This would be my "to do" list for next year:
- improving the graphics (because there's still lots of things that can be done)
- smoother animations with 360 degree movement, not just this 8 directional movement scheme...it makes them look like robots and the ball seems to be glued to they're boots...

- new cut-scenes, cup celebrations & stuff...make it feel like we're really watching a match on TV ( u know, close-ups, great entry cut-scenes, replays...PRESENTATION

)
- give the refs they're own AI so that they won't be just running from on the pitch like zombies
- advanced CPU AI, tweak the game play even more, make it more realistic (and make them use the wings

)
- let the ball have it's own physics like in NG
- make the keepers look, move and feel more realistic
- the eternal problem: the goal nets, fix them
- improve the collision system so that there's gonna be much more realistic areal battles & contacts between the players
- make a more in depth Be A Pro mode, that's letting the player go trough a 20 year period or so, in witch to start like any player in a youth school and try to get to the very top (just like in the NHL this year, it's awesome)
- even more options in the Manager Mode
- nice weather effects that effect the game-play also (rain AND snow, to actually feel that u play in winter...)
Do these things next year and i will be you're biggest fan
PS: I forgot about untucked shirts
