    i think the most important things is..don’t decline in value as the players in FM did!!
    1) most importantly, 3D match is not much improved…actually i found that even FM06 or 05 is even better. not much diversity of player’s move..if it can be nearly the same as FIFA 08 OR 09 …or the same as fifa 2003(the most beautiful 3d players i think)…may be u are facing technical problem…but i really found boring when seeing everytime the ways players score are the same, unlike winning eleven.. the reason i play fifam than football m or championship is because of your 3D match!!! please improve….sorry for my honesty!
    2)if reserve team can be arranged friendly…it will be great.
    3)3D face or stadium quality can be just as 2003 or 2002world cup….but the movement or goals of the player could be more realistic…it’s more important
    4)(minor)more groups of trainning is needed…may be increase to 4 or 5
    5)can shout in the match..like 05 or 06
    6)retired player…not just national players should be given a chance to play again after negoigation
    7)real manager name and photos
    8) the desk of manager was great…but i forgot it was 05 or 06?? better than 07 and 08 surface.
    9)When the national team increased their ranking…or somethings like points…their league’s prize should also be increase so that not all the players go to England or Spain
    sorry for talking so much……hope you’ll success!!!!easport… what a game!!support!!

  3. jorge yanez says:

    Show real stats and pics from ALL of Conmebol. It should at least have the complete national team of every country even if some of those players play in a local league not in europe

  4. Jose says:

    1- More realistic 3D game play. (ability to “cure” injured players so they can play a little more, manager reaction views, better title celebrations, fireworks and special events, presentation of new squad players…)
    2- Training sessions more complete (work on collective custom plays).
    3- Better stadium extension editor engine (tip; grass management work)
    4- Possiblity to sign contracts with companies for t-shirt design.
    5- Ability to choose game balls.
    6- More in game weather options.
    7- Contracts with tv channels.
    8- Local newpaper, National & International newspaper, and Youth newspaper…or “web” info.
    9- Customization of music library for in game. (not just a folder)
    10- Elections for club presidents (promises etc…)

  5. Jack says:

    Chose what area your team plays in when you create a club

  6. Jack says:

    1. More divisons i.e blue square premier league confrence , north and south , scotish divisons
    2,3 and 4, welsh league and N.irish league.
    2.Create more teams and players.
    3.Manage internatiniol teams.
    4.Create a stadium.
    5.Watch the youths play in manager mode.
    6.Most teams should have a 3rd kit.
    7.When you sign a youth in manger mode they should have a higher rating.
    8. More teams should have the real goalkeeper kit.
    9.You should be allowed to make the players fight when they do a bad tackle
    10.Have the mangers

  7. J.pHan says:

    I want the 3d match sim
    be able to build own stadium and expand it
    real players in lower divisjon
    more leagues,,like college league inn Usa and always have at least 2 divisjons in one country

    AND I REALY WANT IT FOR PS3

  8. Daniel10 says:

    put u.d. messinense on second division of portugal

  9. the best says:

    crowd fights like there is in Poland and south America
    give award to manger of the year and player of the year and goal of the year month and week
    show the refs this time if that happen ill love the game
    show the manger after every goal

  10. rafael says:

    1) more cars on private life
    2) the 3D match should be more realist
    3) portuguese language
    4) all national teams should be able to manage
    5) new sponsors
    6) more players pictures

  11. Matt says:

    Well first of all…..the game has a big problem:the teams don’t change that much after a few years….and after let’s say 10 years the team are very very old…..almost every player has like 35 years…that’s unbeareble…..oooo and also the level of the players should drop severely after they get really old and yougsters level should grow very fast…….in the game it just stays the same…although in the gameplay it changes….and another one:Championships should be different in every contry:for example in England the managers are given a long period of time….Spain benefits from a lot of talented youngsters…..and the next big thing for this game would be if it is possibly in the near future to actually see how the players are training..and make the do stuff……and I agree with other opinions….you should integrate the new Uefa game as the gameplay of FM…cause it resembles more with a simulator than Fifa…..thank you

    fifa manager is great just dont get rid off the personal life great game always buying it

  13. Jamie says:

    for like english league and champions league, they should be themes like for champions league , play the champions league theme when the players come out and have champions league adbaords all over like in real life games. and same with fa and league cup.- have flares in the crowd and police everywere and what would be really cool is if u had like streakers and like some crowd members running on the pitch and have like the police or stewards chasing after them. if u included these the game would be amazing.

  14. Jamie says:

    1. players should be able to get injurys that can end there career. including big players and players can get like done for offences like iliegal doping or steroids etc.
    2. make your own player.
    3.have a champions league all time top scorer chart and premier league all time top scorer chart. not just from when u start the game but from last scorers eg from when the premier league and champions league started.
    4. when your team when the league it should show them lift the trophy and all the fans run on to the pitch.
    5.there should be crowd trouble for big games and rivalrys.
    6. have like a option were u can save your line up and formation together so when u have players missing on interantioanl duty it takes 1 click of a button to put them back in place. and if u get sacked it shoud go auto matically to the end of the season or u get offered a instant job.
    7. more sponser

  15. Danny Gregory says:

    I think in the next football manager u should make player/mangers,
    theres not really alot that needs changing, maybe the potion to make comments to other mangers buy wrighting it in yourself, I.E. when a manger says there looking foward to beating you, when you reply and you should be able to put your own words in which the games understands and then can reply back to. and the player interaction menu should be the same where u put your own words in.

  16. zak says:

    have players fighting when a bad tackle is made or in a rival game

  17. jon says:

    1. you should be able to make loans after january
    2. you should get offers from other teams half way throught the season
    3. be able to get offered an international job
    4.have a proper croud that actually move
    5.when you go to take a corner have the press take pictures of the player
    6.when you score show scenes of the crowd and the manager celebrating

  18. sam rogers says:

    you should have the ability to practice with your team

  19. Tobynho says:

    I have just downloaded the Xbox 360 demo of UEFA euro 2008 and what a wonderful gameplay it offers!
    If EA decided to use this match engine in FIFA manager 09 it would be the coolest manager game we ever have experienced for years. Have a try and be convinced!

    Take a look:

    https://youtu.be/E1CR-VP_dtw

    Watch more videos on youtube, but try it out yourself.

  20. daniel says:

    you should have more leagues in it like the welsh premership
    be able to run a national side alongside the club teams

  21. Faris says:

    you need to made players for all leauges in the world in real names i am not asking you to make picture of every player in the world but yust their names

  22. Rixx says:

    WHAT I HAVE DONE IS SIMPLE, I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS FORUM AND PICKED OUT the best 50 SUGGESTIONS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE,
    SO I MAY USE YOURS. SOME POINTS MAY BE REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES. BUT HERE IS AN ULTIMATE LIST PLEASE ACTUALLY TAKE ATTENSION TO THIS LIST BECUASE IT COULD HELP FIFA 09 BETTER A BETTER GAME HUGELY :

    1.see the referee AND LINESMAN in gamplay
    2.more players and stadiums.
    3.realistic sponsors e.g AIG for utd etc
    4.build on your stadium
    5.improve through ball in gameplay
    6.should be offered jobs at other major clubs when u are doing well
    7.win a lump sum of money when u win a trophy
    8.louder crowd chants
    9.work on the offside rule, it glitches all the time!!
    10. shots of subs interacting with eachther when u make a substituion.
    11.better players on the classic 11 eg. (ratings) Pele (96), maradona(94), zola(91), b.charlton (93).
    12.In the transfer market you should be able to swap players of a similar rating.
    13.BE ABLE TO DIVE!!!
    14.MAKE THE BOOTS MORE REAL AND GIVE A BIGGER CHOICE…
    1 PAIR OF NIKE VAPOURS 2 PAIRS OF NIKE TOTAL 90 AND 1 PAIR OF NIKE LEGEND!! MORE CHOICE AND MORE COLOURS!!!
    RONALDO CHANGES HIS BOOTS EVERY MONTH LET US DO THAT!!!
    15.In a cup final you should show more of the winning team celebrating like having the stand in the middle of the pitch and the players jumping up and down with the trophy.
    16.A be a pro season mode where u play as the player instead of the team
    17.build own stadium
    18.WEATHER VERY IMPORTANT BRING BACK DYNAMIC WEATHER, HALF WAY THROUGH A MATCH IT SHOULD START RAINING PLEASE BRING BACK DYNAMIC WEATHER
    19. Able to change away shirt colour at start of season and choose shirt designs
    20.. Goal of the month
    21.Player of the month
    22. Manager of the month
    22.Add more commentators(it gets very unrealistic after a whilE, GREAT IDEA HAVE MORE THAN JUST THE SAME 2 FOR EVERY MATCH
    HAVE MAYBE 2 PAIRS ONE COMMENTATE ON ONE MATCH AND ANOTHER ON ANOTHER MATCH A GOOD NEW IDEA
    23.the corwd needs to be more realistic. more noises and actual team chants from real clubs.
    24.when a goal is scored it wud be good for the crowd to actually move.
    25. more leagues from england especially & worldwide INCLUDING RUSSIAN, ARGINTINA AND OTHER LEAGUES
    26.GET THE LICENCE FOR THE DUTCH NATIONAL TEAM
    27.GET THE LICENCE FOR THE DUTCH LEGUE
    28.Be able to change to day or not weather on manager mode… Also snow and rain
    in the winter the game should start at day and by the time it is finished it should be darker as in winter in a football match it end dark and starts day
    29.Have a TV company sponsor the game to make it feel more like you’re watching a match on TV (Sky Sports , Setanta , maybe ESPN) although don’t overuse the TV companies name or make it too commercial (e.g. “Setanta Sports’ FiFa 2009″) But please don’t have a made up TV company like EA Sports TV , the EA Sports Boots are bad enough).
    30. Better Commentary
    – This is hard to explain but say if there is a shot that is narrowly wide have the commentator stop what he is saying and go “Ooooooohâ€? or something. In FiFa 20008 he says all the build up and by the time he comments on the shot the GK has already taken the kick out.
    31.More time to complete transfers during Pre-Season
    32.More goal celebrations PES has over 70
    33.4th Official (cut-scenes)
    34.Be able to see substitutes warming up + interacting with departing player
    35. Weather effects ball physics
    36. Licensed GK gloves (Uhlsport, Reusch, Adidas)
    37. Club Mascots
    38. Child Mascots at start of game
    39.in Manager Mode play one day at a time
    40.Pre Season Friendlies
    41.Different kinds of cheering/atmospheres for different teams
    42.Be able to save replays straight to your hard drive
    43.Trophy presentations after winning a league or cup
    44,Player Exchange deals in Manager Mode
    45.Be able to edit your kit after a season in manager mode, because playing season after season in the same kit is really UNREALISTIC
    46.Don’t have 3rd kits as unlockable extras, they should be available from the start
    47.If your team is losing late in the game you are showed cut-scenes of fans leaving the stadium
    48.When defending a free kick choose what action your wall carries out
    49.be able to just play a penalty shootout without going through a whole match
    50.Get licence for UEFA champions legue and UEFA cup

    thank you if you read it please take attension and try to include these things ! ! !

  23. Johnson says:

    I think you should make the stadiums more relistic. And record singing from different games in real life and put them on the team e.g go to home park (Plymouth Argyle) and record the fans singing and put it on the actual game so when your playing you will feel that the crowd is there. Its just an idea but i think people will really like that!

  24. David says:

    1) they should make the transfers more realistic
    2) more player pictures and faces.
    3) more league and club badges and shirts. f.eks the Russian Premier league
    Argentina, Sweden, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Leagues aswell.
    4) More Stadiums.

  25. david says:

    you should make it so you can play against real people all over the world to make it more harder and then for people to be ranked on how well they do so it should have a leaderboard

  26. 123431 says:

    I sont know if this is possible but I think ewerybody would like this, that in fm09 you should play in the games,like in fifas.!! I think that it would be cool that you would play in the games. eweryone would buy this game so think about it.!!

  27. Luis says:

    fifa 08 was kool but the thing i didnt like about it was that you cant buy your own cleats!
    anyways..in FIFA 09 you guys should add award ceremonies if you are in the top scorers and stuff like that.it would also be great if the players could come out in magazines and TV! in half time let us see wats happening in the locker room and it would be great if you could change cleats(do to the weather)and also make injuries more realistic!lastly,you guys should make fans more realistic and have kids go to the games too!and for the MEXICAN league,you guys should have a band playing during the game,like in real life!and people who said that you could drive to the stadiums…have them play the SIMS!lol.but for real thats ***!well hope you guys get some of these ideas.THANKS EA SPORTS!
    -LUIS

  28. Krystian says:

    THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME AND OTHER PLAYERS OF COURSE SO PLEASE CONSIDER IT
    1. you should make fifa manager 09 avaliable on PS3 as well as Xbox 360, cause then people dont have to upgrade their computers
    2. make fm09 avaliable in US
    3. be able to convert fm09 to fifa 09 like play ur games in fifa 09 on xbox 360 and then play the career in fm09

    These are very improtant things that fm 09 should have, and making it out on ps3 and xbox360 would help the sales go up
    Thanks, Krystian

  29. Oscar says:

    You need to give some advantage to the ‘home’ team when playing two legged knock-out matches, maybe ensure all their players are on top form or in peak condition compared to the away team, therefore allowing the ‘home’ team an advantage and forcing the ‘away’ team to focus more on their tactics.

  30. Ali says:

    Training must be more complicated and we should be able to train our team and watch their training…
    It’d be great if we could punish our players for missing training sessions and so on.
    Manager must have a greater role in matches and it’s better to have a view of game from his eyes and play a better role in managing the team.

  31. Lil all says:

    Let us have the choice to see the actual players – and in training

  32. Chase says:

    I. Bring back the CREATE-a-CLUB feature
    A. Be able to IMPORT your own crests/shields from online!

    II. Bring back INDOOR 6 v 6 fields (only 1 or 2, so as to not detrack from FIFA Street)

    III. Add a CREATE-a-STADIUM mode (to recreate our favorite local fields!)

    IV. Include create-a-player templates to help speed up the early basics

    V. Be able to choose create-a-player names off a list so the commentators would actually say the real names ala NBA Live

    VI. In Be-a-Pro mode, have the camera zoom in directly behind your players head when on defense and the ball is at the top of the field (I can’t even tell when my own team scores!)

    FIFA makes me happy!

  33. david says:

    you should be able to watch your team train

  34. reynov says:

    more AI intellegence

  35. chato says:

    there should be training sessions in manager mode so they can gain expirience also there should be more soccer teams

  36. Christopher says:

    You should have Fifa Manager 09 on PS3. Not alot of people can afford to upgrade their computer, but more people has got the new PS3. You would sell alot more copies and the graphics would be fab. I would be more than happy to pay £49.99 if was out on PS3.

  37. phill says:

    i think a very good improve will b to add the real badges and all division for argetina league

  38. Dale Black says:

    Well not much need to change, but more could be added i played all the manager games and they much more. I would love to use more than one player when i’m playing. Teams may be interested in my work so why dont they offer me a contract. More international teams i cant even play with my player if he get called up for the international squad whats up with that we have alot of personal stuff why dont we get to use them. More realistic players should want to come to your club i love to buy south american players so y cant i get the really young ones just simple stuff sometimes the game gets boring but i love it but some more stuff to keep us playing play play play

  39. jamie says:

    the graphics should improve and before you buy any of the games make sure your ram is over 125mb and graphics card is over 64mb

  40. charlie taylor says:

    Fifa 08 is good, please dont put in anymore personal life, dont let it get away from thefootball, i’ve got my own personal life and don’t like the game sims lol!!
    the main problem i have with FIFA 08 is if a game gets cancelled due to internationals or waterlogged pitch, should be able to choice when to play the game in hand. evertime i get a game match canceled i end up having to play 3 games in 3 days.. lets start seeing the leagues with teams having games in hand.

  41. Andrew says:

    National Team Manager

  42. Craig says:

    Bring out FIFA Manager 09 on the PS3 – PS3 graphics and good game
    Graphics on the PC are nothing compared to next gen FIFA that would worry me….it would lag behind
    but big one…..FIFA Manager should link with FIFA 09…you should have it on the PS3 then if you play a game on FIFA the game saves then when you load up FIFA manager you have to react to the games you played on FIFA (whichever ones you choose) THAT WOULD ROCK
    Two genres is nice but to link them would mean big money i think…..
    Managing is cool but tbh gets a little tedious after a while.
    CRAIG

  43. kleber says:

    First and most important, LISTEN TO OUR SUGESTIONS!
    we play the game, and if we say we want something, it’s because we consider it important !
    so, please, try to listen to our sugestions as much as possible!

    MUCH Better AI on the matches. the AI is just not good enough.
    no way a team is able to keep pressure the entire 90 minutes like it happens with me every single game. don’t matter if I play home or away….my team is always under pressure the entire game.

  44. -------- says:

    its good but…..

    1 there should be even more real life player photos
    2 one should be able to manage brazil as national team
    3 and argentina and usa
    4 more details in private life
    5 own team but not manage
    6 more detail in stadium editor
    7 for away games like chamions league you should be abe to choose which airline takes you to the games
    8 talk to the fa more if you are england manager, and suggest hosting world cup
    9 they should sky sports news and bbc match of the day

    you should be able to change your kit and choosing any type of sponsor u want

  47. Omar [the] Great! says:

    theres not a lot wrong with the 2008 manager mode but, iv always wantd 2 be able 2 play a ‘kick off’ match with my manager mode team, especialy once iv made special signings. This is because me and others are always arguingf about whos mangaer mode team is the best, at least if we could play with them in ‘Kick off’ we’ed be able to “battle it out”!!!! Thanks for letting me make this point, iv always wantd 2, Omar.

  48. magic says:

    be able to have a bookmakers page where you can put your hard earnt cash to win.Bet on games and scroes including your own to win some extra £$£$£

  49. steve says:

    1) you should be able to put a bid in even if transfer status set to unavailable
    2) you should be able to appeal for things.
    3) you should be abler to watch highlights of your training sessions
    4) items from your private life, should count for something.
    5) you should have parents, and not start on £0
    6) you should be able to take out personal loans.
    7) official managers needed!!!!
    8)when your the owner you should be able to hire and fire managers.
    9) you should get sacked, if you take out like a massive money loan, and go way over budget, cus you can do all that on still not get sacked!!!!
    10) you should get to make new kits, for the strat of every season, which should be easy to use, and have your teams sponsor on it.
    11) More private events should happen. ie) more uncles birthdays and stuff
    12) More sports should eb available in prvate life, such as darts pool etc etc
    13) Should eb more detail, in making your guys face , and stuff
    14) more interviews should be on it.
    15) there should be relationships between players.
    16) There should be a newspaper with articles and stuff.
    when you are asked to sign a youth player, you should be able to see how good he is.
    17) you should be able to see highlights of best players, in youth trials!!!!
    18) Goalkeepers need to be smarter in matches
    19) more desperate defending needed, ie last ditch tackles.
    20) players need to develop styles, ie the way they run.
    21) some players, need to dominate on the pitch against certain players, ie cristiano ronaldo will keep on skinning riise or something.

    o and dunno why i had ronaldo skinning riise since i support lfc

  50. jon says:

    1. squad numbers in lower leagues should be all the same and should be realistic.
    2. should show graphics of manager on the sidelines
