u still didn't play FIFA 2k4...it's been a long time since a fifa edition don't get 5/5...it did here in Brazil and believe me: we are the WE land...everybody here loves it, including mags and game sites...and yes...ok, watch a footy mach and tell me if players move so lightly as in PES…NO!! they don’t…PES, honestly speaking…offers u control over players and players alone, coz it is damn easy to dribble…that’s why people love PES and talk about its ‘gameplay’…c’mon…u don’t see some of moves executed in PES so easily in real life…I’m talking from a point of view of a fifa 2k4 reality already…I hated 2k3…everything on it was so predictable or disonest…coz the CPU always had a last trick in the sleeve to beat u…but its not like that in 2k4, I guarantee…and I only played the demo…u know, FIFA fans are even more honest than PES and they hated other versions…but 2k4…no, it’s not like that…
About the goals scored exactly the same…no way, too…I was able to score (in the demo) many different ways, and some of those ways are similar to the ways u can score in PES…something that didn’t happen in FIFA 2k3…another ‘special’ thing from PES…u can never score PES goals with 2k3…but u can in 2k4!! I even could score a goal with Schevchenko heading…it was really nice, specially coz I did it with the keyboard…And the cpu can score u in a biiig number of mastered ways…Del Piero and Nedved really punished me…everytime the ball got to them they shot a different kind of mastered kick, really nice…I remember a goal that Trezeguet scored against me…Nedved confused my defense with a very nice play, attracting all my defenders and he made Trezeguet to stand alone and just tap in (strongly) against my goal…very cool, indeed.
I think FIFA 2k4 is closer to reality, coz it gathers more in-field factors, realistic factors…and that’s coming from a real WE fan…I really loved it and I was eagerly expecting PES 3 (WE 7)…believe me, I couldn’t play fifa 2k4 yet, but when I do it…my believes will be even more assured. I know it…man I play videogame since my 5, I can tell when a game it’s gonna be good from the pics…almost no mistake about it…heehhe 90% sure most of times…and it was like that with fifa, since the first videos…
Open ur mind and play it without considering it’s a EA’s product…close ur eyes and ur ears when EA’s logo appear and the ‘It’s in the game’ slogan is told…then play it…and then, tell me…
