FIFA 09 ideas and suggestions

[andy7391]

Dear EA,
After playing Fifa 08 on ps2 & psp, I was disappointed that the Australian A-League wasn't realistic enough. Apart from Juninho and a few other players, most player faces don't look anything like the players that compete in the A-League. Also, during gameplay the commentators only name a few players eg. While Being Sydney FC the commentators only mention ''Juninho''. I would like to see these improvements in Fifa 09.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

I'd like to see an animated arsene wenger on the sidelines, and next-gen for the pc.

I think an owner mode would be cool, you could create a team and stadium, build prestige and draw in players; manage funds, hire coaches etc.

The A.I in 08 is to the extreme!- Needs to be more fan friendly
e.x.- I can beat a 5 star team by 10 points on Amateur- but anything higher and- whoa- it takes me 'til the 80th minute to score 1 goal (pro and up)
I actually think Legendary can be easier than professional sometimes
Basically, the game should be 1st time user friendly and also have those challenging levels for long tome players.

I also like the Idea of visible referees

a be a pro season/ career mode (create your own player- much like Madden 07-0

and a ranked be a pro mode online


*one other thing that bothers me- when you know you are offside- you can't move your player away from the ball and you get the offside call- its really annoyingand i would like to avoid that

[ReliablePhoenix]

Pretty much, see JoJoe's thread

[Pistoljero]

I would like to have more options when making your own club like badges i would like to make a circle and in the inside another circle like Bayern Mun.And kits when you would sign a sponsor you could give it on the kit.

[wood2713]

Here are some things I would like to see in Fifa '09

1. Being able to upload your face to your created player
2. Having a game-break option in the middle of play or at the end of your game to see "highlights" of another game. Like seeing a freekick for a game-winner or upset matches, etc There was some games back in the day that had this and I thought it was pretty cool.
3. Better fan atmosphere (chants, flairs, etc)
4. Hand balls? Is that even in '08? I haven't came across any in 4 seasons
5. Weather? I havent had any rain or night games (Man U). I hear it rains alot in England...Have the pitch get tore up, soggy, divets, make wind a factor? Make cold weather games where players wear field gloves and when they exhale you can see their breath.
6. Have players exchange jerseys at the end of matches.
7. Way more scoring celebrations.
8. Have committing penalties be an attribute you can improve. I.E The higher your penalty rating, the less often you will COMMIT a foul. Also, another attribute where the higher your rating, the more likely you will GET fouled.
9. Being able to get called up for your national team based on your performance.
Thanks

I've got many handballs when i do sliding tackle and if u do tournament and you want to choose weather then just click match setup and ypu can choose when ou play(day,night) or what weather is it!

LOL, you'll never get NG on PC - The capabilities on PC is far in advance of that on NG consoles, but due to everyones PC's being so different they produce a game for PC that is likely to run on everyones system.

NG consoles have the same format throughout, so the development is different, developers can focus on using the specs available to the best possible outcome unlike the PC

[Avoidconfusion]

Let us create custom formations!!!!

1. Make players look less FAT in replays, and Free Play mode.
2. Don’t put sweat on players 2 minutes in, make it only 2nd half onwards where sweat is visible
3. Make free kicks easier, Ronaldo scores 3/4 of his free kicks these days, I can’t even get one with him on amateur.
4. Create player exchanges
5. Create realistic crowd. (If you can randomly generate faces on scouted players, why not do these with crowds.
6. Dual Play Free Play Mode
7. Interviews with media etc.
8. Have Full Training Mode in Manager mode
9. Prevent commentators stopping trivial commentry in the middle of a goal abrubtly, when a player reaches the box commentry should stop auto.
10. Create several universal celebrations.
11. Create your face in Manager and Create-a-Player mode using saved JPGs like PES2008.
12. Assign Vice Captain
13. More time for transfers
14. Have moral Problems with star players from big clubs occasionally, eg. Ronaldinho
15. Cut the rivalry transfers never accepted, if the price is right players should be swapped
16. Get Requests to be International manager
17. Get Requests to go to another squad mid-season
18. Spend hours alone on the top 200 rated players creating the best face possible
19. Don’t make Ronaldinho the best player in the game just because he’s your posted boy, I mean cmon? he is worth more than Ronaldo even though they same skill but Ronaldo grows faster.
20. Add Referee on pitch
21. Ability to change players haircuts (May sound stupid, but I’m sure its not hard to do, I mean Ronaldo’s hair can become a mohawk sometimes)
22. Make crowd go absolutely berserk after late wins
23. Show cut scenes of fans leaving during game if a bad loss is taking place
24. Have realistic sponsors
25. Have POTY Awards, for the entire football world, on manager mode at the end of a season
26. Have ways of extra money, eg, selling interview to journalist, selling photo rights etc.
27. Bring back Visual Sim
28. Get rid of the lala 20th vs 1st draw that happens nearly every time when you quick sim on Manager
29. Show more cutscenes when players miss penaltys, Pull up socks before free kicks, and penalties
30. Create a higher rating system, where the best player starts and 94 “Kaka” and “Ronaldo” etc.
31. Create more 16 year olds in Transfer market
32. Choose goalie in Free Play Mode
33. Get rid of Jumping (Who does that?)
34. Make it harder to add player growth to goalies, in a season you can change a goalie from 82 to 91.
35. Make interface text bigger, and make scores and player tabs at the bottom in a game bigger, for those that still have the ****ty TV, you cant read the writing.
36. Have monthly updates, which include Transfers, player rankings EG. If there is some 17 yo player who has never played a 1st team match before, starts off at 72, but then in real life scores a goal in the 1sts his rating goes up to like 76. Hairstyles, and boots updated etc. (This will keep the game feeling fresher and fresher)
37. Have the chance to choose how players wear their shirt, eg. Long shirt but sleeves pulled, also give the option of arm-length thermal skins same colour as kit, but with t-shirt on top (Wayne Rooney)

38. When free kick or penalty gets awarded, bring up menu of who to take it with skills etc. but have the default player as the first person highlighted to chose
39. Make it less likely to go over the bar from headers after receiving corners and crosses
40. In penalties and free kicks have lines on the 'POWER' bar to show what is the perfect power to kick.
41. Change ECC and EFA to Uefa Champions League and Uefa Cup
42. Be able to see substitutes warming up + interacting with departing player
43. Be able to mix + match kits (Manchester United wear either black, white or red shorts when they are wearing their red jersey)
DO It Guys!!!
It will work

[RussellCro]

We need Scottish stadiums on Fifa 09.

Hampden Park is a must!

If possible Celtic Park and Ibrox.


Plus more third kits are needed

FIFA 09 ideas and suggestions

You're being a teeny bit too early

[superstowe]

STADIUM CREATOR- I think that we should be able to select a base (base, square etc) then you can put blocks of seats down. They would have different shapes styles ( curved, staright, steep, press, dugout and vip). Then you would once you have done all of that you can put in extras like, vip boxes, tv studios, big screens, score board, roofs, glass. And then you can do the outside with stuff like glass windows, car parks, posters and megastores.
Maybe you should only put this on PS3 and XBOX 360 and PC.

[superstowe]

also get A REFF! AND INTERNATIONAL MAGAMENT IN MANAGER MODE! AND U SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE A CLUB HALF WAY THROUGH A SEASON OR MID SEASON! AND TOURS IN PRE SEASON

[r02bapurdie]

indoor football and more stadiums like city of manchester or all premiership stadium
more league like scotland league 1 2 3
more cup like uefa cup and champion league

[Luis Ryan]

FIFA 08 was good. but compared to other games like NFL and NBA. Its easy to see what is better:/

To improve i would put

1) Make A Stadium (like you can in NFL)
2) Make A League (if not put some more in)
3) Shirt Sleeve Length
4) Improve edit mode (more boots and designs like PES)
5) International Managment in Managger Mode
6) Official TV so its presented on MOTD or sky
7) Diving
More celebrations
9) Official cups like champions league not ecc and american ones too
10) World cups etc
11) Loan deals for months in manager mode
12) Let us edit player hair etc
13) Trophy presentations (if community shield then its not really a celebration more of clap but for world cups have flares and tears etc)
14) See managers and allow us to do the warm up
15) Do a FIFA 09 cup. every club team on game takes part. worth loads of fan shop point

if this is included then PES will go bust

I'm feeling that it's a little fake.
You can tell just from the poor grammar and spelling.

lol its true

[xywa1906]

1. fix the color of jerseys the referees are wearing. in 08 version a lot of times the refs are wearing the same color as one of the teams!!! How is that realistic.

2. the way the defence reacts. many times the defending players on my team are "moving away" from the attacker and when I switch to control them its too late.

3. In manager mode, during transfer season, when I am about to sign a player I should be able to test him in a friendly game - this is possible in real life and it would be really cool to do this in next fifa.

4. I agree with others, bring be a pro mode to another level, more details, more options etc.

5. Transfer season, bring it to another level. let the player control the transfer/loan price and negotiation process. it has been very limited.

6. International duties, other clubs should ask for you as a manager in manager mode or as a player in be a pro mode.

that is it for now...

[Wendyakent]

In Fifa 09 I Would Like To See

.Managers On The Sidelines Shouting At Players
.Be Able To Swap Players In Transfer Window Not Jus Buy,Loan And Free Agent
.Be Able To Dive
.3rd Kits Available Already (Dont Have To Buy Them)
.Goal Of The Month (Player Who Wins Get Money For Their Club)
.Team Rankings
.Player Rankings (Best Rated Player Gets Money For Their Club)
.Variety Of Commentators And What They Say
.More Choice Of Footballs
.More Realistic Crowds

[contraflow]

Not that I'll be buying FIFA 09 but I'd like to see:

1. A variation in the number of people in the crowd for each game (or, at least, an indication in percentage terms of how full the stadium was for each game - I can never rememeber if an income of £328,492 means that the stadium is 100% full or only 90% full or whatever)
2. Income from TV companies broadcasting the match
3. More realistic amounts generated through sales of merchandise etc
4. More accurate prize money (I've won a cup many times and ended up losing money when, week-to-week, my team makes money just playing in the league)

That's all I can think of right now...

[Coupé-Liverpool!]

What i think they should add is a few things;

1. Non-League teams such as Havant And Waterlooville.
2. Takeovers from big companies
3. Shirt sponsors (e.g. samsung pay to sponsor west hams shirt etc.)
4. Skills mini-game like in Fifa Street 2
5. And Last but not Least; if you agree with me i feel that they should also add Womens football league since the rise in popularity.

Liverpool Thru n Thru

- Roberto Baggio
- Daniel Passarella
- Marco Van Basten


and more defensive midfielders and defenders to make the sides more catchy

better legends for classic XI
Pelé
George Best
diego maradona
johan cruyff
dennis law

[madridboy86]

1, more stadium
2, more league's n clubs
3, rival scores like in wc 06
4, better challenge mode relive arsenal beaten liverpool on the last day on the season
5, still on point 4 use the real teams that played on that day not the present team some of the player where not alive
6, better classic XI team
7, more commentator like john motson, mark lawerson, chris waddle, gary linker
8, match of the day highlights
9, if the game is live then it should go in the studio where the game is
10, national anthems like O'flower of scotland n god save the queen
11, more competition

the list will go on
