this years fifa should have
. players to be more intelligent making clever runs or reading the play intercepting the ball
. make goalkeeper more realistic , there diving the way they command there boxes , different gloves for keepers .
.more stadiums and artistic faces , boots add gloves to the game and trousers for keepers
. add leagues such as conference ,argentinien., greek , etc
. lets us edit as much players as we want and make create a player and team mode more better official sponsers etc also add create a stadium .
. more selection of sponsers on management carrer mode
. when winning trophies make it better present the trophies the fans celebrate and so do players and they recieve there medals and the captain collects the trophy also include the losing side.
. make the crowd look more realistic make them louder and shout clubs songs make it intimidating for the away team .
. like the new pro evo have interviews after the match . man of the match etc
. dont let players retire
. make the difficulty levels harder let the cpu really be cleever and find ways to play it through are defences and stop are strikers from scoring.
. pre season frienldys and tournaments
. make the league positioning mroe realistic dont make chealsea and manunited mid table etc .
.make the transfer s from club more realistic , how is rio ferdinanad gunna be on the tranfers list and be bought by watford if players have signed long term deals make it harder for them to leave the team
. contracts more realitic eg agents envolved
. let us hear new from other leagues and latest tranfers
. the weather has an impact on the game , if too hot players sweat and the game gets slower as fatigue falls if raining let the ball slide along the ground more .
. let fatigue be more realistic dont let players be nakerd after one game .
. let us sign three year deals if we want to reamin with a club .
. make the pitch wear out as the season goes on
. as the match starts it needs impoving no more flash backs etc let the referees led us the captains out as they stand in a line and and shake hands with the opposite side let mascots be their.
. let us see pre match warm ups and the key players of that match eg ronadinho appreances this season 6 goals 4 asssits 3 .
. at half time let music come on and the subs warm up on the field.
. more variety of commentating in different leagues let them talk more sense and more speech it not like john motson will commetate athletico madrid vs sevilla.
. show us at the end of the season who won the cups in different leagues
. lets the journalist be involved making it more real .
. make cup finals that extra special ,nerves kick in big capacity official final ball .
. lets world cup and euro and african and asia cup interfere in are seasons that would be good .
. show us every international friendly played and player called up for every international team
. if possible lets us take the role of being manager of are country if werea high profile manager.
. if we have a formal player from a rival team eg im playing manu and i have a mancity player let them boo him and intemidate him .
. goal of the months and player of the month awards in the leagues let the player if therre good get international call ups and let other clubs make bid for him . its highly unrealistic arsenal will make a bid for zenden when hes on the bench and offer 10 miilion so make the transfer more realistic if a players doing well let teams make bids for him.
. maybe have the option to arrange the sessions for training .
. if youre a top club and you spend alot and finish second and win nothing ie your chealsea you almost certain to get the sack as the club have high expectation , unlike in fifa 07 when i finish 5 th 7 th and 4 th win manunited and won nothng and stayed manager .
. in manager mode build up to manager top class teams have the option to start of at lower league teams and build up let the critics be on your back in the papers.
. if youre a midtable side let the club expectations be more realistic like , finish in top half sign a highly rated midfield , not get in europe and win the premiership.
. get to unlock all ledgendry players and teams for friendly modes
. make the cups official , make it uefa champions league and uefa cup .
. let matches get postponed if really bad weather
. offical referees
. let us kow the differece between home and away fans judging by shirt colour and the way the stewards block them apart
. let free kicks and pens be more realistic , let the pressure really get to the player and certain keeper make the palyer more intimidating eg pepe reina
. if it really is a big game make the fans more up for it the commenters talk more jounalist at the side of the pitch let players really be up for it
.linesman
.more realistic injuries and let the keeper get sent off and injured more of a reason to have 2 keepers in the squad.
. more skills and make it easier for us to do them and let them work the better the player the more better the skills and faster the skills.
. contraversel decision not all are rightt but to a reasonable extent
. intertoto cup
. handballs to be better and handballs in the box
.let us create are own formations aswell and give arrows on the winger where we want them to mainly run .
. let the cpu figure out are gameplan and be tacticle as well we need competition

these are my suggestions i was bored but if you could do a few or all of thesee this would beat pro evo and be the best football game ever like your games btw

I like the idea about hearing stuff from other leagues. I think you should be able to see league tables and player stats from every league. There should be a sort of newsroom that tells you about major transfers eg: Henry moves to Barca, Hildebrand signs for Valencia e.t.c or Arsenal snap up French Starlet e.t.c a bit like on skysports.

[fnbrschtt]

i think the training throughout the season should be improved.
Right now, the growing or losing of skills only depends on how much XP a plyer gains in matches, but the training doesn't have any immediate effect, or so it seems. I also think that the Potential system needs a hack of an update, because much too often, a player at the age of about 23 is considered to be at his top already. This doesn't make sense to me. How can a guy of 23 already have reached his full potential? There's still so much to learn at that age!

what you just said gave me an idea. Be able to play training sessions with your team and be able to choose what attributes you want to work on. Eg: Acceleration, Strength e.t.c

That was more or less what I was thinking of as well, now hope they pick it up.

Uefa Cup & Champions league are EFA & ECC because of copyright laws, also handballs in the box is kinda risky because you can't control if the player uses the hand or not and it would be kinda sucky to loose a game because you conceded a penalty in that way, other than that I agree but I think if all focus we could find alot more flaws.

I think the game developers are 99% focused on the gameplay, manager mode gets the very least of their attention and that's why it sucks, like it was designed for a 7-year old.

best idea ive heard

[LilPancho86]

Here's an idea... Instead of just not having important players with real faces who have retired, been suspended from professional football, or play for club teams not included in the game... have these players in a separate list as 'free agents' for use in team management and career mode...

Zidane retired, Carmona is banned, and Borgetti is not listed on any club team, but is on the NT... These players all have real faces, and it would be a real waste to just not include these players... perhaps in career mode, one would be able to persuade Zidane back from retirement, or other retired players for that matter... players who are not included on any club team for whatever reason deserve to be transferable, edited, etc... Nery Castillo signed for a Ukraine club team, and since the Ukraine league is not in the game, Castillo may not be able to be used properly in the game... He would only be on the NT, and nothing else... Please make a 'free agent' list for team management on squads for use, and in manager mode...

there are a fair amount of players who have real faces, or are exceptionally good, but have been erased from the game over the years with every release of a new fifa version...

I really like that idea. coz like last season we didn't have kluivert, sorin, vieri, ze roberto e.t.c and if they were in a free list not only could we put them on the teams they move to but sign them in manager mode.

[LilPancho86]

Player ratings will always be subject to question, as they are given mostly according to opinion... so I suggest that there be an UNLIMITED number of player edits, please... so that we, the gamers have the ability to correct any possible errors in OUR opinions...

also, I heard a rumor that Milito and Puyol are the two CB starters for Barcelona on FIFA 08... this better be lala, because Marquez and Puyol are the starters in real life... they already proved their superb defensive partnership...

[LilPancho86]

If it is possible, save the last two years' kits... so that in manager mode, or kickoff, we can have a better variety of kits to choose from... with every release of a new fifa version, kits are essentially erased to make way for new ones... that's good to update the teams, but it would be nice to save the old ones to be made available... especially since many teams went from having nice kits to ugly ones, but that is all a matter of opinion... so I suggest that the kits from at least last year's be available... so when we go to choose our kits in kickoff:

home
away
alternate
home07
away07
alternate07

^^^1st things 1st: Keeley Hazell is BLAZIN'!!!

Now onto the Fifa stuff:

Overview

FIFA 08 challenges players to master the skills required to play like a professional football player. Fans around the world can experience the same highs and lows of real-world players and tackle the challenges they face on a daily basis.

The FIFA 08 next-gen gameplay engine, built to maximize the power of the XBOX 360™ video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer and entertainment system, delivers animations and ball control that is so responsive you feel like you are actually on the pitch. Players are now aware of their surroundings, reacting authentically to threats and opportunities to make intelligent decisions.

Now with the FIFA 08 shooting system you can enjoy even more control and precision in front of the goal to become a true marksman.

For the first time ever, fans playing FIFA 08 will face the pressure to improve their game that real-world players endure every day. A new play mode called Be A Pro locks you in the role of a single player and challenges you to master the same disciplines as a real professional player—from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing.

FIFA 08 now gives every football fan the chance to perform pro skills with a true next-generation organic ‘building-block’ system. You can combine tricks and skill moves together to recreate signature moves from the real-world superstars or define your own style of play. You can even capture video of your best moves and goals in-game and upload to the EA Sports Football World website to show off your style and celebrate your glory with friends across the globe.

The award-winning Interactive Leagues debuts on the XBOX 360™ and the PLAYSTATION®3 as part of the deepest online feature set to date. Represent your club online* against your rivals throughout the season in the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division. When they play, you play. Plus, create and organize your own multiplayer Friends Leagues and tournaments with all the tools in-game.

In addition, FIFA 08 is dramatically more real and exhilarating with the inclusion of 620 licensed teams, 30 official leagues, and more than 15,000 players.

Key Features

Clinical Finishing — A true next-generation ball-striking engine calculates shot success by combining an almost infinite number of different contexts, including ball spin, pressure from defenders, player attributes, and even air pressure to recreate the drama and unpredictable nature of shooting.
Intelligent Soccer -- Now featuring AI with a 35-point decision engine which enables players to process 1,000 potential options and reactions every second in real time -- more than 60,000 options every minute -- via a dynamic ‘Threat Map’ system to capture the excitement and realism of soccer.
Be a Pro: Offline Training — Think and react like a real professional soccer player. Play the entire game as a fixed player while getting real time feedback and analysis on the fly. A unique camera angle keeps both player and action in focus, zooming in when you’re on attack.
Pro Skills — A new, organic building-block system enables you to combine tricks and skill moves together to recreate signature moves from the real-world superstars or define your own style of play. Animations can be interrupted at any time to transition into a new move, just like real life.
Manual Controls — Dictate the play with new manual controls for through-passing and crossing. Now use the right-stick to quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want defending, when you want him.
Online Leagues – Create and organize your own multiplayer Friends Leagues and tournaments with all the tools in-game.
EA SPORTS™ Interactive Leagues: – Represent your club online against your rivals throughout the season in the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division. Features weekly in-game pod casts by the development team.
Video Upload: Capture your best goals and highlights in-game and bring them online for the world to see. Upload your highlights to the FIFA 08 website to create the ultimate highlight reel to prove the stories you are telling your friends are all true. Because without the footage, it’s fiction.
Real World Soccer News — Receive up-to-the-minute soccer news and podcasts from media outlets, including ESPN SoccerNet.
Complete Authenticity — Dramatically more authentic and exhilarating with 620 licensed teams, 30 official leagues, and more than 15,000 players.

You must of spent ages writing tht.....

[DankoMostar]

well if were really talking about 08 in here then the improvements for next gen are as follows,

1. More teams and leagues
2. More competitions
3. Tricks
4. More Stadiums
5. Better commentary (Has been missing for years)
6. More in depth Manager mode
7. International management included

I'll stop there for a bit !!!! LOL!!

Everyone thinks what you've said . EA knows what we want . But every year theres only small improvement in the FIFA . I just hope this year will be a lot different . After all , this game is gonna be 20% bigger than the FIFA 07

To make things easier, for everyone, but mainly the developers, make a headline above every idea you make.

I will not make a big first post this year, but I may edit this post later.
