Even the most hardcore FIFA fan would admit that the difference between every version and its predecessor are minimal but when a game's fans suggest more than 5000 for their annual treat, it makes you wonder what exactly do they like in it?
At the risk of sounding over-criticizing, we'll also point out that Fifa fans did not turn to the official EA forums to submit their suggestions. Instead, they decided to submit their ideas to fan site FIFPlay.
At the time of writing this article, FIFPlay has already received more than 5600 posts. The most common requests are in order (as best as we could judge):
- More leagues
- Better graphics
- More "lively" crowd
- Juniors academy
- More moves and better tackling system
- More freedom in the player editor
- Better Goal Keepers
- More managing (merge FIFA Manager into FIFA)
- Indoor games
On the other side, some posts were too hilarious that we couldn't decide if they are serious or not. Spelling and grammar mistakes are left unedited:
- a dive button to fool the ref!!!
- Deadly injuries
- I need in fifa2008 a option for a playing 45 minute exatly
- referees mistakes
- Make the players get older when they get thoungh seasons
- Offside celebrations
- when the games finish shake hands take of their t -shirt
- Hey, you guys have to rebuild the game completely, because if you have ever played Pro Evolution soccer you won't have fun with FIFA
- copy pes abit
- Streakers !!!!
- it would be quite cool if in fifa 08 you could play a match and you were the referee
