To me game makers have tried hard but they have not created a great soccer vedio game. A great soccer vedio game should have three special parts to it. Number one; the superstar mode should be better and harder and a more fun. First of all at the begining you should be given the choice to have a special talent. Ever great player has some thing special about them that god gave them. Like great speed or great size; other skill you can get but there should be like 3 thing that you have a choice to get from the start. There should also be a choice on what type of backround you want to come from for ex. poor class; middle class or rich class and what country you want to come from. This game should be a free roaming game and have the most site; basically every where in the world should be in this game. I know that sounds crazy and hard but many places look the same. You just have to create three place beside stadiums of course. They can create a neiborhood for the poor class which i have live so i know most of these hoods no matter where you are in the world look alike. So you just make minor changes depending on the contenent. You make a middle class place and you make a rich class place. Now there should be a benifit coming from all; Low class places you should have passion<which by the way should be a rating> for the game and your fatigue should be high also but your ability to perfrom under pressure should be low. If you had a poor up bringing you would know why i said those things. but yeah so the story should be diffrent in each place. Some how you get decover and landed on a club in your country and from there you work your way up to the Euro leauges or the MLS. To moniter your success you be a 5 star bar. 0 stars means no one important or out of your town knows who you are; you should be zero star for a long time. 1 star means town hero. There should be a diffrence in the way your free roaming experience is from zero to one star and on and on. 2 star means perfessional club superstar which is what most good players are. 3 star is country hero/superstar which mean you have to be on the country's national team and you have to be the best on the team or one of the best. 3 star would be like a Donavon for the USA; 4 stars is a world superstar/country icon have to be balling both for your country and for a great club team and be the best on the both teams. this is what a Eto; Messi; all the great players you can thing of is. Finally 5 star is Soccer/football icon which to get you have to win a campoinship in both the world cup; and Euro leauge or just mutiply world cup. No amount of stats can make you a world icon only winning. and there should be Country CUps to like the african cup of nations but those can only make you Country ICons. Superstar should be haaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrd. Your player superstar should get better in two way your player should improve; naturally in terms of speed and strenght and awareness. but then you should be able to get thing like dribbling, shooting, and all those other things up. but Bottomline is that if you really delicate your time to getting better your rating can be at 99 by age 22 like messi but most players that do superstar should never even get to 80. that's how hard the game should be like you should have to train like a hour to get your shoot power up one point and that should be the same with all other rating. Speed you should not be able to get up unless you lose weight. speed and other god given talent should work like this from 12 which should be the starting age to 28 barden any injure your speed should go up by 20 points. So for your speed to be 99, it have to use a large portion your starting points on your speed meaning god gifted you with. Now that is just superstar i think it should all be part of the game but you can make a game just for superstar but my point is soccer is the greatest game on earth; you should be able to create the greats vedio game on earth with the sport. I have to write another one for coach and owner mode. and gameplay.
