There’s plenty more out there of course but it’s all kind of the same information across the board. If there’s anything fresh you don’t think many people will have seen, add your links to the comments.

For those of you that haven’t heard about this community initiative before, here’s how it works.

1. Community ideas are collected on the FIFA Manager Forums in the Thread of Wishes.
2. The best 5 ideas are selected and the community then vote for the one they’d like developed for FIFA Manager the most.
3. The developers take the winning feature and implement it in to the next FIFA Manager game.

It’s that simple. Last years Your Feature campaign saw 11 community ideas make the game so the potential for change is pretty massive. A wonderful community driven feature this and we’re glad it’s back for another FIFA Manager game.

Round 1 is already open for business and you can vote here.

All you need to do is have an idea about FIFA and have an account Twitter, it’s that simple. Tag any ideas with the hashtag #WishFIFAWouldBe and you can guarantee that the idea will be recorded and passed on to the men who can shape the future of FIFA.

So pay SweetptachTV a visit and get yourselves up to speed on the Wish FIFA Would Be campaign and then let your imagination run wild.

The next installment of Back To The FIFA will be with you on Wednesday.

We’re incredibly pleased to announce that we’ll be heading off to EA Guildford on Monday 16th January to get some hands-on time with a not final FIFA Street build and we want to take your questions about EA’s rebooted street football offering with us.

Detailed FIFA Street information has been a little scarce recently and we’re sure everyone has their own pondering’s about FIFA Street and just how it’s shaping up. So, if you have a question about the gameplay, the new match types, the presentation, the arenas, game modes or anything else for that matter hit the comments and ask away.

Now, there will be some questions we can’t answer for obvious reasons, so there’s no point requesting player ratings or anything license related. Also this isn’t a guarantee that we’ll be able to answer every question you pose but we’ll certainly do our best.

You have until 10pm Saturday 14th January (UK time) to submit your FIFA Street Playtest questions and then we’ll be closing the comments to give ourselves time to collate the information for Monday.

If you wish to use Twitter to ask us a question about FIFA Street, tweet @FIFASoccerBlog and use the hashtag #FSBFIFAStreet

How you can win?

We’ve managed to acquire two sections of the FIFA 12 scarf to give-away to the FSB community so using the template below, get your entires in to the comments section of this post and you could be part of a FIFA 12 World Record:

Team You Support:

Message (140 characters max):

Scarf Colour:

**The two best entries will be selected by the FSB judging panel who’s decision is final. You have until 5pm UK time on Friday 4th November to submit your entry, good luck**

There will be other opportunities to grab a place on the FIFA 12 scarf though so it’s important you follow EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter or Facebook who will bring you details as more rounds open for your submissions.

A really nice initiative this and lets hope we can break the World Record (33 miles) with the power of FIFA.

We have just reset the leaderboard stats of a number of people who we have caught artificially boosting their records, including the No.1 ranked player on PS3 and the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked players on the Xbox 360.

They’re not ranked No. 1 and No. 2 anymore. They’re now ranked as low as it’s possible to get, as well as dropping back into Division 10. If we had a Division 11, just for them, that’s where we would have put them. If they try it again, we will take even more robust action.

Throughout the lifetime of FIFA 12, we will be monitoring game records and scrubbing cheats from the system every week. Anyone attempting to boost their accounts by manufacturing artificial wins – via any means – are easy for us to identify and will face a similar fate.

Moreover, if the means of doing so negatively and directly affect other people – such as using third-party tools to force disconnections – the perpetrators will receive immediate outright bans.

It’s great to see EA getting stuck into leaderboard wiping so early on and long may it continue, prefferably weekly, as stated.

Here’s the official FVPA announcement:

“FVPA are pleased to announce details regarding, [Xbox] FVPA Leagues Season 3: as you’ll notice we have changed the league names in honour of two outstanding Fifa Community sites, these guys work incredibly hard in providing the Fifa Community with the latest news, tips & tournaments, as well as been FVPA community partners, we also consider them as good friends and working together we can achieve many great things for the whole Fifa Community.” More details HERE

And here’s an official statement from FSB Senior Editors Dave and Tom:

Dave: “We’re really pleased to be linking up with the FVPA in an official capacity and sponsoring the Xbox 360 Championship league is hopefully just the start of things to come. We’ll be bringing you monthly updates on the league, courtesy of the FVPA so look out for more details soon”

Tom: “Having met the guys behind the FVPA a few times we were more than happy to get involved when asked. They’re  top guys and are all extremely passionate about the game and providing the best clubs experience.”

So if you like FIFA 12 and you like FIFA 12 Clubs then why not get involved and you could be the first winner of the FIFA Soccer Blog Xbox 360 Championship, an honour not to be taken lightly.

Time for some FIFA 12 Clubs then?
