dgrees360:

we need propper money like 50m not 50000

yeah that really sucks and makes the game unrealistic. alot of the players are overpriced too

there is proper money isnt there?? i mean, you get your pick between us dollars, euros, and engl pounds.

---

i dont think so. pretty sure there isnt. but i play xbox 360 soooo mayb.

but another thing is the loans should work alot better. and you shouldnt hav to increase the price so much to sign sum players. and it should say how happy players are at the club and how they get along and how vulnarable they are to moving teams also rumour mill would be nice

hmm...you've got me there, i'm not sure

i think you bid for players in thousands (points) rather than £/$ ect. have a check later

yeah in total club manager they have fights within the dressing room and coutry-mates strike friendship quickly and there is morale to see how happy they are..theyre rumours in TCM as well

i think fifa should become a two dvd game. one dvd for extras, tournaments, multiplayer and fun matches etc. and the other for career so we can have all these things, an in depth mangerial playing game with out the hastle of taking out the tcm disk and loading fifa up then switching again and agian.

Ok I think people are  kinda going overboard with some of the suggestions. That said I think most are quite good. Here are a few more from me:

1) We should be able to unsettle players and hjack them in the transfer window, all clubs do  it!!

2) Please stop your extreme bias to certain players/ teams. Henry/ Arsenal  in particular comes to mind here......the game persists in allowing them to make brilliant plays by default.....after you work very hard to score.....all of a sudden Arsenal's players start ripping 30-40 yard shots and scoring them. Being a fifa loyalist over the years, I'm pretty sure about the Arsenal bias.

3) I also agree about the overly rigid development of players....I think you should be able to turn more players into world class....especially if you have the funds to do so.

4)There seems to be a bias in giving away free kicks...not sure about it but it sure seems that way...and scoring them just at the top of the box is way to easy if you know what you're doing

5) playing vs the computer and your players bakc away when they are doing tricks....this is ridiculous ...why give them twice as much space

6) Button responsivity is really erratic and inconsistent. You can press pass a thousane times and nothing happens...you can also press it once and after a series of moves, the player suddenly turns around and passes how you wanted to pass ages ago

no the thing is they try to model shots and passes after the real thing, i.e. you need the necessary space to make them....this wi why sometimes you press shoot  a thousand times and nothing happens if he in being pulled back...however there are also times when a player is free, but continues to run like a wild horse withoug passing or shooting!

15. Customize game kits. Ex: Red Jersey, White Shorts, Black Socks or Red Jersey, Black Shorts, Black Socks or White Jersey, White Shorts, Black Socks.  So many possibilities
16. Stadium Editor- Ability to change name of stadium.  Instead of UK division 3 style, name it “Superdome Stadium”
17. Instead of buying new stadiums, you add additions to your existing one to create more capacity.  Add blocks of seats, luxury boxes, offices and levels.  In turn you will increase your match revenue
18. Ability to select type of pitch and pay for pitch changes when needed

24. When you get a staff upgrade, you don’t get a whole new person, the upgrade goes towards the staff members stats.

33. Champions League and UEFA Cup finals to be played in random stadiums throughout Europe every year.  Ability to customize the list of stadiums.
34. League theme music for Premiership and other leagues. I know the Premier League one used to be there.
35. Champions League and UEFA Cup music as well
36. At the beginning of the season, select your favourite international team.
37. You don’t just manage your club team, you also play as the International team

40. Play in World Cups and Continental Cups every year they are available

42. Pick your team
43. Send rest to Reserves and Youth
44. Youths and Reserves can get injured during their games and the senior team is notified
45. Call up as needed
46. Have staff upgrades for youth system coach
47. Have the option of a pre season tournament or tour.  Choose a tournament format, number of teams, continent or country and name the cup or play a pre set tournament.  You could also take a country tour and play teams from that country. Ex; take Manchester United on a North American tour and select your opposition and number of games
48. Kind of like Create a tournament inside of career mode
49. Rewards for completing pre season tournaments and tours
50. Club World Cup Tournament for Champions League winners and equivalents
51. Fixture editor- Create your own fixtures list.  Move games around etc.  This would allow a user to copy their team’s real life fixtures or simply move fixtures around so you don’t end up with a cup game and season game on the same day or same weekend
52. Trophy Room-  View all your awards in one giant (or small) room.  Kind of like a tour
53. Milestones- keep track of manager’s tournament records and not just their season records.  I want to know how many games in total I played in a season and over my career.  Special bonuses for things like 100^th, 500^th, 1000^th game in charge.
54. Reward Ideas- The store is a great place to get rewards, but some just aren’t worth playing for.  Here are some things I would like to play for.  New boots, new leagues, new tournaments, new teams, new cups, new game modes, club specific footballs, new sponsors, new players (classic players), any thing that creates incentive to keep playing
55. Longer and more elaborate celebrations when you win a cup.  Different ones as well. A 1 min celebration is never enough.  I want to feel that I really accomplished something special
56. Scouting reports for teams in your league.  See who’s hot who’s not and who’s injured
57. Player watch list- Send out a scout to look for new talent.  Keep an eye on them and watch their development over the years
58. Real player pictures for in game menus
59. The ability to set up Charity or Testimonial Matches throughout the season and choose the squads. Ex: Manchester United vs. European XI or Manchester United vs. Celtic
60. The ability to name the matches. Ex: Roy Keane Testimonial
61. Jersey Closet- Every time you beat an opponent, their jersey goes into your jersey closet. I guess its equivalent to swapping jerseys at the end of the game.  For Example: If you were to beat Manchester away, their red jersey would go in your closet and if you were to beat them at home, their white jersey would go in your closet.  Since you can choose which jerseys they wear at the beginning of the game, you can determine which jersey you get if you win.  There could be rewards for collecting jerseys.  Collect a jersey from every premiership team and you get some sort of bonus.  You can also view your closet at anytime to see which jerseys you have collected and figure out which ones you need.  Some of the bonuses could be retro jerseys or something.

 

In Game

 

1. Score in top corner to reflect the league you are playing in.  Ex: Premiership, Bundisliga, French Ligue 1, Champions League, FA Cup, etc.
2. More of a TV style opening presentation and to be league specific to create that certain atmosphere.  Atmosphere is the hardest thing to recreate.  It’s all in the little details.
3. Updated commentary
4. Hostility Meter- Raises with bad calls, viscous tackles, cards, etc.  Starts higher for rivalries.  Ex: Man United vs. Arsenal would start with a high intensity as opposed to Liverpool vs. Tottenham.  That’s not to say the rivalries can’t be created.  If a game starts tame and then gets very physical and ends on a high note, the next game between the two clubs would start on a higher level of hostility whether it is a cup game or a league fixture.  Once the level gets to about 90%, things will start flying onto the pitch.  You want to avoid getting to 100% though because the clubs may be fined for their part.  It’s not to say that both clubs would be fined.  If one team is out of control and the other is playing responsible football, only one team may be charged.  If this happens too many times during the course of a season, a team could see a deduction in points next term, relegation or even a ban from European Play for a season.  The object then becomes to play a fair responsible game of football, but that doesn’t always happen.
5. In Game ticker- gives updates on games happening at the same time you are playing as well as games that have already been completed that day.  If you need 3 points to overtake Arsenal for the league lead and a ticker pops up saying they are losing to Chelsea, you know you best win the game to take top spot.
6. More injuries- Injuries don’t only happen during a tackle, they happen when players jump for the ball and clash heads or come down on their ankle wrong.  They happen when players block shots.  Goalies get injured when they charge for the ball and a player doesn’t stop or when they dive for it and come down on their shoulder.  There are so many more possibilities.  I don’t like to see injuries, but they are a big part of the game and they give your reserves and youths a better shot at the senior team.
7. Players on pitch to be speaking and shouting in the language of their country
8. A pop up during the game should show how many people attended the match
9. Villain rating- If an away player makes a crunching tackle on a home player, every time he touches the ball, he gets jeered.  So players may play better when getting jeered and some might just want to leave the pitch.
10. More elaborate Manager History- Keeps track of which teams you have played and beaten.  Who your rival teams are. Total matches in charge.
11. The ability to make substitutions on the fly. It is a pain to have to stop the game, go to the menu, select your players, swap them, go back to the menu and then restart the game. It would be nice if you could press the select button or something and have a little window pop up with a list of names you could scroll through. You could do it anytime during the game or a cut scene.
