  1. i whould ike 2 see when the game is about 2 start show some line up players faces better make some players or manager talk like lma and when it comes 2 training show some parts of traning that the team is going 2 do nd ect… just dnt make like the old 1 make it a brand new look

  2. – I would really like to see more badges (3 years in a row now a Scottish division 1 team has been in the UEFA Cup but with no badge Gretna, Dunfermline, Queen of the South) , strips, and real players for lower division teams, including reserve leagues and more player pictures for the likes of scotland and portugal. They are probably the 5th and 6th best leagues in europe (behind SPA, ENG, ITA, FRA, GER and HOL) but seem to be ignored (Celtic 1 Milan 0) (Aberdeen 2 Bayern Munich 2) (Rangers 3 Lyon 0). The entire Scottish season has been bought by Setanta sports but in the game the television money is terrible, (glad they got the SPL split right though, well done) and there is only the 1st division for Portugal to play in. – Player exchanges need to be sacked, they are a bit daft, TCM 2005 and FM06 were just about perfect transfer wise they just need to get the market values right. – I enjoy being a national team coach at the same time, and it wasn’t always a full time job. There definitely needs to be a wider choice of nationalties, and taking on a national team should have some repercussions with your clubs fans and players. – No difficulty level
    – Real manager and club staff names, they used to be in FM06, what happened?
    – New tournaments to play in – Under 21’s, youth cups, invites into friendly tournaments (amsterdam tournament etc)
    – More historical data (especially in european matches between two clubs of a different nation) and statistics. I’m a statistics freak.
    – Essential that it uses the FIFA 09 engine, why is there no console version (PS3 can use a mouse)
    – I do like the idea of having real referees, i hope you can choose to confront them at the end of a match
    – Declare your interest in a player to the international press to unsettle him and his club

    All in all it is a brilliant game and i would love to see some of these features added, but whatever FM09 is like i know it will be brilliant again.

  3. Give option to apply for hosting a World Cup or European Championship. Or if you are in Africa hosting Africa Cup etc. If your country get the opportunity to host the event, you can help in the organization for your country. Choose the stadiums, cities etc. Give control for the manager during the event and before.

    Possibility to manage non European National Teams too. Like Australia, Japan, Argentina etc.

  4. Please Have A Refree on the pitch and linesmen. Also In Be A “Pro” there she be able to continue after one season and be transfered to different clubs on you choice not the clubs. Please Do Not just make the players Faces look better as in graphics also make the Pitch and Stadium and Fans Look Wayyy better

  5. In the nxt fifa u shuld b able 2 u both da analogue and da arrows man it sukz jst 2 use anologue thnx.

  6. you should be able manage national teams and club in the same time…………..please………..thank you………oh!AND PUT CYPRUS LEAGUE 1 (OMONOIA,APOEL,ANORTHOSIS,APOLLON e.t.c)

  7. you should be able to manage national teams, like mexico , argentina i mean it can be asome when u finished a specific lvl give choices

  8. I’m not sure what is going on but EA Sports for some reason never has the real names of the Dutch players. Holland is one of the best soccer nations in the world and when I play with holland I get names that are not even really dutch. You can’t ad “van” or “de” before any name and make it Dutch. I’m looking for all EA games to use real names such as van Nistelrooy, Robben, van der Sar, etc. you get the point.

  9. -Real tatics team to team, like ManUtd 4-4-2 or Chelsea 5-4-1
    -Real managers
    -Referees
    -Portuguese Version

  10. i thnk that you should be able to exchange players for other players
    e.g i wanna trade drogba for torres

  11. ALL WE WANT IS A BETTER NATIONAL TEAM MANAGMETN FEATURES AND ALSO YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE A NATIONAL TEAM AND A CLUB AT THE SAME TIME, THAT IS UNREALISTIC AND STUPID, THEY CONTRIDICT, AND IT DOESNT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE, THAT IS A MUST, YOU CAN ONLY MANAGE ONE TEAM AT A TIME, NO CLUB AND NATIOANL!! THANK YOU!!!

  12. International Manager, being able to call up the players from your country that you want and sometimes the club denying the players to go.

  13. The REAL Classic XI:

    Lev Yashin (Goalkeeper)
    Carlos Alberto Torres • Franz Beckenbauer • Bobby Moore • Nílton Santos (Defenders)
    Johan Cruijff • Diego Maradona • Michel Platini (Midfielders)
    Garrincha • Alfredo Di Stéfano • Pelé (Forwards)

  14. i think fm 2009 heve to include manager incomes widely.example if a manager have a penthouse,penthouse’s fees must increase and manager must earn more money.in addition manager should manage youth player and joın the youths cup.it will be best if my suggestions will be.

  15. I think the Romanian football is ready to appear iin the next footbal manager with kits and all sigles ..and i think that you should have more players from columbia and other countries….
    – a lot of players in fifa manager 08 have different position …..
    – and i think that we can have an option to be just chairmans and to pick other managers…like jose murinho …….:) i hope that you will do this changes:) thank you

  16. You have to make it so we can play online, against other managers. You can make *ONLINE MODE* and in the online mode, you can make your own league. In this league you can be any team you want. And if you are manager of Man Utd and then have Cristiano Ronaldo, som other manager who wants Cristiano Ronaldo have to make a bid to you and then you have to accept, reject or negotiate with the manager. If this will be a real thing, FM 09 will sell big time!!!

  17. For the first the managers name should be REAL in each club. For example in FM 08 the manager of Man Utd is Roy Royson( that was an example) but it should have been Alex Ferguson. And it shoud been like when the transfer market is closing you could represent a player for a club like one club represent a player for you. And you have to increase the number of national teams. And it should be more players, like Manucho who is transferring to Man Utd next season isn`t on FM 08. Hope you can improve this.

  18. national team management definitely needs improvement – and there should also be the option to manage a team’s under 21’s. it’s like international management has just been added on as an afterthought – it is important and should definitely be much more in-depth than it currently is. also – when u r manager of a team, it should be possible to resign without having to buy out the rest of your contract – like in real life.
    also, when trying to sell a player, the negotiations shouldn’t immediately break down the moment u try to sell him for more than the buying club is willing to pay – e.g. if i was liverpool manager and aston villa offered me £5million for pennant, the negotiations shouldn’t suddenly collapse as soon as i increase my valuation to £6million – what should happen is that villa would tell me the maximum price they r willing to pay, so then the 2 clubs can agree on a fee.

  19. PLEASE MAKE THE CYPRUS 1ST DIVISION AND ( KITS ,AND MORE DETALS)WE ARE IN EUROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Fifa 09 Should definetly have a refree and linesmans and should also have way more stadiums not just european ones also you need to have more realistic faces and please please make the goalies dive way more dont just make them “stretch out”. I would also like to see some improvement in the corner and free kicks for example make the ball go a bit more faster in free kicks. Also make the shoes have more detail,and make the jerseys with more details including ads and sponsers. Also have the ability to play in tournaments and be invited to tournaments or qualify for tournaments like the CONCAFA Champions Cup or The UEFA Champions Cup and the Fifa World Cup of Clubs and other tournaments like the Copa SudAmericana and the Interliga and the Copa Libertadores and the ECC and the SUPERLIGA and the UEFA Cup. I Would also like to see players for the internationl team go away for the World Cup and other cups like The Gold Cup and Copa America and The Euro Cup please make those cups exist and when players go away for their internationl duties make alot go away not just 1 or 2 for each postition make about 10 or more go away for each position itsept obviously goalkeeper.Also make the ability to be able to coach internationl teams during Freindlies or Internationl cups like the ones I mentioned. Last but not least you need to go through the rules clearly for instance you need to make the rule where when a player or the same team passes to their goalkeeper the goalkeeper cannot pick it up unless the player whom passed it to the goalkeeper passes it with something besides their leg also make the offsides called correctly because I’ve seen some wrong offsides called in my game.

  21. Being able to watch your team play from a seat in the stadium with all the other fans.
    being able to attach a restaurant and hotel to your stadium, like the JJB!

  22. – Better 3D matches, its nice but feels abit sloppy and outdated sometimes.
    – Better team talk not just motivating, critisizing but more on tactics to players.
    – The create a kit lacks lots of things to make a proper looking kit.
    – Authentic sponsors would be a nice things instead of watching in football Need for Speed Stadium.
    – Club would try to steal your players and you would try to steal theirs.
    – The Fans animation are rubbish, too blocky and would be nice to have them chant the clubs song or cheer when a player do something right
    – Greater atmosphere in a stadium
    – Apart from all that, just polished up the game (its a good game but it can potentially rule the world)

  23. Extend the national team aspects. Include continental cups (ie Copa Libertadores, Asian Cup, etc) and those region’s world cup qualifications. Extend the depth of international coaching – rather then being second tier to clubs, make it an equal career path, with all the analysis tools that could come without (ie If coaching Italy, watch the Serie A and expat Italian footballers). Also, with other international club competitions (ie Asian Champions League) include leagues that are in the region, even without real names and not being simulated (not just Australia, Korea, UAE but also china, japan, etc. whose leagues are in the game). That’s all from me.

  24. I think Turkish Bank Asya Lig teams and players must be realistic names and logoes in 2009.

  25. 1) There are unrealistic prices when you send coaches on clauses. It’s better to sing in a new coach (unemployed) and hugely experienced!
    2) A scout is always scouting opposite club. I would prefer a choice to stop it.
    3) It would be better (for me) the one-click information about one player or staff than right click and so on..

  26. Players are way too expensive in Fifa, and i think the market should be more active while the negotiation with player should be easier. We don’t want to see some world class players to go to low-table team. And finally, back in FIFA08, players will just dissapear if no club buys him within 1season, which sucks so bad.

  27. hey argentina is the one of most competitive leages please add the second divition too.. here all want the same

  28. I think it would me good if the “GO on holiday” feature would be added like in championship manager 08

  29. I would like that you can shout at your players again too shoot or too pass like you could do in total club manager 2004

  30. 1. So like when I have a gf in the game and we get marriedy, have kids, etc. she gets old but my manager pic stays the same age. That’s cool I guess for guys who like older women, but I’d like to age with my partner. Can you make the manager pics age too… or do they and I just haven’t played enough seasons before buying the latest version of the game again??? LOL
    2. When you have kids I’d like an option to send my kid to a football camp and stuff to get him into competition, rather than it happening randomly. That would be cool if your kid ended up being able to be signed and even be on your team under you as manager.
    3. I mentioned this one before but I’d like more options how to invest my personal fortune; stock market, etc.
    4. I’d like to be able to preview what cars/houses/luxury items look like before I actually purchase them. I bought this car once (gee, I think it was a Hyundai duh!) and the name sounded cool but when I bought it and saw it, it was like a bad blind date. Can’t you give us some classic cars that accually appreciate in value?

    Keep up the great job!!!

  31. Much more free moving realistic 3d match! not robot players.
    If players arent at clubs from the start dont not include them but put them on free transfers from the start.
    More carefully selected ratings for lower league players.
    harder (i won the prem with tottenham)
    Tighter budgets.
    no easy or hard levels.
    give the game a actual level to stick to.
    players on other teams just as useless as your own. or your own just as good as the other team.
    updated player pics.
    more focus on tactics and actual football than pointlesas things.
    eg. golf sailing girlfriends etc etc.
    and try your hardest to compete with all the other managment games and put it on a consle. prefrably 360.

  32. maybe there should be options when buying a player instead as well as advance money options you can also buy gifts to lure player ini.e houses, cars etc

    when you watch the 3d match pressing space bar makes the screen full screen. You should get goal higlighs come up at the bottom in full screen mode.

    when watching the 3d match the second space bar view, with the teams on the right, you should be able to change tatics like push forward and attack on left, just like text match view, have a little control with tatics live during 3d rather than just the attack bar on top.

    New cars 9 I have added ferraris and super cars in my game but standard should have better cars available ( but this is not too important)

    player of the year , european player of the year awards should be with graphics as well. with the nominated players shortlisted just like the drawds for cups, but with graphics of some sort of ceremony.

    sign staff should have some more information, like what languages to know ( but also be able to learn) information on more tatics abilities to really make it challenging from a staff aspect also resembles the many obstacles with foreign players and staff in football.

    pictch riots if your team has done really bad like loose 15 games in a row. ( plus a heavy fine from the FA when clubs are guilty of activities.its natural to make money and also loose money in footbal ( after making 500 million in 4 seasons it was pretty tough to loose money even spending 80 million a year on transfers in the end i build a 400 million pound stadium only to finish that season with 250 million profits still. LOl but its good making money in the game, so some ways to also loose money , 250k fine for misconduct in european footbal lol

    team runs and special info before 3d games loads runs too fast , cannot read the information showing i.e ( manchester has not lost a game in the last 5 moatches)

    when you build the stadium the graphics do not look smart like they do when you start with a new club ie man united the stadium when you play home games the lights look really real, fans move around, police and photographers around the pitch but when you build all these are gone and looks like a standard graphic stadium, but when visiting big clubs and stadiums all this is there . not sure if its when you build you change the dimension or something in yoru stadium.

  33. Please give an attention on the leadership of referee because too much mistakes that created by the referee. Thanks

  34. MORE STADIUMS LIKE 4 EXAMPLE THE CARACANA STADIUMSFROM BRAZIL Olímpico Atahualpa AND SOME OTHER IMPORTANTS AROUND THE WORLD

  35. make national team tornaments for the world cup, put more national team for exanple(ghana,chile,colombia,peru,IvoryCoast,VENEZUELA,bolivia,servia,canada,israel,iran,costa rica,japan,egypt,honduras and some other important countries DONT DELETE THE CONTRIES THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE GAME and make the game for psp,ps2,ps3,xbox 306 and nintendo wii

  36. make national team tornaments for the world cup, put more national team for exanple(ghana,chile,colombia,peru,Ivory Coast,bolivia,servia,canada,israel,iran,costa rica,japan,egypt,honduras and some other important countries and make the game for psps,ps2ps3,xbox 3060 and nintendo wii

  37. there is a bug where if u try to win a match.
    by making one change it is impossible to even though after playing with the same team several times however by making two changes u can win on the first try.
    although it is a bad practice to try and win with ateam by making several atempts but there are situations where u cannot aford to lose like playoffs

  38. bigger database for better game.Add original players.In creation zone Player can create more that give him.Easy menu.Thanks

  39. make materazzi ,mutu and other player’s
    have more scout reports for the player who are you looking for
    make realy managers,ds,chairmair for the club.for example:in as rome not{antonini}-spalletti
