Improvements For FIFA 08 - Page 12

hibidigagabubu · 19-12-2006, 06:21 AM

I remember FIFA05, when there was still the 4-1-4-1 formation (the current Arsenal formation, where you can really pack the midfield while defending, as well as having many options going forward. FIFA07 and FIFA06 have not had good formations where there is a holding midfielder.

Also, there is massive fixture congestion in manager mode, has anyone noticed? For example, I play the English league and I have FA cup and league fixtures on the same day. I am suggesting something like having at least a two day break in between matches.

Cup celebrations should involve the whole team, and I mean the whole squad including reserves. Because currently the celebrations only involve the players that finish the match. Maybe EA could do something like make the reserves wear tracksuits (like they do in real life) while going up onto a podium to receive the medals.

I also feel that cutscenes are not required every single time the game stops due to fouls and throw ins. For example we should be allowed to see player reactions from the normal cameras. Also, I would like non cutscene manager reactions on the sidelines.

Substitutions have to be improved. ie. make the fourth official hold up the signboard thing to indicate.

I agree with one of the previous posts as well, one that said something about having light injuries in manager mode (those that take about 2 weeks or so to heal). I also feel that goalkeepers should be receiving yellow and red cards so as to make gameplay more exciting.

The lack of goals scored by midfielders and also the inability to choose how attacking the corners are.

The first problem could be easily sorted... why not in a Pro Evo style (tsssssssssss) way be able to pinpoint the position of a player? I would also like a lot more support on the wings from both wide players and full backs. Even with WP tactic selected, the options are dismal. Support from midfield is even worse! Get a ball up to the front 2 and it is very rare that you will see the central midfielders running ahead and joining in the attack.

With regards to the corners... This is the thing that p****s me off most about fifa. Like I said yesterday, I would like to see 2 things... so simple yet so effective to adding to the realism of the game. 1) The ability to decide who attacks the corners. My example was of Gary Neville being in there ready for the headers lol... I want Rio and Vidic attacking my crosses! Get the big guns up! This has always been a big downfall on fifa in my opinion... 2) How many attack the corners. Okay, your 1-0 up in the 85th minute with a corner... you dont want 7 or 8 Players attacking the cross do you lol... and vice versa, 1-0 down with 2 minutes to go you want to throw everything but the kitchen sink... Like I said, it would only add to the realism and these things have really agitated me over the years I have played Fifa. Meh, I say the same things everyyear but we know we got fat chance in hell of any of it being sorted.

Thanks for listening to the rant guys, and if the EA guys need any more suggestions I got a whole list of em here...

Cheers

Correct, even if the Box Overload tactic is on, I feel that midfielders are not making runs into the box to support the strikers. This prevents you from being able to use the short, "cut back" pass to tap into an open goal. Also, FIFA should make big, tall and strong players to be in the box during corners. Currently, the full backs are in the box while centre defenders stay back. I feel that centre defenders should be in there while full backs stay back (since they are generally shorter).

ASLARKMANU · 20-12-2006, 11:22 PM

When your playing the computer it cheats when you have freekicks. Coz i made a bad tackle near the half way and they got a freekick outside my box! WHICH IS A TOTAL JOKE. They scored as well which i feel totally cheated. Another point is that the computer scores a freekick 9/10 from anywhere. Like some 1 star team will score a worldclass freekick!

This must be put right in Fifa 08. It was fine in 06. All what needs changed

* Freekicks in the places where the foul happend.
* Players dont score every single freekick.

hibidigagabubu · 20-12-2006, 11:58 PM

Actually I feel making it so easy to score from free kicks is good for the cyber games. Because some people always foul you outside the box and escape without even a yellow card.

afo80 · 21-12-2006, 01:21 AM

This happened to me today:

The bottom half is normal, the top is messed 0-0
It's great that Taiwo can suddenly get +66 match experience, but some of my players randomly got negative experience. A lot of negative experience. I've never seen this flaw before 0_0

(Usually players go up by 3, like in the bottom)

So, in FIFA 2008, I recommended not having a random spaz with experience 0_0

it would also be kool for more features for the youth academy because its a great idea. maybe you could keep tabs on there progress in terms of goals,assits,clean sheets etc.

also a similar feature for the transfer market. a short summary of how they have performed for there respective club. for example:

name: Palacio
club: boca juniors
Goals: 14
apperances: 24
assists:3
clean sheets:0
Y cards:3
R cards:0

and plus with this feature say you've played 3 seasons you should still be able to see how they did for previous seosons.

thats it for now though, thanx.

why don't you pick a different player mate??
good idea, i'm with you on that but with that i.g you go the hell!!

Palacios sucks!!!

Your game is bugged.

afo80 · 21-12-2006, 03:34 AM

It only happened once, hasn't happened again yet, thank goodness.

hoodboilu4 · 21-12-2006, 12:50 PM

More flexibility in changing graphical settings for game, so that you can have the effects on in low detail so that it plays smoothly etc.

view136 · 21-12-2006, 12:55 PM

pobably this was already mentionded, but for the next version I think EA should work on the player's AI.

They said every player has individual actions, like in real life. There was a change of course, and we all saw it, in fifa07 reg. the gameplay.
But which is the best possible fifa today, not next year with yestarday's programing tools. That's what I want from Fifa08. (besides some other manager and ingame features)
Anyway, Fifa08 should have great AI with this next generation and all.

(what is the ultimate fifa btw??? lol)

Dan · 21-12-2006, 12:59 PM

1) Goalkeepers being able to get sent off.
2) Goalkeepers getting injured.
3) Indoor Pitch.
4) Anybody can take free-kicks or penalties.
5) More cards for the opposition.
6) Cup celebrations
7) Being able to change the colour of your kits every 2 or so seasons.

Opposition not running around the stadium like idiots even when they lose a game.
9) Add the Fifa Club Championship
10) Have a better wage budget system. I can't seem to be able to manage many League 2 sides as the wage budget is a quater of the current wage bill.

view136 · 21-12-2006, 01:09 PM

right.. And they also should consider mentioning the goalkeepers.
Also star players at least should have some specific comments like if u are.... England for ex., and... let's say Owen is on the ball, something like... "he plays better once he moved to Newcastle" or another ex. "we all remember Gerrard's goal against ?? this years Cup final"
u know what I meen...

PeterSlouch · 21-12-2006, 02:49 PM

1) Player Of The Month Awards
2) A List Of Injuries Around The League In The Player Stats Section
3) Show Highlights From Other Games/Or Live Scores During Your Game
4) Subs Warming Up On The Touchline
5) If The Captain Is Subbed Off It Shows Him Hand It Over To Another Player
6) Argentine League
7)Unlimited Player Edits On PS2
8 ) GK's Able To Be Sent Off Or Injured
9)Better Trophy Presentations
10) I like how you can scroll between players as to who you want to take the set plays. I wish you could scroll between players who you want in the box during a corner. I'd scroll on John Terry every time for Chelsea. He NEVER comes up for corners. He's always at the halfway line.

Messi23Ply · 25-12-2006, 05:17 PM

more time for transfers

cicinhoCBF11 · 25-12-2006, 08:30 PM

I think on giving more time for transfer cant be reallistic... if you want, they can add about 2 weeks for pre-season and you can have more time for transfers... in this pre-season mode you go to next match ahd you can see a list of the teams that want to play against you and you can choose the team that you want...

For set players can be cool to choose the players you want to go up for the header... rarely I saw Ferdinand o Vidic going up... only one game against Wigan and sent my header to the crossbar... like 4 players to choose can be great... and order them like the do in PK's, who have more header rating...

I think you are trying to say to focus the comentary in the player that had the ball... for ex. if I took the ball with Lampard and i'm going straight to the goal and the commentator says: we know Lampard have a great long range shoot, he must try a shoot from that distance... or something like... Ronaldinho looks more happy in relation the game against Levante... he is looking more the ball o something like that?

footballpenguin1 · 25-12-2006, 08:43 PM

improvement = no 'glenn hoddles blue and white army' !!!

prol33tar1at · 25-12-2006, 11:00 PM

ok

INTEGRATE THE SKILL STICK current gen gameplay with the next gen gameplay and engine i.e.: dynamic movement and ball control.

ADD A SKILL STICK PASSING MODIFICATION, so u can do fancy flicks onto and off of the ball.

MAKE AN OFF BALL TOGGLE, so you can actually make dummy runs that are'nt lalalalalalaed.

MAKE A HEADER OR VOLLEY TOGGLE, I.E. have different controls for ballin the air in the box ball in the air in the attacking 3rd ball in the air in midfield ball in the air in defensive half.

AL AHLY

a more active storyline I.E. Madden american fotball storyline central, like integrate sky sports into the game with controversy and news radio.

international manager duties integarted into normal managerial duties.

more responsive crowds.

NO MORE AUTORUN

NO MORE AUTO SWITCH

MANUAL OFFSIDE TRAP

some kind of manager mode training mode within manager mode that gives u the ability to upgrade ur players by doing some exercise.

THE IN BETWEEN TIME OF SEASON TO MAKE TRANSFERS not just immediatley tranported 5 months ahead after do you wish to remainw ith your current club?

REFEREES in game, and the ability to push a button to appeal to them, and the ability to over apeal and get carded for desent.

Like if u get fouled and no call if ur still the player on the ground u could push *x* to appeal for a foul or switch guys and run up to the ref and appeal with the other guy, or same for hand ball and corners and lalalala.

i think appeals are a big part of the game that never comes in the game.

same with diving, i think you should be able to dive, but it should be like a skill, if u do it at a bad point its obvious and u get a red card...or just no call and the home crowd boos ur diving lalala.

i have many more suggestions.

hibidigagabubu · 26-12-2006, 02:20 AM

I don't think diving should be allowed because it is wrong.

But I do agree with a few of the others who mentioned better commentary, better trophy presentations and bringing the big centre backs up for indirect freekicks and corners.

Don Jesus92 · 26-12-2006, 02:29 AM

They should have a superstar mode kind of like in madden.

yeah its worng but its part of the game, dealing coke is wrong but its part of the game scareface cause thats scarface and to say that diving does'nt belong in the game cause its wrong.

is'nt ea's slogan if its in the game its in the game?

so lalala, who gves a float if its wrong it aids to the dynamic of the game, would'nt you just love breaking ronaldos legs after he took like 3 dives?

If that were to happen (allow diving), it would cause a great uproar.

Commentary has to be improved.

right! it would be nice...
also they should consider more the previous games. They do it now already, but much more on the subject would be better, not general stuff (like an important player is missing instead of mentioning the player, or instead of :
previous match they made 0-0,
they should say something like "goal scored by X was the decisive point in the previous game".
It would sound better)

hibidigagabubu · 27-12-2006, 08:40 AM

For FIFA08, they should improve player movements off the ball. For example, get players to support the player in possesion. It's been missing. And I believe Winning Eleven and PE6 don't have that.

Also, dribbling is really unrealistic. Has anyone noticed?

For commentary, they should say things like, "Sensational goal by Walcott" instead of the current, boring, "What a goal".
