The GREAT COMPILED FiFA2000 SUGGESTION DICTIONARY!!

[coa_034]

I agree with almost all of your suggestions. I also have a few. Did you notice that if put two teams to a demo game, and you watch the entire game (even 10 minute halves), at the end there would be 3 or less shots on goal and 90 % of the time the score would be 0-0. This is not that important but it's still something to improve. World class level sucks in fifa 99, because it's too fast, computer tackles like crazy, you have to make a 1000 passes etc. I find myself going back to play pro even though it's too easy for me, but it's still 10 times more realistic.
About the crowds. Good suggestions, and also I don't know if anyone noticed, but in soccer the fans always put transparents and flags all around the stadium. That would be pretty cool along with many different chants installed. Also in most soccer cities around the world, fans sing for the entire duration of the game.
Of course at least putting all euro leagues in the game would be good, even not so famous ones. like yugoslavia, romania, bulgaria etc.

that's all .

Hi Kewell,

Great dictionary I'm backing U up 100% I also have some frustraiting comments to add.

1. The goallies could waste over 2 mins holding the ball when their team is winning and the doesn't count to 6 nor 7 nor 8 but he lets the goallie wast as much time as possible and most times I'm forced to foul to gain a few mins especially near the end of the game.

2. The dammed refs never play the advantage even if the player scores while U foul the ref could unbeliveably disallow the goal and give them a freekick from the midfield and the same when a penalty is taken.

3. Where are the linesmen???

4. Refs must make some bad mistakes (they are only human).

5. I've never seen a single hand ball or a high foot i.e (dangerous play).

6. As U mentioned the trophy looks bad, you are never handed the cup (and where Sepp Blatter to hand the winning team the cup). The presentation of the cup and the celebration after a long hard season is very poor and far too short the players should also congratulate the opposite team win or lose after every match.

7. If FIFA 2000 is to be called FIFA they must implement the RULES of FIFA to it's full extent as I said the goallie has only 6 secs to release the ball or face a yellow card and a freekick and the cpu should also make mistakes.

What do U all think?

Kewell please inform us if U get any reply from EA SPORTS.

Once again cool dictionary. Thanks LFC...

 

[LFC Fowler Owen England]

Yes Kewell I remembered 3 more points.

1. The position of a team in the league should be written to the left of the teams' names in the league table instead of being left blank and have to count how far from the top or how close to the bottom.

2. If the ability choose to see the players name aswell as or instead of the players numbers, plus better statistics like the teams pattern at home or away.

3. I also hope the commentators say real words, not words like unawares or did he mean underwares? The commentary was quite boring lets pray its better this time around.

Bye... LFC...

[goody]

That's great idea.
But do you think EA would read it?
I wrote and wrote about Russian league,
but it still not included.
Now my suggestions:
1.Russian League
2.More penalties, goalies never do penalties even though they make fouls
3.Better Free kicks, for ex. kicks like Mihailovich (higher than the wall, but not wide of it)
4.Higher resolution
5.Player names
6.Real jerseys
7.Worser goalies
8.Long shots
9.Goalie come out of his box (when 1 to1)
10.Dribbling
11.Real Stadiums with real stands on each of them with real corner flags etc.
12.Hall of Fame (When you win a Cup your Result is saved there automatically under your name)
13.Career mode: after you played italian champ and there f.e. Bari becomes champ
It must play in future champions league
And this must be in every league and after every champ
14.More statistics
15.Photos of the players
16.Better management(for example you get money for winning championship or smth else)
17.Improved tactics (smth like RTWC98 but also with option to put your player in ANY place on the field)
18.Better Refery
19.Linesmen
20.Ceremonies of opening in international and cup matches
21.Intertoto Cup
22.Beach soccer
23.Indoor Football
24.MINI-FOOTBALL WITH REAL TEAMS
WHERE DINA(MOSCOW) WILL BE. IT'S
EUROPEAN CHAMPION.
25.3D ball without this *** frames
26.I think there must be a VETERAN TEAM where the greatest stars (D.Maradonna,L.Yashin,Pele,Y.Croif, M.Van Basten, O.Blokhin,Salenko,Ziko,
Muller, Zammer, Barezi, Fogts,Klinnsi,B. Charlton,Di Stefano, Pushkash,Platini and some others) will play with their 3-3-4,4-2-4,or3-4-3 scheme. It will be great.
Also it must be a selection of stars, DREAM TEAM.
27.Handball
28.Fighting (everyone knows Dugarry for that)
29.Refery MUST be fair, when you play world class, he almost notimes gives comp
cards, but he can easily show you red card
30.I think we must can HIT REFERY After (or during) the match. Sometimes it's necessary.
30.Injuries. There should be more injuries,
And they must be more serious(some of them for ex. 4 months and some 2 weeks)
or anyth like this
31.There MUST BE ATTACKING LB AND RB
32.More realistic weather and field (for example there must be dirt and pools on the field during rain)
33.More animation in the game + speech of PLAYERS (not commentator)
34.Shouts of attenders, REAL participation
of them in the match
35.Maybe some fightings on the tribunes
36.Players must feel the weather(it must be difficult for them in heat, rain and cold)
37.Real Random Weather (No Heat in December)
38.Maybe some Movies in the beginning of the match: introduction of teams(their real games,goals,stars),stadiums,cities, coaches, maybe arriving of bus with players
39.And smth like that |^| at the end of the match.
40.Prizes to best Goalies,Forwards(Golden Bootse),etc. with movies
41.Celebrations after winning of MATCH (any) and MADNESS AT THE STADIUM AND IN THE C I T Y after winning a CUP or CHAMPIONSHIP
42.Better player faces
43.TCP/IP
44.Some empty leagues to fill 'em yourself
45.REALISTIC TRANSFER SYSTEM
46.FAIR SYSTEM OF PLACING TEAMS INTO GROUPS IN YOUR OWN CUPS
47.REAL SCORES IN ALL MATCHES
(i saw Anorthosis-Real,5-0 and Barsa-Toronto,0-7)
48.Resolution at least 800*600
49.Diving and cards for it
50.A STAR ON THE BOX BUT NOT SUCKER

 

[Ste Lloyd]

Karan, I suggested fair play, but no one answered

You'll never be able to fit all that on one game

 

[Soccer Fans]

I want the following features can be added:
1. Direct shoot from the corner kick like Roberto Carlos or Rivaldo.
2. Indirect freekick .
3. Direct throw-in into the box.
4. Coaches and subsituted players sitting in the bench.
5. The manager shouts and argues with the referee when a foul is not awarded a freekick.
6. Warm up of the subsituted players before they are replaced.
7. More dummy moves to cheat the opponent players.
8. The winning team tries to kill the clock when the match is going to the end.
9. The tried players drink water in the match especially the weather is hot.
10. The fans clapped for a good pass or a good performed player to be replaced.
11. Some players or managers are interviewed by the reporters after the match.
12. The goalkeeper eg Schmeichel may rush to the box to attempt for a goal.
13. Some players' jerseys may be pulled or even damaged.
14. Some players may elbow or push their enemy before they receive the ball.
15. The pitch may be damaged after a harsh sliding tackle.

 

[Dimon]

I need to add:
There should be snow on the ground when it is snowing, and sleet on the ground when raining.
Weather also needs to change.
and sometimes it has to become darker when the game goes. (for example: the game starts at 7:30, when it is bright , and usually it ends at evening, 9:00)
Though there are some great ideas.

 

[Dimon]

2 Goody:
You think Salenko is a star veteran?
1st: He is still playing, I mean he almost went to Sedan, in French Premier League.
2nd: Why should he be a star? I mean, he only scored 5 goals in a single game and broke the record of scoring goals in one single game in the World Cup, but, you know, he was not the best player in Russian roster that time. Any forward would score 5 goals...
And after the World Cup, he went to Glasgaw Rangers from Real Sociedad, and Glasgaw did not resign him in the next season.
So, we had better players in our roster.

 

[Dave M]

Great ideas. I've only one to add - the penalty area arcs and centre circle are too small in FIFA99 (only about 6 yards in radius rather than 10) and need enlarging.

 

[Can Tümer]

I agree all of you guys you are genious!

 

[Parma Mania]

I think the most ¡§necessary" characteristics should be as follows:
1.)STYLE for players...etc. offensive(always move forward to score)
defensive(never score...he he just kid)
dramatic(like Chilavert)
aggresive(always make hard foul ...like Keane)
...and so on...
2.)Long shorts as you guys mentioned.
3.)Creation of roster player(like in NBA...)
4.)More attributes...(like patience, jumping ability, consistency...)
5.)Players could miss games due to injury and illness...
6.)More formation in the management...(like 1-3-4-2...9-0-1...etc)
7.)Different style of play by the team
8.)Coach for the team(different coach has different style)
9.)More realistic gameplay...(no more "world class" Jamaica. Jamaica is not a world class team!)
10.)Every one has chance to get hurt, including the goalie.
11.)Famous Referee ...(Some referees are harsh while some are not)
12.)Wing-Back
13.)Teams like England have more cross while Colombia and other South American teams tend to play more short-pass.
14.)A Creative player can have more fancy moves.

 

[kewell]

Yeah good points there,Parma Mania!(Go Amoroso!!)Looks like we share the same "player characteristics" idea!

'n' Thanks for all the replies that you guys have posted me.
I think that some of the suggestions were nice but a little exaggerated.Well,we dun expect EA to add things like FIFA Fairplay kids(LOL!),women's teams,beach soccer or stretchers into FIFA2000.

I think that EA should make some players have "specialities" for example,Roberto Carlos will stand further back when taking free kicks,Ginola will then to dive more often and Giggs will then to be more pacey.Different teams should also have different playing styles like direct(the use of thru-balls),long ball,crossing or mixed.
Really hope EA includes the Argentinean league in FIFA2000.

 

[goody]

To Dimon
Really i don't think Salenko's the greatest It's only example. If you don't like it I can name F.Cherenkov maybe or someone else
PS I think Salenko is playing at Sjon
now (Switzerland 2nd division)

 

[FB TURK]

fifa 2k on dreamcast


PLEEEASE!!!

 

[JASON!]

no bad....

 

[Elninho]

My requests:

1. LINESMEN!!!
2. Better end-of-competition award presentation
3. Less time-wasting by goalies
4. Handballs
5. More fouls, more cards, more injuries, and more penalties!
6. Defensive options - man-marking, zone coverage, etc.
7. More stats - check out www.mlsnet.com for ideas, MLS definitlely keeps a lot of good stats!
8. HUMAN goalkeepers, not gods!
9. People on the sidelines
10. Interaction between player coming off, sub, and sideline official
11. Names on jerseys
12. Picking national squads (as in FIFA '98)
13. More realistic crowds and crowd responses
14. Club logos
15. PLACES listed in the league standings
16. Indoor mode - include the existing indoor leagues in the US, Mexico, Brazil, and Spain!
17. More realism in player ratings (I'm sorry, but Ronaldo just isn't worth 16 out of 16 in TACKLING! In FIFA '99, for some reason Roberto Carlos is a better attacker than Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is a better defender than Roberto Carlos.)
18. Classic mode
19. Advantage play
20. Computer making subs without needing to be prompted by bookings or injuries
21. Finer difficulty adjustments (It's a HUGE jump between Amateur and Pro, and an equally large jump between Pro and World Class!)
22. More realistic dribbling
23. Photos of selected players
24. Dream (All-Star) match option - pick players individually to form dream teams!
25. Realistic random weather - I've had just about enough of "Christmas in July"!
26. Better pre-match and post-match video
27. End-of-season player awards (top scorer, player of the year, GK of the year, Best XI, etc.)
28. Allow option for user to place teams in groups for cups
29. Different box layout - instead of just one star, put about a dozen stars on the front
30. Market value based on player performance
31. In league play, players on national team rosters lost for 1-2 matches at various times due to national team call-ups
32. Realistic field size and game speed
33. Passing and shooting need to be redone - the passes are often faster than shots, I find myself hitting the pass button a lot b/c it's more effective being used to shoot than even a regular shot
34. Player personalities - see USM 2 for examples
35. More formations allowed - OK, maybe I want to be Steve Sampson (American coach in World Cup) and play a 3-6-1! It's not necessarily a good idea, but why not let me try it anyway? FIFA '99 doesn't...
36. Famous referees - just pull out the FIFA list. Maybe just have 10 or so "styles" or "personalities," and match each ref to a style.
37. AI plays European or Latin American styles of play depending on team
38. Highlight reel
39. League-specific adboards
40. Multiple balls - maybe one for each league. Different leagues use different balls, and I would like to see them all available. Also, in the options, the ability to select a ball.

OK... now on to some more controversial issues.

Leagues and teams: My opinion is that users should be able to add new leagues and teams WITHOUT replacing existing ones. The same goes for stadia, adboard sets, balls, etc. I also think EA should either make extra leagues freely downloadable and/or produce a leagues/stadia CD which could include dozens of new leagues. See my other thread, "What FIFA 2k really needs," for more on this.

Full customization: This is more radical. I propose that the user should be able to change not only speed and field size, as Combatter suggested, but also things like number of players on field, number of subs, field SHAPE, offsides on/off/other (like the old NASL 35-yard offsides line), goal shape and size, different restarts (kick-ins replacing throw-ins, goalkeeper throws replacing goal kicks, etc.), side boards, differently-shaped or differently-sized penalty areas, time penalties (like ice hockey), and other rule changes. I realize this would be incredibly difficult to program, but if it were at all possible, it would be fun to play around with.

Kewell - from your post you sound like you play pro soccer in the United States. May I ask where you play? I just might recognize your name

- I follow MLS, the A-League, and both the WISL and NPSL (the indoor leagues).

 

[kewell]

Those are EXCELLENT suggestions man!
Well,I dun play pro soccer in a big league such as MLS,hehe...I just happen to play in Australia.
I'm of English,Australian and Argentine nationalities.But sorry,I can't speak any Argentine langauge!!

Come on everybody,make this topic HOT but posting in all your comments,we'll show EA the true soccer game that we desire...^5!

 

[purist]

KEWELL,
TRULY WICKED SUGGESTIONS AND I AGREE MOSTLY WITH WHAT YOU SAY..........I'M JUST GLAD I'M NOT PART OF THE DEVELOPEMENT TEAM!!!

 

[Elninho]

Oh... I just thought you might play in the US, specifically in the NPSL, because you mentioned how physical indoor soccer was, and the NPSL is known for being a very physical league, on the whole it's definitely one of the most physical soccer leagues, indoor or outdoor, that I know of. The WISL is also physical, but not as much as the NPSL.

Oh, and speaking of the NPSL... in total customization, it should be possible to also change the scoring system. The NPSL uses "basketball scoring" meaning that normal goals are worth 2 points, goals from outside a 3-point arc (which is 45 feet away from the goal) are worth 3 points, and penalty kicks are 1 point and always followed by a 2-minute power play (as in ice hockey). While I don't support basketball scoring in any way (when watching indoor soccer I prefer the WISL which uses regular 1-point-per-goal scoring), I think it should be an option in total customization if it's ever implemented, as well as the option of creating even more interesting scoring systems.
