Improvements For FIFA 08 - Page 31

Halfaworldaw · 05-05-2007, 12:09 AM

I have to say that over the last few seasons i have had complaints over certain areas of FIFA, for example the commentary in 2005, however i feel 2007 was and still is a very strong game, i enjoy it very much and wouldn't change all that much when it comes to gameplay.

I think the freekick system is much more challenging, its taken me a long time to get some reward from it.

Here are a few things a would like to see added for the next installment.

Replays
We all talk about fixture congestion in the real game thing would be an ideal addition to the cup competitions rather than extra time.

More Leagues
Leagues is something we are always asking for, the addition of the Welsh and both Irish Leagues would be nice to complete the western european countrys, and in turn opening up the ammount of clubs involved in the euro competitions.

Intertoto Cup
Well we have the European Cup & Uefa Cup not to mention the Super cup, why not complete it with this competition also??

Eastern Europe & Russian clubs
I know some of these clubs are represented in the rest of the world section, I think we would like to have some of the leagues in full, Romania and Czech Republic could be the first to start with.

Creation abilitys
Well one thing that needs to be improved upon are the creation abilitys, i really believe there are many great creators in the Fifa gaming community and their skills need to be utilised, just look at sites like "soccergaming" some of the artwork for kits, flags and logos there are fantastic.

Could EA use the skills of these people for making updates after the games have been released, for example adding a new league?, updating the roster database? now with the Nintendo wii, Xbox 350 and the ps3 all having online capabilitys updates could be downloaded directly to the console.

fsssalnave · 05-05-2007, 01:39 AM

Very good suggestions. I especially like the last one.

middl3arth · 05-05-2007, 01:22 PM

we want COLOR on supporters, in stadiums. For example when MUFC plays vs Chelsea at Old Trafford %90 of stadium must be in red and white and %10 (or less) blue and white. Allmost all supporters should wear their teams kits etc.

And we should have different atmosphere in different leagues: in Italy we could see huge choreographies while in England there would be more chants

SanderTuus · 05-05-2007, 03:27 PM

the fan colours should be something like in WC, I remember playing Estonia vs Spain and the whole stadium was in spain colour and there was only one big estonian flag

cjmac217 · 05-05-2007, 05:07 PM

i would like a fifa street mini game incorperated into it as a skill bulding programme for players and they can pull them off in the game, but we select what direction does what trick.

if not....JUST AN INDOOR PITCH....OR AN INDOOR LEAGUE.

realistic schedule instead of 3 games in 2 days.

cjmac217 · 05-05-2007, 05:12 PM

i want teams to be as of the 1st of september 2007 after the transfer window closes.

the game isnt released until october, but squads are always current from the 27th august. in 06 i think i had to transfer owen from madrid to newcastle, he is a big name and i had to do it myself. not very good.

so my question is what do EA do between the 27th august to release day, why cant the work to the 1st of september and then do nothing till release day????

You have to add that time on for Disc production and distribution etc.

SimplementeRoma · 06-05-2007, 01:00 AM

I'd rather have it done correctly, with all the players in the right teams than have it done sooner and have to download some other guy's "d.squads" file just to have the right players in the right squads.

That said, here are my suggestions:

Editing a face
I'll give an example. Mexès looks NOTHING like the actual Mexès. He is blonde, but in the game, he's a redhead or something close to that. His face is nothing like in real life. It would be cool if they atleast let us change the haircolor and style. Another example would be De Rossi, he has short hair now, but in the game, he has "long" hair, like during the WC.

More depth with the youth team
Schedule their trainings. Make them weight train on Monday, run on Tuesday, so on.

More depth with the senior team
Again, make them weight train on Monday, run on Tuesday. Make them rest on Wensday. Select a few to go to freekick training. That way, they can increase their stamina by doing excercise A, and increase their accuracy or finishing.

Transfer window months
These crucial moments in football have to be more than just bid every 4 or 6 games. It is crucial that you get 1 bid each day (each bid has a time limit, so you can't over-stack your bids), so you can negotiate more calmly. Also, we should be able to include players in the deals. I want to buy Messi, ok. Barcelona asks for 30mil, I don't have 30 mil in my transfer budget, but I do have 15 mil and Adriano for the deal.

More atmosphere!
We all know what the atmosphere is like at a Man Utd game vs Liverpool game, or a Chelsea vs Arsenal game, but whenever I play these derbies, like Lazio-Roma, I feel I'm playing Siena or Fiorentina. It doesn't feel different. BIG PROBLEM. It's also big in the Champion's league knockout rounds. They are boring games! They are the same through out! Have the crowd cheer MORE! Have the camera show the crowd more, have them wave flags and sing the REAL songs from TODAY, not last decades! Roma doesn't sing "Francesco Totti facci un gol" anymore! Player songs are banned in the curva!!! ACTUALIZE THE FANS!!

Entrance songs
I don't know about England, but in Italy, the club's anthem is played whenever they come out (just the home one). It would be great to hear "Roma Roma Roma, core de 'sta città, unico grande amore..." whenever I play a home game!

klonhbh1 · 06-05-2007, 06:05 AM

1.- RATE TEAMS AS IN 06 and 05 (stars) it sucked in 07...

2.- Make a Latin American and a European Version, so that each one could have the inferior leagues..... like Primera A in Mexico

3.- find a new way to improve the mood of players, in 07, all my players have chance to paticipate in games and their mood is very low, even when my team is champion... the mood was OK like in 05, where you had the smileys....

4.- Choose when you want ONLY night or ONLY cloudy game, and when you wish RAIN may come...

5.- get to create your players in the YOUTH ACADEMY when you start manager mode (maybe only name, position, age and the talent development) to keep it realistic

6.- Be able to choose SPECIFIC COUNTRIES as well as 3 specific player positions when you send your agent searching for talented players....

7.- Include the Argentinian League

8.- Include ALL the tactics for ofense and defense in the Visual Simulation

9.- Be able to have friendly matches as preparation as an option in manager mode

10.- Be able to do transactions before a new season starts, when you sign again for a club, decide who you want to get for your team and have an INSTANT REPLY, so that you can MAKE BETTER OFFERS or have some sort of Discussion to agree with the players you want in the terms of their contract

11.- Be able to edit more players (maybe 60 this time) in consoles. And please, the commmentator MUST BE ABLE TO SAY THE NAME AGAIN, after editing

12.- The commentator MUST ALSO SAY THE NAMES of the team that you import from career mode.

13.- There should be INDEPENDENT SHIRT NUMBERS for National Teams and Club Teams, I hate that if you edit a player in a National Team, its number is edited too in the club...

LilPancho86 · 06-05-2007, 08:56 AM

There is one major problem I've been having with the FIFA series, as of late (console version)... Every year when an important/brilliant player (with a real face in the game) retires, or is in the process of transferring to another league team, or transfers to a league team not in the game, he is essentially deleted, and there is no way to bring him back... unless a patch is installed, but usually the patch may delete other players who retire or transfer out to another league not in the game...

I suggest that these specific players be placed in a special list of "free agents"... For example: Zinedine Zidane (retired), Luis Figo (if he transfers to a Saudi League team), Hidoteshi Nakata (retired), Claudio Lopez and Juan Sebastian Veron (both transferred to an Argentina league team), Jose Cardozo (also transferred to an Argentina league team before he became a coach), etc... There are many other players with real faces that have been deleted because of certain circumstances, which I think is a real waste...

Also, there are certain players on international teams who play in league teams not in the game, and these specific players can't be edited or transferred... These players with real faces should be put in the "free agents" list as well...

This way, the players put in the "free agents" list will be able to be transferred, edited, and essentially used for updating/editing teams to use for 'play now' and career mode...

KennedyboyPlay · 06-05-2007, 03:56 PM

More stadiums definitely.

I would personally love to see a Scottish stadium included like Hampden, Parkhead and especially Ibrox Stadium (Rangers).

Below is a slideshow of Ibrox Stadium and some info on the place.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swRZVfBEKos
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrox_stadium

It was already in FIFA 99 it's time it was put back in 9 years later!

CristianoJones · 06-05-2007, 03:58 PM

Better sky graphics of course, it has on Current Gen just a little patch over the stadium

Bunchodaffs · 06-05-2007, 09:19 PM

Chants and stadiums for lower leagues. Mb on next gen downloadable stadiums and chants

SimplementeRoma · 07-05-2007, 12:46 AM

A section that says "What the papers say..."

You can check it every game, see what the build up is to your game, or which player is a star. Include the team of the month there, but instead of just being every month, every week!

marchingon2geva · 07-05-2007, 03:07 PM

please can weh ave goal-flashes like mentioned earlier in this post.
e.g. if you score and move in to the lead etc.. the table pops up and you can see were youve moved into, or in a group game the table comes up
or H/T and F/T scores along the bottom
ive been looking out for this but it has never came

Mant thankz

Mrks16Pl · 07-05-2007, 04:34 PM

^^^nice idea^^^

Not sure how hard this would be to introduce but maybe after each game try creating a part where you must answer interviews by the press (I know there is the memo thing, but I don't think thats too good).

Also I find it too easy to gain the respect and support of fans and the board, could be made alot harder.

ohneekone · 07-05-2007, 04:53 PM

I absolutely find it UNACCEPTABLE that for the past 4 years EA has only given its consumers national cup tournaments to play for. How boring!!!!
We should be able to play instant Champions League football like in the last edition Fifa 2003. Furthermore, Barcelona should be less skilled than it is now in the game. Ronaldinho is not even half as good in real life as in the game. Also whenever a player disconnects he or she should be punished with minus points. And the other with extra points. This hardly happens. I can say that from experience!

SmartCanuck1988 · 07-05-2007, 05:03 PM

Finally I got to resize those pictures

... jeez what's going on with the world not a single decent image resizer?

Anyway ...

This is about player switching (selecting different defenders)... It's really frustrating the way it is right now .... you have to go through tons of players close to the ball first until you can get your defender who actually has a chance of making a tackle because he's few steps ahead. (Sometimes, actually most of the times, you can't even get the defender you wanted).

Most cases right now in fifa end up with the defenders chasing the attacker from behind ... why's that? ... because (even with manual switching on and 0% auto-switch) it would switch between players depending on their distance from the ball.

So here's what I'm suggesting:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TDH14186 · 07-05-2007, 06:21 PM

Player Abilities (Stats must be at least 92 to qualify for bonus abilities)

Probably need to introduce unique player abilities according to attributes. It won't be unbalanced this way.

High Strength: Powerhouse

Hard to knock down or hold off; can only be bested by another Powerhouse with a higher Strength value.
High Speed: Trailblazer

Players with this special ability can outrun any opponent, except those with higher Speed with the same ability.

High Tackling: Ball Winner

They can win a high percentage of tackles and come out on top.

High Dribbling: Mazy Runner

They can weave their way through defences or beat defenders with a large number of tricks.

High Ball Control: Close Control

Especially important for Target Men. Always keeps the ball close to own body. Can be used to trick defenders.

High Marking: Shadow

They can follow their opponents well, and they can cope with Mazy Runners.

High Finishing: Finisher

They can put away a large number of chances, and are especially proficient in one-on-one situations.

High Heading: Aerial Commando

Hard to beat in the air; heading accuracy and heading power is deadly.

High Acceleration: Explosive Starter

These players can burst away from their markers, and they reach top speed extremely quickly.

High Long Shots: Sharpshooter

Excellent shooting ability from long-range.

High Shot Power: Piledriver

These players pack a hard shot and their shots are especially hard to catch/stop/save.

High Shot Accuracy (if re-introduced): Shot Placer

Loves to place shots and they rarely shoot off-target.

High Jumping (if introduced): Spring Heels

Brilliant jumping ability. Usually combined with Aerial Commando.

High Stamina: Endurance

These players lose less energy than other players, usually leaving them fresher at the end of the game than others in the same position.

High Anticipation (if re-introduced): Mind-Reader

These players will intercept opponent's passes more often and they know how to time their runs forward as well as knowing where their team-mates are.

High Reactions: Quick Reflexes

Players who would instantly react to any loose ball.

High Reflexes: Agile Keeper

These 'keepers are experts are penalty saving and point blank saves.

High Short Passing: Accurate Passer

These players are good at one-touch passing and short passes.

High Long Passing: Pinpoint Passer

These players are good at long balls and can thread eye-of-the-needle through-passes.

High Composure: Ice-cool Head

Very composed players; this ability affects the Finesse Shot due to dependence on Composure and Long Shots.

High Free Kicks: Set-piece Specialist

Great at set-pieces; capable of dangerous delivery.

High Leadership: Spirited Leader

If this player is captain every game (in Manager Mode), the team almost never loses morale. On the pitch players play better when he's captain (outside Manager Mode).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
All attributes must be at least 92 for the bonus abilities.

Also, I would like to introduce a new idea.

Weak Foot Ability (WFA) Scale:
eg. Right-footed players
1/5: Preferred Foot: Right
2/5: Preferred Foot: Right
3/5: Preferred Foot: Right
4/5: Preferred Foot: Both, prefers Right
5/5: Preferred Foot: Both

At 5/5 WFA, players can shoot with either foot depending on which one is a better choice. Both footed players can curl the ball equally well with either foot when performing a Finesse Shot, what do you think?

SmartCanuck1988 · 07-05-2007, 06:24 PM

Great ideas there.

But doesn't it already have a weak foot ability? (same idea too --outta 5 scale ...etc)

himel7403 · 07-05-2007, 09:06 PM

New throwing system needed.

dreamz1375 · 08-05-2007, 06:18 AM

Not sure if it's mentioned before:

Try to have a smarter fixture planner, that doesn't plan 2 matches on the same day or one after the other, like Sat AND Sun. Even the EPL is not that demanding.

Below is a slideshow of Ibrox Stadium and some info on the place. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swRZVfBEKos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrox_stadium It was already in FIFA 99 it's time it was put back in 9 years later!

You can check it every game, see what the build up is to your game, or which player is a star. Include the team of the month there, but instead of just being every month, every week!

Mrks16Pl Rookie Join Date: May 2007 Location: UK Posts: 28	^^^nice idea^^^ Not sure how hard this would be to introduce but maybe after each game try creating a part where you must answer interviews by the press (I know there is the memo thing, but I don't think thats too good). Also I find it too easy to gain the respect and support of fans and the board, could be made alot harder.

ohneekone Rookie Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 3	I absolutely find it UNACCEPTABLE that for the past 4 years EA has only given its consumers national cup tournaments to play for. How boring!!!! We should be able to play instant Champions League football like in the last edition Fifa 2003. Furthermore, Barcelona should be less skilled than it is now in the game. Ronaldinho is not even half as good in real life as in the game. Also whenever a player disconnects he or she should be punished with minus points. And the other with extra points. This hardly happens. I can say that from experience!

It won't be unbalanced this way. High Strength: Powerhouse Hard to knock down or hold off; can only be bested by another Powerhouse with a higher Strength value. High Speed: Trailblazer Players with this special ability can outrun any opponent, except those with higher Speed with the same ability. High Tackling: Ball Winner They can win a high percentage of tackles and come out on top. High Dribbling: Mazy Runner They can weave their way through defences or beat defenders with a large number of tricks. High Ball Control: Close Control Especially important for Target Men. Always keeps the ball close to own body. Can be used to trick defenders. High Marking: Shadow They can follow their opponents well, and they can cope with Mazy Runners. High Finishing: Finisher They can put away a large number of chances, and are especially proficient in one-on-one situations. High Heading: Aerial Commando Hard to beat in the air; heading accuracy and heading power is deadly. High Acceleration: Explosive Starter These players can burst away from their markers, and they reach top speed extremely quickly. High Long Shots: Sharpshooter Excellent shooting ability from long-range. High Shot Power: Piledriver These players pack a hard shot and their shots are especially hard to catch/stop/save. High Shot Accuracy (if re-introduced): Shot Placer Loves to place shots and they rarely shoot off-target. High Jumping (if introduced): Spring Heels Brilliant jumping ability. Usually combined with Aerial Commando. High Stamina: Endurance These players lose less energy than other players, usually leaving them fresher at the end of the game than others in the same position. High Anticipation (if re-introduced): Mind-Reader These players will intercept opponent's passes more often and they know how to time their runs forward as well as knowing where their team-mates are. High Reactions: Quick Reflexes Players who would instantly react to any loose ball. High Reflexes: Agile Keeper These 'keepers are experts are penalty saving and point blank saves. High Short Passing: Accurate Passer These players are good at one-touch passing and short passes. High Long Passing: Pinpoint Passer These players are good at long balls and can thread eye-of-the-needle through-passes. High Composure: Ice-cool Head Very composed players; this ability affects the Finesse Shot due to dependence on Composure and Long Shots. High Free Kicks: Set-piece Specialist Great at set-pieces; capable of dangerous delivery. High Leadership: Spirited Leader If this player is captain every game (in Manager Mode), the team almost never loses morale. On the pitch players play better when he's captain (outside Manager Mode). ------------------------------------------------------------------- All attributes must be at least 92 for the bonus abilities. Also, I would like to introduce a new idea. Weak Foot Ability (WFA) Scale: eg. Right-footed players 1/5: Preferred Foot: Right 2/5: Preferred Foot: Right 3/5: Preferred Foot: Right 4/5: Preferred Foot: Both, prefers Right 5/5: Preferred Foot: Both At 5/5 WFA, players can shoot with either foot depending on which one is a better choice. Both footed players can curl the ball equally well with either foot when performing a Finesse Shot, what do you think?
