I'd love to see the license acquired for the USL. They aren't that good a league, but if division 1, 2, and the PDL were included it would over double the amount of north american teams by adding 1 license. I think this would really be nice for many of the americans and canadians buying the game. I realize that there are much better leagues to add, but this would be something I'd love to see as an american soccer fan.

SchmidtXC · 09-04-2009, 08:52 PM

I'd also think it would be interesting to add the Conference Nationa, North, and South to the english leagues. One of the things I really enjoyed with manager mode was taking a team like Dag and Red in league 2, and trying to work them up to the premier league. I really think you could dramatically improve the manager mode aspect of the game for many players by adding these leagues.

BritishNproud · 09-04-2009, 11:24 PM

If they added another english leauge instead of russian leauge or something the uproar on this site would break the forums.

SchmidtXC · 09-04-2009, 11:49 PM

I think that there are a good number of players, espescially in countries which are poorly represented in the game, that take some of the lower english league teams and play with them. I'm not involved with the negotiations, but I would guess the reason the russian leagues, greek leagues, and other big names and leagues are missing is the money involved with their licensing. I don't think adding the conference national league will cost very much, they'd probably sign the agreement for next to nothing. I'd love to see more leagues involved in the game, but I'd rather see several smaller leagues in england, north america, south america, asia, and africa added than to see EA spend all it's available licensing money on one or two leagues.

As with each iteration of FIFA, we are always looking to include the most up-to-date assets!

BTW, I do like the the new England kit. Longsleeves look better than the short sleeves though...

CFC | Koop · 10-04-2009, 07:34 AM

Please Nathan and Frank, change the badge in manager mode to the team that won it, and if a championship team gets promoted then give them the EPL badge, not the Championship one.

Cheers.

Though I think this would be a good idea I think the BSP only would be the best addition as it would be impossible to keep the North/South up to date. But like somebody has said, there would be an uproar if another English League was added.

Bad Times.

-Panos99- · 10-04-2009, 07:45 PM

Is there in any of your plans to add the Greek Superleague in? I remember it was in until Fifa 2001 but it's teams were reduced to 4 (Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, PAOK, AEK). By surprise, I have seen many people here requesting it and Greece also has Greek teams in European Tournaments every year, so it would be good to add it.

Benfica007 · 10-04-2009, 08:45 PM

Hey Nathan and Frank. i think that there should be more colours for the boots available in the customization section of the game. For example have a pair of each coloured mercurial vapor 4 instead of just the blue ones. and an i dea of how to set that up, in case you do happen to do this, have kind of like a drop down menu for it. so display the type of boot, and then when you select that boot, have the different colours appear beside it, and as you highlight each colour, have the boot display it. get what im saying? i think that this would be soo sweet, because it would add to the individuality of each player in the game. and for kits, have the possibility of choosing the jersey shorts and socks so that you can change it up. for example, my fave team SL Benfica, in some games uses a red jersey, black shorts and white socks, when usually they have red/white/red. so that would also be good because it would give another feel of reality and allow you to differentiate between different teams while in play.

anyways, just some ideas. Feel free to respond with feedback.

I would like to see the licensing of more African nations. (e.g. Ivory Coast, Nigeria, mAli etc.) Oh, for Christ sake would EA ever sort out the Netherlands!

tunde12 · 10-04-2009, 09:21 PM

the best thing to do is make it possible to edit the colours of the boots

yup and do you have a partnership with adidas

imnotreyes · 11-04-2009, 03:15 AM

Hello Frank,

What are the chances of creating some sort of updates for boots,throughout the season?

Perhaps an item on Xbox store where you could buy updated boots throughout the season,the problem is that FIFA added many nice boots this season but essentially many of them were not being worn by Christmas, thus the realism suffered. I know gameplay is the main focus, but I have to admit I love the authentic and realistic boots on players. Some type of update where we could even use Points to buy them would be a great addition. However a big issue on this for me would be whether or not you could use them online in Ranked matches. Primarly all I play is ranked and I don't like that you cannot change your players boots for Ranked matches, obviously all the squads need to the same, but surely there could be a way to keep the real squads but allow us to edit player appearances for Ranked matches.Here he we have a lot of great boots, but many players aren't assigned boots so we end up playing Ranked matches with loads of players in the awful EA generic boots.

The ability to edit players during Manager Mode also needs to be allowed, I know you can do this in Master League on PES and I think that is an essential item that needs to be added. I also think the "EA Boots" are a complete joke and they look absolutely ridiculous, they should just use normal boots for all players.

Thanks for listening, and I look forward to further discussions on boots, etc. Boots and realism is of real importance to me, and FIFA has made great steps forward in this area, but they can continue to do more. I love a lot of the aspects of the older PES games in terms of editing, I know a lot of people don't care but I love to have the ability to edit my game to make it the most realistic possible.

Thanks.

coolhead33 · 11-04-2009, 09:40 AM

On my manager mode there is a glitch where my created players shirt number is 128 but where the one and two would be there is a checkered box covering both numbers so i suggest you reintroduce the edit kit number feature to stop glitches like this happening again and because people like it.

coolhead33 · 11-04-2009, 07:14 PM

You should carry on going past 90 minutes to see the time and make the referee blow the wistle before it reaches the next minute because im always like 10 minutes into stopage time when it finily finishes.

I know it is not your department but i dont know where else to put it.
