FIFA 2005 General Requests

[Americanizta]

-More leagues like the mexican, argentine,greek, the libertadores cup.
-more stadiums, the azteca, maracana,la bombonera (boca jrs),jalisco stadium, the river plate stadium, seoul, yokohama, gwangu.
-better gameplay
-variety of balls
-save replays
-CREATION CENTRE

 

[MuLLoS]

.

- Bring back the ability to play just a league, or just a season. Perhaps the season mode from previous releases where you can just keep playing year after year without worrying about all the training etc that goes on in career mode.

- When selecting kits, don't just make it either home or away. Have individual selection for shirts, shorts and socks, because, as we all know, there are many games throughout a season where different variations of a team's kit will be used. eg. Man Utd: home kit with white socks vs. Newcastle (away), home kit with black shorts vs Blackburn, etc.

- In career mode or season mode, allow us to choose the stadium before each match. Also night or day here too. It's much better this way, because you don't end up playing all FA Cup games at night which i ended up doing in FIFA 2004 for some reason.

- Make different nets for different stadiums. Simple really. Make them move as well.

- Less cut-scenes. For a variation on what is now becoming a tired trend after scoring a goal, just keep the camera angle as it is and pan across to watch the celebrations...THEN go to a cut scene of the crowd or something, and then back to the players.

My requests

1. Player profiles. When you're playing multiplayer it would be good to see post match stats so that every players performance is rated. Each player creates a profile like in 2004, but then can use it when playing in multiplayer, so at the end of the game you can compare with your friends with who was "man of the match", stats such as goals, tackles won, passes completed etc would gather in a points system and at the end screen there would be ratings. Top fun and I'm sure not too hard to do.

2. Commentary. The English commentary in 2004 is simply awful, with the commentators saying things that would never ever be said in a live broadcast, also very repetitive. Bring back specific comments about certain players and clubs.

3. Chants, again a real step down from 2003, when Ruud Van Nistelrooy scores I want to hear the crowd go "Ruuuuuud!!" The player specific chants in 2003 were absolutely brilliant. Also the chants are very repetitive in 2004.

4. I don't expect every player to be photo perdect, however I would think that the entire squads of the G14 clubs (Europes most powerdul) should all be photo perfect, because lets face it, most people will regularly play as them or against them. There is no excuse for John O'Shea to be blonde in 2004!

5. Save replays, especially on XBOX, with the hard drive how hard could it be?

6. A workable skills control. The freestyle option just doesn't work properly, a combination of buttons would be much better (e.g. hold down shoulder button+ press other button)

 

[XclusiveGTstang]

Aztec stadium and edit mode

The only stadium to stage 2 World cup Finals!
The only reason why I buy WE7 is because they have an editor

 

[greglato]

A real home and away option(two legs) in the friendly mode. I like to set up my own turnament and I play a home and away game but a team doesn't realize they are loosing over two legs when they are up by a goal in the second game. So they may let up even though they need more goals to win over the two legs.

 

[manutdfan2004]

FIFA 2005 needs to be like the older versions, just with better graphics and game play.


- Edit mode need to come back.

It'd be brilliant to design your own Nike kit (choose from the several designs of kits Nike make then choose colours to go with it). Also, you could choose a sponser for your kit... Imagine a bright pink Nike kit with Vodafone sponsering them.

- BRING BACK THE INDOOR ARENAS!!!

I love playing five-a-side football and it was brilliant in FIFA 98.

- More authenticity with competitions and footwear.

I'd love to see myself wearing funky blue mercurial vapors.


The're my ideas. I'm sure they'd make the game so much better. Especially the indoor arenas. They were gotten rid of in FIFA 99 and havent been brought back!

 

[Humberto]

I want uruguayan league, and the legendary Centenario stadium which is the best of America.

Fifa 2005 Wishlist

I think a deal with Sky Sports would be really cool, that would really improve the menus and in-game presentation. Being able to see the team selection and the commentators providing their insight on how each team will play would be really good. Also a choice of commentators would be a good idea. Having the likes of Andy Gray (bring him back please!), Martin Tyler, John Motson and perhaps even Alan Shearer or Mark Lawrenson would add to the overall feel of the game. And what about national anthems for those friendly games and big tournaments (which they had better include this year!)? That would bring a big sense of patriotism and hearing the crowd sing along with it would be amazing. Another good thing would be to dislpay some of the scores from other games in the league (particularly in the career mode) so that we know how other teams are doing, giving an added imputice to win the big games (that might give you promotion or save you from relegation). I think they should get rid of the player swap system completely, it was absolutely useless when trying to update each squad. I agree with a lot of people who want to see a create-a-player, tournament or even stadium feature because that would really give us the control of the team that we are playing as. A better transfer system would be really nice to see. Watching other teams try and strengthen their own squads by purchasing other players from teams (besides your own) would bring a sense of spending your cash wisely and matching those teams in terms of quality. I hope that Fifa 2005 will look at Madden for inspiration, because even though I don't play those games, they really are quite amazing. I also agree with the idea of having proper nike, umbro, mizuno, reebok boots on these players to make them stand out a bit more while their on the pitch. Plus I hope to see players perhaps needing surgery (like Sol Campbell) that would be really cool 'cos then we have the decision to make them play through the pain or if its in the early stages of the season, let them go for treatment and have them come back for the latter stages of the campaign.

 

[aBadBoy]

I think the in Fifa 2005 there should be

IN GAME CREATION CENTER
They should return the Weather effects
Career mode longer that 5 years
More national teams
more african and latin american clubs
more asian clubs
More harder gameplay .. and the gameplay is the most important

 

[Vendetta]

gameplay

-we7 gameplay or even fifa 2002 game play(best gameplay ever)
-Indoor
-able to import boots and jerseys on ps2
- good online, with all modes online
-Canada in international
-Some A league teams (wouldnt bother me if not in)
-more cinematics
-Fun Game!

 

[MANutd01]

i reckon the game interface should be more user friendly. In fifa04 u go through a few menus to acces the league table and fixtures hard to read. Its also impossible to find out who is the top scorer in the league.

just little things like that. also have creation centre in game.

 

[Gresty]

as long as it has chester in the game i am alrite

in game editor would be good tho... or an advanced editor on a diff cd where u save changes into ya memory card

 

[saaretjie]

U know... I think that 1stly ratings should take an effect (ie Cygan should NoT be able to catch Schevchenko at full sprint) and also the ratings need to be improved! Frey is better than 56 and COupet is definitely better than 42! (+ Carriere ) another thing is that the ratings need 2 be less. in my opinion only Henry, Van Nistelrooy, Nesta, Ronaldo Raul and Zidane should have + 85 ratings coz when you give Ronaldo a rating of 98 and want to introduce Pele into the game how much must u give him?

 

[antonio_hdz2]

Ok with the release of FIFA 2005 closer each day my suggestions are:

1) PLEASE!!!!!! add realistic boots for all versions i mean PC and console too, is very dissapointing when u have the Console ver and for PC u get all the patches and your console becomes very outdated...

2) Rest of the world was nice, but there are some missing teams, like the colombian ones, instead of the Austrian and Korean (pittyful leagues) put real leagues from the american continent like the Argentinian or Mexican, the Brazilian is ok but guys c'mon i'm sure u all have cable tv the brazilian league is better than the one i've played in the game, the argentinian and mexican leagues are the best leagues of the continent so please put them in the game.

3) More stadiums!!!, i'd like to see the Eurocup stadiums in the game, and at least 2 stadiums of every new league (Argentinian and Mexican ones) i'd love to see the Bombonera and Mexico 68 stadiums in FIFA 2005.

4) Ambient: SO IMPORTANT when some team play at their ground the noise of the crowd is so loud, in Fifa 2004 the crowd is loud but they all get quiet after the game begins i mean WTF???? have u ever been in the stadium????

5) Realism: Basic. The AI can't simply stop a log shot????, i mean long shots actually happen in real life but in the game is a simply way to score goals, the AI need an improvement in that area and also check the others suggestions of my forum-mates.

6) Faces and real faces, Does Rafael Marquez actually looks like FIFA 2004??? i guess not... and this not only applies for him u should check other players too..

7) A player creator and a Stadium creator for all versions.

That's all i can ask for now, and i think that the FIFA community will be happy if this and the other suggestions count for the next FIFA... FIFA 2005

Cheers Ally!!!

 

[dobrin1980]

BULGARIAN NATIONAL TEAM IN FIFA 2005.

 

[TNeumann]

Fifa 2005

hi guys
Try this list

1. Better Goalkeeper A.I EG. shots outside the area, more save angles

2. More real stadiums... the new england one should be St James Park , but add others like Ibrox, Celtic Park, Porto, Benfica

2b. Must add turkish league and greek league ( panathinkaikos + olympiakos stadium then can be added)

3. More real faces , id like to see at least 1 real face per team, that way everybody is happy and can look forward to something

4. Improved overall stat, we dont want people from Denmark getting 30 skill mark if they dont deserve do we ? Forget the assumptions that just becuase the league is weak all the players are rubbish

5.Improved C Stick tricks, make it work!

6. Greater overall difficulity and more realism with the random results, arsenal finishing 12th ? lol

7. MOST IMPORTANT: Weather, we were promised " an advanced weather system" shortly before FIfa 2004 early plans were released but we didnt get, come on Fifa, we want rain, gusts, Snow, hail! Like the old days!

8. More to do in training, similiar to PES3's " tasks" maybe.

9. Proper cups please. MOST IMPORTANT: Final played on neutral ground!

10. Official referee's please, we had them last Fifa.

11. Different refeering ability, some dodgy, some not

12. A proper penalty taking system, we want top corners please!

13. More enhanced commentary

14. A little screen showing the squad and where the players play when the teams walk out onto the pitch, similiar to on PES3, would be very welcome

15. Reduce the game slow down at night matches

16. Champions League matches at night

16.b ( Would it be possible to base the enviroment of the match around your internal clock ? For example, play a match at 11:00 am,it would be a day match the weather might be sunny, whatever, play a match at 23:00pm and it would be a night match )

17. Mathces on a Saturday, plus one mid-week maybe, not that silly all matches on a Monday thing or whatever

18. The ability to foul the keeper! Bring that back!

19. MOST IMPORTANT: More injuries, and Goalkeeper injuries too, becuase there is very little point of having 2 keepers in Fifa atm.

And Finally,

20. Save Replay on all consoles please!

 

[Mattygodd]

As far as im concerned you have nailed the presentation and graphics, sure annual updates are required but id personally spend more time on:

1) Animation: Sack the motion capture off it gives the impression the players are skating across the pitch, if I want an ice hockey game i'd buy an NHL game. Increase the turning circle of the players, tricks and other skills look decidedly clumsy.

2) Speed settings. Admittedly people like the more arcadey nature of fifa but those who want a more realistic game should be able to slow it down! The last version supposedly had one (in the instuction manual it was included) but obviosly it was hidden!

3) Better ball physics. For some reason the ball jerks through the air, maybe its frame rate issues or the fact that the game is too fast for itself. (I own the Xbox version)

4) Loose the gimmicks. The gameplay of the game should speak for itself, concentrate on game play elements that will actually improve the game instead of dreaming up ideas that will trick an 11 year old kid into buying the game to become the 12th man or so he can have off the ball control! I didnt think off the ball control added anything to the game other than confusion, football is simple, keep it simple!

5)Tighten up the controls they somehow feel slightly fuzzy and wooly (too soft).

Ignore the fact that people want more stadiums, more liscences etc. You would be more proud of yourself if the game played better im sure of it!

Good luck, im interested to see what improvements are made, hopefully they wont all be cosmetic.

 

[G2000]

My Wishlist

For the most part most of us I think agree on the need to add a more realistic gameplay (smarter AI), special moves etc should be considered in the next version. Here's my 2 cents on the subject:

- Gameplay. Although I do like the game play in 2k4 (say over 2k3) I would like to see more special moves i.e. bicycle kicks etc. Ingame FX such as flares should be re-introduced into the game.

- Custom cups etc. The ablility to create your own custom league tournaments such as CL/UEFA in the even they are not possible due to obvious reason, licensing.

- Call me old skool, but I was not crazy about the Career Mode in FIFA04, especially when you have a product like TCM 2004 out there. I would much rather see FIFA as an arcade type game where you can play any league championship (ingergraded with a cup tournament and CL/UEFA competitions). However, since TCM is a very enjoyable game, I'd rather see a Football Fusion style export utility where you can manage your team via TCM and import this data into FIFA.

- Better intergration with TCM/Football Fusion to FIFA. In other words, allow TCM import into FIFA of entire Leagues (even if that league does not exist in FIFA04). This way you can play in arcade mode the custom teams and leagues.

- Better intergration of custom graphics etc. Since more is always better, I can see EA doing custom kits etc for every single team and division. An editor should be added so that these details could be easily added (i.e. chants, banners, flags, kits and so on).

Regards

 

[Rivaldo090]

I dont know if this idea was mentioned before but I will state it anyways. How about an online mode where you control only 1 player on the field. Like in SOCOM you have 8 on 8. So you get in a room(connection should be limited to high speed) with a bunch of guys and u pick teams and divide up. Then you could be ranked by what position you play in. Form all-star teams as you form clans in SOCOM.

 

[FKPartizan]

Partizan Belgrade Please! I know it's annoying when people ask for specific teams but i feel they should be in the game, along with more eastern european teams like Dynamo Kiev, and Lokamotiv Moscow. Indoor footie would be great to have again, very fun. And online gameplay needs to improve, downloadable rosters to use in the game as well as online, option to have golden goal and pk shootout, ability to check stats after a game, ability to use reserves online as well. Improve the passing in the game, get rid of off the ball controls (to easy to score of glitches), make it harder to score distance goals, create simulation and arcade modes, overall more realistic gameplay.
