FIFA 2005 General Requests

[Hakeem]

READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING

 

[Larry]

-Lisence tournements, such as the Champions League. EA Were able to get the lisence for EURO2004, so you should be able to get UCL aswell.

-International Competition. Why have national teams but no tournemnets? Was it to make more money selling it seperately as a EURO2004 product? Isnt this susposed to be the fan's game?

-Downloadable content for gamers playing on the Playsation 2. They bought your game, so they should have updates aswell. Maybe a possible link with soccergaming download center?

-Scenarios where tiem is running out and you need to score. You could have England vs Greece (WC 2002 Qualifier), Man United vs Bayern Munchen (Champions League 99), France vs Italy (Euro 2000 Final) and so on.

-Bring back the Golden Goal mode from FIFA99. It was a great game playing with friends, and I can imagine it being popular as an online option.

-More Goal Celebrations, such as running around the corner flag, or the player kicking the ball back into the goal on the rebound before he runs to celebrate.

-We need an Edit mode, and create a player. We need to be able to put ourselves in FIFA. We need to be able to edit players when they get new haircuts and so on.

-When you record the commentary for the game, you should make them say every phrase 3 or 4 times, so when we play the game, it doesnt seem so repeating.

-Greater Team Management. Why is there a player swap feature in FIFA2004? What use is that? We should be able to transfer players to clubs, not swap players.

for once please make Attributes work , even PES has em crap
just because i raise the difficulty level does not mean that CPU teams defender rated at 60 in pace, will outrun my 100 Rated Micheal Owen!

Raising te difficulty bar should mean the AI is more Intelligent, not faster then ur team.
I repeat, there is no Reason what so ever y a guy rated 60 in pace will outrun someoen rated as 100, no matter the Difficulty setting!

I want POLISH LEAGUE!! and an INGAME editor


EDIT: Yes the INGAME editor is very important,this request cannot be repeated in this thread, but EA should understand that this is one of the most needed and wanted things for fans. It does not have to be big, just so you can change numbers, skin color, and hair, and even att. if EA want to be kind.

 

[Funky--K]

creation center IN the game with stadium editor

indoor soccer

more complete training mode, like choosing the players to practice, make team management in it, choose who to take set pieces, etc

training mode IN the carreer mode affecting player's performance on the matches

 

[Pieter]

Feyenoord stadium(De kuip)

 

[syaz_wan03]

YES !! UCL WILL be VERy2 Cool!

perhaps ... indoor soccer...(futsal) coz.. futsal is a sport under Fifa too!

 

[pennington10]

More Feeling. Don't make goals so cheap it should be a reward to score in the game not something you can do whenever you want. Maybe put in a sim and arcade mode so for those who like to shot from all over the place score can and for those who prefer to create goals realistic have a sim mode.

Better online play for the PS2 it needs to be overhauled and brought up to date with all other PS2 online games.

Clean up Corner kicks. They system is good but it is always cluttered in the box there will never be only three players in the box for a corner. Make it where you have players screening the goal keeper and setting picks.

More faces. I know it is impossible to put in a face for every player but more genric faces would be nice. It is kind of weak when you play as a lower division and it looks like everyone on the team is brothers. They all have plastic hair and some have bad handlebar moustaches. I mean you will have only three different faces for an entire team of players.

All in all I think the ground work for a great game is there it just needs to be tweaked a little bit. The game keeps taking good steps forward and it should continue in the future.

 

[valioso]

more fluid animations, better crossing and air system, overhaul the off the ball system so it actually works better.. instead of being so accurate, long range shots are a joke, better scale relation between goalie and the goal size. I want to put power on the corner kicks.. is too easy right now.

 

[mojito19]

EA must improve the stadiums, they are soooo poor, and also the pitches, are awful, bad illumination, maybe add some weather effects like rain, snow.... to make the game more realistic, also when it's sunny, to make it look true
-make better hands and arms.....they look like toys

more south american teams
good cup celebrations (cinematics) to make you feel pleased when you finish a cup

 

[Punkt]

-Official competitions (UCL, UEFA Cup)
-More teams in ROTW section from around the world and all national teams (with qualifying to WC)
-More real stadiums (especially some Euro2004 grounds) and more generic stadiums
-Indoor Soccer

 

[MancoBlanco]

-Competitions all over the world!!
Like Australia,Cote d'Ivore,Chile and so on.

-MORE competitions (Espaccialy UCL,Uefa Cup and Copa Libertados)

-CC ingame

 

[Lennon]

-Argentinian and mexican league
-Copa Libertadores with the best teams from each country in SA
-Licensed tournaments
-Improvements in the controls
-Dynamic weather
-Longer career mode with more options (real training and all that stuff)
-Improvements in the goal and cup celebrations

 

[kwan0023]

First all the National teams need to be in the game, I want to be able to edit player's shoes, and head bans. Bring up the difficulty level on defence.

Add all the Major Tournments(WORLD CUP, EURO, AFC, COPA AMERICA, OCEANIA)

Also add weather effects(rain, snow, and wind) make the corner kicks realistics, more crowd interaction, and player celebrations and make the cup winning scenes better

Make the training just like madden so that you can add points to some players with specific training programs and that you actually take part in the training just like MADDEN

All in all FIFA is a good game but it could a great game on the same level as the Madden football series all EA has to do is listen to what the fans want and take the time on the game.

And please improve the controls, and online play

All the CORRECT STADIUMS PLEASE

I will be looking forward to the new game and to see if EA finally listened to it's fans
Thanks

 

[fulhamfc]

by fifa 2003 without you must replace it for a another one
and the same with kits'stadiums'leagues'countrys'
and that you can
give keepers different gloves instead of that all keepers

[King Bob]

Ok here we go:

-PES 3 Gameplay *gg* or at least NO more fu.cking scripted + bad gameplay
-in game editor
-official cups
-indoor stadium
-better performence
-easier menue
-that u can import and use as much specific boots, faces etc. as u want
-umirrored boots, gloves.....
-u should be able to configure controls without a patch
-training challenges (like in PES 3)
-game mode: penalty shootout
-custom cups etc...

Uuuh EA will definetly listen to our wished becoz EA does not just want to make money without listening to what the fans say.......

 

[Lonestarr022]

I feel that weather is very important since they said they wanted to put it in FIFA 04, thats should be one of the big priorities this time around.


Multiplayer mode with more than 8 players. 8 just isnt enough,
and bring back the league option that u had in FIFA 03

Add the Turkish league, and Argentine league.

Im going to list teams they should add to the game, that were not in FIFA 2004 (not counting turkish teams and argentine league teams cuz i said they both should be added)

AEK Athens (Greece)
Slavia Praha (Czech Rep.)
Dynamo Kyiv, Shakhtar, and Dnipro (Ukraine)
Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel-Aviv (Israel)
CSKA, Lokomotiv, and Spartak Moskva (Russia)
Crvena Zvezda and Partizan (Serbia & Montenegro)
Hajduk and Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
Dinamo, Steaua, and Rapid Bucuresti (Romania)


everything else has been mentioned by other ppl already, so no need for me to be redundant.

RECENTLY EDITED 3/30/04

ATRIBUTES TO MATTER- Speed and stamina ect. to be more noticable in the game , even a 70 in speed should eventually be able to outrun a 60 depending on their staminia, maybe the shouldn't be able to run that fast for that long. a 63 stamina player even though he may be 100 in speed might slow down after a bit because he is tired. over a long distance, the player with more stamina should be able to catch him. (not only when bar goes all the way down) just an idea

DYNAMIC WEATHER- shouldn't be there just for show, should actually make a difference

A MORE LENGTHY AND IN DEPTH CAREER MODE- should be longer and take you even more into the management aspects. other teams should trade with each other too.

SET PIECES- set pieces were great in 2004, but in a corner, you should still be able to do a short pass. Maybe even more freedom in designing the plays. More freedom in execution so it doesn't seem as scripted. instead of the ball landing exactly where the target indicator is and have it be a set location you should be able to choose the spot where you want to kick it. Then use a power and accuracy meter to see how accurate you kick it, higher attributed players make more accurate kicks. If kick is innacurate target indicator should move (while ball is in air) maybe also because of the wind.

TRAP ANIMATIONS- more animations for traps, in off the ball control, there were only a few, and the ball always seemed to go to the chest. Maybe more elaborate turns to lose the defender, like a scissors turn or flicking it back over your head and the defenders head. Even some difficulty in trapping it for bad players, or using differant parts of the body.

MOVES- easier to execute moves, not so easy to pull off. Incorparate skill into the move even more than 2004. Such as average player stumbles but does not lose the ball. or bad player pulls of the move but pushes the ball way too far ahead of him. Or piece of crap player completely screws it up. also, even bad players can pull of moves if going at slow speed. if walking then more chance of pulling off move for sucky player. if walking, then ok chance for bad player. if running, not very good chance. If running than good players like Del Piero would still pull it off with ease. Also incorparate fancy turns to lose defenders, as well as player specific moves as well as some generic moves for players.

OFF THE BALL CONTROL- Keep otb except add more trap animations, and make it so that crosses from the goal to the halfway line are not as dead accurate as they were in 2004. Attributes in this area should also be more noticable in this area. You should also be able to choose what three players you want to use for off the ball control.

FORMATIONS- More formations to choose from, hopefully place players where you want them. Decide whether to play man-to-man or zone coverage.

GOALKEEPERS- make them less dumb. should be able to better anticipate passes and crosses and be able to get into position better (how much better depends on attributes) shouldn't be able to pick up every cross though that comes there way, and should miss some that are too high. Should be able to lob them like real keepers. they should get up faster after a shot or try and save it from the ground if a rebound shot is attempted.

MUSIC- the music in 2004 was the best i've heard in any EA game (i'm a big fan of EA) Keep up the great selections. Good job with keeping it international! Most of those songs are now my favorites! Some from the same band maybe and some from different bands... I've nothing more to say as the soundtrack from 2004 was awesome.

GRAPHICS/ANIMATION- the graphics in 04 were great. just some minor problems were that the shirts turned weird colors at times and players went throught the net all the time. Just minor though and i look forward to seeing even better graphics in 05. Crowd needs to be better though.

CUTSCENES- i hate to be greedy, but i want more cutscenes! including during substitutions. Even other players getting mad at each other when a goal is scored, or some other emotions. And for goodness sakes, ronaldo's celebration this year is RETARDED! I hate to say it, but it gets extremely annoying watching it over and over. More player specific celbrations for each player would be nice, also more generic ones too. And get the crowd more involved.

REFEREE- It did seem that the refs in 04 did play to the advantage to some extent. in 05 maybe the commentators should say something about it. probably should be within reason, just a better job in implementing this. Also the cards should not be random as they seem. I've had many instances where i fouled someone from behind, chopping their legs, and there wasn't even a yellow. then when i got the ball and slid into their legs from the front, i get a yellow, even a red. this needs to get better. More animations for a player falling and getting tackled would be great. And also when a player is holding on to you, there should be some way (with a better player) to get away from the defender without having to turn all the way around. Except for it needs to be difficult in some way otherwise scoring would be too easy.
Another thing that would add realism to the game is altering the offsides calls. Sometimes the ref should call/not call a close and contriversial offsides, and should be wrong. It shouldn't happen too often though.

SPEED/ ACCELERATION- perhaps you could make the sprint button pressure sensitive, the harder you push it, the faster you go. It would give you so much more control over the game.

AI- Should be smarter defenders, cover your options better. friendly ai should also make better runs up the field when your attacking and play better coverage on defense. Opposition should be able to do everything that i can. That would make the game more challenging and fun. They can pull off the same moves as i would be able to with that same player (no better no less) they can shoot from far away too. and cross

BETTER VOLLEYS- more acrobatic volleys for better players, bad players if they hit the ball to hard will send it sailing over the net. good players power it low.

LOW SHOT- if a bad player attemps a low shot and hits the low shot way to hard for his abililty, instead of going low and hard, it goes about chest height and sails. If good player implements same power with low shot, his shot will be low and very hard.& and also more spin too.

BETTER MORE EXCESSABLE MENUES- kind of speaks for itself. WTF was with the time it took to save in 2004? Oh well, as long as the game is quality, that doesn't matter as much.

COMMENTATORS- John motson and ally motson are great. i'd love to hear them in fifa again and again. Some other people are complaining that they want other commentators. Unfortunately there wont be multiple commentators in fifa probably due to lack of space and time. Still the commentary in 04 was a big step up from other games. keep doing that live recording thing using that most of the time, and mixing it up with some staged phrases. One thing that really got me in 04 though was that you used lines from previous games.

Wow, i can't believe how much i wrote. I don't know if anyones going to bother reading all this, but it would sure mean a lot to me if they did. I spent a lot of time writing it! Hopefully fifa 2005 will be another great game to look forward to.

 

[Xalopan]

a manager modus, soccer manager and football game in one game. And a animates wearing room (i dont know the neglish word, i mean the room where the players for the game are waering her clothes)

Futsal is cool and official champions League would be cool, Argentia football league. Copa America. African football leagues, Africa nations cup. i wish me all these things for fifa 2005

 

[Keegan]

I Wish...

I wish...

1) ...for more player models and faces... as it is, the options for faces and hairstyles are way too limited. Bring back the Dreadlocks!! In every team, all the players look related to each other! And I'd like to be able to use more specific boots in the game - the 13 we had in Fifa 2003 looks so good when compared to the 5 in Fifa 2004, but paltry compared to Fifa 2002 and WC 2002.

2) ...the game had more National teams (Japan, Holland, Jamaica and Canada), and better leagues... Argentinian would be better than Austrian, imho, and the Brazillian league should reflect the high standard of the players they produce.

3)...the game allowed us to create tournaments, teams and players. (Not unlimited, but I don't think allowing us to add 5 National Teams, 5 Club Teams and 200 players would be asking too much.)

4)... for better and more varied cinematics... substitutions, winning a tournament or league, presentation ceremonies - and some really wild celebrations for scoring a goal... jumping over adboards, somersaults and things like that... no removing of shirts, because I have an idea that would be difficult to do, plus it is now a yellow-card offense!

5)...we got an ingame editor instead of having to wait 5-6 months for a complete one. (I had heard that a CC that would allow us to add teams and players would be available in March of this year. Whatever happened to that?)

6)...for better boot models. We've had these since... Fifa RTWC '98?

7)... the game was easier to edit, so we could make the changes we want instead of making threads about wishes.


Well, those are my 7 wishes for Fifa 2005... <sigh>
