I've been playing the Fifa-series for some time now, and one of the things that's always been irritating me is that the game isn't fair when it comes to skills and gameplay.
In many matches it seems like the game is deciding who's gonna win. Your passes are off, your shots never hit goal, you don't get freekicks, your defence or keeper makes silly mistakes that ends with a goal. The other side of the coin is when the game gives you everything on a silver platter. The mistakes your opponent makes, creates chances for you.
The easiest glitch in this context is the corners. I've done a little study on the subject, and spotted something weird.
On many corners the defending teams defenders are placed at wrong places, f.ex. Rio Ferdinand standing outside the box, while a player like Nani is covering a tall defender. This corners end either in a goal or a chance to score, unless the player playing is way off key when it comes to delievery.
So after experiencing this a couple of years now I hope EA will create a game that's fair and is based on the players skills, and not the games engine. This creates a huge problem when playing online, cuz the game's not fair.|||I totally agree with you. It's clear for me that there's a CODED COMPENSATION METHOD. In the career mode, this is even more perceptible...
FINISH THIS EA, I know that some * is required to do so, but I trust you have them.

Clamping Down on Cheats/Glitchers/The Offensive
Examples...
http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/378253.page
...the trigger glitch ( although tbf is being fixed by merely not giving you an option to look at the ratings screen, (wow, I wonder how long that took to program? :) ) however, it's March, people have got away with this glitch for far too long before EA woke up.
Played Besiktas the other day in 2v2, only for us to see that they Besiktas had recently signed Kaka, Messi, Rooney etc. etc. etc.
Leaderboard glitches, VP boosting/copying, offensive user names and Club names...Soooo....
We're all aware of the cheats etc., is it not time for EA to start stamping down on it? And what I mean by that is following Treyarch with Black Ops and temp/perma banning people's consoles from playing online. :) Yep, this is what they're doing, and it's not just one or two, they've gone on and unrelentlessly banned thousands of people. Complete zero tolerance for taking advantage of their game or offending other users, by misuse of usernames or emblems.
Of course we would need the ability to save entire matches and to report people i.e. a report button. (but surely these are overdue anyway?)
|||I'm not a big fan of banning people because it doesn't really solve the actual problem. But I do think EA should invest in match/user reporting features to allow the community to do some of the monitoring themselves, but more importantly makes it easier for EA to find those holes in their game and patch them.
|||Of course a glitch free game>Banning people.
But that's not feasible (especially when you look at ...well every FIFA.)
I think it's a good stance to take especially if you're going to take 5 months to fix a glitch, at least in the vast meatime you can ward people off from doing it with a big risk of punishment. Blacks Ops is testament for the success of this tactic.
As for people having offensive names, club names etc. how exactly do you tackle this apart from banning them?
Morons should be banned. :yessum:|||Nah I wasn't saying EA needs to make a glitch free game, but they need better methods to identify the glitches when they occur (because they will occur) and be able to find out why they happen and how to stop them. It wouldn't be taking 5 months if these things can be tracked faster.
I do agree about offensive names though as it's not really a fault in the system so perhaps the only step left for EA is to ban them temporarily and give them a better unchangeable name (something funny they're stuck with forever :) ). Though I'm not sure if that's EA's responsibility or MS/Sony's? .. either way, there's no place for them in the game and they definitely need some harsh measures.
|||Agreed on the identifying part.
Time it's taken is too long though. In the meantime (re: the trigger glitch) any form of real competiveness in the Club's leagues has become an absolute joke and bordering on pointless. In fact it's not bordering, it's ruined it -especially for people with elite clubs who take the leagues fairly seriously and play fairly.
However, if EA had done what B.O did, and threatened people with bans for taking advantage of their game's faults before they patched them (i.e. going outside the map etc. ) would we have seen the massive influx of cheats in Club mode, ruining it for everyone else?
Black Ops would suggest it wouldn't.
If it proves that they can't identify and fix glitches that ruin entire modes much better and quicker than they're exhibiting atm, I think this is a good solution, and deterrent that has proved to work.
|||
I'm wondering if FIFA has some sort of "evidence gathering system" that makes EA comfortable to warn people and later on carry through with those bans. For example, if somebody somehow cheats his way to 100 straight wins, do they appear any different on the server logs than somebody who has genuinely won 100 straight, or somebody whose opponents have quit on him in 100 straight wins? ... If EA do have such system in place, then I don't see why they wouldn't feel comfortable making such warnings and carry out with their promises.|||I always remember that video of Mr Rutter saying he had a specific team to watch and catch the cheaters for Fifa11 or was it Fifa10(not sure). What happened?

FIFA 12 Career Mode Improvements
1) Staff upgrades, scouting players & youth players should come back for 'Manager'
2) Play for Europe in the first season. It irratates me a little bit that no one even contests in Europe (even MUFC or Barca) until the first* mode season is completed.
3) Have the option to manage a national team after you've obtained a 5* rep as a manager or atleast there should be an option to manage a national team after your 15 years as a team manager to contest in qualifiers and cups
4) National games should come back for 'Player'
That's all I want right now for* mode.
What about you?|||you should have the ability to schedule training sessions and youth academy

Issues I have
My virtual pro
Why for my pro-club is my player an inch shorter than his actual height. Is this just a glitch in the menu, or does my player actually shrink by 1 inch when playing online, and if so, why?
Difficulty
I hate the difficulty settings in the current game, it seems that the only thing that changes when you increase the difficulty is the referee's bias towards the opposition, difficulty should be based on the opponent and the type of game. For example if two major teams are playing in the final, it should be really tense and difficult because neither teams will want to lose, whereas if a major team plays a 2nd or 3rd league team, it should be really easy for them.
Virtual Pros
Why are tall virtual pros so bad? My player is 6ft4 (because I'm 6ft4) and he spends all game chasing after everyone, tall people aren't necessarily slower than others (watch some 100m sprinters and tell me tall people aren't fast)
Also, small people are way too overpowered, the game has it that the smaller you are, the less strength you have, though I still find it impossible to throw a small player off the ball, and when I do, 9 times out of 10 the referee will call it up as a foul.
Another thing with small players is their uncanny ability to win headers, even against players how are more than a foot taller than them, I can understand it may happen sometimes based on better positioning and skill, but way to often will I lose out on a header to yet another 5ft virtual pro (absurdly coloured afro and MASSIVE nose included, of course)
Shooting
I understand that from FIFA 09/10 to FIFA 11 EA made massive changes to chip shots to make them more difficult to pull off, and that's fair enough, but now it seems it is way too easy to use finesse shots. I'd reckon it's just as hard to pull off a perfect chipped ball as it is to pull off a perfect curled shot, yet 9 times out of 10 a finesse shot will find itself nestled easily in the goal with little effort from the player.
Also, can something be done about players online who simply pass the ball across the 6 yard box and score an easy tap-in, I understand it can and does happen in real games but it's far too easy to pull off in FIFA, and it's really hard to defend against as the defensive AI is pretty appalling, I'll often have 2 or 3 defenders chasing after the player with the ball and another player will be sitting patiently in the 6 yard box for the tap-in with my other defenders nowhere to be found.
Defending
There's a number of issues here, one is that the ball will often clip straight through players that would otherwise block a shot, this also happens when two players compete for a ball in the air, either the ball will go straight through the defenders head, or the attacker will simply put his head through the defender to win the ball. Another problem is tackling and fouls, there's been so many occasions where I've made a sliding challenge, and missed both the ball and the player, yet it still appears as though the player has been hit and the referee will call it a foul, this is really frustrating, especially when it happens in the last minutes of a final and you lose because of it.
Also, clearances, seriously. What the hell? Why when I try to clear the ball from the penalty area does the ball go at a right-angle in mid air to go off the side of the pitch rather than up towards the half way line. The curl on clearances is weird at best, and down-right impossible to achieve in real life at worst. I believe I saved a video once where a defender was at the right corner flag, stepped over the ball and kicked it towards the half-way line, and the ball curled so hard in the air that it went into his own keeper's 6 yard box, who then picked the ball up (pass-back?)
What has actually been done to the game to make clearance kicks behave like this, it's just so weird.

Head to Head Ranked matches stuck at 2828 Points
Hi, dont know if this is the correct forum to post this but im having some issues with Ranked Head to Head matches.
Ever since i got to level 20 my points has remained at 2828, if i win a game it says ive lost 44 Points, if i draw its the same and if i lose its the same but i still stay at 2828 overall points.
If i go into my HUB it says ive won those games but im not even getting the Head to Head e-mail reports anymore which tell me about the match.
Is this a bug? How do i fix it?|||I've the same problem, I'm stucked at 4397 although I've won 3 consequtive games..
IS there anybody knows what the reason is?|||http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/878322.page

add auto-clear in FIFA 12
I opened this thread on the other forum, but since this is the official feedback and suggestions forum I'll post it here hopin that'll be taken into consideration by EA. Here I go:
Like the subject says.. I think EA should remove the auto-tackle, maybe only from strikers and midfielders and leave the auto-tackle for defenders ONLY.
Another thing I'd like FIFA 12 to have is the auto-clear when you're in danger, just like PES. It's annoying when the opposition crosses the ball and the defender chest the ball instead of clearing it out, even if you gave him the command, it's uncontrollable and frustrating.

Really EA????
Playing as the New york red bulls, i sent out 24 transfer offers for various Left and Right backs. all were denied because my league is not prestigious enough. leagues i offerd to:

7 Germany
4 Spain
Ages:
20 and under: 1
20-30: 13
30 and over: 10
I doubled the salary of 20 players as well.
It's plain ridiculous. players over 30 going to the us for huge salaries is common these days, except i wasn't even going for huge stars.|||So true. I've managed LA & Zenit. For LA I tried to buy some players from Switzerland, Vancouver (in Rest Of World) & Brazil but it was saying I'm not in a presitgious league.

PRO RANK RATINGS are HORRIBLE
Anyone else tired of playing Online Pro Team Matches and sinking from your 6.0 rating to a 5.7 because of ONE bad pass??
What a lopsided system. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED.
I just finished playing a few matches online and I will list the rating system...
Started match and within the first 5 minutes (real time) I had 2 assists... yet my rating still remained at a nice even 6.0....
Then, later in the half, I sent a corner kick which was knocked away.. which resulted in my rating to be knocked down to a 5.9.
Later I had a few nice through balls that never got a rating, but oh wait, I had ONE bad pass, so my rating went down to a 5.3...
I don't know what happened to this "rating" system, but it seems that it's all about not making a single mistake, rather than being rewarded on making good plays... I remember when I first starting playing with my "pro" I was always in the 7-9 ratings each game... now I can barely scrape by with an average 6.0 rating. Why is that? Why have they changed the system to only penalize bad plays and not rewarding good ones?? It's a joke.
You can score a hatrick in the first half and only have a 6.3 rating... yet you are caught out of position for a second and you lose a point??
|||Change the time back to 4 min half.
I was playing 8 min then in clubs my player ratings were always low.

Fifa 11 Offside lifted ?
Hello , i've recently played a match on fifa 11 ( offline ) where a player that is on offside receives the ball from another team player , where i commit a fault on , the offside is lifted and the player who was on offside can go on with the ball ?
Does the player where i commit a fault on get the fault instead of letting the offside go on ?
I thought offside always was given ? :) :)

Virtual Pro/ Clubs - Addition suggestions
Ok so one major thing I play more than anything is clubs and whilst the player creation is good there are still a fair few things I think that are missing that are a large part of clubs.
Custom badges & custom kits It's been talked about plenty of times that creation centre should be used for clubs and it's my understanding that this was the plan by EA. I think this would be a very big step up for clubs as it would give teams their own identities rather than "the team who play in the Gillingham kit" for example. It would also add more individualism to the matches as clubs would have their own badges as opposed to real team badges.
Shirt numbers: One of the best websites for clubs players (thehttp://www.fvpa.co.uk) and many other sites all have something in common which is that teams design their own avatars with their own shirt numbers. This is a very common part of forum based clubs now and VP's can already choose their shirt numbers. What is missing is the ability to choose a shirt number for the club you play for. I think managers should be able to assign a shirt number to his/her clubs players. This may be a small feature to some people but it is evident that it means a lot to many many clubs players as they spend so much time getting high quality avatars made to represent the shirt number they want.
Some examples can be seen below:
Adding this would give forum teams (who are very dedicated to clubs) something they have been asking for since the release of FIFA 10) and would give players the feeling of having their own shirt number they have earned.
Tattoos: It's been talked about for a very long time but customizing and individualism is something many people love about their VP's. Whilst I personally tend to stick with one look throughout I still cannot make myself as I am in real life as my forearms are pretty much fully tattooed. With so many people in real life having tattoos and the same for real players it only makes sense to embrace a culture that tattoos are very common in. I think it was FIFA 09 in UT they had tattoos that could be applied and whilst they were just club badges and looked pretty poor, the ability to do it is there and all that is needed is 10-50 tattoo designs to get the buyer happy with his new found ability to create a more realistic version of himself.
Accessories: One thing I have noticed is a lot of the community have "wacky players" and by this I mean players who have multi coloured accessories which do not look realistic and are very rarely seen in club football. I'm not suggesting this should be removed but it could be modified so that you have five choices with colouring of arm bands/ tape etc The five choices could be black, white, kit colour, kit colour and white and kit colour and black. This would stop people from having one blue glove, one green glove, orange boots and big blue hair and a white and blue kit and looking like a clown. The individualism/ customization would still be there but the player would have blue gloves/ blue tape rather than mis-matching gloves. This would add a layer of realism as I doubt very much leagues would allow players to come out with multi coloured mis-matching accessories that could be distracting to other players. It would however still give people the option to have the accessories and have various choices.
Another idea with accessories is for those people who like a small difference is adding an option to wristband called "national flag" so the VP could have his national flag wristband on. Obviously there is a setting for nationality on a player so when a person selects Ivory Coast for example and then selects wristbands on with national flag they could have the national flag armbands like Gervinho does (as pictured below)
Gameface: One thing that is a pain is removing game face if you download one. I would suggest an easy "remove game face" option in-game as removing it via the memory has caused multiple issues in the past including VP corruption.
-----------------------------
I will add more to this when I have time. I'll also add any ideas that people suggest that I agree would be a good addition.

How to get a fair game
I need to know how I can get a fair andcompetative game. It might just be my perception, but it feels that most of the people that I play online have manipulated their team to get the advantage. I personally do not use any custom tatics or change my formations, but I KNOW many people do. I think it cheapens the game and I just wouldnt feel right doing that. To be honest, I dont know how to do it! Even if I did I wouldnt though. So many games I get beat by that header that none of my defenders seem to know is coming, or that perfect cross that, again no one knows is coming. And the defenses that I face, with the incredible tackling, none of which is a foul. I now understand why some atheletes use steroids. Its hard to compete against others that have some kind of advantage! If anyone can tell me what they are doing, and what I can do to combat it, I would appreciate it.
what can i do with the players that exit from online during the game?
it happens to me a lot and it is not normal!!!!!!|||All you can do is file compliant if your on xbox as well as submit player review to AVOID
FIFA 12 Career Mode Improvements
1) Staff upgrades, scouting players & youth players should come back for 'Manager'
2) Play for Europe in the first season. It irratates me a little bit that no one even contests in Europe (even MUFC or Barca) until the first* mode season is completed.
3) Have the option to manage a national team after you've obtained a 5* rep as a manager or atleast there should be an option to manage a national team after your 15 years as a team manager to contest in qualifiers and cups
4) National games should come back for 'Player'
That's all I want right now for* mode.
What about you?|||There's already a thread for this mate

quiting early
when players quit early they should not be allowed to earn match points for a few games. also let the winner earn match points if the looser quits. i have played so many games for the hundered & counting achievement and still dont have it because of babys who dont play unless they win!|||some good ideas there.would be tough on the people with unstable connections though.there should be a save and restore game option for when someone gets disconected.then if both players are genuine you could resume the game.had this 10+ years ago playing age of empires online.dont understand why we dont have such obvious options to use now.
Team Chemistry
Lots of people have saying EA should put team chemistry into MM, but i'm not sure how this would work, or how would be reflected in the actual matches.
Maybe there could be one system where for instance, say there is 2 players at a club who have played alongside each other for many years, they would have really good chemistry between them, and in games if one had the ball, the other would always look to provide an option to pass to. E.g. most of Barcelona's players have played with each other all the way since in the academy together, and is one of the reasons they have really good cohesion and work well as a team.
Maybe chemistry could be reflected by the players attributes. For example you wouldn't want to play Crouch AND Carroll together as they are both target men, and you would look to find someone like VDV or Suarez to balance their partnership. So in matches people like VDV or Suarez would look to get on the end of their partner's knock-ons/knock-downs whenever a long ball or cross was played.
Also sticking with the UT chemistry system would be basic yet still very easy, however I think it would be completely pointless to have Team Chemistry implemented in CM without it having any significance or impact on the field.

FIFA 12 Suggestions
_Fifa 12 should be run on the new FROSTBITE ENGINE 2.0

_5 a side and 7 a side matches,tournaments
(Beach ground,turf ground,rubber ground for 5 and 7 a side matches)
_Create Team(Club)
_Create players
_more tv scoreboards,league scoreboards
_Better Online experience,World Ranklist
_Tournament and league winning better video (lifting the cup etc.)
_Fifa Game Face-game face not only for Virtual pro but also for create new players
_More International teams(Like in World cup all countries)(If possible add all countries and there should be continent Cup|||i totally support this topic|||bump|||The slow menus on fifa 11 when playing online is absolutely ridiculous! I MEAN REALLY FIFA! iTs the 21st century and u cant put together a nice clean line menu which works smoothly! what do u guys actually do when testing games? The gameplay is perfect and ever espect is fine! BUT a menu is something so simple and yet u guys find ways to annoy every
single person. Its sad that u ppl dont even address that u have made mistakes and that u will solve it with a patch or something! Nothing gets done! This is a multi-million dollar franchise and yet its so poor how u have developed simple things! We dont want all the fancy stupid extras, just a game with a good gameplay like fifa 11 but with no bugs and silly errors which should of been corrected 10 years ago and i bet i wont even get a reply from fifa ever about this issue. I even bet fifa 12's menu will be even worse, with more and more bugs, freezing online, freezing in the arena! SORT THIS OUT FIFA its not that hard!
PS: those patches made such small changes which addressed only one or two issues which i didnt even notice!
POOR POOR SERVICE|||I hope the game developers read these suggestions.
There are differences introduced into FIFA 11 which make it look like a series of programmed events match after match. What I'm saying is that it becomes annoying when i can predict which pass is going to fail, which shot will not go in etc. I understand that this is gaming but I always prided FIFA for not being arcade gaming. Unfortunately FIFA 11 feels just like that--- an arcade experience.
An example is that way the long through ball can almost never be made perfectly regardless of the amount of space available between the touchline and the nearest defender. I mean c'mon, either the ball is always intercepted because the game always plays it too close to the defender or the pass will be just too weak.
Why have you removed the automatic forward run? Its annoying when players cannot make intelligent runs or at least attempt to go past defenders, especially when you have time, space and plenty of possession to create a chance. In short, the forward are lazy and unintelligent.
On the topic of forwards, how is it possible for even the fastest one to be incapable of running past defenders? This happens even after they've gone goal-side of the defender. The defender is like a magnet, somehow slowing down the player without even making contact.
Why do forwards run the ball out of play under the attention of defenders? Either let the defender win the ball or allow the player to shield the ball while running.
I enjoy playing FIFA 11 all the same, but these suggestions have to be addressed in the next editions. These problems have not always been part of earlier FIFA editions, and I actually have never had reason to complain. I've appreciated every improvement year after year but some of the changes in FIFA 11 are just too annoying.|||

_Fifa 12 should be run on the new FROSTBITE ENGINE 2.0
jonowev says: No way, current system is fine. Frostbite is designed for shooters!!!
_Fifa Street should be included in Fifa 12
It'll never happen, and FIFA Street sucks anyway
_5 a side and 7 a side matches,tournaments
(Beach ground,turf ground,rubber ground for 5 and 7 a side matches)
Yeah a cool idea. I remember on FIFA 98 you could play indoor football. Would be a nice little bonus feature.
_Create Team(Club)
Yeah needs to be there, a full creation centre like in Pro Evo!
_Create players
Again yes, it is too limited in FIFA 11
_more tv scoreboards,league scoreboards
Yeah I get what you mean, it needs to be more believeable, like you are actually watching it on TV!
_Better Online experience,World Ranklist
Not too bothered, online is okay as it is, just need to be made lag free.
_Tournament and league winning better video (lifting the cup etc.)
YES, completely agree. Needs to be made more special. And why do fireworks go off in daytime matches? It's just silly.
_Fifa Game Face-game face not only for Virtual pro but also for create new players
Yes, no reason not to do it
_More International teams(Like in World cup all countries)(If possible add all countries and there should be continent Cup
They won't do it because people wouldn't buy the World Cup game then.
Egyptian League and Some National teams to be added in Fifa12
Why do all people make polls about Saudi League ( Zain ) and the Indian league . Actually the Saudi League is an excellent and very powerful league but the Indian league I have never heard about it , you too ?
I think the competition should be between the Egyptian league and the Saudi League , the Egyptian league is a good one and there are at least 3 teams in the top of the league which perform all the matches in a good way .
On the other hand , I think some of the African and Asian Teams should be added such as Egypt , Cameroon , Côte d'Ivoire , Ghana , Saudi Arabia , Qatar . They are not less than other teams they put in FIFA11 . At least World Cup 2010 teams should be all added.|||What do you think ?

Hello, i think that there should be a market in PROCLUBS with Real Players under 84 overall if you win games you get points and with Points you can buy Players from the market... But only the ANY/AI can use these Transferd Real players others will still have to play with virtual pro

Leagues in FIFA 12
Since everyone wants their own nations leagues in the game I thought to make a poll on the subject.
Personally, I would like to see more 2nd division in the existing nations. At the moment there are several leagues were coming last doesn't really matter. There is also no change from year to year, the same teams year after year. However, I understand that people from other nations would like to see their own league in the game.
I've chosen not to put Western Europe as an option, because it doesn't seem like there's much of a demand for more leagues from that particular area.|||I voted for more leagues from South America because it'd give a more "balanced" leagues selection and makes having a career in that region more fun (think new tournaments, even fake ones).
I also think adding second divisions to existing leagues would be a good idea too, however it depends on how many people will use them. If it's only for promotion/relegation in CM, then EA can do something like FIFA 2000-06/07 where there is a "hidden league" with 4 or so teams that make up your promotion/relegation zone --though you'd still get fired if your own team gets relegated since you wouldn't be going to a proper league, just a placeholder for a season.|||Adding the league from Argentina and fully license the brazilian league is essential for me. Would love to see some other important south american teams such as LDU, Universidade de Chile and many many others available in the game. Those teams are way more important than korean, norwegian or irish teams, that nobody uses online and no one sees them playing major tournaments like the Fifa World Cup Club in december.
Also ultra important to bring more international teams like Paraguay (that was available on FIFA 10, what happend?), Cote D'Ivoire and many others, at least the 2010 World Cup teams.
PES 2011 has all teams that played the World Cup, all the teams that were in Libertadores 2010 and some other nice eastern european teams like Shakhtar Donetsk. Why the game that carries the FIFA name can't have them?
That would be nice. FIFA 08 I think had few brazilian 2nd division teams, but unfortunately they were not an option in manager mode, not even to swap with the relegated teams...|||The Ukrainian Premier League and Superleague Greece are important to me, mainly to round out the "Champions Cup" experience.
I would also love more CONCACAF leauges in the game, and maybe the CONCACAF Champions League, but I'm positive that won't happen for another few years; if ever.|||Any team or league that EA can get the license of, will be good enough for me.
Even though I use the English leagues.|||Ive never understood why they removed the Greek Super League after 2001 version. Is it due to the copy rights? simple question about saving money? I have no idea what you pay for the license to add the league but i could imagine adding more leagues would sell more copies in the diffrent countries.
And yes they should definitely add the argentinian league, Boca juniors vs River plate :)|||I would love to see more or all South American leagues!|||I really want the Hungarian football league to be in it, oh yes and also some South American leagues... if these arent even in it, then I aint gonna bother buying it .|||I think they should add more leagues from africa and some national teams such as Egypt , Cameroon , Côte d'Ivoire , and Ghana . Egypt has won 3 Africa Cup of Nations ( 2006,2008.2010 ) , also Egypt was the 9th in the Fifa World Ranking|||Argentina Primeira Division
Brazilian Serie A (With all times licenced)
Brazilian Serie B
And South Aremican times who are on Libertadores|||I will love to see the Mexican 2end division and other cups for mexico to like for example the copa libertadores and ect. i will really love to see those changes in fifa12
|||Ukrainian Premier League which is ranked--by FIFA-- above at least 5 league that they do have in FIFA 11!|||i would like to see leagues from central america or at least national teams|||CONMEBOL (Southamerica) has great teams, with great players that end up playing in the best teams of europe. This could help add more depth to career mode in my opinion.
Fifa is very popular in southamerica, look at the standings in the online section of the Fifa Interactive WOrld cup. There were a lot of brazilians, colombians, argentinians, chileans, venezuelans etc.
The game has a Fan base in Southamerica, please EA answer to the claim of your Fans!!
Again I dont expect to have every single team. But fully license the Brasileirao (Premier league Brazil) and Primera Division from Argentina, then at least 3 teams from each of the other countries. Now if you want to go ahead and license all the leagues, that would be even better :)
We could have Copa Libertadores and even Intercontinental Cup. Europe VS Southamerica, once again for the crown!
P.S: With the leagues in place and the european leagues, there should be no excuse to do not have the national teams.|||I would like to see these leagues added...
Argentina Primera Division
Brazil Serie A
Brazil Serie B
Dutch Eerste Divisie
Egyptian Premier League
Greece Super League
Japanese J. League
South Africa Premier Soccer League
Ukrainian Premier League

C.D. Saprissa (Costa Rica)

FK Partizan (Serbia)
Hajduk Split (Croatia)
Olimpia (Honduras)
Puerto Rico Islanders (Puerto Rico)
Hapoel Tel-Aviv (Israel)

I know that J. League is licensed to Konami, but I am still hopeful, I also think they need to include at least one league from Africa, every other continent has at least one league in the game, except for Africa. I think either Egyptian Premier League (teams like Al Ahli and Zamalek) or South African PSL (preferably both!), would make for great leagues to include. I would also like to see more South American leagues. Include all the leagues from the Rest of World, and make a new Rest of World. I listed ten clubs above I think are worthy of being added...

|||Ukrainian Premier League which is ranked--by FIFA-- above at least 5 league that they do have in FIFA 11!|||i would like to see leagues from central america or at least national teams|||CONMEBOL (Southamerica) has great teams, with great players that end up playing in the best teams of europe. This could help add more depth to career mode in my opinion.
Fifa is very popular in southamerica, look at the standings in the online section of the Fifa Interactive WOrld cup. There were a lot of brazilians, colombians, argentinians, chileans, venezuelans etc.
The game has a Fan base in Southamerica, please EA answer to the claim of your Fans!!
Again I dont expect to have every single team. But fully license the Brasileirao (Premier league Brazil) and Primera Division from Argentina, then at least 3 teams from each of the other countries. Now if you want to go ahead and license all the leagues, that would be even better :)
We could have Copa Libertadores and even Intercontinental Cup. Europe VS Southamerica, once again for the crown!
P.S: With the leagues in place and the european leagues, there should be no excuse to do not have the national teams.|||I would like to see these leagues added...
Argentina Primera Division
Brazil Serie A
Brazil Serie B
Dutch Eerste Divisie
Egyptian Premier League
Greece Super League
Japanese J. League
South Africa Premier Soccer League
Ukrainian Premier League
With new Rest of World, consisting of:
C.D. Saprissa (Costa Rica)
Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
FC Dinamo Bucharest (Romania)
FK Partizan (Serbia)
Hajduk Split (Croatia)
Olimpia (Honduras)
Puerto Rico Islanders (Puerto Rico)
Hapoel Tel-Aviv (Israel)
HJK Helsinki (Finland)
Red Star Belgrade (Serbia)
I know that J. League is licensed to Konami, but I am still hopeful, I also think they need to include at least one league from Africa, every other continent has at least one league in the game, except for Africa. I think either Egyptian Premier League (teams like Al Ahli and Zamalek) or South African PSL (preferably both!), would make for great leagues to include. I would also like to see more South American leagues. Include all the leagues from the Rest of World, and make a new Rest of World. I listed ten clubs above I think are worthy of being added...
FIFA 12 Online
Virtual Pro:
differnt accomplishments.. not score 200 goals or assists make it for playing well as a team player and make accomplihments hard to get and make them hard to earn over time ( i got 80% in 3 hours when fifa 11 came out ) .. e.g make 500 ground passes, make 1000 passes. get 65% plus shot accuracy in and out the box over 50 games, get 200 successful crosses, make 300 stand tackles at any posisiton win 200 jumping headers, get 200 headers on target,take 100 free kicks,
better traits, or have traits in a package, e.g playmaker package, swerve pass fance flicks, swerve pass,early crosser, second wind
have pre set pros.. e.g i dont have to back out and set my pro as a CB edit the height or weight or traits its already set as what i want depending on the posisiton i pick, i mean have it for every posistion, e.g if i pick ST in clubs my pro will be 5,11 finisher with my picked traits. or if i pick CM i want 6,1, with my pick traits,or GK 6,5 traditional and i can go back to the menu and edit that. because ive went in to lots of games been set as a CB and been made to play midfiled, where im usless as a CB
better weak foot abiltiy. i have 5* weak foot and cant score on my right foot from anywhere, it feels like a 1* weak foot
make the midgets less overpowerd.
PRO personality, not that personality plus thing. like if you player is offside he will run over and argue if hes that type of player, or if hes booked he will just accept it or become paolo di canio lol, like actual players
Pro Ranked:
Timer drops by 10 seconds for everyone who readys up,
once you pick a side your locked in you cant change team.. only leave, sick of people just sitting unready for 2 mins
20 seconds to pick posistions
vote to kick option. 3+ votes ( depending on number of players) and your out
a pro ranked rating system for passes and teamwork, so you play similar people ( ballhogs stay with ballhogs)
FIX THE CONNECTION
Clubs
make the ANYS better, 80 is good enough and make them win almost every header, so if you score a goal in clubs is due to skill not the cursor glitching out or your 6,ft 5 ANY getting outjumped by a midget
and make battles with a midget go to the ANYS, a 5ft 2 8stone midget can push my 16 ston 6ft 5 ANY off the ball. thats a joke
FIX THE CONNECTION
make ANYs mandatory or at least have a filter to avoid no ANY 5212 noobs
make the menus easier to navigate, fifa 10 was perfect for finding what you wanted in the club mode
let there be an unranked club feature ( not invite friendlies) so you can find other clubs who just want practise. or try out a new guy in a actually game ( practise mode is awful)
make there be a prize for winning a cup.. every 5 cups gets you a new stadium
design your own kits and badge
invite your club mates to the free roam arena or practise arena mode for practise in passing shooting and set pieces
remove custom formations
make player awards for a club season regionally not just winner awards for clubs . e.g most goals, most assists,most clean sheets, best pass accuracy,best tackle accuracy,most passes made. and so someone cant play 1 game and get 100% in pass accuracy.. you have to play at least 30 games in a season ( 1 a day) to be eligalbe to win the award
H2H
make the team filter more noticeable.. im sick of playing real madrid and chelsea noobs. i want 3* games but get maybe 1 a week
if you DC or leave you get 50% of the points you would get in your next match.to stop quitters, but only make it a 1 game penalty because i do genuenily know people who lag out so that would ruin it for them if it lasted more than 1 game.
maybe a club level filter. from lvl 1-4 1*-1.5 teams 5-9 2*-2.5* teams 10-14 3*-3.5 15-20 4*-4.5* 20+ let ye real madrid noobs rejoice
a dream team mode. create your dream team and play people IN FRIENDLIES ( make it a game mode not unranked)
good feature IMO.. you cant use the same team online 5 times in a row ( you real noobs have to use chelsea )
Gameplay
increase the effects of pro passing, its still ridiciouls online that you can ping pong pass
make LB Y semi assisted or not as accurate
make crosses harder, same with headers, not just tap X and B goal
shot dummies are so annoying you do one and the defender freezes, fix that
slow the game down a little bit more its just as quick and annoying as fifa 10
change the cursor back to fifa 10, assistance level, not air balls or auto.
improve the defensive AI, the full backs still keep the strikers onside
1 2 ping pong passes with the strikers should only work 5% of the time not 95%
make the AI smarter in attack dont through ball it to zigic CROSS
thats all i can think of atm
|||Remove ANY from club positions, clubs is clubs not 2 vs 2.|||
so keep the AI and let the mod all the hard work ? pfft thats a joke, let the defence do all the work with 5+ defenders while 3+ strikers will stay upfront and call for perfect long balls all game then ping pong it between them :)

A serious questioning of the match highlights
To you guys who made the match highlights: Why is it sometimes that some of the goals doesn't show in the highlights? It was a game of 3 goals, and it showed 2 of them, and the rest was misses and saves? I scored a wonderful goal with Kaká, and it didn't show up, it was only highlights from the first half!? I'm playing online of course, so i can't use the instant replay either.... This has happened too many times, and it is not even OK anymore, I cant save my best moments and goals, because the game is ****ed up.
|||I agree that it's frustrating how some highlights are missing while less important ones are there :)
We've got a good thread on replays in general here: http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/277614.page ... feel free to post your thoughts there :)
Locking this to avoid splitting discussions.

My suggestions..
Fifa is too like, soft?
No hard tackles or anything, need big tackles and double footed! make it more realistic.. would be nice to actually see the injuries, for example.. something like Nani's gash, or Eduardo's leg... However i understand it wouldnt be suitable for young ages, but could have it as a setting?
The players movement... turning so quick with the ball is always awkward, but irl they do it so easy!
Not thought of too many things but i'll update it when i do :)

Update Boots
I think,if you can update the players and their rating, their boots will be updated aswell.
Like David Villa should be wearing the new Adidas f50 Prime boots.

Will there be 'real' hair on the players?
Currently, the players all have plastic hair like moulded plastic. It should move around freely, so if it is long like say Anderson of Man United it should move as he runs. Not stay solid like it currently does.|||I agree. I mean rain has no effect on a players hair what so ever.
I also feel a players kit should have a little more freedom. It rarely loses shape which is a shame :l

Disconnecting From Servers
Ive played 3 games this morning and each time ive disconnected from the servers when playing a ranked match. I know this is a problem for many, but i just would like to know the reason why it happens
Is it my internet connection or is it the other persons not being able to keep up. i have 50mg download and 5mg upload. Also i never disconnect from xbox live just ea servers
This has been happening now for a few months, ive played around 1500 ranked matches and got a 3% DNF so about 50 games disconnected as ive never quit a game intentinally
so does anybody know why it happens -|||happens to me all the time too, a lot of my losses are form this and i would be winning comfortably most of the time...they should fix it or reimburse me for some controllers :\

Take out the weird slide tackle
Please take out the weird slide and tackle when you kind of fall over or at least improve it, because when i want to do a normal slide and tackle and he does that and i gave away a pen.
no more glitches like this one!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQeITPqTCCY|||Ya I hope they get that fixed|||WOW! That's bad never knew such a glitch was around.
On-site Online Chat
I am just giving an idea for FIFA 12.
Wouldn't it be cool if we had online chat on FIFA 12 on the internet? It can involve all consoles including the PC, and whit that the players can site back and share their experiences and talk about anything in FIFA. We could have chat admins watching over. It would be nice to have that because the players get to talk together. We can have a general room for a all consoles, and then another room for the xbox and another for the ps3 and another for the pc. you can chat either on your console or on your pc.
If you are on PC: You can chat in the general room, or the PC room
I foyu are on XBOX:You can chat in the general room or on the XBOX room. Obviously you have to have a gamertag account
And etc...
What you guys think?|||No one answering :)|||Sounds Good.

Boycotting FIFA?
This is not a thread simply to bash EA. This is a statement of facts that have lead me to take the decision to boycott FIFA11 until further notice, and not purchase FIFA12 until i can be sure it does not have the same failings as FIFA11.
The list of problems with FIFA11 is getting rediculous. This game has not been at any stage of its shelf life been satisfactory. As a consumer, i feel it is my duty to tell you EA what is wrong with your game, ignore this 'Feedback' at your peril. (This will be a long post)
First off, i'd just like to point out, most of my issues are with the Online features of the game, but single player is not completely ok itself, there has been a bug since release that would cause your Virtual Pro to Disappearing after one season when i played as a player manager ( This was true of about 5/6 career modes i have in fact played, and most if not all of my friends experienced the same issue) this makes playing Manager mode redundant when wanting to level your pro up and continue to play your manager mode for more then one season. :)
Before i jump on to the main issues with the game, which are, unsurprisingly all to do with the online experience, even the simplest of features in FIFA11 fail to work. The In-menu leaderboard system has not worked since release day. The error message "Data can not be retrieved" is always there to greet you as you first load up your game, an omen perhaps, for what is to follow.
Right, lets get on to the main problems, and why i feel i can no longer play this game, as all the enjoyment has been sucked out. I can forgive the issues above, if it were not for the multiple other failings.
Your servers, EA, your servers. For the first few weeks, if not months, Online Clubs was unplayable, as was Pro ranked match. To this day, i can not play a game of Clubs with more then 3-4 people without one of us getting that horrofic, horrofic delay. Ultimately costing us game after game. And when the delay was reported to you? What did you suggest? "Clear your Xbox's Cache" Which may work once, but it would only take until you find a game with somebody who did not clear their cache for the lagg to come back. How is that anyway to treat a consumer, using us to test your solution, and ultimately when it did not work, nothing else changed to fix it. Disgusting behaviour.
Then there are the random freezes, bugs when playing that will cause the game to freeze, and its a battle of sheer patience till one side quits out. I've lost many a cup final due to your servers, where my friends will have to quit out because they are not willing to waste our time sitting staring at our screen, waiting and hoping for the other team to quit. This happens not only in clubs, but in EVERY online game mode. Ranked match, Clubs, Ultimate team. These freezes have cost me wins, coins, and most importantly time. Once, i waited almost TWO HOURS on ultmate team in a final of a cup that was going to give me 5 thousand coins because of a freeze. A freeze not caused by me, caused by your servers, and people abusing them.
Another issue is one that is also happening is that when [/b]When merely starting fifa11 up during the various checks that must be done when starting the game and going into the menus, FIFA11 has started to say "EA Servers are not currently available" when in fact they are available, and not only this, i have friends already online and playing your game. Issue after issue.
Another connectivity issue is very similar to this one, however, this one has a twist, after succesfully[b] connecting to the servers, when trying to load up Ultimate team, it says the servers are "Unavailable" and indeed it continues to do so until either you lose patience trying, or it randomly decides to let you on, which can be a very brief experience, or an exercise in fustration, once, it took me 15-20 minutes to get on to ultimate team. Is this any way to treat your loyal consumers?
All of these issues, and more minor issues, are ruining my gaming experience and my leisure time. I see no point in wasting anymore of my time on this game, any enjoyment is ruined by stress from disconnecting, and is not worth it anymore. The only reason i feel FIFA is still the most played Real-time football game, is because there is no better alternative than it, PES is miles behind, and beyond that, there are virtually no other games of this genre. Becuase of this, maybe EA feel they can treat us as consumers however they want, at times it has felt like FIFA11 has been abandoned by the developers. The only time that Ingame menu leaderboard has worked, has been when their have been damned special offers on, or Ultimate team offers. Does this all come down to greed? And complete disregard for the player/consumer?
I will not be playing anymore FIFA11, and would advise people not to support EA sports by not buying FIFA12, until we can be sure that it does not suffer from the same failings as FIFA11( I name EA sports because, thus far, any experience i have had with the other EA devisions has been positive).
Fix Your Servers, Fix Your Attitude, Fix Your Game.
|||I agree, my god, I AGREE!
I'm not going to buy FIFA 12, before I've read some reviews.
And trust me on this one: I will not buy Fifa 12, if I hear ANYTHING about freezing.
My friends feel the same way.
EA, I suggest you fix the freezing problem, because you're losing customers.
My friends who haven't got it themselves, but have experienced it at my place, knows that in Fifa 12, they might get this bug.
That's why they are not going to buy Fifa 12 just right away.|||If the whole "EA Servers are not currently available" thing isn't fixed by the release of Fifa 12 then count me as another lost customer. I'm not buying Fifa 12 if I can only play it sometimes like is currently happening with Fifa 11.|||I'm glad someone has put all the issues that FIFA11 has so tactfully. Today, after having the game crash on no less than 3 times within a hour on FUT, I've had enough. In my experienc, the game crashes offline, data get's corrupted (example being squad data - player's names change e. g- kaka = kamil?), online is a joke because of the servers.
I've been playing FIFA since Road to the World Cup 98'. I've bought every single game. I value what I've spent at hundreds of £'s to purchase these games. Last years installment was the worst. The stupid online pass issues (which still after almost a year, I am prompted to supply my code on occasions.) The blatant money grabbing tactics to get people to buy packs on FUT. I remember seeing a post by an Admin stating that the major problems had been fixed a while back - all of them were minor issues, and he ignored everyones questions about "why don't you fix online clubs?" or "why is there still issues with micropausing". But hey, aslong as you can freely buy more goldpacks, they aren't bothered.
Another slight concern. Fifa titles were usually released in October. Why have they been moved forward? And why is it that FUT was available straight away last year? Perhaps it's because EA could squeeze every penny out of us, and not properly BETA test the game, and make sure everything was perfect before release.|||I agree, I'm getting sick of the D/C's from EA Servers Fifa 11, I can't get into Vitural pro game without getting the most two stupid errors everyone knows about, head to head ranked matches always freezes and when I'm in FUT I always randomly Disconnects, apparently the servers have been put into place for Fifa 12 but not Fifa 11, EA are * stupid and clever they put the fixes in to Fifa 12 so no1 disconnects but leave it on Fifa 11 so you move onto Fifa 12, but some people may not, please FIX FIFA 11 EA SERVERS.
AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY WE FUKING PAY FOR EA ONLINE PASS TO PLAY FIFA 11 TO RECIEVE THIS PIECE OF * SERVICE, ARE YOU ACTUALLY FKING KIDDING ME EA FIX UP

I'm not buying Fifa 12 if I can only play it sometimes like is currently happening with Fifa 11.|||I'm glad someone has put all the issues that FIFA11 has so tactfully. Today, after having the game crash on no less than 3 times within a hour on FUT, I've had enough. In my experienc, the game crashes offline, data get's corrupted (example being squad data - player's names change e. g- kaka = kamil?), online is a joke because of the servers.
I've been playing FIFA since Road to the World Cup 98'. I've bought every single game. I value what I've spent at hundreds of £'s to purchase these games. Last years installment was the worst. The stupid online pass issues (which still after almost a year, I am prompted to supply my code on occasions.) The blatant money grabbing tactics to get people to buy packs on FUT. I remember seeing a post by an Admin stating that the major problems had been fixed a while back - all of them were minor issues, and he ignored everyones questions about "why don't you fix online clubs?" or "why is there still issues with micropausing". But hey, aslong as you can freely buy more goldpacks, they aren't bothered.
Another slight concern. Fifa titles were usually released in October. Why have they been moved forward? And why is it that FUT was available straight away last year? Perhaps it's because EA could squeeze every penny out of us, and not properly BETA test the game, and make sure everything was perfect before release.|||I agree, I'm getting sick of the D/C's from EA Servers Fifa 11, I can't get into Vitural pro game without getting the most two stupid errors everyone knows about, head to head ranked matches always freezes and when I'm in FUT I always randomly Disconnects, apparently the servers have been put into place for Fifa 12 but not Fifa 11, EA are * stupid and clever they put the fixes in to Fifa 12 so no1 disconnects but leave it on Fifa 11 so you move onto Fifa 12, but some people may not, please FIX FIFA 11 EA SERVERS.
AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY WE FUKING PAY FOR EA ONLINE PASS TO PLAY FIFA 11 TO RECIEVE THIS PIECE OF * SERVICE, ARE YOU ACTUALLY FKING KIDDING ME EA FIX UP
That’s one side of it. The other side is on us. For FIFA 12 we have spent a lot of time looking at our code for OTP and Clubs in order to improve the reliability of your connections to the game. We decided that was probably more important to you than anything else we could do.
So here’s a few bullet points to explain what we’ve been working on:
Testing, testing, and more testing. We’ve done much more testing in other regions of the world, using differing connection strengths. In particular, we’ve had groups continuously working on that in Argentina, the UK, and obviously here in Vancouver. We’ve also done a lot more wireless specific testing, brought in better load testing for our servers and kicked off early pre-launch testing on our final, live servers.
Better tools: We’ve now got much better tools to help us debug issues in both gameplay and online code. One problem that can occur with gameplay (rather than online code) is the dreaded desync. This is where a very specific event in an online match somehow becomes interpreted differently by different people’s local games. When this happens, a disconnection will occur. It’s a complicated thing and affects any game with online modes, but when it happens in Clubs we know it can be very frustrating. We’ve spent a lot of time using our new, improved tools to unearth these gremlins and sort as many of them out as we possibly can for FIFA 12.
Better matchmaking: A lot of the problems people have experienced with FIFA 11 comes down to people being inappropriately matched for games. FIFA 12 will include improved matchmaking to prevent less than ideal matchups. Additionally, we have moved authentication and matchmaking servers (what we call ‘central’ servers) to Europe now, which will mean logging in and navigating online screens should be much snappier for most people.
a few things
Limiations
Fully adjustable camera height,zoom,pan,place: this would allow players create any camera angle of thier choose not only to create the view you see on tv but to make each match u play against another team unique were as now u can only choose various camera angles and change the zoom and height slightly
photo realistic faces
With only a sample of teams with real faces, the other teams feel incredibly generic as if uve seen no change in 3-4 years, same yellow/grey hair colours follow for players with blonde hair and orange for ginger hair etc. This is due to the limit of colours the game uses for generic players, the whole game need a full colour pallet, bringing the game to life.
Replays
I scored a fantastic goal with my brother, rooney header and we saved the goal, only to play it back once saved, in a small box where u cant see it, without rewind, slow motion etc as u do when wtching during a game. so a simple replay mode please, not online and so u cn wtch the whole replay as u want. As far as i know replays arnt in arena mode during a match... why not?? and so u should then be able to save your replays

Clubs
what could be added in to next years FIFA to improve clubs.
I was thinking being able to have training sessions with your squad to create and perfect set pieces for example, and would also give new players a chance to see how a team plays its movement its passing etc.
Also thought of if you arent playing in a game being able to sit in the stands and watch for example, and also to watch other clubs i.e the top clubs who are top of the leaderboard so we can see where we need to improve and to compare playing styles, also giving a chance to scout the sides.
Anymore?

SOUTH AMERICA MUST BE IN THE FIFA 12 PLANS
IN THE NAME OF ALL SOUTHAMERICAN COUNTRIES WE DISAGREE ABOUT EA DO NOT INCLUDE THE 1ST AND 2ND OFFICIAL DIVISIONS FROM BRAZILIAN AND ARGENTINIAN CHAMPIONSHIP.
NOT ONLY THESE BUT ALSO THE MAINLY TEAMS FROM COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, URUGUAY, PARAGUAY, CHILE, BOLIVIA... I THINK IT COULD BE AT LEAST 4 OR 5 TEAMS FROM THESE COUNTRIES FOR EXAMPLE.
INCLUDING ALL OF THESE TEAMS WE COULD HAVE THE AMERICA LIBERTADORES CUP AND SUDAMERICANA CUP AND SO IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO PLAY THE FIFA WORLD CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP... COULD BE INTERESSANT IF THE DEVELOPERS THINK THAT THE GREATEST PLAYERS OF THE WORLD ARE SOUTHAMERICAN (MOST OF THEM ARE FROM BRAZIL, ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY)
TKS AND WE HOPE TO SEE THE BEST TEAMS FROM SOUTH AMERICA ON THE NEXT FIFA EDITION...

Back Of The Net FIFA Podcast...
It has been posted in here once before about this podcast, but it never really got much attention.
Basically, its a podcast about everything FIFA, football and more :)
There's also a "player of the week" segment where the lads suggest a player for your ultimate teams which can come in handy.
They cover everything, from ultimate team, to clubs, to the upcoming FIFA 12. They also have guest's on some weeks, the guests are some of the biggest names in youtube and have included in previous episodes; Wepeeler, AntoHolland, AtomicWelshCelt, KillHollywood & Leester100.
If you enjoy football, FIFA and just general banter, then this is definitely for you!
The lads seem pretty down to earth, and aren't like some youtuber's who are really arrogant etc. They're a good laugh. The shows last about 1hour and currently up to episode 9 but you dont need to have listened to the first ones to know whats happening. Personally, i enjoy listening to it when playing FIFA.
I used to watch the occasional video on youtube before, but since listening/watching this, i've also started watching other youtube channels such as the guests they have had and others that do great video's.
The lads who make the show are;

I'm not one of the lads who does it, nor do i have anything to do with them, i just feel it needs some more publicity as it is a fantastic show.
The show goes upon youtube every saturday but i do believe you can get it earlier if you get it on itunes.
Link To All Episodes:
http://www.youtube.com/user/IrishWelshCelt#g/u
Again, if you dont want to watch it thats fine, im just letting people know about it on here as it hasn't had as much attention as i think it could get and it is really enjoyable. I'm not benefiting from doing this, I've just decided to do it off my own back.
cheers lads

Fifa 12 - Career Mode plea to Game developers!
I am an avid Fifa fan who was hugely disappointed with the Manager Mode in Fifa 11. On Fifa 10, if you were manager and used your 'Be A Pro' player in your team, but you were sacked, you were able to keep your player with you when you signed on as manager of a new club.
In Fifa 11, I was manager of Wigan, got sacked and then my 'Be A Pro' player completely disappeared. When I became manager of another team, he no longer existed!
I ended up trading in Fifa 11 and buying back Fifa 10.
I am writing in the vain hope of begging the producers of Fifa 12 to change this back, so that you can keep your 'Be A Pro' player with you at all times. I would really really appreciate it if this could happen, as I definitely want to get Fifa 12, but only ever play Manager Mode with your 'Be A Pro' player in your squad.
Please Fifa 12 developers!!!!|||Dude, you should learn how to play so that you don't get sacked....
But EA, Career mode in general needs major sorting out: Especially player development and player sales...|||It's not just if you're sacked, it's anytime you want to change club I believe. It's a stupid design decision - one of MANY - and should be changed. This was not an issue in FIFA 10 when using your VP in MM.
|||It's annoying because I really want to get Fifa 12, but if the manager mode is the same as Fifa 11, where you lose your Be A Pro if you change clubs, I'll just have to trade it in again. So it's probably not worth the risk of spending £40 on a game when I'd just have to trade it in when I find out it's not been improved.|||Trust me, you aren't alone in being hesitant about buying FIFA 12 just because of CM. EA really let down the fans of their main single player mode this year.|||Were you annoyed with other parts as well then? Sounds like they got it wrong with Fifa 11 in lots of ways. :)|||standard, the game is *, the AI is shocking and the gameplay just sucks!! i was a big fan of fifa 10, really disapointed with 11. They need to get developers that understand football not just computer buffs who focus on making the game look good! Pro Evo 2011 on the other is great for gameplay, may be lacking on team names and database but it plays so much better and the graphics are better too!! so in all Fifa 11 = Massive fail|||career (manager) is the main single player mode so it should be rock solid. on the pitch everything in the game in near perfect. a lot of people mention development as a problem, and it is, but I also think team chemistry should play a role next year.|||Team chemistry, along with morale, fitness, and form, should most definitely be one of the pillar features of CM to ensure a more dynamic feel to the mode.
It's down-right laughable that UT has some of these features, albeit basic versions, while CM is threadbare.|||needs to be an online manager mode. so you can play your friends. Like Online Franchise in madden, but better made.
Ability to transfer players, systematic advance system, multitude of different competitions, so in a league theres a simultaneous cup going on. could maybe link to other user leagues for a champions league style thing?
Would mean you have to team build etc. but vs mates.
If this is too much, at least let you link your manager mode to a friends, so even if there are only 5 of you able to play, you can control the top 5 english teams, play cpu and each other, vie for stars around the world, sell players to each other, match up in the league and cup tournaments etc.
Some form of interactive community league is what is missing, other than that this game is damn near perfect.
Could do with ability to individually select socks and shorts (say as Man U and you are playing Newcastle select the white socks and shorts combo with red jersey etc.), more boots and accessories, hairstyles and general customisation. (ability to choose default celebration, FK and penalty taking style, personality traits like you can for creation centre players but for every player on console)
I'd like at LEAST 1 free roster/squad update after the january transfers. I know it's a business but 45 quid straight up is a lot of money. I'd hope we can have at least updated squads after january transfer period for online and offline leagues. Manually doing these transfers take a long time and also mean you're not eligible for trophies and awards if you do an offline league.
more stadiums, more atmosphere (like World Cup game), maybe more minor injuries in manager mode.
add more difficulty ratings, but not over powering the CPU, but making them play smarter. eg. Lampard on FIFA 11 can skill out anyone, but in real life he doesn't dribble past people, he'd put an incisive pass through the defense. Their vision should improve not their ball skills on these harder difficulties.|||If you're interested in an online mode you should check out UT or Master League Online in PES because FIFA has no business taking CM online until it first establishes a decent single player mode first, which at this rate won't be for a few more years, if ever.|||the PES one is garbage. the gameplay nothing on FIFA.
UT is just a money spinner and I have no time for that *. I want to manage a real team, just like offline, but play my mates, who may live in another town or not.
I agree with you though, fix offline first, but all that needs is a whole lot more attention, one more dev cycle on it and it should be considerably better.
Online probably works better in the latter half suggestion I have, as I'd realistically only have 5 to 10 mates in one league trying to win the title. I feel there's a huge market for it, and it'd add to the game a great deal. It's great fun trying to battle your mate for the signature of a young player or superstar and it also means that those big games will be a bigger challenge, with the right tactics on world class you can trounce chelsea or liverpool with arsenal etc.
|||This is the first FIFA game I buy...but i have played fifa at friends houses before. I had fifa 11 on computer till i got an xbox and bought fifa 11 for that. gameplay on xbox is better than the pc version...although the manager mode in fifa 11 pc is the exact same as manager mode on fifa 10 console (i guess they just copy pasted because they were lazy to design a CM for pc as well). my main concern is the difference and lack of quality in the career mode on console fifa 11.
THE CAREER MODE ON PC FIFA 11 IS WAYYYYYYY BETTER (essentially bc its fifa 10 CM, so i guess you could say fifa 10 CM is better). I really like the idea of virtual pro...its fun making him get better and progressing with him. However, it sucks * that when i want to "WORK" my way up in CM as player manager, i cant. i normally like starting low then working up to Real madrid, and i did that on the pc version of CM (fifa 10 CM). but on xbox i cant....im stuck with the same stupid club and also have no sponsors to make some cash off of. They really need to put the check box back in to CM to make sure your pro stays with you alllllll the time in player-manager mode....i get other offers from clubs as manager, not player-manager. this makes no sense at all....why would i accept a manager job, then i would have chosen manager at the start of a new career.
also they have removed the be a pro international cup from all Career modes. it was fun in fifa 11 pc (fifa 10) because it made you feel like you were in the world cup when playing as a pro.
just to sum up.....some mega needed improvements for the next update/game are.....
-player-manager offers at the end of a season in PM mode
-the return of the sponsors to make more money
-the return of the Be A Pro international cup in all Career modes (player, manager, and PM)
-team chemistry, thats one of the most important things for a manager
-the news page is kinda cluttered and annoying.....no need for info of winning a game that you know you just won
-the ability to buy like football gear with the money you make from your career....like sweet new mercurials or brand new keeper gloves, even buying celebrations would be cool, or a car that u can pull up to at your clubs stadium in the cutscenes.
fifa 11 was a bit of a let down because honestly, i liked the single player mode in fifa 11 pc (fifa 10) alot more|||please please please could you bring back scouting, and young players !
fifa 11 gets boring after one season, because you just have the same players.
fifa 10 can be played for alot longer due to the new players always coming in to the diff teams (although the naming system sucks)
also if possible, bring in some classic players, figo, zidane, maldini, muller, etc.
if possible, bring them in as youth players when scouting !
imagine the possibility, it would be 1000000000 times better than ultimate team.
also please allow us to edit players during CM, i mean specifically the accesories and boot types and styles.
i would like my team to have something conforming, to show off.
also that would be better so you can change the boots as real players do during a season.
basically, please bring back the scouting system, it added alot to the game, we just want a wider variety of players to scout. give a patient player a chance to benefit from playing through more than one season.
in fifa 10 i played through 9 season with ajax and managed an awesome team.
i hope somebody hears me , now i am off to create players because i cnt scout them :)
btw the game play in fifa 11 is awesome !|||To be honest who wasn't disappointed in FIFA 2011 - Career mode was a flop - A.I. movements was too unrealistic.
I Think Career mode flopped in these areas:
- Player development
- Took away the scout and upgrading staff like in Fifa 10
- Not being able to purchase players until 2 seasons in
- Player Valuation always changing RAPIDLY (one season Lloris was £22million the following season he's grown to 86 and he's valued at £15million)
- Promotion Finance - I got promoted to to premiership with Huddersfield; I got I think 200 or 500k ! what am i suppose to do with that!!! but with QPR and Coventry I got 8 Million!!
I would love to see featured in FIFA 12: -
- Swap deals with finance
- old player growth much better
- No point of having a player who will not move from his team (Schweinstiger - Messi - Neur Etc) we want to buy them let us
- Two player Season mode (maybe that would be too big maybe)
- CLASSIC XI - what about Z.Zidane; Rui Costa; Roberto Carlos; Cafu; ETC
- Maybe having a youth sqaud you can look after in Fifa as well as First team and reserves.
If i think of more i will update it :)

- Not being able to purchase players until 2 seasons in
- Player Valuation always changing RAPIDLY (one season Lloris was £22million the following season he's grown to 86 and he's valued at £15million)
- Promotion Finance - I got promoted to to premiership with Huddersfield; I got I think 200 or 500k ! what am i suppose to do with that!!! but with QPR and Coventry I got 8 Million!!
I would love to see featured in FIFA 12: -
- Swap deals with finance
- old player growth much better
- No point of having a player who will not move from his team (Schweinstiger - Messi - Neur Etc) we want to buy them let us
- Two player Season mode (maybe that would be too big maybe)
- CLASSIC XI - what about Z.Zidane; Rui Costa; Roberto Carlos; Cafu; ETC
- Maybe having a youth sqaud you can look after in Fifa as well as First team and reserves.
If i think of more i will update it :)
Fantasy League
What do people think of the idea of a Fantasy league/Tournament mode playable solo or multiplayer.
Basically you and your friends could set up a league or a tournament where you can each choose a existing team or create your own team name, choose a badge and a stadium to play at. Then set either a budget or a rating maximum that is available to each player and then take it in turns to pick/buy players up to their available budget.
Pretty similar to lounge mode at the moment but with the ability to create your own team without messing up all the rosters and still make the teams fairly even due to the imposed budgets and restraints.

FIFA 11 Servers are the Worst Ever
I game a good bit and primarily like to play online with friends. And online FIFA matches are hands down the worst I've ever played. Not trying to be an asshat, but I don't even want to buy another FIFA due to the experiences I have had with this game. Single player wise, it is a great game. But otherwise it is a freaking embarrassment.
Servers
Why is it that on random days i cant connect to the servers but everybody else can?
My club wants to play some games but i cant join since i cant connect to the servers today|||this has happened to me ALOT please get your act together EA its making the game unplayable at times|||^^^^^^bump^^^^^^^|||Happens to me you get used to it.. I just keep on trying it works..|||How is it after 20 years and over 3billion USD in revenue at EA, they still can't invest in servers for any game franchise they make hundreds of millions off of every year, from EA Sports to Battlefield...
And whose to say this EA server unavailability won't carry into Fifa 12...|||I can't connect either. All other MP games work fine|||still happening been a month|||Blows my mind that no one from EA can even be bothered to update us on this situation. Although at this point since it has been a month now without a fix, I am pretty sure they aren't even working on it.

Should EA separate the offline from online VPs?
Going through the variety of opinions and feedback on Clubs and Pro Ranked online vs offline Player Career Mode, a question that's indirectly raising itself is whether FIFA as a whole would benefit from separating/changing your offline from online VP progress?
There are good points raised for both sides:
For separating the offline from online VP:
1. Prevents VP cloning (cheating) by storing each player's progress online, not on a save file you share with others.
2. To level up, you'd need to play Club/Pro Ranked matches not simply "Barca vs Barnet on 1-1-8" friendlies.
3. Lets you try out different, multiple "careers" (different positions, different player styles) on Player Career Mode (offline), without impacting your Club's VP (online). For example, you like to live the career of a striker in BAP, but in your club you're a defender/midfielder.
4. Generally speaking, online you're required to have a high rating (e.g. many clubs only look for 85+ free agents; many want to simply start with real life players without having to go through a development process). On the other hand, offline it'd be more fun to start with very low rating and develop more slowly.
5. Similar to #4, there are many suggestions that would work on CM-Player but not so much for Clubs and vice versa. For example, while adding practice drills would help CM in terms of giving us something new to do, they can become easily exploitable to reach 90+ VP that you can take online. Separating the two would allow EA to take more freedom in developing both features without worrying about a conflict/unbalance.
For keeping the same VP offline and online:
1. It's simpler to have one VP to worry about.
2. People don't always play online, so it's better to be able to level up offline then play the odd game with friends online.
3. Similar to #2, as clubs are looking for highly rated free agents, it means you'd need to play more and more Pro Ranked before you'd find a club, and we all know how random Pro Ranked matches are. Getting the position you want to play isn't particularly easy either on Pro Ranked.
4. If the separation isn't coupled with different development systems for each mode, then it'll mean doing the same laundry list of accomplishments twice. Accomplishments are already being called "boring" and if anything we will have more of them next year.
5. Add your own. I just wanted to add a fifth point to make things look balanced :)
Sooo.. what do you guys think? .. Should EA do something to differentiate offline from online in terms of our VPs? or should they keep it the way it is right now?
Thanks!
|||I want multiple VPs. I couldn't care less about online play but it should be possible to have different VPs for different CMs.|||
That's sort of the reason why I personally favour separating offline from online, though I do care a lot about online play as well.
Right now the only way your player would develop is via those accomplishments, so even if you do it strictly offline, you're still limited to one "career" (unless you delete your save file and start over, then again, why would you do that when the accomplishments are identical?).
I'd like to pick a player position/role/style in CM and I'd have specific season expectations and development path for that role throughout my career. Then I want to have multiple careers each with their own unique goals. Plus, I don't want to be rated 80+ within my first season :)
At the same time though, I understand that these roles might be different from the one(s) I'd be playing in Clubs, and I also understand for many people online is more important than offline and so making the development of VPs slower makes things worse (which is something I also agree with).
So for the sake of enabling both modes to reach their full potential, a separation is perhaps necessary.
Maybe your online persona can still "benefit" from what you do using your offline player careers (be it some sort of master list of accomplishments/milestones that rewards your online VP with some boosts), but I just think they shouldn't be identical.|||Voted yes. Would like to see seperate VPs. Im not much of an offline player. I would like to see the vp grow through pro rank and clubs. But on the other hand, if they make CM go online(my fifa wet dream :) ) like what pes have done with master league, i wouldnt mind the VP being the same.|||
I like the concept of an online career mode (to start with a bunch of no-names and build my squad up), and EA has Clubs as well which I think they can also turn into a CM-like mode that uses real life human beings in transfer markets and such :) (but nothing too complex obviously).
|||
Ye i am hoping(fingers crossed) that they go that way with CM. In my eyes its a major way forward for that mode. PES has set the stall for it. Hoping EA follow suit.|||
Well, when you say it that way then I'm afraid I have to disagree :)
CM is still by far the most popular game mode (I don't have statistical data in front of me but that's based on a quick survey of the forums) and I think there are lots of ways EA can improve it and make it much more addictive, without having to turn it into an online mode. In fact, you'd be losing a big part of the mode's realism by turning it into an online mode simply because there's no way to organize a whole season (let alone a whole career) with the online community (It'll most definitely be a Galacticos Football- / FIFA Superstars- / Captain Tsubasa-style career mode, which is what MLO also is). Plus, if we look at the benchmark of management modes, we see that even FM Live is nowhere near as realistic (or stable) as FM offline. For all these reasons, even though I'd love to see an online CM-like mode, I don't think it'd be a good move on EA's part to completely forget the offline one.
.. and I think this sort of relates to the reasoning behind my question above. Realism is a major concern for many people, but sometimes it's difficult to do when you mix the offline and online world. People want realistic (read: slower) growth so they appreciate the journey, but there's no such thing as a "journey" to 99% of online users. And it's not about who's right or who's wrong, they're just two different worlds with two different expectations/standards. I simply don't see a way to please everyone without some form of separation/distinction between the two. It doesn't have to be a complete separation (like NHL, I think), but some differentiation would help in my opinion.|||
I share your sentiments exactly. Make sure these thoughts get to the devs if you can.
I also agree about CM not going online. CM has no business going online when the offline version is so short on features and arguably poor, especially compared to what the competition has had for years. And if some form of a career mode does go online, it must be separate from the dedicated offline version. Probably the best solution if there is going to be an online career mode is to build it from UT, since it's already half way there.|||Probably put my point across wrong. I wasnt meaning for it to interfere with the offline mode. I understand there is plenty off players that prefer it this way. But ive played offline for years and prefer online. Just my preference. Im just after something different with Fifa now. Its current set up is boring(for me anyway). Thats why i was hoping for some form of online CM, like yous have said with a bunch of generics to build up. Not sure it would happen,but it needs something new.
Ps sorry for taking your thread of topic.|||ive never got into the vp clubs idea. one thing i would like to be taken out, or at least to be given the option to. is playing a career mode with my vp in the squad.|||

Can't you do that already in FIFA?
A silly tiny idea
I know this would not affect the game whatsoever but think it would be a nice little "bonus" feature..
How about a "create a celebration"
In this you could link a couple of little moves together to create your own "unique" celebration...that you could use for your VP...obviously a "time limit" would have to apply to stop ppl from abusing this but if it was done right it could be a nice little feature|||.

Make players more realistic
More realistic! Let us make our own club with our own logos, jerseys,. More variety on commentary, Peroo Bermudez and Pelaz get boring!!!
REMOVE CUSTOM TACTICS
Probably one of the worst features in FIFA. You literally cannot * pass the ball. Why? Because the majority of the ball play with 1 width thus the whole * team around the ball. 1 pressure or 100 makes no difference. Game is unplayable. You may say: Maybe try quick passing. If I do that it takes my players 10 minutes to stop the ball.
/rant. Remove custom tactics, it makes this already piece of * game even more unplayable.|||No it isn't just practice more at fifa I can beat people with custom tactics, custom tactics is part of real football.

Ranking points stucked from yesterday at many people
Hello
from yesterday evening few friends and me has stucked ranking points at e.g. 4126 level, 4662 level and no matter we win or loose, play 1 or 10 matches, ranking points will not move, is it some bug or EA ranking points are not working from yesterday?|||I'm exactly in the same situation... this sucks!!! did you get any help!?|||no, support didn't respond at all
|||how long have you this problem!? I've for 2 days long...|||yesterday and today.. its all the same..|||do you know anyone else with the same problem and how long took to resolse it?|||Is there any indication how long this is going to take to sort this out?...it makes online play feel pretty pointless
|||yes all have it from yesterday, it's carp that EA can't solve the problem fast and don't answer anything for 2 days and still waiting...|||I'm curious if EA will be able to recount points for the matches played under this error...|||Its just problem after problem
|||It would be nice to get points back but i very much doubt it
|||after what previous problem?|||That was a mistake I didnt mean that....I have a PS3 and just realised I was accusing the EA servers for all of the playstation network *..haha...sorry.........But this points thing still seriously sucks|||Iv got the same problem no matter what result! also my ranked games played are stuck as should of got 100 and counting trophy :) ?|||this * is pissing meh off lyk g * . how the hell im winnin games then muh ranking points aint movin upp ...smfh

Fix the button lag in FIFA 12 teamplay!!!
I'm so sick of the button lag it's so *!!! Idk why they never fix it its so annoying. Can they get it fix for FIFA 12??
Couple of suggestions
First, it would be nice to see the injuries a bit more. When your Pro gets injured you see them fall and then either get up or hobble off to the side or get carried out (I believe).
When another player gets injured you just see them go down and that is it. It would be nice to see them do the same and hobble off or be carried out as well.
Secondly, with Career mode, at the end it would be nice to see any changes you made to the teams or players in the creation center be instantly updated to the Career mode or even at the end of the season. Now it seems you may make a few changes for Stadium names or new created players you want on a team etc, but find they won't be implemented until you start a brand new Career, rather then have it updated in your current Career mode...

Online quitters
I am very close to giving up on Fifa 11 online. Reason: your opponent quitting when you're winning. :)
I've been playing around 10 matches the past 2 days, and ALL of my opponents quit on me and it's driving me mad. I get no points - my online points are still 1027, as they were 2 days ago. I think EA should do something about this problem, and I've got some suggestions :)
1) Performancepoints are still awarded as if the game ended like it should. The points you get for winning/losing should be awarded as the score was when the match ended. This really shouldn't givee EA headaches :)
2) The person who didn't quit should be awarded points as if he had won 3-0 - I think this is what's supposed to happen, but I just don't get any points....
Feel free to add suggestions to what EA can do, hopefully they will hear us! :)|||When they quit you should be able to finish the game against the computer.|||
This is what i've seen, if an opponent leaves the match BEFORE 10 MINS he doesn't lose points and i don't gain points anything after that you gain points and a win and the oppenent loses points and gets a lose this SYSTEM IS FAIR|||It's fair to a point.
There have been any amount of times when I've scored in the first couple of mins and been quit on immediately, therefore the game didn't count.
Quitting doesn't bother me per se, so long as you get the points / defeat etc... but the 10min rule should be discounted once a goal is scored.
|||This is my first post on this forum and its because of this reason ive had to find it!!!
i totally agree that something needs to be done, i too have come close to quitting online because of these idiots that quit! i was playing the best game ever we was equally matched oppontants we was drawing 2-2 coming to the last few minutes of 2nd half extra time everyone is thinking its going to penalites when all of a sudden gerrard makes a dash down the left wing crosses into the box Kuyt gets his head on the end of it ... its in 3-2 im in the lead....back to kick off with a swift tackle ive got the ball again in the just outside the box gerrard is out of postion i pass the ball its the last second of the game he hits it with his laces it sails though the air in the back of the net 4-2 the game is mine its stuff that dreams of made of.....but before i could finish celebrating my last minute win, thinking that the other guy on the end of this playstation is an alright guy i get that message .... CONNECTION LOST/TERMINATED AKA THE OTHER GUY HAS SHUT YOU DOWN!!!!
something drastic needs to be done about this i agree with a suggestion earlier that if someone is to quit on you during the game does not matter at what point that is 1min or 90th minute if it was a genuie accident or someone did it on purpose then the game should be forfieted by that player and they should lose by 3 goals to 0....just like you would if you forfiet a game while playing in career mode!
sorry this has been a long post but i had to get my feelings across about this matter and the pain i suffered from that game! i just hope that EA take note an but a new patch out for the game and dont make us wait till FIFA 12 it may be too late by that point!
Any decent players want to go head to head find me in the game CalvinJay|||
thing is, in that game you described, you will have been awarded the points and a 3-0 win.
it's just not a very satisfying way to get it.
|||
yes i agree its not as satisfying as the win i would of had however i feel that we should benifit from some form of win rather than absoulty nothing just because they decided to terminate the game!

1) Performancepoints are still awarded as if the game ended like it should. The points you get for winning/losing should be awarded as the score was when the match ended. This really shouldn't givee EA headaches :)
2) The person who didn't quit should be awarded points as if he had won 3-0 - I think this is what's supposed to happen, but I just don't get any points....
Feel free to add suggestions to what EA can do, hopefully they will hear us! :)|||When they quit you should be able to finish the game against the computer.|||
I am very close to giving up on Fifa 11 online. Reason: your opponent quitting when you're winning. :)

This is what i've seen, if an opponent leaves the match BEFORE 10 MINS he doesn't lose points and i don't gain points anything after that you gain points and a win and the oppenent loses points and gets a lose this SYSTEM IS FAIR|||It's fair to a point.
There have been any amount of times when I've scored in the first couple of mins and been quit on immediately, therefore the game didn't count.
Quitting doesn't bother me per se, so long as you get the points / defeat etc... but the 10min rule should be discounted once a goal is scored.
|||This is my first post on this forum and its because of this reason ive had to find it!!!
i totally agree that something needs to be done, i too have come close to quitting online because of these idiots that quit! i was playing the best game ever we was equally matched oppontants we was drawing 2-2 coming to the last few minutes of 2nd half extra time everyone is thinking its going to penalites when all of a sudden gerrard makes a dash down the left wing crosses into the box Kuyt gets his head on the end of it ... its in 3-2 im in the lead....back to kick off with a swift tackle ive got the ball again in the just outside the box gerrard is out of postion i pass the ball its the last second of the game he hits it with his laces it sails though the air in the back of the net 4-2 the game is mine its stuff that dreams of made of.....but before i could finish celebrating my last minute win, thinking that the other guy on the end of this playstation is an alright guy i get that message .... CONNECTION LOST/TERMINATED AKA THE OTHER GUY HAS SHUT YOU DOWN!!!!
something drastic needs to be done about this i agree with a suggestion earlier that if someone is to quit on you during the game does not matter at what point that is 1min or 90th minute if it was a genuie accident or someone did it on purpose then the game should be forfieted by that player and they should lose by 3 goals to 0....just like you would if you forfiet a game while playing in career mode!
sorry this has been a long post but i had to get my feelings across about this matter and the pain i suffered from that game! i just hope that EA take note an but a new patch out for the game and dont make us wait till FIFA 12 it may be too late by that point!
Any decent players want to go head to head find me in the game CalvinJay|||
they should lose by 3 goals to 0
thing is, in that game you described, you will have been awarded the points and a 3-0 win.
it's just not a very satisfying way to get it.

Two-legged tie option
How about an option to to play a knockout 2 legged tie match from the start up menu - against a mate/online or even against the CPU.
Home & Away matches - including the away goals rule - extra time & penalties if needed.
thoughts? :)|||i think thats a great idea...would help settle arguments between my mates|||yeah shouldn't be too hard to implement either unless the game has problems understanding the away goals rule :)
they can even advertise it on the back of the box: "ZOMG BRAND NEW GAME MODE"

Fifa 12 Pro Club fixes
These problems need sorting ASAP before it ruins the game anymore:
- remove ANY from pro clubs (what is the point in playing pro club if you are gonna play as any. if i wanted to play a game like that i would just play a head to head). Also stop tactical red cards so if a team is losing they get an any player, whats the point in that - RETARDED.
-if a team quits because they are losing in the first minute then allow advancements in the cup. what is the purpose of being good if people just quit and you cant advance unless you dont play properly for five minutes
-stop the keepers rolling a ball out to the back line when the opposite team is just waiting there to poach a goal.
-make the rest of your ai team play at a decent level otherwise unless you have at least 5 players on yours|||-more servers = less lag
-if u quit u lose
-ai players at same level as your pros
-better gks as so many goals are easy
-able to watch if not playing
-join the bench if late into game
-local leagues
