Well I started up this thread a while ago and really enjoyed some of the ideas you guys were posting. But it then got moved to the Fifa 09 Feedback area and has since gone a bit off the boil. It basically ignored gameplay, online and all other major issues with Fifa and focussed on the small details that add to the realism of the in game experience.
