FIFA 2004 Wishlist

[Gerrard 17]

If we want to 'achieve' anything, I think we should start now since there is no point in asking for things in March or April.

Before you post here:

- do not repeat something that's been already said 20 times
- be specific
- stay on topic
- keep it clean- no "EA You Suck" and things of that sort
- don't post just to say "That's a good idea"
- no requests for Teams, Leagues, etc.

Any posts that do not abide by those rules, will be deleted or edited by the mods.

more of the same

I think the current gameplay is fine ... just need the heading sorted out.

2003 has the best gameplay of any fifa yet. Much more intuitive and realistic ... much more like ISS ...

I'd like more tactics and customisation options.

** Formations **

In ISS you can edit and create custom formations.
Fifa 2003 has very few formations - you can't be very creative.

In sensible world of soccer you had almost ultimate flexibility in being able to create custom tactics.

** Extras **

More stadiums!

More leagues more international teams!

Is frustrating when only world cup years have all international teams in.

Ok the game might get large ... but why not distribute it on DVD rather than CD?

Fifa is very much a PC game IMHO ... ISS rules PS2, so why not concentrate on strengths of PC and X-BOX e.g. media and file storage capabilities.

It would be great if major european leagues [England, Italy, Spain and Ger had all the league grounds. ]

** Options **

Ability to choose stadiums, time of game.

Creation centre to have all options you can do in access ... especially kit numbers and captain assignation.

Ability to create more competitions [16 team limit is really annoying]. I really want to create a full FA- Cup ...

It is really annoying how some functionality is removed in later editions of Fifa ... you could choose stadiums in 98 ... not in 2003 ?

All current functionality should be maintained ...

NHL and Madden are much better in this respect.

wish list to fifa2004

I think the gameplay is better than Fifa 2002, but...

First, sorry for my english.

1)The gameplay; the header are not real. I' not talking about only of the dificulty of connect a head. The headers in real life are more powefull (not all), and in real match the head balls go over the bar and near the bar.
2)The cpu shots: in real match miss the target near the post, over the bar and go miles away too. In fifa 2003 the cpu shots miss his traget near the post or they are catch by keepers.
3) Freekicks: not near the box, the defensive kicks: it's not possible when you or the cpu are in your field. We want to know were go the ball, and the cpu alwas kick an stupid free kick to the users players and never shot a long and higher pass.
4) Fouls: more fouls, charge fouls, not only slide fouls.
5)Keepers: more interception in the corners catching the ball, not always punch the ball. The charge of the keepers are not real. The keepers in real life stop your charges and wait the action of the attackers to block the shot or to strip the ball.
Penaltys by the keepers but not with this unreal tackle of 2003, real penalty when th keepers try to strip the ball like the real life.
6) The defense: more realistic defense. Sometimes the cpu players and user players follow your mark and ups!! they run away to the center of the field or somewhere. More real and better defense. Near the box the real defenders mark your oponents and wait the actions of the attackers. Real defenses and movements of defense and keepers.
7)Real dribble. It's good but when your sprint near the box to shot, the player loose a long time to shot.
8)Real atributes for players.
9)Better definitions of shirts.
10) A real creation center. Tha actual creation center is worst FCDB 2002.I don't understand this.

11) A real football match. Fifa 2003 are much better but EA can make the perfect game.

bye

*****Gameplay*****

-Fix the Heading, make it simple and intuitive, they started right in WC 2002 but then....

-Keep improving the passing, its great what you've done so far

-Expand the pitch a little bit more

-Reconfigure controls to what they were before, please

-harder to score goals please

-MORE TACTICS, like ISS


****AI******

-Smarter, more natural Goalies

-Better differentiation between Big team/Small team

-Better tackling and controlled player reactions

-No more defensive bugs, where defenders run AWAY from the ball rather than TO the ball

- More tactical play from the AI...not just up the middle and goal kinds of things,

-Better balance between the difficulty levels

****Graphics******

-No more arms going thru legs and that sort of stuff

-Stadium number is fine as long as the Day/Night/Weather options are re-introduced (Snow please!!!)

-Season play should be accordingly. Ex. Winter weather in Europe, Night games for champions League

*******Options/Miscellaneous********

-In FIFA 98 sometimes players could get ramdonly injured doing other things, more injuries during season gameplay

-International Call ups!!!

-Performance trackers similar to Madden/NHL ad NBA games.

-More intuitive players

-expanded options for season/customizations (Ex. Player retirements, injuries, trade offers depending on performance and such...like madden)

-Include Holland please!!! fix the licensing issue

-More international Sides, better kits for those....

-Include an in-game CC, the current one is too cumbersome

-More editing (Numbers, accessories, fonts, all of that...)


****Things to keep*****

-In game flares
-Free Kick system
-overall gameplay structure
-Kit selection before matches
-Club Championship
-Overall Sound (chants, commentary)


ok...done

Authenticity:
Be more authentic. Do not include unrealistic things in FIFA like Club Championship mode, ladder tournament, world tour, those things do not exist therefore they should not be included in the game. There must be inluded a creation center with which willing people would be able to create any tournament they like. But otherwise make a system like in FIFA 2002 where you play real existing tournaments to unlock more real exising ones.

Gameplay:
Keep the gameplay, just fix the inability of defenders to sprint back, they always get outrun by forwards.

Teams:
Expand the Rest Of The World section it should inlclude all the teams that participate in the Champions League and Uefa Cup but are not in the leagues included in the game (like Dynamo Kiev-random example

Licencing:
Get the Champions League licence and put the limelight on it. Instead of non existing Club Championship mode.

Miscellaneous
Make the game more random but dont over do it so. You hardly ever hear the coach scream in the game (but him screaming every 2 seconds would be awful too). Some stuff that would be nice to come up very rarely around every 80-70 games like a steaker running on the field, or the referee getting subbed for injury reasons.

Music:
Footy music please no more girls whining abiut being frustrated.

Well I Play on a PS2, these are just a few things which i think could be improved upon.

I miss being able to edit player numbers, and the clubs kit, as you could in Fifa 98 and so forth.

Being able to curl the ball would be nice in open play.

Heading MUST be improved.

The keepers seem to idiotically charge out when you approach them, and its far too easy to score past them.

Generally your defence tends to make random runs towards midfield, its hard to make up the ground as an attacker makes a run, and it doesn't help when your centre backs make runs all over the place.

I do miss the training mode, on former versions it helped to work on set pieces and stuff.

I would like to see Diving back in the game, it added a sense of realism.

I'm sure there are more, but there are a lot of good features in this game, the game play is good, and i love the free kicks and corners.

Dear easports for fifa2004 i want:
- all the stadiums of euro2004;
- game and comentaries in portuguese from portugal!!!
Thank you ea

 

[Punkt]

white-fighter dont'worry because next year ea will make the euro2004 game and will have all portuguese stadiums


CC sucks



Benfica the best :rockman

 

[jeefstn]

Qualifying starts in 2004, so I think that International selection should be put back in...and the menus and team management should go back to the way it was in RTWC98...

Plus I would like to see stats for
1. Shots
2. Shots on goal
3. Assists
4. Saves
5. Shutouts
6. Fouls
and probably more...

 

[drjohnnyboy]

1. More keeper animations. It is rediculous how he knocks long shots out of play that would normally would be caught.

2.Curling the ball in open play is a must

3.Ball selection in all console versions

4.More profound freestyle button

5.Handballs

6.Snow option as well

7.better ability to take low hard shots at the net!!!!!

 

[terraera2]

ONLINE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS2

PS2 ONLINE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get what he's saying though. Sometimes you can't get your subs in. For example, my previous game against Newcastle, I played to sub Heskey in the 70th minute. However, he never got in because the ball never went out.

 

[Gerrard 17]

but thats whats real football is like...

u cant sub in any time you want, only when the ball isnt played i.e. free kicks, goal kicks, throw ins, etc.

 

[Hans]

I want the in-game editor for changing player`s appereance back, the training mode, Holland, accurate foot settings not only for the EPL players but for all the league, a much more fair judgement for south-American players rating ( Kaka = 68 ?????? ), and last but not least the free-cam during replays . And oh yeah, a much improved but smaller-sized CC.

 

[AhmedK]

Yes Kader what i meant is being able to sub during free kicks,penaltys, whenever the ball is played.


I might be mistaken but in wc2002 and 2003 you cant sub until the ball is out but your sub wont come in when there is a free kick.


Myabe you should become smart like joe

PORTUGUESE LEAGUE

 

[D. Neale]

since i'm new to the pc version of FIFA, i'm just learning about all the editing options i can access. i'm willing to see what i can fix myself before griping about some of the flaws/oversights in gameplay.

but there simply must be a way to provide better, deeper options for formations and tactics. no 3-4-3? no way to assign wing/flank duties to my outside defenders?

i love the IGM system of yore. i added an aspect of realism to the game, especially with the different options for defense and possession. attack and neutral just don't cut it and you can't adjust it on the fly.

camera zoom! essential.

fix the heading, especially on crosses and free kicks into the area.

i'm sure i'll think of more stuff later.
