Default My fifa 10 improvement ideas

OK, there are some things I've wanted to be included in a FIFA game for a while now-here they are:

HANDBALL-WOULD MAKE MORE INTERESTING FOULS AND FREE-KICK/PEN DECISIONS.

TIME AND WEATHER-THE SKY/CONDITIONS SHOULD CHANGE THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE MATCH: E.G 5PM KICK-OFF, LIGHT AT FIRST THEN GETS DARKER/STARTS RAINING ETC. THIS IS ONE OF MY MAIN PRIORITIES FOR IMPROVEMENTS!

INCLUDE MORE APPAREL-WITH THIS I MEAN INCLUDE NEW BOOTS LIKE THE NEW NIKE VAPORS SO THE GAME STAYS WITH REAL LIFE.

MORE REAL CUPS AND TROPHY CELEBRATIONS-THEY SHOULD INCLUDE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN MANAGER MODE AND SHOW HOW THE TROPHY IS PRESENTED INSTEAD OF PLAYERS LYING ON THE FLOOR
THIS IS ALSO ONE OF MY MAIN IMPROVEMENTS!

COMMENTARY!-I GET KINDA ANNOYED WHEN IT COMES TO THIS LOL, AND I RECKON THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE COMMENTATORS AND ALSO I GET KINDA ANNOYED WHEN RECOGNIZED PLAYERS' NAMES AREN'T SPOKEN FOR SOME REASON.

NEW IDEA-TIME WASTING-I THINK, AS OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED, THERE SHOULD BE QUICK FREE-KICKS, AND NO CUT SCENE AFTER A FOUL FOR A FREE-KICK. ALSO TIME SHOULD CONTINUE TICKING ON DURING GOALIE'S KICK RUN-UP, CORNERS, THROW INS, SET PIECES....ETC. EDIT-I HAVE READ THAT QUICK-FREE KICKS AND 'REFEREE CARDING' WILL BE INCLUDED.

EDITS: I AM PUTTING SOME IDEAS FROM THE LAST PAGES INTO THE FIRST POST TO SAVE SOME TIME:

1. IF PEOPLE WANT BOOT, KIT, CLUB UPDATES ETC THEY COULD MAKE THAT ANNUAL UPDATE THING LIKE ON PES2009.

2. SOMETHING LIKE THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE FROM 2006 WORLD CUP. IN THIS YOU BASICALLY PLAY A CERTAIN MATCH AND START FROM A CERTAIN POINT AND HAVE TO DO SOME OBJECTIVES. AN EXAMPLE MATCH FOR THIS COULD BE THE 2009 CHAMPS LEAGUE FINAL: SO OBJECTIVES WOULD BE TO EQUALISE AND EVENTUALLY WIN, PLAYING AS MAN UTD FROM THE 70TH MIN OR SO.

I think these are reasonable upgrades and would greatly improve the whole realism and enjoyment of the game. Also, I'm speaking on behalf of myself but i think most people would be more eager to buy this game if it had all this!

Thanks for reading.

Nah, handballs are lala, I agree.
Just pretend every handball call is waived by the ref because of ball to hand.
Done.

HANDBALL-WOULD MAKE MORE INTERESTING FOULS AND FREE-KICK/PEN DECISIONS. - Handball was awful when included, if they were to implement this it would need to be less frequent and not when the ball bounces by your side every time

TIME AND WEATHER-THE SKY/CONDITIONS SHOULD CHANGE THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE MATCH: E.G 5PM KICK-OFF, LIGHT AT FIRST THEN GETS DARKER/STARTS RAINING ETC. - They already announced Dynamic lighting would not be added this time round meaning no changing in lighting or weather conditions.

INCLUDE MORE APPAREL-WITH THIS I MEAN INCLUDE NEW BOOTS LIKE THE NEW NIKE VAPORS SO THE GAME STAYS WITH REAL LIFE. - Not exactly the most important of things and means time wasted that could be spent on improving more important graphical elements

MORE REAL CUPS AND TROPHY CELEBRATIONS-THEY SHOULD INCLUDE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN TOURNAMENT MODE OR IN MANAGER MODE AND SHOW HOW THE TROPHY IS PRESENTED INSTEAD OF PLAYERS LYING ON THE FLOOR - Champions league rights are owned by PES right now in an exclusive deal. This means FIFA can't have it. Trophy celebrations haven't been added either and this has been confirmed although I do think they should add this.

COMMENTARY!-I'M A KIND OF FUSSY GUY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS LOL, AND I RECKON THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE COMMENTATORS AND ALSO I GET KINDA ANNOYED WHEN RECOGNIZED PLAYERS' NAMES AREN'T SPOKEN FOR SOME REASON. -Commentary is always going to have an element of repetativness, especially when you are playing the game frequently. Also it takes a lot of coding to make it perfect. It's easy to say "it should be better" but EA know this and it would require a lot of time to improve it which has instead been spent on gameplay and rightfully so.
Most of this has been discussed in the stickys.

Default Good ideas

I've looked through more threads and i came past an idea i liked, and i am NOT taking credit for this. The guy said that the arena should be open to invite some mates to try out strategies etc. If FIFA have already developed practice mode for a return then so be it but if that's still in development i, for one, would welcome the 'arena with friends' idea as an alternative!

Again... to be considered, the main issue is really the AI. Eye candy can be added but will not make the game better. Better AI however, will..

1. IMPROVE AI. I actually just enjoy to sit back and watch the computer have a go at each other and I gotta say the AI is very lamentable sometimes. In Fifa09 they made it better but still not perfect. The computer is awful when it comes to corners, the players don't have enough intuition or something to go for the ball. Instead they just stand around and wait for the ball. This is also the case when you do some basic passes. They just stand there waiting for the ball (where some faster players can intercept the ball so easily), but isn't the modern game based on movement on the part of the players?

The goalkeepers are generally quite good, but the defense sometimes really lets them down. They (again) just stand around while the opposing player runs at full speed past them clean on goal. There is NO ANTICIPATION in FIFA series so far. The AI is not good, it doesn't learn , it keeps making the same mistakes.

For me, also the worst is when a player is clean on goal, instead of shooting he takes another step further (either at full speed or tries a weird side-step trick) but by that time the keeper dives on it and makes a save, ruining the move altogether. The players DON'T THINK, or think in a very weird way. Would you rather try a shot or push on and completely waste the opportunity? I'd opt for the first one.


2. IN-GAME GRAPHICS. This section will be a lot shorter. Basically, I would love to see more pre-game graphics, like team badges appearing and so forth. Even when the team line-up appears, it would be cool to make this effect like in the Champions' League where they show the players names and numbers, then those elements are layered on a picture of the pitch. It gives the game a TV-look which I believe would be really cool. Also, instead of the huge box that comes up at half-time, it would be cool to see something smaller and more refined (eh-hem, as in Champs' league for instance).


3. MENU NAVIGATION. Okay, the menu navigation was always god-awful in FIFA. When the user selects his/her team, you have to navigate through every team by alphabetical order. Who came up with that stuff? It's easy, in some instances, make a screen where people can directly click and select their team. MUCH FASTER, don't you think?


4. IN-GAME SFX. I know FIFA uses anthems for international games, which was a great improvement when they first came up. But from FIFA08 to 09, THEY USED THE SAME SFX. They are low-end type of chants. Would it be too much to ask for decent renditions of the anthems, even with lyrics? I mean come on, we're in 21st century, and it's just a bunch of mp3 files...


5. LEARN THE RULES OF SOCCER. I'm not sure where exactly they develop the FIFA series, but sometimes the rules of the game are not respected at all. Especially when it comes to offsides. There are specific rules in regards to offsides that can potentially cancel them. I think if a defender deflects the ball, the offside doesn't count, because it's not a clean ball anymore.


Oh, and please bring back the snow, fifa 2002 had snow and it made playing quite challenging but also fun.

Default More ideas and 'announcements'?

OK, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT A POST I READ ABOUT THE A.I, AND I JUST REMEMBERED THE KEEPERS. HAVE YOU NOTICED THEY SOMETIMES DIVE TO CATCH A BALL THAT'S TRAVELING LIKE 1MPH? I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU GET A HEADED BACK PASS IN THE 90TH MIN TRYING TO QUICKLY GET THE BALL FORWARD FROM YOUR KEEPER.

SECONDLY, NOT A MAJOR THING BUT I RECKON PENALTIES SHOULD HAVE A BIT MORE VARIETY OF HOW THE PLAYER SHOOTS THE BALL.

THIRDLY, CROWD REACTIVITY!-THIS IS VERY STUPID SOMETIMES E.G CELEBRATIONS ARE A BIT MUTED FOR A LAST MINUTE EQUALISER, AND BASICALLY NO REAL REACTION IS SEEN OR HEARD WHEN A PENALTY IS SAVED. ALSO I RECKON AWAY STADIUMS SHOULD BOO THE TEAM AND ONE THING IVE NOTICED SINCE FIFA 06-THERE IS NO REAL EDGE TO DERBY GAMES ANYMORE, OR CUP FINALS. THE COMMENTATORS SHOULD BE PROGRAMMED TO TALK A BIT ABOUT THE RIVALRY BETWEEN THE CERTAIN CLUBS, OR WHEN SOMEONE WINS THE CUP FINAL ETC ETC.

FOR 'ANNOUNCEMENTS', A PREVIOUS POST SAID THAT MANY OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED HAS 'ALREADY BEEN RULED OUT'. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE FIFA PRODUCERS SAY THE GAME IS ABOUT 65% DONE AND THEY SAY THEY WANT FEEDBACK. THE IMPROVEMENTS I SUGGEST ARE NOT VERY MAJOR, I THINK, AND THEY ARE MOSTLY GENERAL GAME THINGS BUT WHICH WOULD MAKE THE GAME A LOT MORE REALISTIC. SURE, THEY WILL IMPLEMENT SOME SORT OF NEW GAMEPLAY FEATURE...AN IMPROVEMENT TO MM ETC, BUT THESE GENERAL THINGS HAVE BEEN CALLED FOR FOR A WHILE NOW AND WOULD MAKE THE GAME BETTER.

PS. WHEN I SAY CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SHOULD BE INCLUDED I AM REFERRING TO MM, E.G IT WOULD SAY NEXT FIXTURE- ECC/EUROPEAN CUP/CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. I DO NOT MEAN A WHOLE TOURNAMENT WITH ALL THE OFFICIAL SPONSORS ETC WHICH I KNOW PES HAVE THE LICENCES FOR.

THANKS FOR READING.

A new feature for fifa 10 they say will be a new shooting system. I can't really comment on it till i witness it but i just remembered fifa 08, funnily enough, had a good shooting system in regards to realism as you had to take balance into account etc when shooting, it was also quite hard to score so the real screamers felt good. If they take a bit of this and make it better i'm looking forward to it!

Uhmm, back to the thread.

I also wish to add something to my big list above there, somewhere. It concerns commentaries, I would love to hear the stadium speaker announce the goalscorer (where available) , I mean they can't possibly do ALL the players, but those in major leagues they should.

uhuh, sorry for the nonsense in previous posts, just a friend of mine messing around, but in regards to your idea-it already happens although i'd welcome a bit more emotion in the announcers voice.

If Fifa09 or Fifa10?

Coz in 09, I checked all the announcer things and it's actually quite random stuff being said. Like check your tickets and stuff like that. I didn't come across announcers saying something like "Goal scored by XXX". Most of the announcer audio files have a strong echo effect so it's hard to hear what they say anyway during a game.

I could be wrong.
