--Pitch bigger
--players that look like virtua striker 2's players
--linesman and benches, coaches, substitutes , ball boys, security staff(not necessary, but better if there is )
--a mode to change from arcade to simulation and vice versa
arcade means fast game play and no dribble skills (like virtua striker )
simulations means just like the real soccer
game in the world, the present system seems to be a mix of arcade and simulation
--new player animations
esp the shooting animation, real life players don't shoot like that,
goalkeepers seldom use 2 hands to save a low shot(except david james), they always use 1 hand, maybe include both animations and make them random or WLS 99 's goalkeeper
--better ball physics
the ball seem to float in the air when using lob in mid field
--shooting bar
with this, EA will not have to program missed shots, it is better because shots r controlled by us rather den randomly miss some shots or looking at the players's stats. Even the best player in the world can miss
--headers should be timed
--goalkeepers logic
goalkeepers r too invincible in fifa games
they should behave more like virtua striker 2v98 's goalkeepers.(parry more if u shoot more)goalkeepers confidence should be build up too, like save a series of saves, or else just be a complete idiot in the game(like taibi) or just average
--correct rosters and facial features of players otherwise the license from fifa would be useless, even games that do not have the license to put correct names or player(like ronaldo) perform better den fifa. EG ronaldo in virtua strker 2v99
--jerseys
since EA cannot duplicate the jerseys sold commercially(they cannot even duplicate adidas jerseys even though adidas is one of the sponsors of fifa), at least make them look like them. EG. although nike is not a sponsor in virtua striker 2 games, countries sponsored by nike really look like the real thing(only without the cross i think)
i just want to say that i am not a Virtua Striker 2 fanatic (i play other soccer games too) but i think the guys in japan did it right(although virtua striker is not perfect too). i think that even ISS on the super nintendo is better den FIFA except for the graphics. (by konami , another jap company)
so i am very dissappointed wif fifa and EA, if they can make games like NAB live , but they produce this kind of game in fifa, sigh, i think soccer gaming is really bad on the PC (CM3 is good though), unless konami decides to release their games on the PC, otherwise i will not play soccer games on PC, and wait for FF8 on the PC to come out....
***why does all good things originate from japan????
btw i am not japanese...
