i would like for people to be able to dive and have fights in the game, and have an option whether to have them or not in settings because not everyone likes diving and fighting so some people could have it on and some could have it off, and be able to be taken off on a stretcher if the player is really injured, and more variety of stadiums, about 100, it would also be good for the crowd to individually be doing something like waving flags or scarfs, and players can be booked for over celebrating or time wasting, and argue with the referee, if a decision you feel was wrong to be given , and get booked or get a telling off for it
when you score your teams goals you should be able to see video,s of your actual team score a goal and you should be able to download you club song on xbox live and should show you highlights of videos from your real team in live action and show be able to get more transfer budgets aswell cus most team dont get that much money to transfer players and should show you the deals when you make them as a video instead of news paper article would be more interesting
Fifa 11 er bra men du må ha med filming sånn at han får gult kort og slåsskamp !
fifa11 already has good gameplay..fifa12 should add a masterleague(with champions & europa) just like PES...if so FIFA will be the best
It would be nice to include teams from the middle east(lebanon, syria, eygpt, qatar, dubai, etc). Also when playing manger mode, when scouting it would be nice when you scout to get a specific countrys player. like you go on europe and click italy and it will only search in italy. But most of all middle eastern teams would be the best. thank you.
champions league and europe league and more teams and competitions in europe from serbia, bulgaria, ukraine, slovakia and greece
in fifa 12 i would like more personality +, like ronaldo socks he does not ware tape, he wares socks. and messi takes small touches not big

I would like to see a feature in fifa 12 where the player runs the risk of being booked by the ref for contesting decisions made by the officials, such as appealing penalties harsh bookings for silly tackles and none punishment for big hard fouls that get over looked that would add more realism to the game being able to interact with the referee.

Also to be able to see the reactions at goals or sendings off by the dugout staff managers trainers subs, seeing their reactions and celebrations would also be good to add to fifa 12.

1. could introduce false offside calls, ones that are just too close to call.
2. Have Chapions league, World cup and Euro's pre-set up on the tournaments starter
legend mode for psp and ps3
Have it so when you want to play a random game it chooses a random selection of players aswell. Makes thing fun as there becomes a larger range of overall in one team. Also able to make money and player transfers. Make your own teams with a set amount of mony to buy players an have to buy your own stadium with room to improve it, which I think will make people understand more of what happens In real life
Karniel shuster
I think FIFA is a great game but I think they should add an option of training players and more videos (like in third person shooter) during manager mode for example a video of a new player sighing at a club or a video of the team celebrating outside of the stadium. also I think there should be an option of during manager mode expand the stadium by yourself like in the “FIFA manager” for the PC. I would appreciate a lot if this idea would come to life. also I think FIFA 12 should have other leagues such as the Israeli league or places like that Israel competes in all European tournaments but there is know Israeli league in FIFA and I think for smaller teams that made a big success such as moving up a league or down the budget and the sponsors should change this is more realistic board and manger mode.
it would be good to add managers and subs on the sideline, maybe show subs warming up before they come on, or just throughout them game
when there is a bad tackle which is going to get a red card, show players pushing and the whole team getting involved, like what happens every week
have diving
have soundtracks as the teams come out, the real ones they play at stadiums
when you score a late goal in a cup semi-final or final to win you the game, have more exaggerated celebrations
create teams on the actual game not online, and kit editing
just make it more realistic!!
please create / insert greatest clubs from the past , legend teams of man utd, milan, juventus, real madrid, barcelona etc. great teams that won the champions league.

please use actual stadium names / appearances NOT generic ones!

please create a uefa champions league game for the PS3

thanks,
mauro

I think arguments between players should be included if your challenged badly you shud be able to show your frustration to that player or the ref for example the option to walk away n play on or show emotion to the player who tackled you or show emotion to the ref this can be included with what i said about challenging the ref. pro clubs is a great thing (apart from default players) but i feel really restricted to what i can do. create your own stadiums strips badges formations crowd chants. i can have a season in career mode and score 20 goals by january and no interest will be made to me by another club. i think players coming in and going out shud be added i played for real madrid one season and hated it due to the dont play the style of football i enjoy so i had to skip the whole season and this didnt improve my players season to key player or captain you shud have the option to put in transfer requests and teams trying to buy you. the simulation of season mode is overly annoying the should have wee videos during the loading to the next game for example show the teams of the week maybe goals of the week or daft stuff like interaction with your manager fans and team mates just so im not watching mon tue wed thur fri and sun getting crossed off on a calender it makes me too bored and i evuntally cant be bothered with it. i enjoyed the targets the old fifa had from managers even tho sometimes the were a bit unrealistic like score 4 goals against chelsea maybe bring them back and make them a bit more realistic. this can improve your player and unlock attributes and other stuff. but finally a big big big ask is to make involve the fans more make it more realistic chants booing increase and decrease of attendences when performing good or bad. the fans make the tension in games make you excited and give great adrenilin in games. thanks fifa for the games so far i will continue to play argubaly one of the best games on a computer console keep up the good work.
Great game already but two major problems are

1. People who are crap at the game can win easily by just going out to the wing and crossing in all the time and the headers go in a lot easier on this one. It saves the player having to try and penetrate on the wing and just avoid playing the game and scoring goals with little skill.

2. The long shot seems to have been taken out. In 10 it was exicting to use long shot occasionally to score goals and was well balanced. Now I rarely use due to the infrequency of it going in so i just had to rely on getting very near the goal and shooting. The game bascially got a bit more boring than the last.

Still the best game out there regardless!!!!!!

Firstly everyone that has this idea of introducing diving and fighting shouldnt be playing fifa ! yes it has become a part of our game but thats what we want cut out. its a beautiful game thanks to teams like barcelona and arsenal not players who cheat the game. I would want to see the fans looked at more make it more realistic if your teams playing bad allow booing maybe show attendinces increase and decrease depending on how your team is doing. Also please please please fix the default players in pro clubs were not asking for messi's or xavi's but maybe as your team deveops maybe you can unlock better players ( for example if my team became a one star team it should allow you to unlock slightly better player just like the stadiums ) the referees should make mistakes sometimes the refs are too strict and dont let the game flow for a tangle between players. hand ball should always be on. maybe you can challenge the refs if you are the captain like if the ref makes a mistake you as a captain should have 3 challenges per game which wud add to tension and build up ! also when i play pro ranked matches i can sit and wait for the full 1 minute 30 seconds and loose my connection or when the match eventually starts i dont even get the position i want to play in its annoying and frustrating ! you shud make it instead of just picking a team to play for it shud have the positions already in the lobby this would stop build up of 5 strikers fighting for 2 positions and 3 cam fighting for a midfield place it would let people go into a lobby and see the position is taken straight away so they can leave and join another lobby.
Please bring the option of playing with teams developed in career to be used in exhibtion matches...
Diving
Fighting
Fix Offsides

For fifa 12 you should make a mini game:5 v 5 and have it for online and make a street style field and a professorial looking field. Your fifa you can do it (:
please,Fifa11 was a great game but it lacked like many other editions champions league opportunities on career mode.more of players resemblance should be gotten and managers emotions should be made clearer.
i would like to see DIVING in the game. and a bigger contract in pro mode instead of 1 year but still recive offers from other clubs
IN fifa 12 you should bring back international matches for you virtual pro in player mode.
Fifa 11 is a great game, endless fun. No major faults with it although the one thing I would like to see is some offside decisions made wrong like in real life. For instance an offside decison given that really the player was just onside or vice versa. The decisions given are always spot on which in reality contreversial decisions are given in almost every game. This would add an element of frustration, debate and fun.
You could include be a goalkeeper in pc and u can show manager's faces and fight between players.
PUT THE NASL AND PRVA HNL LEAGUES IN FIFA, PLEASE.
kote nachkebia
I would like to see a Georgian teams and competition, asian competitions and more teams and competitions please..
I would like to make my own stadium to play in or modify a stadium that already exist.
I would also like that boots could update if they come new version of boots and the club kits too if the change
- Advanced training mode, with users able to select formations, squads, etc.
- Warming up with the entire team before a game begins.
- Ability to call players from "B" teams when available (i.e. Barcelona B)
- More international teams (like on 2010 Fifa World Cup)
- Different narrators in different languages, please add Jorge Ramos and/or Fernando Palomo from ESPN.
- Difficulty in legendary mode should be wisely distributed, right now, difficulty resides on making your top players be tired all the time so you cannot use them for your next game, your in-game opponent (even the worst team) can easily score goals and its players can perform the most difficult skill moves.
- There are some issues with referees and fouls, I still come across some fouls that I commit and are given in my favor.

That's all I can think for now.
I think you should give the option to be the ref as if your playin winner stays on with ya mates it would involve one more and be more of a laugh to

Another good thing would be the addition of quick throw ins the quick free kick was a good addition think this would be another good one

When your playing in career mode your stadium should grow with success u get on the pitch

As well as your first team squad have a youth team too so u can bring youngsters through into your first team

Players get a bit more aggressive with each other if two players with high scores in aggression meet in a meaty challenge it would be good to have a bit of squaring up or pushing and shoving with the crowd reacting too it also

Better commentry !! Get a few different people and mix it up so we don't hear the same people over and over keep Martin Tyler but mix up his co commentator that would be a bit more realistic

Have sum mistakes by linesmen with the offsides and when a mistake is made show a replay of it so you can laugh in your mates face as you benefit from it this would also add a bit of realism too as mistakes by officials are a massive part if the game
I have enjoyed fifa 11 as much as the next football fan, you always need to upgrade the gameplay however to keep people buying the product, and for me these few things are a must and wouldnt take long to program into the game.

firstly. the spanish league. The way this league is decided if two or more teams are on the same amount of points is not by goal difference, its by WHO WON OR GOT MORE POINTS IN THE GAMES BETWEEN THE TEAMS. this annoyed me as i completed a season on level points and beat the "champions" both times i played but lost out on the title as it went by other league rules, so by the SPANISH LEAGUE FIFA 11 and prior FIFA'S ARE WRONG.

second. THE OFFSIDE RULE. a previous fifa game back in the 90's had an option to have the referee as nomal, strict or blind. the offside rule in the last few fifa's have been to the t. even if you were just the slightest bit offside you are flagged off. BRING AN OPTION FOR DIFFERENCES OF THE LINESMAN RULE. its fustrating the only option you have is to turn the offside rule off or on and thats it. still to do with offside, YOU CANNOT BE OFFSIDE IN YOUR OWN HALF OR FROM A THROW IN, yet in fifa again this does not apply. FIX THE OFFSIDE EA.

third. PASSING AND SELECTING PLAYERS. this has been a problem in every fifa game, but here is a simple solution, automatic selection from one player to another in defensive mode, select the player ahead of the ball and not zonal near the ball where you have to run while your closer defender is just running alongside the opposing player. and passing, you can control where the ball goes when you shoot yet when you pass sometimes it goes to the most rediculous player even if you direct it to the most forward player. also when you PASS THE BALL TO A PLAYER, HE STOPS AND ANTICIPATES IT. unless you plat a long or through ball he wont run onto it. he stops.

fourth. many people are saying DIVING SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK, i agree, the amount of players that dive in the game is incredible, and other rival football games have this feature. it should be back.

fifth. in season mode as manager you should be able to buy FREE AGENTS outside of the transfer window. IT WAS IN FIFA 10. bring it back, that annoyed me it was taken out. and get rid of the calender, waiting for other games to be simmed takes too long sometimes and ruins gameplay.

sixth. for player mode, you should include a mini training system to help improve your player. AND HAVE A SAY IN WHAT CLUBS YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY FOR IN career mode, not just these clubs are interested. HAVE AN AGENT IN IT AND HAVE AN OPTION FOR CLUBS YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY FOR IN FUTURE SEASONS. also you should bring back upgrading facilities as in FIFA 10.

seventh . PROFESSIONAL FOWL. i know it is in the game slightly but an improved version should be applied. something LIKE HOLDING ONTO PLAYERS OR USING AN ARM TO DRAG THE PLAYER BACK.

eight and last. BRING BACK INDOOR FOOTBALL. it was a great option in FIFA97. now thats a long time ago. bring it back EA.

I have enjoyed fifa throughout the years and the differences between 10 and 11 were mostly improvements apart from what i have stated. i am looking forward to FIFA 12 but if these few little tweaks are not included, ( dont mind about the indoor football, thats just being greedy) then this new fifa wont be up to scratch with other rival games, and i want fifa to be tops! thanks for reading and i hope you take into consideration about these must need improvements.
Would like more realistic chanting i.e. when team losing badly the crowd could sing "youre gettign sacked in the morning"

A good idea the toss up and be able to choose the which direction to shoot first.

watching the teams coming out the tunnel.
more formation options

to make a club for league and international club
You should add more international teams like El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Chile, etc.
fifa11 is sick on dsi creat your own pro is the best manchester united rock in fifa12 please can put a place were you dawnload any music you whant when your playing please make the price £24 or im not buying it thats my commet yours sinncirley.
1. fifa 12 manager mode needs to have better interaction with the player, for example when you sign for a club you get the same message via a front page newspaper with a random picture saying how inexperienced the new manager is and how the fans a sceptical of the appointment. (possible ideas to change this would be: to do away with the newspaper format and have like mock type skysports news real with ticker tape at the bottom with the news that joe bloggs has been appointed as manager of real madrid then other ticker tape news follows on from that on a cycle)

2. signing of contracts should be more in depth a bit like the layout in fifa manager with actual player photo papercliped to the contract and a blank space where the player has to sign and when confirmed by the controller then gets filled in. signed and delivered!

3.animations with the crowd, cut scenes between play perhaps of a miffed manager rubbing his face in anger or giving hand signals rafa benitez style on the touch line.

4. real celebrations not head spins more player interaction on celebrations piggy backs, rio ferdinand style, shouting or kissing at the or towards the camera
first of all: the man from fifa 12 :eliminate one or two buttons for pc cuz the pc aint a xbox or a ps3,2nd the graphics should be more real .
thehostnation
FIFA 12 needs a better replay system like in Skate 3. in fifa 11, you couldn't edit the replay after you saved it, which is dumb. you should also have the ability to dive, the boots should be better quality, fix the gameface thing (it doesn't really work that well, my gameface looks like someone took a shotgun to it), more realistic crowds, managers on the sideline, bring back the legends, make minigames (crossbar challenge, pk shootout, 1v1's, etc), ability to argue with the ref. also all the refs, whether they're lenient or strict, they are all sticklers about offsides. let them make mistakes sometimes to mix it up a bit. also, GET MORE COMMENTATORS i get so tired of listening to the same 2 dudes sayin the same thing. make fifa 12 great!
vanraj odedra
in carreer mode the simulating is really takes toooooo long! it bores me, and puts me off from playing career mode.. i am a complete ex disciple of pro evo until they turned rather sh ! t.. please improve the simulation process when u advance in career mode.. and maybe get the liscenes to uefa champions leage?? :D:D:D:D:D that would make it brillianntt!!!!!! a reall real life experiance!! :D:D:
you should be able to make your own celebrations for any player.
you should be able to dive by pressing a certain button only ofline.
you should be able to start a fight after a bad tackle ect.
you should be able to get booked for taking shirt off.
the crowd should sing and taunt more
the crowd should have the teams shirts/scarfs/flags
manager mode has to get the scouting back!!!! in fifa 11 u cant grow youngsters or search for quality, u always have to buy,its unrealistic. thx
you should make as many stadiums as you can including championship/lower leauges e.g The Amex(Brighton&Hove albion). You should also be able to create your own stadium. you could give that stadium to any team or have it as the free play arena stadium. You should be ableto create more than one, you should be able to choose the height, the lenght and width of the pitch(from smallest to biggest pitch,) were the seats go(design of the stadium,) if it has any arches, if it is all one or in different sections. you should be able to choose how much money you get to build the stadium or unlimited money
My english is'nt very good, but I will try to make my self clear.

I think fifa needs to improve carriere mode. The transfer system in fifa 11 is'nt realistic. There has never been a offer on a player on my team who is doing it good. For instance, If you play Ajax. You have Suarez and he is scoring many times. Not on team makes a offer for him. In real football he gets al lot of offers and he can choose between clubs. So if one of your players is doing it good, there needs to be more interest in him. Also the sell system. If someone makes a offer on one of your players you just can accept it without knowing what your player want. He needs to have a own vision of what he wants. I think the transfer systeem needs improve much. If I could explain it to someone in dutch, it would be easiyer for me to make my vision about fifa because I have many idea's to improve fifa.
When in the career mode when you play in the Fa cup and league cup it should e drawen like in real life out of the bag
Have pitch invasions at the end of important games, and pitch fights at local derby games.
Couple of different things,

more official stadiums, ESPECIALLY PREMIER LEAGUE, SPL AND CHAMPIONSHIP

more crowd interaction

have kit changes for European games such as the kit style for man united in past seasons

More interactive manager mode (press conferences, player negotiations, fa appeals)

Bring back the 2 mins per half

Be able to create clubs on game instead of having to go online

Bring back the simulated celebrations so that can have choice between a simulated celebration and a free rolling one.

Have proper commentary for the play-offs as these are no normal matches especially once it gets to Wembley
you should bring out an update for the january transfer window transfers
1) Simple patch for online and ingame play...if opponent keeps tackling...the ref level moves up to strict. Too many poor players online who don't play footie properly!

2) Proper 'punishment' for quitting early like Fifa World Cup.

3) Diving option
hello i think you should put the conference leagues on and make their stadums relistic and also you should put more real stadums on e.g st marys also on manager mode when you get a team from npower to premier league they still have npower on their shirt so you should update that.
Great game but would like to see the following:

Diving
Being able to put your hand up and appeal for offsides
Some element of fighting

:)
1. Negative- Some stadiums are not resgistered with EA or so general stadiums are created

1. Positive- Allow customization of default/gneral stadiums

2. Negative- Fighting and Diving won't be allowed by FIFA because of fairplay rules and such

2. Alow rare simulated scenarios

3. Commentary is set due to contracts or specific region sales, Allow add on packs of common American broadcast teams
1.I Think crowds should be more region specific, since there are only a few registered statdiums, the crowds can add a bit more realism

2. Even more so, editing the stadiums or creating custom stadiums can make it more real
