I just want J League back...

To be able to set up links or relationships with feeder clubs. Like what chelsea did with La Galaxy, Man Utd with Royal Antwerp, etc...that'll be a nice feature

Despite what others think of the idea to include the stadium around the pitch, I do feel this is something that could be looked at. Currently there is no graphical representation as to who is at home during the match, it isnt important but it would add flavour.

Just a simple couple of rows of inanimate supporters in the club colours around the edge of the screen, with a small section set aside for away support. If each clubs "stadium" had a different section of the ground for away support this would improve individuality between clubs.

Im not looking for total realism, meaning a true reflection of real stadiums and where they put the away support. I was just thinking about it last night- Cisse had scored at they all ran in the corner to celebrate, currently they could be playing on the local park but in my FM minds eye he ran towards the away fans were to celebrate. Ideally this could be linked to ingame text "The away support are furious" etc

We've all seen the "they love him" message after a goal, Again in my imagination hes running towards the home end when that comes up.

Its quite easy to build up an affinity with players but doing the same with a club is more difficult as they are pretty much indentical.

Ultimately, none of this will improve the game in itself but it would improve the game you play in you head at the same time(Thats not just me is it?).

I really would like too see background changes return as i really do miss it like in cm3/4.Especially stadium backgrounds when you play a match,i do read the forums and a lot of people keep posting messages on how to do this in fm2005/2006 which i know is not in the games so it shows that a lot of people miss this option, and it should be an option i think it made the original cm3/4 games more atmospheric,i know some people dont think its necessary but if it is an option you can choose to use it or not

What a ridiculously arrogant thing to say. It assumes that because you expatiate the most you know the most or have the greatest understanding. Breathtaking naivety from one who proclaims to be so clever.

As for suggestions for FM 07, here's a brief outline of my twopenneth:

- must be a way of having players in the first team squad regularly turn out for the reserves if I so decide. Not only to maintain match fitness but to aid injury recovery.

- all aspects of the media model need huge development, as opposed to the piecemeal progression of 2006.

- still greater variation in the match engine. There needs to be more mistakes, more sparks of genius, better goals and cleverer football. However good a team you create or however you set them up tactically, you could never recreate the way Arsenal play IRL in FM. There is very little quick incisive passing, little vision or creative flair. Ronaldinho just looks like any other decent striker on the game because there isn't the scope in the engine for his class to be portrayed. Viewed independently the FM match engine is excellent, when viewed in relation to a real match there is no comparison. Whilst parity is impossible, SI can and must close the gap with each release.

They're what spring to mind instantly.

Now i play quite alot of managing games and today whilst playing LMA Manager on the ps2 i had a sort of idea for FM,weel waht it is, is LMA have shortcuts as what to shout at your players when your team our in possesion eg say triangle would be to shoot on site in a situation where your 2-1 down with five minutes to go.

i feel this would go well in FM as after your players have had there milk and cookies at half time during the team talk, the rest is down to them isn't it? you can't really do anything else but watch the game and make a few subs. sure you can pause the game and set the mentality to attack in that situation realism away, i want to be able to tell my players PRECISELY what to do in situations from the touchline not pause the game to have to .Generally i feel that having shortcuts to shout at your players during real time would add realism to FM as in real life you don't just see jose sitting on the bench during the match, you see him getting agitated at every incident during the game telling his players what to do shouting there heads off.

i also want to be able to argue with the refs decisions and i want to get touchline bans during the game so then it would bring a new aspect to FM that is you'd have to phone your assistant and give him insructions on what to do during the game, i also want to see like in real life players bombarding the referee when a decision goes against them, more stupid yellow and red card decisions to get fully across in FM just how difficult a referee's job is.

Now then heres the weird but sort of good idea imo i had today (bear with me i'm not sure how to word this) well what i thought was for people with webcams could connect there webcams to the game and during the game when a penalty kick is awarded against the human manager lets say there angry the camera would catch this and save it into lets say c://program files/fm2007/camera/penalty0987 and the next day you'd get a media item that says something along the lines of 'team x manager misery as his team crash out of FA Cup to acontraversial penalty kick'
underneath it would have watch, it would then show you the penalty kick and your reaction to the decision. As what sky sports do when a penalty/goal is given.

Some of the things I would like to see are:

1) The ability to talk to your players. Seems to me to be a fundamental part of the game still unexplored. It would be nice to explain why you are doing certain things. Such as, "Resting you for the big cup game coming up." and "Dropping you for poor form" or "One more poor game and you're dropped" Player reactions should vary relating to their mental stats.

2) Post match interviews. Simple set of options to allow you to get your point across to fans, the board and opposition managers. As well as a chance to praise / criticise the ref. Although I know that the ref aspect is difficult to implement legally.

3) Better interaction from the fans. Who do they rate at the club? Who do they feel is letting the side down? How happy were they when you rested your key players for the cup game and you got knocked out?

4) Better media. Media questions or comments should be there to put pressure on you. If you go on a run of five or six 1-0's or 0-0's they should start a campaign complaining that you are boring. If you go on a good run they should hype you up with exaggerations. They should target players in a similar fashion. Would be nice to be able to praise / criticise opposition players either before or after a game.

5) Make more of a fuss of winning things. Nothing over the top but some real credit wouldn't go a miss. It's a little depressing when you've gone through a long season, put in a lot of hours, nipped your rivals to the title and all you get is a quick splash page and a message from your board saying, "They are delighted at winning the league"

6) Better agents. More approaches from agents and more interference. If your a lower league team with a talented youngster it would be interesting for his agent to put pressure on him / you to move. Agents could drop hints to the media etc.

7) Regens to be better balanced. Better people than I have covered this on the forum.

8) Player memories / relationships. I'm no expert on programming but if you could get this into the game it would open up a world of possibilities. If you dropped a key player for a cup final he should remember it and based on his mental stats he would react to it in different ways. If you got thumped 5-0 at home next time you play that team it would be cool if your players recalled that hurt and again dependant on stats would react to that memory in a certain way. Example would be Crespo with a comment like "Wants revenge for Cup Final defeat against Liverpool"

I would like to see :
- more consistancy in performances , seems results are too random , eg testing the same match without changing anything gets a hugely different score
- constantly opposition players defying there stats , the way some of these players strike the ball are like they have 20 for long shots and shoots with power , despite being a centre back with 10 for long shots.
- too many early goals , most goals happen in first 3 minutes , whatever happened to sides keeping it tight and working a goal
- better media interactions , things to make the manager feel appreciated eg some have mentioned lack of recognition despite 20+ years in job
- more realistic transfer market where poorer players or uneeded players can be picked up cheaper than now , also the AI actually offering realistic bids.
