Hello from the Team

[MBarretto24]

Ok I have a question for the Team

Because of the none availability to have a 2 player tussle in the arena which can get very boring on your own and I would like to be able to practice freekicks with actual defenders to bend the ball around before starting a match online or offline and fine-tune those tricks/skills because I find it very hard to pull off a freekick or doing tricks (I've scored 3 Goals from Freekicks in a match since FIFA 06!! they are far to hard! to score from!!, they either go miles off target or the keeper saves it easy and in the arena I can bend the ball in a match I can't)

Anyways My question is this
Do you think that there will be any likelyhood that we will see the Practice/Training Match return in any future FIFA's for the Xbox 360 & PS3?

[PMRFC1873]

I think having a feature where you can edit kits at the end of every season using money in your bank account to spend on the costs would make it more realistic and most importantly, more fun. Afterall, what kinda football team keeps the exact same kit for 15 seasons!?

I'd love to hear what you think, aswell as others on this forum,

Cheers, Tom.

to be honest, this is not an important idea at all. i wouldnt be bothered to change kits myself, plus you recommend that it will add to the reality, you say "what kinda football team keeps the exact same kit for 15 seasons!?!". firstly, there are violation and legal issues as you could possibly putting sponsors onto material that is not their own. you would not be able to change sponsors neither, a major change in kits (for most teams) over the years is changing a major sponsor (despite the fact liverpool have had carlsberg for around 10 years now or more). if you had the freedom to change kits and sponsors then you could put carlsberg on say a french outfit, which is technically forbidden to show alcoholic beverages on french football jerseys. then EA would have to only have a select few sponsors to choose from for each league, which is even more petty work for such a small and insignificant game feature. its a similar issue with boots, you cannot put nike mecurials on Steven Gerrard now can you in FIFA 09, can you? why not? because Gerrard is a representative of Adidas. same deal with shirt sponsorship. (if you can, please tell me, ill put white mecurials on stevie G if its possible)

what you are recommending is VERY petty, im only being honest because you are demanding and demanding replies from the EA representatives who will definitly tell you its not a good idea at all. not only is it something most people dont think about, but the legal issues surrounding it would be too many. in FIFA 2001 you could change kits, but you could only change a select few things, and i think they didnt allow you to keep sponsors if u changed the colour (i remember changing liverpool away kit to green, it was basic and you couldnt put adidas stripes down the side for example, it was basic). either way, it was a very small feature which was immediatly taken away.

please, stop DEMANDING that your idea be considered, these people are VERY busy, and i do not want them to be answering questions as small as this when they can be tending to other more believable ideas. its nothing personal against you mate, its just that other things like "kit numbers in manager mode" or "training mode" should be answered way before "lets change the colour of the teams jersey during a season". its really small, i can tell you now, its not a good idea, EA will answer you if its worth it, which it isnt.

no disrespect intended

You can easily edit the starting XI for all national teams in the game.

I need help- tried with EA customer support to no avail..

I'm in the 5th season of manager mode and the ps3 seizes up when it is simulating other games around the league at 5% every time. It doesn't matter if I play the game or not (Liverpool v. Chelsea, Match Day 1), or if I have pending transfers or players on the block, it freezes every single time. I took the disc out and properly cleaned it (wasn't even dirty or scratched), deleted the game in the Game Data Utility folder and reloaded it, and turned off all my autosave and podcast feeds and still freezes. Anyone have any suggestions or is this a glitch in the system and i am SOL having played 4 full seasons already?

[danpaz07]

freezing happened 2 me 2. it all started wen i downloaded sum1s team formation. then most of fifa froze. especially during gameplay. i had 2 delete the entire fifa save from the hard-drive n start the game again. have you downloaded team formations?

it's happened to me aswell but i haven't downloaded any formations.

EA when are you going to fix this?

[Champion19]

I have created and have been trying to improve a player in the Be a Pro mode and then use him in Tournament Mode. I haven't been able to get the created player (improved version) in Tournament Mode.
For example:
I created Leo Rosas. He's a Striker for Manchester United. He starts as a 58 in Be a Pro. After a numerous games, I get him up to a 74. I want him to be on the Manchester United roster for Tournament Mode, but all I have is the original 58 version of the player on the roster.

If you know how to fix that can you let me know.
Thanks for any help..

[mick_doi]

i just want to say how sick i am off people cheating onlline. EA have to do something about it. The games full of cheaters, i would say at least half my games dont finish because the other kid turns it off in the last minute. why do i not get the points sometimes itll even give him the points, its so annoying makes me not even want to play it. sort it out fifa pro evolutions got the right idea. so please please do something to stop these online cheaters.
And why is it so hard to get a game in the first place takes on average at least 4 go's 4 me

not just that....how bout a real free kick training or a full on training session w/the option for more players in training so we can practice our set pieces, and tactics...is that so hard??

freezing used to happen to me too when i played previous fifas...then i found out it was cus i had too many players...at that time the max amount of players were 30...i would have about close to the max then loan out a few and then buy others and at the end of the season when the loaned out players returned i would have over 30 players and the next season the game would freeze

he has to become captain first....then make a change to the sqaud then save ur squads.........note that any changes u made to ur squad in the main menu b4 u started bap seasons w/ur player will be overwritten

example: u started bap seasons w/leo rosasgot him up to 80...then u save and quit bap seasons and create a few new players...u save em to ur squads and continue bap seasons w/rosas...he now becomes captain and has a rating of 88 so now u wanna save him so u can use him in other game modes like tournament and manager mode....u make a change to the squad and it will prompt u to save ur squad i(if autosave is disabled)...if u saved it, he is now available in all modes w/the rating of 88 and the captains armband.....but... the 3 created characters r not there anymore.

so heres hoping that u didnt make any serious changes like i did the first time around...i had a player w/a 90 rating after playing 3 seasons and saved him and realized all my other created characters werent there anymore

how do u check your fifa ranking? for ps3 fifa 09??

[ILCaesar]

Why can't we have the old lobby format back where you see level, connection quality, and headset all at once? It's a lot more convenien't having it all there from the go.

[indiscriminate]

I would like to draw the 'Teams' attention to the 'Online Changes' thread started by gcooley.

Please comment!

[cooler08]

I just read this:

Electronic Arts has revealed that it's to reduce its worldwide work force by 10 per cent, or some 1000 jobs

Will this have a negative effect on the development of Fifa 2010 by any chance?

It wouldnt be realistic if you can change the time and Weather yourself in MM. It should change at random though, so in the winter your more likely to get rain or snow matches than the rest of the season. and some games will be played mid-week at Night. also when you get an FA Cup Replay this should be played at Night.

Hello EA, I wish this message was more upbeat, but alas, I'm crushed.

I've played 10 MM's and every single one has locked up/froze/hung/crashed after I've simmed a game, or immediately after I've played a game. I've tried just about everything under the sun from making no changes to rosters, not using created players, using different teams and leagues, auto-save vs manual saves, to deleting all my FIFA saves and starting over: nothing has worked.

I'm very disappointed for two reasons. First, because MM is my absolute favorite, and for me, it doesn't work. There is absolutely no point in playing because my hard work in that MM will be lost when I run in to the glitch.

But more importantly, I'm extremly disappointed because EA has yet to acknowledge this as an issue. I've gathered the threads from the FIFA 09 Feedback Forums regarding this issue, just to show you that I'm not alone. Please, please, please at least address this issue officially and I'll feel much happier!

I refuse to play FIFA until this problem is either acknowledged or fixed!
