    Fifa Manager 08 is a nice game.It would be a great game if you could make some adjustments. I will enumerate some changes that i would like to see in the new Fifa Manager.
    1.More playable countries, more countries with second ligues, an ingame posibility to create a reserve ligue or to enlist the reserve team in a lower ligue.
    2 Direct control over the reserve team and under 18 youth team, in this i mean that you could play or manage these teams.The posibility of buing youth players from 12 years of age by negociating with the club and the players parents, you could promise the parents good education for their kid at your bording house if you have one or if your city is a cultural centre.
    3.Cities should be diferent in description they should be clasified in: Industrial- in this cityes you should have and build industrial buildings, Cultural-in them you can build cultural buildings.Mountain towns, or seaside cities. Cities should be separated in small piceful or large busy the players with fanfavorite abilitis or media darling would like the large busy cities. There should be pictures and descriptions for all cities in europe and the world that have at least 150000 population so that this game would be more educative.The more details you have in the game outside footbal the less boring the game gets.
    4.The national team should have more importance.Players that are internationals will be loved more in theyr home country.There should be more media coverage on them even if they are not plaing in the country.The national team matches should be the main event in the newspapers for at least 1 weak before and one after the game.
    The media should be more agresive with the home national team players. in real life they are geting hamerd for every small flop but in the game the press just says “X counted his xx cap” its lame.Every player over lvl 80 should be counted as a star player for his team.
    5.Player names.Every country should have 20-30 main names for players.For exemple in a country 20-30 names make a major procent of the population.Those name should be available for the commentators to use once the respective player will reach stardom.
    Exemple: 200 english players are coled Smith 2 ore 3 of the are over lvl 80 so they are stars then the commentators shoul call their name.
    …………………………and more
    just remember more people have performant computers and large capacity HDD’s and these are the people that moastly buy the game.The more info outside footbal you give to the “manager” the more pleasure he will take from the game. The fifa manager 08 laks “human touch”, You should have more specific interactions with the pres and players. Its beter from a player’s point if wiew for a manager to say “What the hell was that performence?,Are you balerinas? Your nothing than a bunch of … whatever'” than to have a spot where you can say :criticise, motivate, praise.

  7. Kopie says:

    Can you have things like match of the day/ barclays league preview and have a half-time talk with analysis/highlights.

  8. AeroEngg says:

    I think FIFA 08 – manager mode is awesome, but can still have improvements. Here are my suggestions/ 2 cents –

    1) I think there should be an option to directly deal with a team. For eg – If I want to sell Christiano Ronaldo, I should be able to ask Real Madrid if they are interested, instead of just putting him for sale. Mostly, because, if a premiership player is for sale, -say Ronaldo, only the top English teams come in with offers – like Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool.

    2) I wish the transfer rules were as per the “real transfer rules” – like players should be cup tied – which means if I buy Henry from Barcelona, to Man Utd, and both teams are in the champion’s league, then Henry should not be an option for me for all CL games. It adds more reality to the game, and makes it more interesting. I’d also like to see more war of words between managers from diff teams, and more press involvement.

    3) Also, I would like to see player and manager tapping “illegally” by other teams. Imagine if I get a message on my “laptop”, that Madrid made an illegal attempt to lure C. Ronaldo from Man U. Stuff like that, I know is complicated to program, but it gives the real footie fan more substance to feel like a Manager.

    4) The managers can have a war of words with Refs, and get carded or fined for dissent, and stuff like that. But, I feel the refs, stadiums, and spectators have to be revamped big time.

    Good luck guys. I know the fans will always ask for more, and ask for the moon. It is never possible to impress everyone and keep all happy, but thanks for trying. FIFA 08 is an awesome game, and I’m sure 09 will be even better. Thanks for an awesome game, and keep the flag flying high.
    Cheers.

    welll i was reading some of the discussions about fifa 09 and i saw 1 guy saying that if its possible to include the puerto rican team…bro, YOU ARE CRAZZY AS HELL, they don’t play soccer so grow up!

    and fifa is a good game, but i hope the creators of the game, will include more tactical formations during the games like in winning eleven, and show the subsitutes in the banch

    peace out.

  10. Nikola says:

    J think maybe on fifa manager 09 to be macedonian league and fifa manager 09 to be working on worst computer.My computer:256 mb,15mbVG

  11. neil says:

    is there any way puerto rico can qualify to play the world cup?
    i know its impossible in real life, but it kinda sucks not being able to play international matches because my int. team eats it.
    fix the fouls…it seems every time i slide i get carded but most of the tackles the cpu does which dont even touch the ball are called fair.
    make controls more like recent fifas
    make it for mac! 😀
    make it for mac, please!
    and also even when i have players not for sale, if they are really good they get traded without me being able to do anything.
    prestige…how much does one need to be able to aquire decent players on your team.
    i have won 3 seasons in a row, countless cups and i cant get anyone from europe, where on the other hand boca juniors and river plate can get hernan crespo, and a few other european players like it aint no thang.
    what about customizing badges?
    i cant wait for ‘09! just pretty please make it for mac too!

  12. neil says:

    i agree can we get it for mac?
    i love this game!
    cant wait to see the fixes!

    • Give the players ability to cut back for a ball pass to them so they don’t keep running straight.
    • In owner mode, ability to get teams offering to buy out your contract and ship you to new team, better variety. Working your way up from the bottom.
    • Make your own player – draft into the league
    • Make your own stadium
    • Better commentary tracks – repetitive right now
    • Weather during the games
    • Before the game starts, highlight a player’s performance from previous game.
    • Better replays at half
    • Commentary at half on what each team can do to improve
    • Visual tears in the grass from sliding – condition of the field changing during game.

  15. Andrew says:

    More Commentary
    INjurys more Realistic
    Transfers much more realistic
    Able to do practices and drills in the practices such as juggling, shooting, scrimmages
    International Manager
    Champions Leauge
    World Cup
    Design Stadium

  16. Juan says:

    Suggestions:
    1) IMPROVE THE GAME OF GRAPHS
    2) GET MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY HOUSE
    3) REAL NAMES OF PUTTING THE CHAIRMEN AND COACHES
    4) IF POSSIBLE LINKS OF PUTTING ALL THE SOUTH AMERICA (VENEZUELA) FIRST DIVISION SECOND DIVISION (THIS SECOND DIVISION TO SEE IF POSSIBLE)
    5) TO BE SEE THE SECTION OF ENTRANAMIENTO (ALL) OF EVERY DAY IS NOT ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT IT IS QUICK SIMULATION
    6) IF A PLAYER IS LESIONA AS RONALDO MAKES ONE DAY TO DECIDE IF IT WILL OPERATE THE PLAYER OQ DECIDES TO CONTINUE PLAYING FOOTBALL OR NOT
    7) GET THE MARKS OFFICIAL AS NIKE ADDIDAS SONY ETC
    8) THE MARKS OF BALLS
    9) PUTTING THE COPA AMERICA MADE IN VENEZUELA RESPECTIVO WITH BALL AND ITS STADIUN 9 THAT WERE IN THE CUP
    10) PUTTING THE SELECTION OF VENEZUELA AS ELECTION TO DIRECT
    11) PUTTING THE LINKS ARE AS EXAMPLE ETC MEXICO VENEZUELA IS PLAY 2 LINKS FOR THE YEAR THAT ARE OPENING AND CLOSING SEE WHAT SHOULD PUT
    12) IMPROVEMENTS THE GRAPHS AS THE STAGES OF THE SONGS AFICION
    13) THE IMPROVEMENT THAT ALBITRO CANTE HOW ARE THE MISTAKES

    HAVE IN COMMON THESE SUGGESTIONS FOR FIFA MANAGER 09

  17. AK says:

    It would be cool to have interviews in the game.

  18. Pedro Cunha says:

    The best FM was that one with Football Fusion…that was the BEST ever. If you want to leverage next FMs you need seriously think about that: fusion of FIFA and FM. This means that we could import a match from FM to FIFA, play it, and go back to FM. You will continue to sell FIFA, will sell more FM and this is the best Voice Of Customer (VOC) that you can do in the market right now. Make a poll and you will confirm that…Success!!!

  19. jose says:

    I think there should be new spanish people talking because the guy on fifa 06,07,and08 are geting
    BORNING PLEASE change the person

  20. Kevin says:

    Have the game in psp also. It will be more fun than football manager & championship manager.

  21. mario says:

    shows players on tv like sky sports news results

  22. Charbel says:

    PLZ LISTEN……i think there should b real manager names and most importantly u should be able to aply 4 national jobs and get Australia involved! and lesser countries!

  23. luke says:

    better boots

  24. Agustin says:

    u should be able to create your own player and edit players and teams.

  25. Wyane Ng says:

    The Graphics of the players need to follow the Pro Evolution Soccer Series on Playstation 2 improve on it.
    Also there must be more faces and hairstyles to choose from , including alot of choices for type of boots, hairband, wristband, socks length etc.
    Also there must be more animations for shots on goal, more frequent bicycle and sissors kicks, volleys, step over tricks, ball juggling .
    Improve the loading times.
    Include the ability for players to be groomed into superstars and earn publicity, endorsments, popularity aka David Beckham.
    Should happend when a player suddenly scores a hatrick or saves the team from defeat etc..
    Make the Training section more user friendly, setting sessions on weekly basis then allow comuter to follow your instructions until you change them.
    Should include more options for the team in the calender, like a visit to spa or holiday tour to improve morale and recovery etc.

  26. James says:

    I think u shuld create ur stadium like if u dont like ur other stadium, u shuld build another 1, and choose da people 2 build it, like Liverpool r buildin der new stadium in stanley park. I like da idea of sum guy sayin bout avin a ground fa ur youth and/or reserve team. I also fink dat u shuld have mor youth players, and mor things 2 do and more details about ur family and life, like ur sons or daughters (if u put add womens football) becomin footie stars. Hope 09 is cumin soon!

  27. kenny says:

    heyy,
    i think you guys should have instead of the game being in such a far camera be up close while playing. like the demo in Xbox or PS3

  28. Harry says:

    PLEASE EA LISTEN TO WHAT I AHVE TO SAY!!! I bought FIFA08 on the PC and when i fnished intalling it i was shocked at how terrible the graphics were, the poor unauthentic shoes,poor grass,weather,stadiums looked crap! I just wasted another 70 bucks on a soccer game that did not impress me. I had to download OTHER PEOPLES KITS and BALLS just to make the game look DECENT..like cmoeon? You people are the GAME MAKERS , you should make the game outstanding..but you dident..thats why im here to tell you how you can beat PES and win back your LOST FANS. Ok lets start with the BAD, theonly way we can make FIFA09 a way better soccer game is by seeing what mistakes we ahve done..right? OK! here we go:

    1)More INTERNATIONAL teams!! ALL of the worlds teams if POSSIBLE.
    2)Put in the ASIAN CUP,Russian leauge,Greek and Argentinian!
    3)Make the AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS in the game!
    4)3d fans,not annoying continious screams so predictable!.Fans cheer and sing,flags
    5)MUCH BETTER GRASS,Nice and colourful KITS and REAL SHOES
    6)Better palyer faces.
    7)Much more STADIUMS!! (being an aussie, i was horrified that i did not see TELSTRA DOME,SUNCORP STADIUM and the MCG!!) Please EA, Australia is a massive peice of land with only ONE SOCCER INTERNATIONL TEAM!! i bed u to put the stadiums i mentioned above! please!..
    8)When there is a sub comming on, the camera should be on the guy with the board and the player getting all rady and wamed up. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE WHOLE SQAD ON THE BENCH ASWELL, AND WITH THE MANAGER WALKING AROUND YELLING AND GIVING INSTRUCTIONS! THAT WOULD BE AWSOME!.
    9)Better commentry, by that i mean More comentators and more languages!
    10)Have the WORLD CUP in fifa09, and if not possible to make it 2010 then make a fake world cup one atleast.
    11)real weather effects, from sunny to dusk to night
    12)FULL ANTYHEMS OF TEAMS, and people chant and sing.
    13)Half time commentry and actual analysis! Like yo ucan see actual commentators talk and show statistics like POSSESSION,SHOTS ON TARGET etc.

    THATS IT! im sure EA will read all this and ACT FAST! becouse im a huge fan of EA, im counting on you EA, counting on u to make the BEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER….:)

  29. damian tort says:

    1-to leave as leagues
    2-to leave with their actual format as in mexico should be 2 championships per year and leaves only 1
    3-your children can be footballers
    4-departing Copa America, the gold and can begin directing selections are not europe to play friendlies
    5-to be able to build more homes for juveniles
    6-sponsors who has best
    7-competitions that have real names, presidents, coaches
    8-2008 but you are better and trust in you to

  30. Euaz says:

    When you create your team you should pick your player or have some money to buy them. I think you should have more club facilities or catergories and youth camps and I also think that you should pick the company you wish to build your stadium, youth camps and club facilities. I haven’t got Fifa 08 YET!!!!! so I could be wrong. And last, I think you should create ground/stadium for your reserve and youth team, instead of them using your stadium.

  31. frank says:

    I haven’t got fifa manaher 08 but i’m gonna get fifa manager 09 next year.

  32. Vishal says:

    I think you should be able to pick your own team for the manager. the team u pick should be from leaugs should sum up your team. u should also have the real managers . when u control a club u become a manager.
    when u sign a new player u shuld have the board meetings and the press and the ceremon where u give him the shirt and stuff.

  33. Anton Kuznetsov says:

    more teams

  34. Euan Ridley says:

    i think u shuld create ur own staduims, wif staduim bugdet money, not ur club money. also, i think da personal life thing must b better and mor realistic. i mean, wats da point of buyin a house and items and stuf anyway? and i fink u shuld go 2 da youth acadameys and lik pik out who realy and who wants to go on ur team, or sumin like dat

  35. Redenemy says:

    You should add may be the Luxemburg League. I know it is a very small country but I have always to create at my own all the leagues and it takes a lot of time.

  36. Darren says:

    Why you can’t make the same gameplay like the xbox360

  37. sébastien bender says:

    less loading time

  38. dean says:

    i tink dat player prices should b more realistic and u should ger more money at the start of the first season with a big club.i also think u should be able 2 drive from ur house 2 ur training ground and 2 matches.at half time u should be able to go into the dressin room and see wat ur players are like that would be so cool.any its the best game ive ever played so keep it up

  39. Erick says:

    the games are great but there is still work to be done.
    i think adding that u could drive from your house to the field and stuff as someone metioned above is awesome.
    also i think a online aspect of the game must be created, so that u are able to verse ur frends in a league of managing. eg. i would be manchester united and my friend newcastle and we could play in the same league.
    more effort aswell into stadiums from around the world and developing like wen u build.
    anyways great game guys.

  40. Bethel loh says:

    I think the game is good but not good enough. Some mentioned about being a real life person… and stuff about driving to the stadium i second that. Also the leagues should be much more detailed. Womans leage and tournaments should also be added. The game would also be much more enjoyable as when you keep proggesing the game gets extremely repetitive… if there was some kind of way where you could build a team and go into a super league and vs other ppls teams around the world.
    That would be great.

  41. Fifa vicio says:

    You should add in FIFA MANAGER 09 the ARGENTINIAN LEAGUE (1rst and 2nd divitions) the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana and the Copa America

    And put more attention to south america in all fifa and soccer games

  42. Fifa vicio says:

    You should add in FIFA MANAGER 09 the ARGENTINIAN LEAGUE (1rst and 2nd divitions) the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana and the Copa America

  43. louis says:

    you should make all the mexican stile shirts the way that they are. for example hernan cristante from club toluca dosnt have the same golie outfit like the one in the real world

  44. GameOn! says:

    You should be able to drive from your manager’s house to the stadium! And be able to control your own life

  45. DENIS says:

    ADD MORE STADIUMS.THERE ARE LIKE 20 STADIUMS ONLY IN THE EPL, BUT U GUYS ONLY MADE ABOUT 19 FOR FIFA 08.THAT IS NOT EVEN MORE THAN THE EPL.SHOW THE REF,LINESMEN,COACH, AND THE SUBS SITTING ON THE BENCH DURING THE GAME.HAVE SOME WEATHER EFFECTS IN THE GAME LIKE SNOW,RAIN AN DIRT ON THE PITCH.BUT MOST OF ALL EA PLEEASE PLEEEASE PLEEEEEEASE IMPROVE ON THE GRAPHICS,MAKE THE GAME LOOK REALSTIC AND ALSO ADD SOME MORE LEAGUES LIKE THE SOUTH AFRICAN LEAGUE

  46. ££££££££££££Âà says:

    you need a thousand more leagues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  47. chris beswick says:

    make player prices more realistic, for instance on my game sevilla bought sergio ramos of real madrid for £66 million, absolutely destroying anything you would pay in real life for anyone. and its for a defender!?!?! also, intergration with FIFA 09 so you can play all the games as you would on a normal FIFA game.

  48. Nemesis says:

    Add more building types and levels. Add more financial options. Add more training options. And of course allow us to own real clubs at the start! Thanks!

  49. Povilas says:

    I think there must to be some more leagues like lithuanian,russian.
    And i think there must to be some easyer way to do tricks.
    If you realy want to take this game to the next level you must to do this game more realistic.Its egsisting 1 football game and i think that you know what is that game,so there is things that i liked more.But fifa for me is much betther.Sorry for my bad writing.

  50. Brett says:

    I think you should add women’s football in fifa manager 09 plus have the real managers aswell
    also have the womens international tourements aswell
    you could also add where you can decide whether you want 2 be a chairman at the start of the game where you then go onto hiring and firing your managers ect.
