  3. icefire says:

    Is it consider as a bug using of Q+W (Trigger Run/Tactics Modifier/Switch Player + Through Ball/GK Charge), to lead off my attacker behind the defenders and there is no off-side and my attacker is face to face with the goal-keeper of the opposite team.
    Is it consider as a bug if i score directly from a corner, I mean to spin it directly in the goal, whit no headers, directly.
    Thank you in advance. Be happy. 🙂

    How many much time do you allocate for fixing the bugs in the game. In Fifa 08 ive come across a huge amount of Commentary bugs, ie. the Commentators saying completely the wrong things which don’t relate to play or the Commentary being delayed after a very important incident – such as a goal. I understand that Fifa is released yearly but if more time was given for fixing bugs im sure you could sort out these bugs before the games release which we gamers dismay at.

    Why isn’t there a Argentina League in any FIFA game so far? they are one of the best, me and my brother have been wanting the Argentinian league since FIFA 2002, i know it’s mostly because of license problems but i would really appreciate it thanks in advance.

    How do you buy Arshavin in Fifa 08 Manager mode i cant seem to find him anywear

  10. margaman says:

    oh yeah…this whole Be a Pro thing.

    Make cinematics in between matches with player and manager with agent. the option to pick different agents sack them. cinematics for when u happily get transfered and move up in life. lol can make it a actual game like GTA but a footballin version with different levels and targets. Make there be trials 4 like Man-u for example. cinematics of good news from agent and bad. papparazzi cinematics if the player is famous and doin well. An acutal sinlge player game!! U decide the futre of one person in a team from start to end watch a player grow make decisions that will improve or mess up a career. Even make a seperate game if u want but make the cinematics fequent outside matches so it like a football film of one guy’s sucess.

  11. margaman says:

    simple:

    If PES is ahead because of game play. Why dont you developers just emulate theirs, improve on it and kick the out the market. Fifa has the “licence” the “graphics” so why not just take their game-play.

  14. Hossam says:

    Why EA can*t I choose if i want to controll the keeper or not?
    because when i have a free kick my brother clikcs on R3 and take the goalkepper to the position so i can+t score!!

  15. Tambs says:

    I will also be needing EA sports a postal address. I will be having the concepts printed. This will just be a safety measure to keep the prying eyes of PES spies from knowing about them. They are really very important that it will be just too dangerous to let them out onto the internet. Mainly its all about gameplay and controls. any postal address will do as long my items are delivered to the right people.

      Add next gen goal nets if possible,i want to have next gen features on PC.

  17. Tambs says:

    I want to contribute some suggestions. I have made a few diagrams that help to elaborate them. Do u have any email/web addresse to which i can send these suggestions(with the diagrams attached). The concepts i have thought up are really revolutionary. Just like Harry POTTER did with the reading culture of millions these suggestions could change the face of fifa forever. It will be the best ever.

    when we can see Iran Pro League in FIFA?

  19. jaac says:

    put the correct holland badge kit and players on plz

  20. jaac says:

    i think for the next fifa it should include more international teams and maybe u should mix it up abit in manager mode if u do very well with your club team should get a call up to be international boss this would make it more fun and different also u shouldnt be able to start of with the best team in manager mode u should have to start lower league and work your way up to show how good u really are. i think u should also include the ref bein on the pitch same with linesmans plus make the crowd look more realistic. you should also have the chance to design ur own kit at the end of a season on manager mode along with editin ow ur players look. it would also be cool to design ur own boots like giive a sample pair of nike vapours u should be able to choose the colour and laces and studs something like that would also be a cool feature.

  21. chris says:

    russia should be on it plz

  22. Ben says:

    It would be great if all the player are realistic like in EURO2008 (even more players if possible), career mode with more choice, player interview in 3D bringing the new team clothes (even a basic 3D animation would be good).
    Add more league like Argentina’s league, Russian’s league (there are good player like Arshavin there), Greec’s league, Japan’s league (but I guess it’s impossible because of PES’s license…), the Holland’s national team official name and shape for players.
    It would be also great if we can see the refree and the player on the bench.
    Anyway, good luck and hope my wish come true on november!

  23. Frank Guillardo says:

    Put the Qatar league in Fifa 09, Theire doing very well and theire league is really interesting i watch it from Holland.

    Also make an option to make your own tournament like the option in fifa 98 …

  24. anonymous2 says:

    can you add greek league and cup;

  25. mehrdad says:

    we want iran leage and irans patch for fifa 07 please do it

  26. Greg says:

    Can you please bring back the TV/Broadcast camera angle for FIFA 09 on PS3. This camera angle would be able to show off the graphics of the stadiums so much more and make the goals better and more realistic. Are FIFA looking at this. And could you create more goal nets i.e Man Utd have much lighter goal nets than what are shown and we therefore do not see the full effect of the goal. Could EA please consider this? And also, could you have Manchester United walking out from the tunnel from the corner of the stadium, instead of the middle munich tunnel?

  27. charles says:

    if anyone plays as much as i do then this will be an easy one. in fifa when u take a fairly long shot and the announcer says something like ” spec of the niff or spec of the diff ” what is he acctally saying and what does that mean

  28. Jay says:

    I was wondering, if it would be “possible” to make a new mode in Fifa 09? we have Tournament, Mangager, Be a pro… but i thought of one called “Player Mode” you are one player like in be a pro. You start off as a 15 year old that you design yourself, and you play at school boy level, if you play well you get scouted for better teams as you go along. Would something like this be compatible with Fifa 09?

  29. Mikel says:

    I saw two easy questions from lazy people who dont know how to read their manuals
    1*There is a way to cancel an action you prompted your player to do(You called it “button queing”) You hold down LB and RB(xbox 360) at the same time and the move will be cancelled
    2*Someone asked about customizing formations in manager mode:You simply press Y(xbox 360) while under SQUADS
    Now for my question i want to know if it is possible for EA to make a truly realisti Fifa that has everything.The Ps2 fifa doesnt have good graphics but it has so many more features than 3rd Gen Consoles.Will fifa09 atleast put us 3rd Gen gamers on the feature level of ps2 fifa 07&08 because i feel that the basics are lacking.

  30. GROPATS says:

    OH AND PLEASE DONT CHANGE THE NEW ALTERNATE CONTROL SETTINGS LIKE U DID IN EURO 2008 ………..
    SPEED BUTTON WAS R2 ,IN EURO 2008 IS R1….
    ONE BUTTON…….SUCH A DIFFERENCE………..
    PLEASE DONT CHANGE IT…….LEAVE IT LIKE IN 08.
    THX

  31. GROPATS says:

    PLEASE ADD GREEK LEAGUE OR MORE GREEK TEAMS.

    I MEAN PANATHINAIKOS IS A GOOD TEAM IN GREECE BETTER THAN PAOK THESSALONIKI U HAVE IN 08.
    I PLAY ONLINE WITH FRIENDS FROM GREECE AND THEY CANT HAVE THEIR FAVORITE TEAM TO PLAY AGAINST OLYMPIACOS.
    THATS THE EL CLASICO IN GREECE GUYS,
    COME ON………..NOT FAIR.

  32. JOSE says:

    WHEN A GAME IS STOPPED DUE TO LIGHNING IS THE GAME HAS TO PLAY THE REMAINING MINUTES LEFT OR IS THERE IS TIME FRAME WHEN THE GAME IS OFICIAL OVER

  33. razinho says:

    HI CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THERE IS NO IRANIAN NATIONAL AND AND THEIR LEAGUE IN FIFA GAMES.

    IRAN IS ONE THE MOST IMPORTANTS IN ASIA AND I CANT BELIVE YOU HAVE TEAMS LIKE CHINA WHICH ARE NOT BETTER THEN ANY OF THE TOP FOUR IN ASIA.

    IS LIKE PLAYING FIFA GAME WITHOUT ENGLAND OR FRANCE AND THEN YOU HAVE LITHUANIA NATIONAL TEAM IN THE GAME.

    SO PLEASE SPEND SOME TIME AND THINK ABOUT THE IMPORTANT TEAMS YOU HAVENT GOT IN THE GAME

  34. UTDFAN001 says:

  37. Kevin says:

    Why isn’t there a Argentina League in any FIFA game so far!! they are one of the best just like Brazil, i don’t know why its so difficult, me and my brother have been wanting the Argentinian league since FIFA 2002, you have teams that don’t even deserve to be in the game.You put the Turkish and the Sweden leagues,seriously! look at this list and tell me who is first, maybe it will change your mind(copy and paste link)
    please put the Argentinian league on FIFA 09 : (

  38. gamie says:

  39. Blane says:

  40. Sean says:

    able 2 dive.
    players slip.
    call up youth players.
    reserve team.

  41. Sean says:

    constantly hav a meter at the top right or something to show gow many yards the goal is from the selected player

  42. daniel says:

    you should be able 2 customize any formation even in the manager mode. thankyou

  43. daniel says:

    i think teams like chelsea and liverpool should have the massive spending power that they do in real life so that wages and heavy price tags won’t b a problem, and when your team wins a trophy it should actualy show them lifting it at the end, and 1mor thing, when you make a subtitution it should show the players being congratulated by his manager and the player replacing him and show the captaincy switch hands 2 the vice captain if he is taken off.
    keep the real money and keep the manager mode aswel as the transfers just add more to them. thankyou. ALL FOR THE PS2!!!!

AND PLEASE MAKE IT ON PS2!!!!!!!!

  47. Chris says:

    For the Xbox 360 get rid of the holding a button to tackle s*** and go back to taping a button for tackle, also there needs to be a button or an option that stops button queing cuz i hate trying to pass the ball after i won it and then having my player clear it because i hit the button 5 seconds ago. Also they need to clear up when you switch players cuz my players allways glitch and move funny when they get switched to. And they need a menu feature that allows forwards to tackle or press the goalie.

  48. adrian says:
