After Euro 2004... update your FIFA 2005 General Requests Here!

[dipbhattacharya]

somebody plz tell me.....................

why?why?why?...............EA take away the "Long-sleeve" option?????????????

It is the most realistic Ea could offer to me............

 

[dipbhattacharya]

and also tell me............why they remove the 1-2 pass button??????????

 

[peteukusa]

I'm sorry if someone has mentioned this before, but I would like to see players going down or holding there stomach if they get smacked with a blazing shot from say Roy Keane. In Fifa 2004 they just stand there like nothing has happened.

Don't get me wrong though, I love the Fifa series.

 

[Armageddon]

Haven't read the whole thread or got Euro 2004, but they definately need to improve the menus, they're awful in FIFA 2004.

You can still do it by passing pressing L1 towards the player who just passed the ball and pass back to him with normal or through pass. I think this system is better anyways.

 

[taxman]

I have 2 requests, both concerning offsides:
- the offsides should be given when the passer passes and not when the reciever recieves.
- eliminate offside replays, or at least make them optional.

 

[turnandcough]

somebody may have already suggested this (i couldnt be bothered to read all the requests) but i think they should introduce a quick free kick option...
for example, when u get fouled, just hold down L1(or whatever) and your player will make shapes to take a quick free kick..it would definitely improve the flow of the game.....not to brag(well, yes to brag) but i think thats a pretty damn good suggestion
agree???

 

[turnandcough]

oh yeah, i almost forgot......improve the gameplay too cos im sorry to say it but pro evo is just off the charts ahead of fifa in that department, which really is the essence of a football game.......and this is comin from a former fifa fanatic (ie me)
lets relive the glory days of 98 rtwc, right kids?

please sort the f***ing passing!!

every football game ive ever played seems to have unreliable passing, im not sure if its me or the game but it really pisses me off when i aim at a player the ball will go straight through that player thinking its going to another play in the same direction about 40 yards away even tho that player is blocked... and so many other times it doesnt go where u wanted it to,

why cant they just make it so when u press the pass button the person ur passing to lights up or something then when u let go it passes to them, that way it works normal if u just wanna tough pass quick but if u have more time and ur pissed off with unreliable passing u can hold it down see where its gonna go then if its wrong maybe use arrow keys or something to change it.

 

[Rochester Rhino]

I remember in the old fifa it had an arrow to where you were going to pass it, and if the man was covered tight the arrow was red, if he was wide open it was green and if he was being defended not so closely it was yellow. They should bring that back.

 

[valioso]

or maybe you should just pay attention to wether the guy is covered or not..

 

[nickclubman]

Well, I guess passing should require a certain amount of skill, to make the player think, which WILL lead up to rewardable play. Anyone who wants the pass to go directly to the player and nothing but, is quite simply...STUPID!!!

NK.

 

[Dansm]

no its not that. i can tell if someone is covered or not its just i try to pass it to someone whos not but then it goes to someone else, i havnt actually played fifa 2004 but ive played euro2004 and plenty of other soccer games and they are all the same. i dont think it should tell u who u should pass to thats part of what playing the game is, just when u choose the right person it should go there... and another thing... a few times when ive been in the box and tried to pass it to a player it took a really slow terrible shot... if im pressing pass obviously i want it to go to another player and obviously if the computer cant see a player where im aiming its obviously got it wrong and should either take no action or pass to the player cloest to where i was aiming. also the computer doesnt seem to realise i cant pass to someoen who i cant even see... so why would it even try? just a few simple things im sure fifa could manage to fix and would make such a huge difference to the game.

I didn't read the whole thread, just some posts. You all seem to ask for better gameplay, but I didn't really read much about how to improve it. here are my requests about gameplay:

1. Bring back the "make player run" option, it was really good to be able to make the receiver run forward so you can make a better through pass or just lob above the defenders

2. Fix the corners, the system it uses is a good idea, but more than half of the plays you can try are held by the keeper (and the ones that aren't are in a position where the keeper *should* go out and hold it, but taking him out manually just doesn't work).
I think there should be the option to use the system and be able to switch corner/FK "modes" just like in older FIFA's (you could use the "arrow mode", the "move player mode" and the "shoot/pass to spot mode"), so there should be these 3 old modes plus the current one.

3. Fix the marking from the defenders, it's dumb how the AI defenders can easily lose the marking of his man, specially in passes like L1 + through pass

4. Get dribbling back, it's stupid that you can't really dribble if not using those freestyle tricks

5. Include "without-ball movements", AI players should automatically move to a safe spot, mostly in midfield (as in real life), not just stay standing in a spot where it's easy to get the pass intercepted

6. Allow the players to move when the opponent is taking a corner, FK and throw-in. It's ridiculous that they can't freely move (except in throw-in's, where the player can move if you switch players),
this is specially frustrating on corners if it's played with 2 players on the same team, one player will control the marking defender, and the other will stay standing doing nothing

7. Make playing through the wings easier and in the middle harder, In real life it works that way, playing through the wings is always easier than through the middle, but in FIFA it doesn't realy make a difference (mostly because it lacks AI player movements, if 2 players play on the same team wing play really makes a difference)

8. Add some more randomness, this in order that plays and matches aren't always the same, with always the same goals, which results in repetitiveness

9. Add sprint usage when in off-the-ball mode, it's just stupid that you can't sprint run when in off-the-ball mode, which results in easily losing the ball (since you're focusing more on the receivers, rather than the player with the ball)


those are my gameplay requests, besides that there's my tactical requests:

1. Add more formations

2. Get IGM's back and allow in-game changing of IGM's

 

[redflower]

1.remove the "home/away auto switch". make an auto/manual switching player.
2.fifa2003 pre-match movie is one of the best
3.shorten down the delay time after the player get the passing/crossing ball,it takes too long time to wait for control the player in euro2004
4.improve the strength of shooting,passing,crossing
5.i think all players can have a emergency brake and stop the ball
6.the net,the grass
7.other players should move/run like a real player,bring them a good AI system
8.hate to use shift+arrow to dribble over a player everytime,a basic arrow key with sprint is better and often seen in a game. dont make the player lose the ball so easily.player's reaction should be faster
9.why almost every clear ball is out in euro2004???
10.first touch!!!

This Is Football 04 stuff hopefully in fifa 05

Hey

I recently played This Is Football 2004 and there were some things in there that really appealed to be and hopefully we can see in fifa 05 or future fifa releases.

1) Manager Involvement - When the team line up comes onto the screen the managers name is also on their, when you score goals and win games it sometimes cuts to the dugout and shows you the manager and his assistant and their reaction, there is also the ability to edit the manager in the game, looks name etc.

2) There are handballs

3) Fan Responses - When you score or lose/win it shows you a shot of the crowd and they are wearing replica shirts and hats and scarfs etc with the club logo etc on. The crowd detail is alot more than the crowd shots in fifa 04


4) Dive Button - The good old dive button is in this and makes for a laugh as you and the computer can dive looking for free kicks and pens as well as gettin booked for diving

5) Long and Short sleeves - You can set the players to wear the sleeves depending on the weather, when it rains and snows you see long sleeves


I am an avid fifa fan and im not bagging ea or anyone cos i know fifa 05 will be class but if we could tweak these little things into the games it would be pretty cool

cheers

does this game have licenses for all the top clubs and leagues?

 

[ntigers2004]

i think it is time ea started making 3d crowds during the gameplay that have real reactions like instead of jumping around when theri team is about to score they stand up and then start jumping around when they pull the shot off. i reckon this will up the atmoshperical point of viw and definitely improve the game by a mile

 

[fifaCCitiu.com]

three only thing...
1)Realism... every player are different... a player that play in 3rd division can have the max on velocity,accelleration but little tecnique...
2)more generic faces, i won't play with clones....
3)better ingame scene, new cinematics...
ps a coach on the ground....if is possible...
a thingbetter kit graphing
