I would like to see a better defence to the game because sometimes i find it easy to go past a defender when i am using players like lennon.I would like 2 see at least 1 african league in fifa 12.i would like the opportunity of playing with the reserve teams,play in the youth cup and being promoted to the 1st team on be a pro.i would like to hear alot more different funny things from the commentator and not the same thing from other fifa's.i would like to be able to coach a club and when a country wants me i could be able to sign a contract with the country and lead them to world cup glory.the accecories when creating a player should be better for example,add tatoos different hairstyles like mohawks and better boots.being able 2 participate in a real training in mananger mode and having to choose drills that you want your players to do.taking off of shirts as a celebration and getting a yellow card.there should be celebrations 4 certain players like robinho nani and his crazy backflips anelka cahil i would like to see their celebrations.the papers should me more like the ones on 2010 fifa world cup.THANK YOU
i hink u should have womens league and a bit of fighting for bad tackles
1- Commentary Box, should hv more people...that would b xciting.
2-Improve Crowd Graphics n their doings(Celebrations,clap hands when subsitute and whoes when missed a chance etc.)
3-Introduce a new game play next to knockout,league etc tournament where winner stay on da control...
4-Improve the Through Pass plz(On 07 was perfect),its terrible On PS2.
Other stuff is mentioned by other people
play FIFA Anthem before kick off.
- More interactive celebrations.(Going over to fans, Running to Manager etc...)
- Diving.
- More Interactive Manger Mode.(Press Conferences, Speak to players about perfomances, Appealing Suspensions etc...)
- Cut Scenes with Manager and Fans.
Fifa 11 was again a huge improvement on fifa 10 lets make this one even better!
- Manager emotions good and bad like in the fifa world cup 2010
- Crowd needs better graphics and wearing official team jerseys
- Being able to buy players in the transfer window and sending them on loan straight away if needed. Choosing a specific amount of time to have a player on loan for example 1-2 months and 1-2 years with the option to buy at the end of the contract.
-Players stats increase quicker with good average performances
Can't think of any more
Cheers
it would be class if u could do press confrences and players talk 2 u and ask 2 leave nd international games during manager mode nd if players r playin well they get a call up also serious injuries
1) Friends League - get too see highlights of your friends matches
2) Handballs on in an online match [around the world + your friends]
3) More internationals; eg. Ghana, Ivory Coast,
4) More celebrations in friends league and all over
5) Highlights of your friends matches on custom matches
- Better celebration (shirt off) yellow card
- Diving
- European football in manager mode
- live season free
- be a referee better experience
- be a pro player be able to walk in changing room, get confronted by manager to play better
- wingers must be faster and better skilled set pieces
- “Fifa School” where players can tune thier skills with dribbling passing shooting
- Skill full training - passing, shooting
-
More diverse commentary, maybe develop different game mode such as "Fifa School" where players can tune thier skills with dribbling passing shooting...etc to earn points for rewards??? being able to have more input into player development especailly in manager mode through the youth academys and scouting.. being able to make significant changes to the club such as stadium...kit...and having the option to run it more buisness like controlling things like how many ground staff... is there good security cause if something went wrong it would look bad on the club...have next day newspaper reoprts on the other clubs games as well as your own..have maybe some sort of lineker shearer match of the day style intro to games..and at half time analyzing the highlights...theres so much you could do to tweak but the baisc gameplay should remain consistent it works.
should be able to manage more than one team at a time in manager mode
they should make for manger mode is that you can start of as a child and grow up in stages like you can do interviews with the press and that you can do that ONLINE.

AND also for online they should have tournements where u dont have to go on the internet to register just do it all on your Xbox
1. the refs give way too many fouls, a little contact and it's either an advantage or an instant freekick, even choosing the ref doesn't.
2.more accessories, i.e boots, headbands, skins etc.
3. traits for your virtual pro should be slightly easier to get
4. i find it ridiculous that players like lennon, walcott etc. somehow managed to get tracked back by the likes of terry, and other slowish CB's
5. things like diving, fighting, and other parts of the game should be introduced, and can be decided whther to be turned on or off during gameplay
6. celebrations should be more varied, too many times have i seen the somersault over and over again!
7. the crowd should taunt, sing, and react to the game nd players more
8. more stadiums
9. the best teams should be suited to how they play in real life during gameplay. e.g arsenal play a free flowing passing game, whilst AC Milan have a more rugged style.
10. in career mode, you should be able to make your own valutaion of players that you sell, plus buying players is very difficult and you have to pay a lot more than you sell.
11.U18 games and reserve games should be an option in career mode, so you can develop stars at a young age

get back to the job guys FIFA PC is on your mind now PC is the future every video game, PC has no limitation, build FIFA with huge athmosphere, huge animation, huge crowd, huge cutscene, huge gameplay, nothing can defeat "Hard Disk Drive" = low graphic & processor consumption but huge in everything and that will shake the bench in the stadium with my will i allow you FIFA Creator to use PC Space in our HDD to create more in FIFA not only the graphic but the space in HDD to create everything huge on PC. all our wants in FIFA PC is the more we have missed from FIFA console that the feature doesn't exist on PC and that we missed the PC has missed the ship to sail in FIFA Journey, the PC must get the same that everything in console are same on PC

Hi

I love fifa 11 and i think that the world cup willie 1v1v1v1v1v1 or doubles 2v2v2v2v2v2 i thinks its a good idea..
also i think that the crowd should be made better as all they do is stand up dance and sit down...

another is when there is a live game on the TV.. say man u vs chelsea it would be a good idea if it showed the game live like in the game on fifa. did you do that for the world cup final??

you can tell i love fifa....

another is i think you should be able to make your own kits.. not to advance just basic things like.. the brand/make, stripes, hoops, a solid color things like that..

Thanks for you time i hope i can make a point in fifa 12 :)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i think with skills, if a 5* skill player is having a bad game then they should start making a few mistakes, in real life when top players are playing poorly you see they're only human and start making miakes such as stepping on the ball, knocking it too far ahead, and completely messing their skills up
you should be able to create you own kit and design your own stadium
Fifa 11 is the best of the series so far, only a few things have annoyed me since the Manager mode began.

1. When you play a 2 leg match like a champs league or other competiton you can never see what the aggrogate score is, it only displays the current score. Is it so hard to have the Aggrogate score displayed near the match score?. (this goes back to Fifa 08 btw)
2. When you play career mode as a player, your club(comp) never buys any players or improves squads, i want teams like Man U, barca not to stop buying players just because im in the team. I really do not understand why this system is like this.

Im pretty sure every soccer player has played a form of world cup. Playing 1v1v1v1v1 with a goalie and eliminating a player each round who hasnt scored until you have a winner. This would be great for the virtual pro. The game mode could be called street ball and not just 1v1s but 2v2s and 3v3s someone could be the single goalie or with the 2v2s and 3v3s there can be two goalies. I think a good way to start this game mode when selecting it would be to "spawn" in an area and have it free roam where you can run onto a field but not a field with max amount of players. This would set up viewers for championships and great goals would be scored due to the limited amount of players and the needing of skill moves. If you decided to press start a row of options could be :1. Resume 2. Stats (goals, assists, playtime. And this could be for the 1v1s and 2v2s and 3v3s) 3. Options (regular options like camera mode etc.) 4. Find a field (for times where the fields around the "spawn" area are too crowded) 5. Main menu
THE VIRTUAL PRO WAS A GOOD IDEA BUT NOT TAKEN FAR ENOUGH!
This would be a very cool game mode and hope something is done like this in at least the next 3 games
The defence sucks. If you arent controlling the player on a 1 on 1 its so easy to get past then have your opponent cross or dribble in. Also the second player help button (B), the player is so stupid he goes for the body not the ball. On headers for offense if the player is alone it should be about a 1/100 chance that he DOES miss the goal completly. Even if you were to chest it its like the player cant trap the ball for crap and puts he ball right into the goalies hands. Fifa 09 had the worst defending i have ever seen and 2 games later it hasnt improved that much. EA studios is getting lazy and only wants to work on offence. Get someone who actually knows how to play defence and let them make he game because EA is incapable of doing so
I Think you Should Be Able To Custimize Your Virtual Player More , like Change his freekick stance, if he's a diver or not, arcobatic , ... Fifa 12 should have better gameplay for volleys give them a better chance, because you dont see much volleys.. Fix the lag in pro clubs :D
I think that there should be more stadiums, for instance FC Dallas doesn't show their wonderful Pizza Hut Park stadium along with a lot of other teams that do not have their stadium on Fifa 11. I hope this can improve in Fifa 12. I also think that you should be able to create your own kits.
improve manager mode!! takeover bids for clubs, player form, realistic transfers, be a referee would be cool... better graphics and gameplay
Be able to create a new strip after each season, gets boring with the same kit each season.

More countries available, african countries etc.

Put the blue square premier league in.

Stop ripping me off with the ultimate team "gold packs" the best player ive had so far is Steven Sidwell.

Most importantly, it is far too easy to score open goals especially on ultimate team where you get 1 on 1 and pull it back for your team mate to slot into an open net, ruins the game.

Get kaka off the front and put Darren Bent on.
i think
1)pro online clubs you should be able to create your kit an badge
2)every game you play on fifa you earn coins then when you play online pro clubs you can purchase players like ronaldo for 300k so if u want him in ur team u and ur mates all chip in for him and it also makes it more fun
3)manager cut scenes
4)more realistic linesmen not so strict becuase some calls are stupid like 1mm off an they flag wen a normal lino wouldnt call 10inches offside
Fifa 12 IDEAS
1. (ONLINE) You should fix all the time spend getting online, with the delays and bugs. So you dont have to go back to main meny and try again! It happens way to often.
2. (THE REF) on fifa 11 is an idiot. He can only give 1 player a yellow card per time. And this is a bug. My friend uses this bug clearly, when he knows he is gonna get a yellow card but the play continues, he keep making ugly tackles and only resivces 1 YELLOW FREAKING CARD. CLEARY A BUG! If 3 players have made a ugly enough tackle the ref should give away 3 yellow cards.
3. (THE SKILL MOVES) on fifa 11 i love BUT the game would be much better if you could get "points" for the skill moves you do. Hjerpseth a norwegian player gave me this Idea because of his youtube video. Very nice idea. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/1zuwyC5zh-o
4. MUSIC: It should be more updates on the music on fifa. I know people are sick of the same music going over and over again.
I serously hope FIFA 12 fixes this. It would make it so much better:)
I am from Hong Kong
I just play the manager mode only.
In Fifa 11 very hard to sell the "KEY" player within a team, so how come Fifa 12 can let us use that "KEY" play plus CASH to buy a player in other team?

Hope FIFA will always be the leader in soccer game!!
make a 5 on 5 game mode where you can play in an indoor arena
I Think they should definetly add the egyptian league and Egypt International squad i mean they are the best team in africa won the african cup of nations 6 times and el ahly is like the best team in africa for years, why isit fair for south africa and cameroon to be there and not Egypt, i mean so many great upcoming players so they deserve to be there thats what i think not the iranian league
Please get more stadiums and player likenesses,how can you not have Suarez,Gyan,Muller,Khedira after the World Cup? At least make top Internationals real,Llorente,Sergio Busquets,Capdevilla,Pedro and Mata from Spain all look like waxworks? I'd love to see some changes here,new younger players too Hamsik, Lukaku & Neymar are both great on Fifa 11. Maybe it's just me,but that would help make your next game alot better. Playing as my Virtual Pro is great,I play as a player manager..some player manager job offers would be welcome too
Fifa 11 is amazing but in Fifa 12 there needs to be some change like:
1) In transfers if a player doesn't want to join you than make a better reason on why he doesn't want to join you cause I always get "the player is not willing to relocate"
2) Introduce the champions league, Europa league and the world cup
3) Add some more national teams like Ivory Coast, Wales etc
4) Have some more named stadiums like White Hart Lane, City of Manchester Stadium etc
5) Being able to choose when to reschedule a game cause one time, three games were reschedule and I was playing 4 games in one week
6) Go back to Fifa 10 when if a player got injured the machine told you what the injury was
I think FIFA 11 is great, it really is fun to play and I'm like addicted to it! There are however a few things that need a change, for example, there needs to be more stadiums, more football boots, the weather choices should have a windy option, and more player faces, but apart from these setbacks, its a great game! But by the way, at half time on the playstation 3, the Arsenal stadium is a bit revealing of how you make them
i would like to be able to create your own team including creating your teams kit and also i think there should be more stadiums and more boots instead of having 1make of boot and 1 colour there should be 1 make of boot and a selection of colours.
make it so that in career mode you can get ejected( i got two yellow cards one time and it kept me in.) . be nice if the cameramen, security etc. could move not just stand there. Not sure if there is a world cup in career mode but if not make one. champions league would be cool. better replays. in career mode, if your player is injured, make him get up faster than a full minute or just stop play. fights would be cool.
if you agree with my ideas please state them aswell so that fifa know that it is something the majority wants.

In manager mode before a match when u are able to train with a player, make this player wear the club training tracksuit to make it realistic. Also when u sub a player off make the camera follow that player and watch him put on a tracksuit or coat and sit down on the bench. When the ball goes off during a match let the camera go to the bench and talk about the players that are on it.
Make the bench look more realistic and make some of the playerss on the bench warm up whilst the match is going on.
When a player is being subbed on make the coach show him the tatics on a clipboard.
Let the manager become fustrated or happy during a match like in fifa world cup.
Customize Boots and or if that is not possible make a bigger selection of the boots with different colours of the same boot and all the new boots.
Kit customization after a season on manager mode and stadium upgrades and staff upgrades.
In manager mode make us be able to negotiate contracts with the player we have made and change his kit number.
Also in manager mode before we face a team there is a scout report. Make this scout report also highlight their best player.
When we customize our created player give us the option of earings and proffesional players hair styles
Please Include some of these ideas in fifa 12 if possible
All this in Manager Mode
Boot Customization
Training Sessions
Youth Acadamey where u can see the youth team and choose which ones u want to bring into the first team
Scouts
Reserve Team
Fan Mail
Changing Room and Tunnel Views
At half time make the camera follow the players into the changing room
and make it more realistic for example: after a big gane make the players take off their shirt and or swap their shirts with the opposition

Uefa Champions League on the first season
The manager mode is the main reason i play the game but ithas a few bugs in it! Firstly, why after i've won everything with my club (newcastle) are the only clubs who want to sign me as manager are west ham, wolves etc. Where are Barcelona? Real? Man Utd? (seems to be mainly english clubs, very hard to get a foreign club to become interested in you)
Also, i think the addition of a youth team so you can progress players would be fantastic. But the player progression also needs adjusting, such as if i have a player on the bench for a while he starts to decrease in overall skill quite quickly, but if he's in the team and playing well he won't improve as quickly!
Why can't players progress in a training mode such as on other games...set your training regime up and watch your player grow until ready for the 1st team?
The transfer system (although improved) could still be better, such as why if i have the top scorer in the league for several seasons running, no one would try and sign him? why do other clubs only try and sign players on the transfer list? surely players playing well would attract attention?
Also, seems very odd that players carry on playing to very old age! for example, Steven Gerrard is 39 and still playing on my current game and has the same stamina and skill level! Surely if Stevie G was still playing at 39 he'd be a bit part player or drop down a level or two!
Another annoyance is when i've progressed a club from the lower divisions into a premier league winning side and at the end of the season i'm still only given a transfer kitty of £250,000 and a wages budget of £3,000. Try signing Messi with that!!
Also on the same note, could there be a stadium upgrade option? if you progress up the leagues and become successful your stadium should reflect your success?

P.S.
something i forgot fro my earlier comment regarding the manager mode:
Could you introduce international management? So if your doing well with a club a country could try and sign you. You could then select your national squads, play friendlies, go trough the qualifying rounds and on to tournaments?
i know this is option during the tournament mode but you could then leave your national job and go back to club football.

There are many things I like about FIFA 11, the best being its real life football...But there is still scope for improvement.
*The manager mode should be made more interactive, like it used to be in FIFA 08 and should not only be limited to only playing games. It gets boring at times.
*Cash+Player deals should be introduced.
*Russian, Ukrainian Leagues should be introduced, atleast the more famous teams like Shakthar and CSKA Moscow.
*While playing in the "Be a Pro Seasons", the option of changing from controlling changing the virtual pro to controlling the whole team should be present in-game.

i actually really like fifa 11.. just a bit of changes i guess..
1. have a choice of manager mode.. such as the one in fifa 09 where you can get you own players attrbuttes up, and fifa 10 where it depends on form or just like fifa 11.. three options in career mode.

2. players get tired too easily.. after one game there stamina goes to yellow and that doesnt happen in real life.. players usually play a whole season sitting out only 3-4 games unless there is injuries.

3. give the option of changing jerseys after a seaon or two. also make the crowd look more realistic.. that would be really cool.
btw i really like how we can put our own songs in the game

Fifa 11 is an awsome game a lot better than the previous ones, a few bugs i have are as follows.

1. The skills - when playing fifa 11 if your not in the pro view then the angle at which you have to perform the skills movemnts is rubbish that needs changing so it doesnt matter in what direction your facing just do the movement that it shows in the menu.

2. the team AI is crap when playing as a prop they make bad passing decisions and dont play like the opponets AI players, or anything like they do in real life.

3. the tackling needs to be addresed as it seems that the computer no mateer where you are can make a brilliant tackle and do it all the time but when you try to make standing tackles like them there is no chance of it happening.

4. i think that during a season as a player you should be asked by other teams to play for them not just at the end of the season.

5. bring back being selected for your national team that was brilliant idea before so why get rid of it.
hello, what I would love to see change in fifa 12 is especially in season mode, more realistic transfer market, where you could negotiate both in sale and buy.
And also put in a more realistic handling of the club, chosing sponsors, adjust ticket prices, a little more realistic prize money for winning the league, finishing third, tv money etc.

Making it possible to find talent and make them to top players, and there should be a reserve team and junior squads. So you could find local lads and make them to top players.

The gameplay is already very good so the should maybe fix bugs and concentrate on the business side of fotball also so the game is a little more realistic...
This is the changes i would love to see, if the are just going to airbrush the old game and release it again i don't thin i'll bother to buy the game..
First of all, brilliant game. My favorite sports game ever and i'm an American Football fan. But i've come across some glaring flaws.

1) I constantly have issues with head to head matchmaking. Many times it will load the select teams screen but then it will freeze there. Not allowing me to do anything (including leave) and never finding an opponent. Until a period of time elapses and then it boots me. This will happen to me at least twice within an hour of playing. Occasionally more.

2) Should have the option to rematch after a 2v2 match.

3) Game freezes during online play. Then it becomes a "who is going to leave first" between the players. I have had this happen several times, and i'm not really sure if its the game or my opponent messing with the online play.

3) Sometimes during play I have issues with the game not passing to the correct receiver. This can be very frustrating. I'm sure the reason is i'm not holding the stick the exact perfect direction or I made a slight mistake on the power meter, but still. I feel like any mistake on my part is minimal, and the game isn't understanding the pass I want.

4) High pressure defenses. Unrealistic. You will notice when you get above 3500 in online play almost everyone operates off high pressure. To the point the offense has to play hot potato with the ball, and the defense doesn't tire very fast at all. It's just cheap, and again very unrealistic. I feel like it ruins the game. You should be able to pressure, but not to ridiculous amounts.

5) If a guy slide tackles me from behind and doesn't touch the ball, straight red every time. I've seen warnings given for this. Ridiculous.

6) More tutorials please. I had to learn most of the advanced play by stumbling upon it or finding it on you tube. This game is extremely deep and any help is appreciated.

7) No loading screens for free kicks, throw ins, or corners. Not sure if this is possible, but its irritating.

8) Randomly I disconnect from the EA servers during or before play. This happens to my friend who plays at an entirely different location than me as well. Come on. Stop that.

9) Bring Fifa 10 manager mode back minus the glitches!
id like to see that bug fixed on be a pro online, where all of a sudden your someone elses be a pro player & not your own that you created.

In Career Mode add a co-op 2 player mode.

Penalties to be put back as in Fifa 10.

Computer AI to be improved for Lower League Teams & Passing High Long Balls, etc.

Transfers to be made more realistic.
It would be nice if you were able to run your country's national team in Career Mode. Able to schedule / play friendlies, scout players playing for their clubs and generally run the national team and play in various tournaments much like you're able to run a club team in Career Mode.
Really need to sort out the loading times. really annoying having to wait ages to get to another screen. Also the movement around the menus and team selection is often slow and sticky at times, need to speed it uop and make it more crisper and fluent. Player ratings as well so many players are way under rated, i.e. Tevez, D.Milito, sneijder.
hello firstly i would like to say that fifa is amazing.Although the only thing that i would like to have changed is when your playing online i want real tournaments online so you can win cups not like ultimate team.Like 8 rounds with 16 international fifa players and the last person that knocks everythin out is the winner and gets a online trophy or points.This will make it very fun and competitive so please could you do that.
customize stadiums.... upgrade stands or move to a new stadium preferably both.

customize kits... sponsor placements better designs for kits and better badge designs!

youth academy where u can watch the growth of young players and make them superstars...

better cometary with a few different commentators not just the same two all the time

trainings.....

international duty's...

and i also noticed that when the season was over in manager mode that only barclays premier league teams wanted me... and ild like to have a few more options like the ligue 1, bundeslige 1, la liga etc just leagues from all round the world according to the managers reputation....
First of all great job guys fifa 11 is by far the best football game ever....You are doing great job over and over and each fifa is better than previous one.

Here are my suggestions:

-Make Online league better.(Clubs schould have budgets, and you schould be able to buy and sell players within the league,)
-I think that strengh of players is still overrated,it is easier to play with physical stronger teams (Chelsea,Inter,..) than techincal teams like Barcelona. I just dont like it when players like Xavi,Iniesta and Messi lose ball when first player touchs him. Make ball shielding att.
-It is still hard to get by player with L2 dribling moves.Make it a bit easier

That is it. Overall im very pleased with fifa 11 and cant wait for fifa 12
EkowJulAsante
i think there should be more virtual pro custumization.like his running style,jumping style,freekick style.the gameface should be better.there should be champions league and cup editing.injuries should be shown,there should be fights,the be a pro should be more challenging(you can be subbed )
delete that pk bar from fifa11
i want my penalty shot direction privacy back!!
