Post: Ideas & Improvements for FIFA 13 | Official NGU Suggestions Thread
10-10-2011, 11:35 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Quite a self-explanatory title, just post whatever you'd like to see improved upon, altered, added or removed to/from FIFA 13. This thread primarily applies to the Xbox 360, PS3 & PC versions, although you can recommend stuff for other platforms too.


So first up, a few suggestions that come to mind for me:

  • Overhaul the ranking system for virtual pros, so the levelling system is more likened to how RPG games handle it.
  • Remove the current assisted control scheme, make semi-assisted the new assisted.
  • Completely remake the manual control scheme, so manual players have controls that cater to their own control preference and aren't just advanced assisted controls.
  • Fix career mode's CPU growth, if it isn't fixed for FIFA 12 in a patch.
  • Hire unbiased football fans for player ratings and player appearances. For example, how on earth is Nani not only as slow as a goat on FIFA 12 but also rated overall worse than Gareth Bale? Seriously? C'mon...
  • Make creation centre DLC free or on-disc. We pay for the game and you make enough money EA, don't get greedy.
  • Make slide tackles more effective. At the moment it feels like you just glide and glitch straight through a player's legs and it's near-enough impossible to purposefully hack an opposition player to the ground, which it shouldn't be given the impact engine.

There should be an online setting (one of those options each player can mutually agree/filter on) for skipping all replays and intros. Sometimes I only have time for a quick game and end up with someone who wants to watch the lineup...

I would like a feature that will allow us to hit the reffer, just that!

1. Fix Manual Controls gameplay. I mean seriously, everytime you do a standing tackle and your opponent passes the ball "to you" it goes through your player's legs. Fix first touch passing, I don't want to pass the ball to the cameramen all the time. Make assisted controlled players "less powerful". By this I mean, 1 - 2 Pass to a lobbed through ball. Everytime I play online, someone does that and I can't really do anything to stop it.

2. Fix Career mode. I mean fix it. Specially Be a Pro Career mode. I was playing on my GK career mode and got put on the reserve team since "I wasn't doing my job". Well, if the computer only passes around and doesn't take any chances what the f*** am I suppose to do?

3. Add chipped crosses. Like a button combination of X + LB / Square + L1. Would be great.

4. Have the referee and the assistant referees do mistakes. I mean, you can't tell everytime from the side line if someone is 1 inch offside, seriously it's ridiculous. Might be kind of shady, but these mistakes will make the game more realistic.

Career Mode

TRANSFERS
- Buy back, sell on, release, buy out clauses where the amount can be specified as a % of a specific amount of money.
- Better AI intelligence with transfers - they should be maintaining strength in all positions; not just buying attacking players and selling defenders, for example.
- We should be able to compare the stats of players in our current squad with potential new signings, so we know for sure whether it will be an improvement before having to submit a bid.
- There should be a lot more free agents on the transfer market, as per the real world, and it should be more difficult to sign them - having to outbid other clubs (like an auction).

- Training Days: would be really cool if we could manage the calendar day for training.

- Special final/big game goal celebrations - such as Aguero taking his shirt off against QPR on the final day of the season.

- Commentary acknowledging long term achievements for the player/club (100th game at this team/20th goal of season etc.)
- The crowd should not always be full. This should depend on popularity and form of the team.

PRE-MATCH
- Feedback about the team you're facing – giving an insight towards tactical decisions you might wish to make.
- Pre Match Conference of the manager or a star player
- Importance of matches should be measured on a scale of '1 to 10', which affects the crowd excitement and commentary. If you leave out star players from an important match, it may be questioned.

FORM/MORALE
- Form should have an impact that adds up to 5 points to each attribute and takes away up to 5 points in each attribute, based on player form over the last 6 matches.
- Morale should be affected by the amount of game time.

OTHER
- Interactive menus in an environment such as houses, stadium, training ground, hotel rooms etc.
- The option to start Career Mode unemployed and have a selection of smaller clubs from around the world offers you contracts.
- Traits, skills and weak foot ability should also be gained and improved while playing CM. Like if you have a player with good heading but no power header- after 50 headed goals or 200 headed shots he will gain power header.
- The option to start career mode after the summer transfer window, so squads remain default.
- Players should have variable injury times - so half way along their recovery they get a set back or are doing better than expected and will be back sooner than initially thought.
- Be given the opportunity to intervene in simulated matches part-way through.
- Realistic and random unusual events like player arrested or having argument with manager - leading to longer match bans.
- Young players growth needs to be fixed so it balances out in all areas for a player.

- The calendar should give us information about special dates, matches, training days, conferences, international breaks/tournaments (who will be playing), info about injuries (estimated return dates).
- You should be able to receive various job offers at any time during the season, not just at the end (both Player and Manager).
- The ability to change/redesign your strips for each new season with the option of different sponsors and kit manufacturers.
- Custom Entrance Music should have multiple options i.e. League, FA Cup, Champions League.
- After a player you have on loan goes back to their parent club, you should get the wage budget back.
- In friendlies we should be able to have 12 players on the bench and makes as many subs as we like.
- Be able to offer more than three year contracts to youth team players.
- Request a higher wage with risk of lowering reputation/squad rank - but wages need to have a purpose.
- In the calendar, don't stop the simulation unless you press to stop simulating. Not automatically when players want a rest.
- Section for shortlisted players with stats about them and recent form.
- When a player is getting older their technical attributes shouldn't decrease, it should be their physical attributes.
- Save multiple starting line ups for different types of matches. E.g. league/cup.
- Medical Department to monitor the progress of healing of one or more injured players. They should recommend you rest or play people.
- Older players generally lose pace and strength in real life, but improve mentally and technically. I think players should drop in physical stats but still grow in mental areas and certain technical areas.
- Have the option to see cut scenes involving tournament draws to see who you will play.
- Changing managers at other clubs if they are fired/leave, so managers of clubs actually change.
- See stats about every league in the world - who is winning etc.
- Club records, where you can rewrite history by breaking them and receive awards for doing so.
- Career mode trophy cabinet containing the trophies you have gained as a manager and a bit of information about them, such as how many points/who against etc.
- Player history/statistics such as previous teams/goals scored in career.
- The youth systems of other teams should be producing good players.
- When showing statistics after the game, the players should be displayed as the CGI faces, so it does not result in black silhouettes for some players.
- Wages earned as Manager or Player should be usable, so they have more influence on the game. Accumulated wages should be a currency for unlockables, such as clothing or boots, for example.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Gameplay
- Quick substitutions accessible in-game so you never have to leave the action. This could be in the form of a drop-down menu like when changing the set-piece taker.
- Evening matches should be floodlit
- During the game, we should be able to see the managers on the touchline. (Possible 'Create a Manager' feature)
- You should be able to get injured by clashing heads or colliding with goalposts.
- Have real corner flags that the ball bounces off when hit.
- Make the CPU more likely to foul.
- Kits that get dirty as you progress through the match.
- Stretchers for serious injuries (adding to injury time at the end of the match).
- More realistic crowd
- Cut scene when players get sent off, as they walk off/protest.
- It would be nice if the referees/linesmen made the odd mistake now and again, so it seems more realistic. This would also make for talking points in post-match interviews if a major decision went against your team.
- We should be able to see more types of people pitch-side such as stewards, ball boys and cameramen.
- The referee's kit should change in accordance with the colour of the teams playing, so it does not result in clashes.
- The goalkeeper kits need to be the real ones.
- When you have ordered a substitution, the cameras could show a cut-scene of that player warming up.
- 4th referee holding up the numbers for a substitution and injury time.
- Aggravated players or players having a particularly bad game should be more likely to get booked for complaining to the ref.
- Improved weather system - more realistic rain and snow with various visuals/heavinesses.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Game Customisation
- Stadiums which can be customized and saved to a specific club, which should be an option in the kick-off mode. This way we can make our own stadiums with the correct capacity for clubs that are not currently featured.
- Have a feature where you can Create/design your own boots/kits/logos.
- Built-in Creation Centre

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Commentary
- The commentators should talk about real football in the first season, and then in the 2nd and so forth the commentators should talk about what your team has done in the GAME, EA. I am fed up winning the CL only for the commentators to say I have never won it. EA remember it is a game not real life OK?
- In Career Mode Or manager Mode or Tournament. When in-game shows the results from another match, make the commentary say what is going on, in the whole tournament. Make him talk about whose first place, most goals in such, who is winning.
- Commentators should be able to say the names of lesser clubs; not just 'home' or 'away team'.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Game Realism
- Add more Real Free-Kick/Penalty Animations.
- They should make certain managers like in FIFA World cup 2010
- Pitch Pattern/colour - What's the point of having a "Random" option if the pattern will be the same in all stadiums you play? make it random, some will have large horizontal, other chequered, etc... Also, different pitches from different stadiums have different shades of green.
- Flip a coin at the start of the game, pick ends pick who kicks off etc, same when you go to penalties, should be able to turn this addition off if you like however if you do not want to use it.
- Add every single manager to the game so they are visible on the sideline. Maybe get realistic ones for the big managers: Ferguson, Wenger, and Mourinho.
- When you go into a cup game show the actual cup logo and not the generic one.
- Make Sleeve Badges separate from the Shirt and assigned to the league you’re playing in? So if you are West Ham, obviously you will have the default Championship sleeve badge in Exhibition mode, but if you get Promoted to the Premier League in CM you will wear the Premier League Badge on your sleeve??
- Change Referee Kit colours to avoid clashes
- A "Dive" button where you could fool a Referee. But don't make it stupid and childish. Like in PES, when you’re by yourself no one marking you and the referee isn't even looking at you, and you decide to dive for fun.
- Add Real GK Kits for ALL teams!
- Add proper Kits fonts for the back of shirts? you have the Premier League Licenses for example so use the proper Premier League Fonts for Names & Numbers on the backs of shirts!?
- Players who have tattoos should have tattoos in the game.
- Create "Night" for all Stadiums.
- Add the ability to change the captain to someone else if the Captain gets subbed off!?
- National Anthems before international matches.
- When a player gets injured like "Broken Leg" or "Broken Tailbone" he should not be able to leave the pitch walking. You should add stretchers.
- More National Teams: Ghana, Nigeria, Japan, Ukraine, Serbia, Czech Republic
- Substitutes warming up in their warm-ups on the side of the pitch.
- More argument, fight, scenes. Not real fighting, but pushing and arguments. That was pretty nice back then when the players would push each other and a referee comes in and gives a card.
- Let us rename Generic things? so we can rename the Euro Cup to the Champions League like we can do in FM.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Brand New Features
- Bring back unlockables! Real Training Kits etc?
- Add the option of being able to add Game Face to any generic player
- Add Coloured / Patterned Nets? Man City for e.g. use Black nets at the Etihad stadium.
- Different training arenas/fields/cages.
- Change the person taking the throw such as when taking corners + free kicks.
- If you have a giant/long throw specialist have a button to press in the last couple of minutes to bring everyone forward into box.
- Co-op arena, where you can invite your friends for a kick about in the arena or training ground with their virtual pro.
- When playing with a friend, both on the same console, they should be allowed to transfer their virtual pro via online sign-in, so you can use both virtual pros in the game.
- Real Training facilities

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

EA Store & Online Sharing
- Have DLC in the EA store
- Download faces for existing players in game

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Stadium Atmosphere
- Crowds should be louder and more excitable in big games, derbies or cup finals.
- Pitch invasions should take place upon clinching promotion, surviving relegation or winning a title.
- If you go to edit a team, you should choose a 'Awesome faceefault Audio' for that team to be played in its selected stadium, ranging from South America, Asia, Europe etc. This gives more feeling of culture and crowd sound.
- Different stadiums should have different things going on in the crowd - such as flares and banners or bands playing music, for example.
- Fans should cheer and boo more at missed opportunities or close chances - such as a player scoring, but being flagged offside.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Online Head-to-Head
- Add the ability to use Saved Line-ups & Formations on Head-to-Head

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Pro Clubs
- Custom kits and crests should be implemented.
- Practice free roam arena you can load up and just practice passing, shooting and set pieces with team mates from your online club. Would really be fun so you could have the attacker/midfield on one team practising passing and moving with the defenders on another team working as a unit. Or add team games and challenges like free kick challenges, penalty kick challenges and 1v1 challenges to just get some practice and have a laugh with your team mates. Could have dribbling around cones, hitting targets to practice long passing just general things to help improve your team.
- A currency in Pro Clubs, so you can save up for a new stadium or third kit, for example.
- If you join the lobby too late, there should be a spectator mode where you can watch your team play.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Ultimate Team

PLAYERS
- Allow players to have all positions from their Player Info, so they can be played in any of the given positions.
- Player can be released from packs with main position (written on a card), and if people want to unlock other preferable positions (from ''player info''Winky Winky, they should buy ''position cards'', e.g. ''CAM'', ''LB'', and apply it to player.
- Introduce progressive chemistry (the longer a player plays in your team the higher his chemistry gets), introduce more chemistry links: same language, same continent, previously played together etc.

STAFF
- More managers. But more importantly, more varied managers. In my club there are currently 6 Norwegian managers, 5 Austrian managers, 3 Mexican managers, and yet to my knowledge there isn't a single USA manager in the entire game. This is just an example, as there a quite a few good nations that are lacking a manager in the game.
- A new member of staff – Financial Advisor - they would be gold only, providing +1% for regular gold, +2% for rare golds. Percentage total would be capped at +15%. This would increase how many coins you earn per match.These would have a low pack weight so would be pretty rare to come across, making them valuable. Which means it would be a long-term investment kind of idea.

AUCTIONS/TRADING
- You could put your players up for loan, in a similar way to how you sell players. Specify the loan period and how much it will cost the buyer.
- There should be lots more ways to search for things on the auction market. For example, quality: bronze, silver, gold, IF, to find IF players easier. Search by height/skills/stronger foot/name (e.g. what letter their name starts with or something) etc.
- Bring back trade offers.

OTHER
- Add more player statistics/records (who's the best goalscorer in club, assists, clean sheets, etc).
- More money per game.
- Have a separate star rating for matchmaking that is only seen by the computer when pairing players, this should ignore peoples benches.
- More advanced searches. E.g. search for one specific formation/search players by name.
- Player info showing appearances/goals/assists a player has for your club, rather than every other club that player has played for before you bought them.
- Customizable badges.
- Less frequent injuries.
- Reduce the importance of pace or introduce handicaps for pacey teams.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Create A Player
It should let you select under shirts & under shorts
It should let you choose traits
It should let you choose 4 favourite positions instead of just 1
It should let you add tattoos
There need to be more choice of hair style & hair colour
It should let you choose from more boots with various colours for each boot

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Creation Centre
- Offer a 24 team Group and Knockout tournament option. I am unable to create a realistic CONCACAF Champions League because EA only provides 4, 8, 16, and 32 team Group & Knockout tournaments.
- Fix the profanity filter.
- Fully functional creation centre, so you can upload a league with all the teams into career mode and make it tiered, so you can get promoted from that league an also compete in selected cup tournaments. E.g. Conference
- Ability to upload game faces for up to 4 players per Creation Centre team.
- More kit and boot styles and colours while keeping the current ones.
- Ability to add a 2nd sponsor on the back of the kit. Many Mexican, Central American and South American teams have sponsors on the back of the shirt as well as the one on the front.
It would be interesting if the use of the Creation Centre could be built into the game without the need for any internet connection to download what you did. I don’t know, I think those features that require internet are somewhat presumptuous. There are people like me who do not like online game modes, but would like to have resources available also in offline mode.
- More freedom to insert image all over the shirt/shorts/socks (shoulder, sleeves, down)
- Edit GK kits
- More letter and number fonts
- Wider colour's palette
-Now if you have a colourful logo you cannot let it totally white, only other colours
- Custom Goalkeeper Kits - right now I believe there is only one default option, the teal-ish goalie kit for custom teams, allow us the ability to create 2 keeper kits for our teams – home and away
- More Kit Templates and Options - pretty self-explanatory I think, and we should be able to have more control over which colours can go on what part of the kit, right now we're only allowed 3 colours per jersey and this is a bit irritating. Also, if we could make it so that we could have different kit combinations, like Man U red/white/black in the league, and red/white/white in the Champions League

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Fixes

- Defensive AI needs to be improved, tracking runs and positioning is awful.
- Human GK's are overpowered.
- A filter on pro clubs needs to be added to choose between playing ANY/NON ANY teams.
- Lobbed passes shouldn't be as accurate (holding X with defender = straight to striker)
- Ultra defensive shouldn't be more effective than Ultra attacking, it just shows how unbalanced this game is.
- CM's should be a viable option, football is not about spamming one two's between strikers and having the rest of your team defend.
- First time passes and shots are broken as well as volleys, the amount of times passes go to the completely wrong player its ridiculous and first time shots that go over when there is an open goal.
- Fix contain defending, so it does not prevent opposition from doing anything.

the animations, such as substitutions, goals celebrations and when teams enter the field should be improved... they're almost the same in last FIFAs and it doesn't seem like real players do that :srsly:
