Overall I think the fifa series is the best but as to be expected there are always imporvements to be made.
Game play:
I like the new passing and shooting model but it was a bad time to discontinue the practice mode when it is needed now more than ever with a completley new gameplay model.
The defenders, especially on the wings mark very poorley and seem to react awfully late when the cpu make a run down the wing.
When there is a 50/50 ball near one of the touch lines my players unrealisticly do not have the control to stop the ball before it goes out unless your happen to clear it back the opposite way.
At least for me, the computer rarely slide takles leaving me with few chances for free kicks.
The goalkeepers are decent but I don't understand the occasional rediculous slow shots that go right through their hands. Bobbles should not always be easily picked up...the opposing foward should have a chance to shoot at the ball.
It is pretty unrealistic when a player can head in a rocket shot from the top of the box.
Stats and Ratings
I would like to see higher numbers in the rating system. The current system does not offer enough parity. Example...Micheal Owen has remarkable accuracy and shots the ball with decent power and is a great finisher but his power does not match that of Steven Gerrard. They should both have a 6 or 7.
I would like to see more indepth goalkeeper ratings like catching ability, ability to handle crosses, punting power, and throwing strength.
My long time pet peeve is when a player with inferior ratings beats someone with a much higher rating for a header. I can see if the one player already is in a better position but not when they are shoulder to shoulder waiting for the ball to come down. Example: a defender with the strenght of 6 and a heading skill of 7 gets beat by someone with the strength of 3 and the heading skill of 4. Or a weaker player bumbing a stronger player off the ball...especially when it take so long to recover from a bumb when the opposing foward is on a breakaway...reaction time would realisticly be quicker.
I would like to see a more in depth stats system (like ea nhl): I'd like to see assists, matches played perhaps, goalkeeper wins and losses and maybe shut outs and goals against average. Team stats like passing percentage etc.
Teams:
My players in 2002 barely hit the upper 80's in fatigue even though I'm usually chasing and lossing in possesion. And I have to put the referee on the strictest level just to get a card. Obiously the formation bug sucks.
I'd like to see an overall system of fatigue so I'd have to rest players and use my full squade. Not to mention I haven't had one injury in 6 seasons. (goalkeepers should get injured also)
In a franchise mode or something teams should have training ground injuries and levels of injuries...ie...players may not be 100% but they can play as opposed to players with severe injuries who can't play.
I'd like to be able to select the goalkeeper jerzeys. And for the fun of it maybe pants or certain kinds of gloves depending on the weather.
A mode where maybe at the end of the season you have to sign players or let them go according the financial situation and the ablility to gain more money by winning the league, qualifying for the championsleague or losing money for getting relegated.
Leagues and Tournaments
I'd like to be able to play with multiple teams in a season mode. If I'm constantly winning I'd like to beable to control a second team so I have someone to contend with.
Player selection for National teams rather than having to change current players which affects other teams.
Atleast for larger leagues, 2nd tear divisions would be great.
Indoor mode was fun. Perhaps a footsal and american style (with dasherboards) mode selection. Maybe even actual leagues (misl)
Stadiums:
In some stadiums the fans should be closer to the field. And whats with the high school benches....they should have the covered alcoves.
The fields are better as far as size goes...finally the goalkeeper's punts are realistic. Something should be incorperated for homefield atvantage: certain chants (should be able to import them), which goal to defend choice, boos for goals against and fouls and the such, not cheers for every goal. Maybe the crowd wears your colours.
Is that long enough for ya.....sh**
