Will the new release incorporate any of the following?
1. Multiple players for the Season option, not just for custom league and cup
options. Also the possiblity of multiple teams in the season game being selected from
several different leagues, not only teams from one particular country's league? The
alternative is off course having the ability to customise a season?
2. A quick on screen in play substituition that avoids the lengthy menu swap? For
example during play in a match, to substitue a player, pressing say the 'shift key' (for
example) and entering the shirt number of the player to come off, followed by the
number of the player to come on. The substituition subsequently takes effect as soon
as the ball goes out of play, or as allowed by the games football rules.
3. With the exception of a full length 45min half game, will there be a switch from
"compressed time" to real time, every time a free kick is to be taken or the goal
keeper returns the ball back into the field for play, but only for that duration of time,
after which the clock switches back to "compressed time" - (whatever time was set
for a half e.g. 2min halves).
4. Include a stadium editor, so that every league team can have their own stadium,
for on-disk memory space reasons (by on-disk I mean the CD the game comes in)
To allow fans who have more time, to design a stadium looking closer to their team
or country's league teams or several league teams (unlimited number limited only by
the space on the users hard drive) as it would be too space demanding to include
over 100 different stadiums for all the teams in the new game, the famous ones could
be preset, but this option could allow, alot more diversification. A website, could
have the actual designs of every teams stadium for those who wish to edit, but have
no idea what the stadium looks like.
5. Commenatry that says the name of the teams grounds (stadium like Nou Camp
for example)? Also using the keepers name during the game, instead of the usual
"...the keeper saves.." and the user of players names instead of the use of third
person pronoun "...he..." and finally, the -then- manager's name instead of "...the
manager would be pleased with all the 3 points in the bag..."
6. Would any of the following mistakes in the previous game be corrected!
a) Red and yellow card bookings for European games not transferable between
european competitions and the country's league games i.e. footballer sent off in
say the champions league, would not be suspended in home leagues.
b) The error, that sometimes occurs when footballers are injured as happens for
subsequent matches after the injury, the footballers in FIFA2000 sometimes
remains on the substitute section of the starting line-up menu in the strategy
section, as opposed to being at the bottom of the reserves list as happens
sometimes, the name is also impossible to move and you are left with only
having four instead of the usual five susbstitutes to choose from.
c) For the European Champions league in the season option, prevent teams from
the same country being put in the same group for the 1st and 2nd group stages
of that competition as often happens.
Finally.
7. Would the new game include a Season game editor for European Club leagues
and championships? By this I mean, a chance for the game user to decide with some
degree of freedom, what teams its country's FA (virtual off course) first league would
allow to compete in the European champions cup and UEFA cups. In a season
game it could be possible to have monitor a country's teams progress in Europe over
a few years and after performing well or badly over 3 years (for example), decide to
add one or deduct one team place from the country's entry to either of those two
competion, another country receiving that place, and a maximum of 4 places for one
country, this option coupled with the multiple user option enquired about in point 1 of
this e-mail would make for sensational and addictive playing! (This option is
suggested, as at the moment, UEFA are making such a decision converning places
awarded to German and English tems, the latter gaining one place in the ECC and
the former losing one).
