FIFA 2004 Wishlist

A better season mode

A season mode that makes you feel like a real manager. Not just playing games in season. Transfer markets? Not just giving your player to a club and taking the money from them! And you have to put bids in for players, so it rewarding when you buy them.

Come up with a whole new PENALTY mode! 2003 penalties are the worst i have seen in a game of football in a long time. And make it a lot more exciting! Penalties are the most exciting part of a football game. Much more than just a way of deciding a winner.

I thought of the following idea one day and thought it was brilliant... i hope you agree!! Immediately after a player scores a goal, it would be amazing if you could press different button combinations to choose your celebration! Or even just a celebration for each button on the joypad.

Bring back features from 2001 such as in game formation changing by pressing "select" on the ps2 joypad. Also playing offside traps on the press of a button.

Sorry to say it but im sick of motty. Maybe thats just my opinion.

Good luck for 2004. Your all doing a great job. I love you.

I got some wishes:
1) Make it exactly like Winning Eleven.

2) Stop getting progressively worse every year.

3) Don't suck.

Nothing New Should Be Added

Get The Indoor Stadium BACK !
Fouls for Handball
Able to score more easily from free kicks
When simulating games , much more stats should be available apart from the score line such as bookings , goals , injuries etc.

 

[AhmedK]

Yes dhruv we do need an indoor stadium its was very fun playing in sappora dome stadium. Myabe some cinematics from inside the tunnel that would be great.


BTW i still havent gotten 2003 do they still limit the celebrations to "important"goals or is it every single one now????
Also is the music classical or is it back to that other crap the classical music really made the goals seem important.

I've seen people post some really useless things like the ability to choose boots for every player
Anyway, I think the player control isn't all that realistic as people make it out. It's very difficult to control the players, plus sometimes i get players running stright for about 4 seconds while i'm pressing another direction button. The player control in WC was better IMHO.
The heading must be dealt with.
You guys have lessened the driblings from FIFA 98 RTWC onwards. Now, only players like Zidane can do tricks, while the others just push the ball forward. Zidane can do just about any trick. FFS, i can do more tricks IRL than any player in FIFA 2003. That's not realistic.
The passing sistem is quite bad IMO. First, no ball curling.
No 1-2 passes. Sometimes i pass to a player, the ball is rolling 30 cm to his left, but he doesn't get control of the ball, he just keeps running. Same for lobs.
I could do some beautiful passes in WC. Now, nothing.
The GKs are a lot better, but still they charge when i don't press W and that's not good.
So, in conclusion, player control, dribblings, passing, curling the ball from open play(passes shots and lobs), and also give us more control when shooting. Kind of like FIFA 99 combined with WC 2002.

 

[Mauro DeLa Vega]

--I think the gameplay is pretty good already. The heading obviously needs some work, but just defensively (not the same button as the keeper) and when unmarked.

--Some more generic tricks for all players and a real reflection of playerstats in-game. I don't want to be able to catch up Owen with Hierro.

--Maybe some more control when shooting, and of course with curve.
The passing is great I think, you can do 1-2's, through balls, one-time passing, everything. The only thing missing is good high passes as the lobbed pass is too slow and before you receive the ball you have a defender glued to you ass.

--A decent CC.

--Better customisation of controls, and support for configuring multiple (different) gamepads.

--Bring back the free cam in replays and the zoom/height control of in-game cameras.

--And most important Don't take out stuff that we like!

I want Indoor socce back just like in fifa 1997

 

[Tommy_ManU_Rule]

Things about ur requests

Handballs. When i was playing the demo beckham was in the box and the ball got kicked right into him when he was defending. A penalty was called and it looked like in the auto replay that it hit his arm.

I think we should get back training mode.

When i played the PS2 version it worked for headers!

 

[F-side]

IMO the Fifa people should stopping watching english premier league for inspiration.Start watching teams like Valencia and Real madrid and notice how real tactical,short pass,and technical football is played.Unlike the fast and messy english play (maybe just not man-u and arsenal).Im not trying to dis english football,but i am trying to say the spanish teams play more beautifull football.Fifa just always strikes me as a ****ed up premier league simulation.Am i the only one who thinks that?

This thread is all about our wishes for the next FIFA. So what`s wrong if some of us asking for a better player appereance editing feature ???? If EA wants to rule the soccer gaming world, they should start listen to their customer. We want good gameplay, we want to be able to edit stuff as easily as possible, training mode and it`s their obligation to fulfill it since we pay them our money for the game.
So if you want the gameplay to be improved then just say it, but please don`t talk trash about other people`s whises. If you read my post in FIFA 2002 forums, then you`ll see that I`m asking for better gameplay, cos` we can edit easily in FIFA 2002. Now in FIFA 2003 we can`t edit easily,but a better gameplay, so I want them both in FIFA 2004, what`s wrong with that ?????

FIFA 2004 wishlist



Firstly!!

More cinematics in the game (like NBA Live 2003)
example:

- coach give the instruction to the players (when he wants make
subs
-substitution cinematics
-the squad (coach subs player and others) very happy when a
goal scored!!
- the crowd not too excited!!

2) Formation can be edit by click and drag
(like Total Club Manager 2003) i thinks it is better!!

3)Captaincy can be change easily!!

4) More players use thier own boots and favourite foot

5)More offical stadiums

6)Buy-Sell player process more realistic -bid the players NOT just buy him easily!!
(like star premier league 2001)

7) Header can be made when no CPU player challenge to get the ball

8)The Player NOT TOO DARK!! (like Ryan Giggs!!)

9) No need good graphic card just for the players number and name at the back

10) player can diving in the penalty box (like fifa 99)

11) if the keeper doesn't kick after he catch the ball for 8 second free kick will be given (fifa98 road to wc)

12)handball!!

Better Transfer system!!!

Career Play!

Players improving with practice and age. (Old players getting worse with age).

 

[breamster]

1. Better out of play cinematics, for example, subs, and manager interactions, like in NHL.

2. Handball is a big YES

3. International play during season mode, whilst playing as a league team you can choose to play as an international as well. ability to call up players?

4. better linesman - they always point without the use of the flag!

5. more real refs, not jus in cc mode. (ginger boy is annoying!)

6. more statistics popups for players in game. (like NHL)

7. desent from players - resulting in yellow cards, etc.

8. more difference with speedy players - can out sprint defenders to get to lobbed balls up field

9. bring keepers up for corners more and more are doing it these days

 

[Chill]

bring back training mode.

a creation centre for consoles (could even be an ad-on disc you buy separately)

free cam in replays like zoom in-out, up down, left right.

better long passing (lobs)

able to change free kick taker, penalty taker when you have one like you pause the game and change the man taking it like in pes.

DO NOT DO HANDBALLS WHATEVER YOU DO IT WILL SPOIL IT AND BE FRAUSTRAING, TRUST ME ITS A BIG NO,NO

better tornament (official)

i think heading is brilliant but maybe be able to do power of it somehow????

i think the players are too stocky, but otherwise the graphics are fantastic

able to do low hard shots along the floor and for gad sake sort out the shooting animation!! it is so unrealistic.

change left foot or right foot, and actually have them be better with their left/right foot not just kick with both equally hard

more formations

dont have keeper charge the same button as header

corners more rewarding like they should be, it is impossible to score from corners due to the heading being to slow and not powerful

better defence AI

if a player is badly injered some sportsmanship would be nice like kicking out of play, or even just the ref stop the game.
stretchers on the pitch???? (not sure about that one)

make the highlights after gama better by using better angles or more of the actual shot not just in some of them seeing the ball being in air after a save but not seeing the actual save.

if players are faster, MAKE THEM FASTER i dont like having blanc catching up to owen

extra stuff like golden goal match and penalty kick match

more foul, shoot, run and keeper animations

weather option (snow) with orange ball

realistic stuff like maybe very rarely games being called off or player retirement, unavailable players like an injury in traing or something, or an international game so your player is unavailable

being able to change captain

menu is too slow





I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE I AM ONE OF THOSE FIFA HATERS PIONTING OUT ALL THE BAD THING ABOUT THE GAME BUT THAT IS WHAT THIS FORUM IS FOR.

BTW THIS THE BEST EVER FIFA BY MILES AND I REALLY ENJOY PLAYING IT

WELL DONE EA AND KEEP IT UP, (NOW THAT YOU ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION)

 

[RamsFanAndy]

Firstly i would like to say the multiplayer element to this year's fifa is outstanding except for the 'out of sync' messages that constantly interrupt play. Now...

How about this for an idea... BUILD YOUR OWN STADIUM !!

Rather than EA do all the work on this one, i think it'd be great if WE could design more stadiums for the other major league teams, they could even give you the chance to create new stadium for your own custom teams & leagues !! This would be a great feature as you can really benefit from playing home games and seasons would be much more realistic !

You could start with a basic model (like the 2 already in this year's game) and then add to it more (or less) tiers, pitch size + condition, dugouts, banners + signs, with or without running track, even seasonal weather conditions etc !!

many other games have a build your own... section so why not fifa??

Also, i know someone mentioned it earler but, i'd love to see the champions league introduced...and your team must qualify to enter etc. and yes get rid of the made up tournaments !!

and finally...what happened to the ability to curl shots + passes, and zooming in/out with cameras ?? I would like to be able to bend a cheeky lob passed the goalie from a corner kick as sometimes happens in real life.

Keep up the good work !
regards,
Rams

PS: please redesign the game's menus system. they have always been awful but they're getting worse !! why, for instance, can i not use my (cordless) gamepad to navigate the game's menu system like the console versions !?!? and there are too many message boxes that flash up saying are you sure, or click OK to continue etc !!!

 

[TheDarkKnight87]

HansRaul007 I understand what you're saying. But, if EA implement the small things first and leave out the more important stuff(because you have to admit that gameplay is more important than choosing boot colours) you'll get a ****tier game.
I'd like to add a few points to my wishlist:
Better tactic management. I can't play 3-4-3. This is unrealistic. Bring back FIFA 99 tactics.
Better reaserch. For example: Chivu in the game has 56. He is one of the best defenders out there. As said by Florentino Perez of Real Madrid. Read the reviews on uefa.com. The reviews about Ajax's matches always praise Chivu(when he's playing). This is top football. A player that performs great in the Champions League has 56? Impossible.

 

[Jazzer]

Wishlist

My FIFA 2004 wishlist:

- Air pass system from WC2002 or FIFA2002

- More realistic goalkeepers (I don't know but maybe FIFA2002 gk's act more realistic)

- Goalkeepers do some great saves but no all of them, and not always.

- I've been asking for this since '98 and I WANT GOALKEEPERS WEARING LONG PANTS

- Introduce STYLE of gameplay 'cause not every team plays as if ti were a dutch or english team.

- Fix things like rebounds from the bar, that's the WORST thing in the game.

- Fix the field texture, it looks like green plastic, WC textures were simply great and you didn't even need an nVIDIA videocard.

I can't think in other things right now but if it comes I'll tell you

 

[Savo]

How about .. Putting Yugo in the game
