we decide how we want it

[ypx]

there were rumors in some threads that a new fifa2003 is coming up.
I think we should gather opinions and suggestions to what the new fifa soccer game should and shouldn't have etc.

The reason I created this thread is to gather these suggestions and then deliver them to EA.

Please don't give in your suggestions and opinions too long so gahtering up all of them won't be too difficult.
I also ask everyone who enters this thread to tell his all his friends about it so we can get the biggest amount of opinions and suggestions as possible.
If you want you could also comment on other people's suggestions but if it's going to turn into a fight then I ask you guys to take it outside

Don't forget to write them short but easy to understand


It's us who decide how we want it to be like
and as the old saying goes: the customer is always right

Thanx
Let's do it

 

[9th Korner]

1. Names on backs
2. More stadiums, or specific program to chose them
3. improvements in ai
4. Faces, and program to do or edit them
5. Rosters should be proper
6. Specific sounds for each team or for most popular
7. cinimatecs : we want some new and realistic cinematics.

It is just main one, but theres alot more to add.!@@@@
Thanks@ KoRner!

 

[ypx]

- a training mode in which you can practice everything that needs practice (penalties, goalkeeping, freekicks, corners, training matches)

- more specialized attributes (experience(you know...where to stand when trying to tackle somebody...behind ro his side etc.), agression(if he sometimes fights with another player because he fouled him)

- arguments with the referee( more realistic)

- medic people (if there's a severe injury)

- very bad injuries (a player won't be able to play in several matches becaus of very bad injuries)

- attributes for referees (not just if he's strict or not but also if his awareness of things like who fouled who etc.)

-tension (while playing a corner or so the players get nervous)

- news (so you could find out about other matches: who scored who was man of the match, how was the match)

- better in game popups

- more goalkeeper attributes (in penalties)

- more space (the field should be a bit larger like in reality)

- more camera modes (so everybody could find a camera with an angle that suites him)

- realistic player values and club bankrolls (big bucks)

- more accurate attributes ( not just between 1and 7 but between 0 annd hundred)

- players with specialities (headers, captain, corners, penalties(for a GK))

- celebrations (at the beginning and end of a championship)

- more strategies (he goes there then he passes there then he crosses.... or he marks him etc)

- positioning (he stands further back he can go more forward)

- an update by EA (with rooster updates new adjustments of a players profile and attributes by EA, new kits)

- more realistic fouls (pushing)

- more realistic audience (fans, fireworks, mascots, winners louder than loosers)

- player accesories ( glasses, tatoos)

- a variety of skins

 

[Internazionale]

- Provide the practice session.

- More National teams (100 teams at least) with all the official names in it. Don't screw me up this time EA !

- The National flags presented during the opening any International game like WE series.

- Realistic game play.

 

[ypx]

please be more specific

could your suggestions please be a bit more specific and accurate
we want them to do it exactly as we want it to be

 

[ypx]

- names on back

- realistic substitution(you know what I mean)

-strategies(more of them..how come fifa94 has more)

-train for something specific( how to play a corner or freekick, where everybody should stand BUT I don't mean this as training but as Strategy)

-water bottles on the sidelines and next to net(players can drink of them when the game cools down a bit or pour the water over their heads the bottles next to the goals could get knocked by ball)

- several replays of a goal and each time from a different angle

- when there's nothing happening( when players sort themselves for a corner or freekick) camera could concentrate on a player and a popup could say his name (especially the players that go to play a corner or throw in a ball)

- team-coaches(camera could also concentrate on them especially how they react when a goal is scored)

- team/player stamina (one during a game and an overall stamina during a tournament or league)

- realistic crowds(doing the wave)

- players spitting on the ground (when they're being concentrated onby the cameras)

- longer arguments with referees (only sometimes and which will depend on how aggressive the player is)

-more than one player can get booked at the same time

-there should be a ball for every tournament

- the comentator could give info on a player( how old, which clubor nationality, how many goals etc.) or team( how many times it one a title)

- summaries about important matches or other tournaments being played at same time (in a news section)

- different comentators (but not in the same match)

- you can choose or it can be chosen for you which country will host a tournament

-every team should have something special about itself( aggressive, strong defence, it's players are all fast, good at counterattacks)

- realistic and more ways of celebrating (when scoring a goal, winning a cup, when beginning or ending a tournament, when having qualified for something even when having lost the match)

- weekly updates BY EA in one download (containing updates on everything: new transfers, roosters, player appearences etc.)

-national anthyms and handshaking

- bandages if injured

- goalkeeper can foul somebody else, can be injured, can be booked

-teammates can "congratulate" their GK for a VERY GOOD save

-teammates can congratulate each other (if there was a good defence or a close miss etc.)

- a player should whine only if he just missed a VERY GOOD chance

- more players should be available for substitution

-more difficulty levels

-more specific difficulty levels(the other team should be less offensive OR less defensive)

- replays of goals can be viewed AFTER the game

- more options in replay mode (Zoom in&out, change angle, view a player etc.)(like in NHLreplay mode)

what does "ai" stand for
and what are cinematics

 

[NottsSupporter]

Most of the things you´ve said YPX is just cosmetic and it wont change the game. It might feel cooler for the first week but then everything gets rpetetive. The gameplay is the most improtant thing.

ai- aritifcial(?) intelligiens

Cinematics - cut scenes

 

[Hercules]

The gameplay is definitely the most important. Also, I would want EA to make the next FIFA game front end graphics to be as open-ended as possible, so that we can make a lot of changes to it if necessary. For example, they should allow the easy importing of individual stadiums and other stuff for teams, but not necessarily provide the files, just make the game able to read them. i.e. when there is no specific files for the team, simply use the generic ones.

The gameplay can be improved by an improved artificial intelligence. Firstly, players should have a lot more different attributes, let's say 20-30 at least. Because if there's little attributes, there's very little difference between the players, so why bother with the different teams and players?

FIFA should not bother themselves too much on the graphics. They should just show the buyers and critics what they can do by importing a few faces, a few nice high resolution kits, few nice stadiums, but shouldb't go over the top and make them for all the teams, because we have a lot of patch makers who can do that. They should do the most work where patch makers are unable to do, the actual coding of the game. And if they work with the patchmakers rather than compete with them, then great things can happen.

 

[timmy#1969]

1. a few more real stadiums....all in the EPL would be nice for me.

2. A road to the world cup with the World Cup at the end of the road

3. A halftime so you can make substitutions. (if there is one in 2002 somebody tell me how to use it).

4. ability to cross without having to have your player already runnin in the direction of the cross.

5. Shirt exchange at the end

6. Flying debris on the pitch. Hot dog wrappers toilet paper etc.

My wife is kicking me off the computer but if I come up with more I will re-reply

 

[::shinji::]

I think the only thing the FIFA series desperatly needs to improve on is the gameplay, all that graphic stuff is fine and dandy but the novelty of it wears off quick if the game plays like pinball....

A much improved management system is also needed, like what you see in the NBA series where you can't just go out and buy ANY player you want..

 

[hristostoichkov]

In one word: GAMEPLAY.

 

[SB9Dragon]

Great ideas guys... here is IMO, the most important things FIFA need to have

1. Reinsert the Training sessions into the game (and why not the possibility to do so during a season?)

2. More stadiums

3. Reinsert the feature of when it is halftime and the pause menu opens up so that the user will be able to make substitutions and see how his /her team is doing

4. Make the AI foul more, make them more aggressive, and also make more injuries occur. Make different injuries that have different results in the amount of time a player can't come back and play for their team, not just miss the rest of the game and come back the next.

5. Make the bench look more realistic and do the usual graphic updates

6. Make it possible to insert new faces, stadiums, etc with ease, but in the game.

7. Make the Creation Center possible of making changes and not deleting commentary.

8. Change the system of attributes for a player, make it more realistic like 1-10... and add different categories like aggressiveness and such

9. Make the kits better, I know they can't be #Gk types of kits because just those would need a CD, but improve the regular ones... numbers on shorts, better and many more goalie kits (why not a goalie kit for each team?) and especially my favorite, names on shorts.

10. Use the WC2002 cinematics in FIFA2003 and add better new ones... and I mean realistic. A personal favorite of mine would be backflips almost like the cartwheels one in WC2002

11. Make more difficulty levels: for example: Beginner, Amateur, Professional, Worldclass, Allstar, Ultamite... and don't make a big diffuculty gap between them, such as the one between Amateur and Professional. Amateur is simple but when you get into Professional the AI plays the super allstars... where is the realism?

12. More activity on the website and more patches, official patches. Maybe weekly adding something new to the game, maybe a stadium, or a ball, etc

13. More up to date rosters, and a greater player limit... 32? Maybe 40 like WC2002... not all teams would need it, but when it comes to updating teams alot of players can't fit into the 32 limit.

14. Make the fields bigger

15. Create the game in a way that a user has to make their team build up plays instead of shooting anywhere ont he field and making them.

16. Different commentators, more player commentary, and more info on the teams, the cup, the leagues, and the players (nice job in WC2002 with all the info)

17. For the players make a stamina page so that a user can't field the same 11 every game... make it color coded also or percentage wise. For example if I was playing with Inter MIlan, I would have to rest Ronaldo (will he ever be in the game? because of a license right?) and put in Recoba or whatever in his place.

18. Realistic substitutions

19. Better fouls, more and different refs, when a player gets fouled different and better reactions (nice job in WC2002, more realistic then before)

20. Make it more user friendly, and all in all make it more realistic, but also keep it fun... why not an arcade and simulation type of game options ingame?

 

[ypx]

good work but

we're doing great, guys
but i'm stilll asking you to be more specific
don't just say realistic gameplay
tell them exactly how you want it
i doubt they know what realistic gameplay is

ai- aritifcial(?) intelligiens

Cinematics - cut scenes

What I've suggested IS for gameplay

 

[ypx]

- transfers shouldn't be so "easy"( sometimes a team doesn't want to give up a player and sometimes doesn't want to buy one from you)

- team mascots

- GK's moves should be more realistic

- a way to increase a teams bankroll (legaly like by winning a championship)

- a player's value can increase if performance during a tournament was pretty good (goals, "important goals")

 

[Maniac]

how about...

- how about when a team scores, we can see (once in a while) the teams manager, trainer and the players on the bench, jumping of happyness! and when the other team scores, the manager\trainer is mad (shaking his head, yells on the players or something like that)..... you see these things in every real match!

- use the WC2002 graphics, but! Do not use the "fireball" when shoting on the goal! just stupid

- remove the Fifa03 in the user folder. Everything edited in Fifa 2003 is saved to fcdb_eng.dbi and fcdb.dbi! Like this we won't lose things we made in creation centre if Fed2003 or FCDB is released.

- when it comes to gameplay, all I can say is: Pro Evolution Soccer

- and how about if you are playing the English league, you have a English TV Logo, Spanish league - Spanish Tv logo, Canal Digital, Canal + or something like that.

hope this is okay

 

[Psycho666]

-PLAYER'S UNIFORMS GET DIRTY ( LIKE IN MADDEN 2002, THAT SHOULD BE EASY TO DO CUZ MADDEN 01 AND 02 NAD IT)

-PLAYER'S ACCESORIES LIKE TATTOOS,BANDANAS AND TAPE.

-MULTIPLE-PLAYERS SEASON. FOR EXAMPLE , YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS CAN PLAY IN THE SAME SEASON WITH DIFERENT TEAMS. FOR EXAMPLE I GET MAN U. AND MY FRIEND GETS ARSENAL. AND WE BOTH CAN PLAY DURING THE SAME SEASON

-BRING BACK INDOOR SOCCER.

-PLAYERS FIGHTING,LIKE AFTER IMPORTANT GAMES.

-MAKE A FRANCHISE MODE (LIKE IN MADDEN WHERE YOU CAN PLAY FOR 30 YEARS OR SO.)

- PLAYERS PROGRESS, AFTER A SEASON PLAYERS GET FASTERS OR STRONGER AND ALL THAT.

THATS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
BUT PLEASE PEOPLE DON'T FORGET THAT EA CAN MAKE THIS GAME BETTER IT'S JUST THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO OR SOME THING. WHAT I MEAN IS ... TAKE A LOOK AT MADDEN 2002 PLAYERS GET DIRTY AND INJURIES ARE VERY REALISTIC AND THEY HAVE FRANCHISE MODE. IF MADDEN HAS ALL THIS FEATURES WHY CAN'T FIFA HAVE THEM? (THINK ABOUT IT)


I'M SORRY ABOUT MY ENGLISH.

 

[emmer]

again i'm posting this link
http://www.wishlist.gq.nu/FIFA2002/index.htm

fifa 2002 wishlist by sctw

i guess 99% of this list "works" for fifa 2003 as well

take a look... it's a really huge list

 

[Soanis]

if somehow EA manage to steal WE 6 gameplay and put it in the game,and improve graphics(mainly stadiums and body models),then it would be the ultimate game.

what i suggest:

Different types of foul kicking(like WE6,but not just four) have one for each famous player that has a special one.

have diff balls for diff leagues,cups,trophies,tournament,and also customise a spec. ball for each home team if there's afriendly game.

forget that ****ty thing with arrows during corner or foul kicks,it's so unrealistic(take a look at WE6 to see how it must be)

what i also think is unrealistic is that when you score a goal the screen flashes off and then the cinematic starts.That doesn't happen in WE,there it immidiately starts after a goal.

if the score is (eg)4-0 and the losing team scores,the scorer should not act like he scored the winning goal in the world cup final!(coz that's what happens).They should walk towards their side,or hug,or when there is a chance they can come back to it,take the ball from the net and carry it to the centre.And argue with the keeper that wouldn't give it to you or try to slow you down.

the type of the shoot should be decided by the place the player that gets the ball is.If he is set to a free position and has good stats for offence,then he could make a bicycle kick(or a fish header).

cheers.
