these factors I’ve traded fifa 11 in because I hate it and don’t enjoy it at all and I’ve reverted back to fifa 10 but after a while since you can’t do squad updates I’ve given up fifa all together mainly due to how slow and boring fifa 11 is. I really hope you guys sort this out and fifa 12 will be more like fifa 10. Fast, fun and enjoyable.

i love fifa 11 i think it is a very good game but there are two littles things to make it better and then 1 mode you could add in. i think that the players should be able to get booked for more things e.g. being able to take there top off when they do a celebration or get into a fight with someone. my other one is that you should be able to see the manager on the sideline.and then the other mode i 5thought you could add in the referee mode. i think that you should add this in or make it as a expansion pack. and i think loads of people would buy it and use it!

1. Club Creation - Make it possible to create your own club/strips/stadiums and enter it into the league of your choice.
2. Manager Mode - Have reserve sides and reserve leagues. Transfers to have a more realistic process.
3. More Stadiums for all leagues including the A-League.
4. More International Squads
5. More realistic crouds and benches.
6. Before the Game Atmosphere like a dressing room shoot before the start of the game.

I would like the Ukrainian league or at least Dynamo Kiev and Shaktar Donetsk. Also you should be able to play as the goalie.

The keeper should be less talented, if the ball is going between a keeper and his opposition, the keeper about 97% of the time wins the ball and the opposing player has no chance

SOMETIMES ITS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT, WHEN A GOAL IS SCORED HAVE 'GOAL' COME UP ON THE BIG SCREEN (IF THE STADIUM HAS ONE) FOLLOWED BY THE PLYERS NAME (AND MAYBE THERE PICTURE) ALSO WHEN IT COMES TO THE CROWD YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE PEOPLE WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS, GOING TO THERE SEATS ETC, THIS WAS DONE IN THE NBA 2K GAMES AND IS VERY EFFECTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO REALISM, I THINK DIVING IS A GOOD IDEA, IM 99% SURE YOU COULD DO THIS IN FIFA 97. I LIKE THE FACT IN FIFA 11 YOU CAN ADD MUSIC FOR WHEN THE PLAYERS COME OUT OF THE TUNNEL BUT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU COULD HAVE DIFFERENT MUSIC FOR DIFFERENT TORNAMENTS, 'MY SATURDAY SELF' FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE, 'CHAMPIONS LEAGUE THEME' FOR THE CHAMPIONS CUP ETC, MAYBE EVEN BE ABLE TO RENAME TORNAMENTS THAT ARENT LISCENCED.

People warming up on the touchline
Players and managers on the bench
Manager coming out of the dug out to change formations/players
At start of manager mode you have to apply for a job, instead of just getting it straight away to make the game harder
Interviews with players and manager before and after matches
Less leniant offsides
Linesmen and referee's make mistakes and questionable decisions
Fans in the stadium sitting in the right stands - like at old trafford fans on the left side corner
Academy at the team you are at
When simulating chose starting 11 before the game
Different types of commentators and not just Andy Gray and Martin Tyler
All correct stadiums
Referee's proper names like Mark Clatenburg

-More stadiums
-More details on stadiums(like security guards stay freeze for 90 minutes without moving around.Seats of Emirates(in real ) are closer than the game
-Crazy fans . Flags
-Stadiums are always full.Put some empty seats
-Greek League. Some teams from Cyprus
-also offside rule is too strict, make the Officials more human and less mashine by adding errors ie. wrong decisions, for offside, penalties,freekicks and when looking at the Replay let commentators analyse and say e.g ” That was offside, or that was a questionable decision “!! something like that !!
- Stamina is REALLY BAD. Players can play only 2 matches in manager mode. In England they play every two days and players are flying..! And when u get the ball stamina is empty and u can't make a counter attack...! Players when they take the ball there isn't any stamina for them .. The Run for counter attack !!

************* PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS **********************************

I want to see CONCACAF Champions league and a little more attention to MLS.

I find if u go 3-0 up in a game something takes over, turns ur team into a team of wasters and the opposition into Brazil or Barcelona. This will remain until the opposition score. This is not real. This is some sort of program kicking in to prevent u from thrashing ur opposition. A handicap system of some sort. INEXCUSABLE. Play a friend and beat him, in a replay he'll get all the luck and decisions. There is a technique to playing fifa that really has little to do with being a good footballer or having a good football brain. An excellent connection is as relevant as anything when trying to win an online game regardless of the the quality of each team. According to EA, professional footballers should be 4ft nothing to be any good, what a joke!!! ONLINE CLUBS ARE FULL OF THEM !!! Uncatchable with technique that leaves the big players wishing they too were midgets. And they call this the closest thing to the real thing ever.

Get rid of Ultimate team or make a separate game for it, stop providing formations and tactics that u always have to modify to perfect and stop interfering with individual players performance abilities. The last thing someone wants to do after just seeing his favorite team get beat on a Saturday afternoon is turn on his fifa to find his favorite team is likely to under-perform also in the game because of EAs meddling. Also those without the Live Season are forced to endure the the injured poor players' lack of form too without knowing the said player should be on the bench. Bring Fifa football games back to what they once were, enjoyable to play. The games of the last few years have been anything but!!!

All u numpties on here talkin well of this game either don't play it enough or play it on semi pro and professional and probably quit when ye are losing. THE GAME SUCKS!! Club is the most annoying part of the game cos the players on the rest of the team(computer controlled) are a waste of space. Its impossible to be the best at the game because of the inconsistencies. Uncontrollable mistakes lead to every goal u concede in the damn thing. Defenders are constantly making mistakes and for midfielders not to be able to pass the ball accurately so often, sometimes 3 f@kin yards is criminal. They slow the game down to almost a stop and make the players so bad in some instances that one would think the players are not even designed to play football. Complete and utter tripe. The more I play it the more I hate it

hey, i have read crazy ideas like 'refree mode'! but seriously, i will appreciate it if i can see the faces of the generated players before buying them. also, Nigeria has lots of players in europe so can i please get my team in International selection please! i like the transfer but can young players improve in basic attributes like strength, stamina, passing, shot power and please only Giggs, Paul and Van der Sa should be able to play forever unlike fifa 11 where everybody plays at old age *wink*wink*

Hi,i really think FIFA11 is brilliant, and i think to make it even more better in FIFA12 is:
1.If you can make the pitch bigger because everytime you get the ball you get closed down too quickly than in the real game.
2.Please improve the stadiums,in most stadiums on FIFA11 the stands are too far away from the goal. E.G. In reality,the stands in Anfield are right behind the goal that you can actually see when you're like on the edge on the penalty area but in FIFA11 they are all the way back and you can't even see them.
3.In every league,have all the real life stadiums or at least make half of all the teams in every league have their real stadium.OR make packs on Playstation store E.G Premier league stadiums for like £2.99.
4.Make the goals bigger or the goalkeeper less challenging so you can score better goals
5.Final thing...make the commentators more realisitic,like if you score in the 90th minute the commentators go mad and also have someone else as commentator,Clive and Andy are boring now,have someone like Jon Motson!!! Or Andy Townsend or Ally McCoist,anyone!! Or make it another pack on Playstation store to buy new commentators.

Please take my idead into consideration.
Please take these idead into

Hi Guys
I think that biggest thing that was missed, was the Iran Premier Pro League, Esteghlal which is one of Iran's football club, is most successful club in asia and also Zob Ahan was in final of afc champions league last year so Iran Football League should be in this game becasue we have 70 million people and Iran's Football Clubs are really strong and at the top in Asia.
Please Add Iran Football League To FIFA 12.
Thanks

Hey Guys.......

Got some things to add to the manager mode.
You Still press R3 to see info of the player, but then you should have a side to see the players former clubs, you know if he has been transfered to an other team. Allso, when you are in season 2020 or something, then there have been a lot of Uefa Champions Leagues (Or somethingelse on fifa) so it could be cool if you could see how many times a club had won the tournament, what year, and all that stuff.

Please DONT PUT THAT XBOX CONTROLLER ANYMORE.We are just fed up with this.without this problem i have to say that f11 is the best of all previous fifa game.

fifa 11 is a good game.But there should be uefa champions league.then this game will be the best football game.

1)first we want europa,champions league and all this
2)more shoes,and more edit kits
3)if a player wears (e.c)adidas f50 adizero,in every game his shoes can change,black 1game and the other chameleon f50
thats all,thanks

1. I would like to see players warming up on the sideline during a match

2. Fighting

3. manager cut scenes (like in fifa world cup 2010)

3. i want to see substitutes and coaches sitting in the digouts because they are always empty which looks unrealistic

4. the ability to edit the way players look because they change their styles e.g. in fifa 11 alex song (Arsenal) has black her whereas now he has Gold hair

5. add tattoos PLEASE!

6. custom/edit kits

7. have more tournaments ucl cup

8. more realistic fans

9. the ability to pull players t-shirts (but you could get booked for that)

10. more hair styles

11. when players are injured there should be a cutscene of them on a stretcher not just limping that's unrealistic.

12. players can injure any part of their body

13. in career mode you should be able to have press confrences

14. create a manager from the way he looks to the way he talks

15. choose what your player or manager says to press to have an impact on your fans etc

16. in career mode you should have scenes where your invited to events like soccer a.m, footballer of the year awards etc.

17. there should be a match of the day in the game

18. nasty tackles

19. bring back auto celebration when you hold l1 and r1 because in football they celebrate in groups aswell.

20. the way you play in career mode such as if you pass a lot or your greedy it will affect the team chemistry and the way the public look at the player.

21. the ability to receive phone calls not just email in career mode

22. have all types of commentators from american to african

23. ADD ASAMOAH GYAN'S DANCE!!!

There is a glitch where a "Champions Cup" (Champions League) match is coming up, and when you click play next match, it comes up with the error "You do not have a full squad.. please change your team or forfeit"

I think this is because of a red card on a player which we clearly can't see.. but what ever the reason it is very annoying and once i had to forfeit the final of the champions cup :(

would be much appreciated if this could be fixed

i think that in manager mode you need to fix the transfers because in fifa 11 you can offer casillas or messi huge wages but they say they are to loyal to the club and dont want to leave. one way you can fix this is that if you are asked buy a paper or interviewer what you think of a player then you can say you would love to have casillas or messi in your squad and they will be more tempted to come. also you need to add in trade players, like man city did with stephen ireland for james millner.

fifa 11, been a big let down this year in terms of EA not being prepared for the relase of the game.

pro clubs is a complete disaster! As when you become a 5 star team nothing changes. lets go back to the pro clubs on fifa 09 as you get to play with the original teams and have the ability to make substitutions.

keep the virtual pro players, but give us the option of having updated kit, as in real life players like to keep with the trend.

sort the offsides and foul's, some tackles in which you get the ball are rewarded in you conceding a freekick.

and finally............................

let there be an option to create a manager mode which is co-op in terms of having another online player join you in your career and play matches.

1)Virtual pro in ultimate team
2)Be able to upgrade players on online clubs if earning points
3)More realistic, lifting cups, fans more active, chants eg liverpool fc-you'll never walk alone or man united-ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY!.and give huge banners and make it more like the actual stadiums there's NO atmosphere in ANFIELD on the game!
4)more players on the cover not just rooney all the time
5)stadiums more realistic like crowd right by the pitch in the premier league
6)Names of the stadiums
7)managers on the touchline and arguing
And finally in ultimate team whats the point making an ultimate team if you cannot play with all the best players and the chemistry will be like 80% not 100%!

HOPE U LOOK AT ALL THE COMMENTS EVERYBODY'S MAKING THEY ARE GREAT IDEAS

I love fifa 11 and think there is not too much to be done to improve it. The first thing would be to the ability to save line ups in manager mode!!!!!!!!!! When you have multiple games a week and you have different line ups and is very tedious to change them constantly. The second thing would be to expand on the international options- maybe a world cup mode (online or offline.) In the general game play my only complaint is shooting- players will miss wide open nets or put the ball down the middle when the analog stick is aiming for the corner. Overall however fifa 11 was great!

Whoever designed Ultimate Team needs a new job!! An absolute mess. Change the layout and I'd say alot more people will play it. I gave up AGAIN after only a few games. Couldn't be bothered trying to familiarize myself with another puzzle

Just the fact there are so many people on here, the majority rubbishing the game, should be enough for EA to realize that the game needs radical change. I've played fifa since it came out in 94'. I would have thought in 17 years the game would be better than it is today. What seems to escape these idiots is the football experience after 17 years of making the game is terrible. We can talk about everything else thats good and bad about the game til we're blue in the face but the fact so much is NOT RIGHT when it comes to actually playing football is unbelievable. I play the game everyday. I'd go as far as saying its a bit of an everyday addiction for me. But there isn't a day goes by that I think the game is as good as it could be or should be. The reality is theres too much wrong with the game for 170+ people to write about. Fifa 11 makes Fifa 10 look like a good game!!

Please please please please!!! No more xbox mods for fifa on PC...The keyboard controls are a nightmare not even to mention next to non-existent. Please no more!!! I have been fifa since fifa06 and i regard fifa08 as the best fifa game yet...tho my friends call it fifa-cartoon. Fifa 11 is not as easy as fifa10...almost as tough and enjoyable as fifa08 where u can map ur own keys for the keyboard...ja, dats it for me...and oh, commentators...cant they at least learn the name of all the players in the game? Jeez, we in south africa buy and play the game too...duh! Fifa12 should have these improvements...please.

The shortlist window in the transfers menu is MESSED UP!
i.e. if you add a player to the shortlist, during transfer season, if you try to buy the player, your deal will ALWAYS FAIL for some reason, some programming fault, I think... And if you remove the player from the shortlist, you can sign the player at most by two or three tries.... please fix this!!

Also, it seems that fouls are given more near our goal which is very frustrating!!!!

And there is no way to play pretty football as it seems no one takes nice runs down the pitch and hence all we can do is give through balls, never play a short passing game like Barca.... :(

And when the transfers are shown after a match, the transition should be fast (rather optional), and those shown should be of concern to us, i.e. the manager of a big club should be shown only those transfers which would matter to him and not every single cheap player....

and please reintroduce the pre season match options!!!

!. Refs have real faces and make bad controversial decision
2. When they do make controversial decision you should be able to see manager’s reactions as well as player reactions
3. More hair style shirt style and so on
4. in career mode I think you should be able to unlock kits also when you go in manager mode I think you should pick a team as normal but when you complete a season you should be able to unlock a secrete season for a team of your choice like a live season from the 70 or 80 or 90 and so on it would be amazing to play with tony Adams seaman Ian Wright ect. So if you complete the 15 years in career mode then you get 15 different live seasons to choose from.
6. You should be able to see players go on to podiums and lift trophies in every competition.
7. More stadiums like Newcastle, man city, Leeds, palace and so on.
Please go for number 4 that would be amazing.

The player growth system needs to become more transparent.

Also, I shouldn't be forced to play a young talent who isn't ready to play regularly. For example, If I were playing manager mode with Arsenal, I would have to play Henri Lansbury around 15-20 times a season to make sure he doesn't lose any skill points. That or I'd have to loan him off to make sure he doesn't lose any skill points. With there being so many players on teams, even when I rotated as reasonably as I could, I still had several players lose skills points throughout my seasons.

This has led me to carry no more than 23 players as I feel that is all that I can manage without too many of them losing skill points. There needs to be some feature where your reserve players get some sort of training to keep them sharp and developing. In reality, the reserve squads have training and reserve games. In Fifa 11, it's as if they get absolutely no experience unless you play them.

Player auto-change can be frustrated at times on long lob passes. When defending I often find that I have changed to a player who is off the screen. Not being able to see what my player and the player he is defending is doing makes it quite difficult to adjust to whatever is happening. This is with the settings for auto-switch set at it's lowest.

The transfer scout is a nice touch as it is convenient. However, I would like to see scouts who scourer the globe for talent come back. Although, I would make serious changes to this. In Fifa 10 a scout found me a 90 LM who I was able to sign cheaply since he was scouted. Obviously, that needs to be addressed. Scouted talent should me young and in need of developing. A scouting report with the player would also be nice.

I would also bring back the Assistant Manager feature that was in FIFA 10. That was also very convenient as it helped you manage player rotation.

Also, I have done reasonably well with Derby County since I had them promoted. I have qualified for Europa two out of three years, the one missing being 8th on the table. However, I still get about the same amount from the board when it comes to Summer transfer window. I'd imagine that a team building successful campaigns would be able to give more than a measly $15 million for the years transfers.

Other than that, I think Tom has hit the nail on the head on many of his suggestions.
