Idd. If you want the perfect game , grab a ball and go play soccer with maties.Though you need skills also to have fun

I play soccer as much as i can.But its winter now , instead of snow there is too many raining around here

y dnt u all focus on the gd stuff bout fifa not jst all the bad stuff. and the bad stuff u say is reely lame, its jst the slightest tings.

 

[dipbhattacharya]

1.Ppl who bring it home spending money and with hope...........has
every right to say his disappointment every time..............even if it is 1 billion times or more........

2. Those guys give suggestion " Do not play Fifa anymore and stop posting....." ..........here is my advice to them " Why u clever
guys read those posts?????????? u simply dont check those posts
and play the F***ing game like idiots every day".

No one is saying that EA should bring real Football...........but it is frustating to know..........when u cant add anything ........why
do u remove the good stuff.....

Here i think EA can easily do this stuff........if they at all thinks for
their customers..........

1.Players running like they are carrying a 9 month baby......dont u think it can be avoided?

2.CC vanished.............dont u think it can be avoided?

3.Net like still...............dont u think it can be avoided?

4.Skill move came down to 8 to 1 .....and it is impossible to perform.........whereas in Fifa2003.....it was ok and quite good...........they simply delete that......dont u think it can be avoided?

5.No replay saving............dont u think it can be avoided?

6.Poor highlights............dont u think it can be avoided?

7.No wing back,no offside button

8.And lot of stuff which EA could have easily put it as it is....

This time it has too far

here's my list of recomendations for EA to improve for next time:

1. International tournies (World Cup and Euro 2004...but if there's a way to do them that i missed let me know)

2. the menus are annoying and clumsy to use, i spend half my time navigating the menus. i wish they could be cleaned up

3. Having lower divisions is a great idea, but not at the expence of other leagues (Greek, Turkish, Hungarian, Russian, Mexican, ect...don't try to tell me the Swiss league is that much better than the Greek or Turkish ones). That might just be me, but I think it adds a ton of depth to the game.

4. In keeping with that, in old versions of FIFA I could make my fav. leagues, but not now since there's no creation centre or customisation deal. Maybe EA will make one available online, but cmon...CC is crucial

5. Deepen career mode, clarify it, and make transfers less complicated. I still can't figure out prestige points, maybe that's just me, but it seems like it could be more straight-forward

That said, I'm having alot of fun with FIFA, there's alot that's great with it, but these are just some things I'd like to see for next time

this game is horrible

 

[leoRIVER]

The game sucks big times ! ! ! After playing FIFA 2003 you would expect something better maybe not awhole lot but not what it has turned to.I played 2003 for so much its not even funny and I purchased 2004 2 days ago(Dec,24) and returned it today.So so dissapointed I just hope EA sports gets their shyt together and for 2005 have a beter game. I dont know why people get upset with what others say on here, after all its a message board,either you can read on post about the subject or you can move along.



PEACE.

 

[Dagoods]

THE PLAYERS ARE ALL TOO SLOW! I cannot stand it!

the other thing that really gets me mad, is the fact that MADDEN and NBA LIVE have creation centers, you can edit/create a player!

I THINK FIFA2005 NEEDS to have the creation center back ASAP.

Can you imagine if you can create guys like MARADONA, PELE, GARRINCHA, CRUYFF, PLATINI. and create a legends pool or a team. THAT'S total exicement!!!

 

[FIRE]

I'll have to agree. Overall I love FIFA, but '04 has been a really big disappointment to me. I thought it might have just been me that was frustrated with this game, but after 2003 I was really expecting more from FIFA.

The graphics are great, the sound is great, but the game play leaves a lot to be desired and is really disappointing.

I suppose if I keep playing it will get better, but its so damn frustrating....

 

[Mulder]

I dun really play much with FIFA 2004...I just play the friendly for mostly 2 to 3 matches>>>altho I can't said that I hate the game...but really is disappointing overall.. where's the referee and the linesman?? and I feel more comfortable when I keep taping the 'W' for sprint (like many previous FIFA version before)..rather holding the 'E' button for sprint..
However I really enjoy the great faces and all the realistic kits..stadium..and the atmosphere in the game

ironically..All that excited me is not the gameplay

FIFA series is just too inconsistent

1. The one who loves football, plays it all the time and gets home and just ones two play a more relaxing type, they dont (or atleast i dont) care what the gameplay is like as long as its great fun which'll last a while

2. Fat person who watches it on the t.v and thats there only real experience, they want to get as close to playing real footy as possible so they want fifa to be perfectly realistic. Lazy feckers

This is the most illogical post I've read this year. You've got it the wrong way round. People who like to play the game in real life want a realistic simulation to reflect what they enjoy in real life. People who never play the game and just couch out all the time aren't that bothered about gameplay because they have little correlation of the gameplay to real life situations.

I want to be able to play a game that reflects what happens in real life not some freaking fantasy game that is less like the real thing than the version that came out 6 years previously. FIFA 2004 may be a step on from FIFA 2003 but if I couldn't produce a game better than the one I made 6 years ago I'd fire my staff and hire some programmers who knew their ass from their elbow!

Oh, and Terminator X, before you come out with your all-encompassing "fat boy/lazy" comment, I run the 100m in 11.07, a mile in 4.53, 3 miles in 15.16 and play 12-15 hours of sports a week. You have to actually come up with a valid argument to support things you say, not rely on pathetic lame "fat/lazy" comments to back up your opinions!!!

PES3 is the answer to all this dont you agree Wolf ?

Yep bro, could say that but then they ban you for suggesting an alternative, lol!!!!!

Seriously though, PES fanboy as I am, I sincerely wish EA would come out with a difinitive soccer sim. I think everybody should give EA one last, last chance and if FIFA 2005 has stuff missing that is just plain dumb, still hasn't got it's crap together then people should leave it well alone. EA, I freaking love you for the Madden, NHL and Golf games but soccer, you really don't have it together.

I can understand that some people have fun with FIFA 2004 and I respect that and the fusion with CM2004 is a great idea, no doubt. The big prob is though, even with the hardcore EA fanboys, FIFA 98 still ranks as the best title gameplay title and 6 years later, that just ain't right.

Anybody who wants to come over to the light, you know where we are!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Barkman]

For me they just kill it off,
when there are no leagues to play .
just that freakin fantasy dynasty mode

FIFA 98 unlimited teams in a league to choose of
U could play all the games in a league, the English with
20 teams the Italy with 18 teams and so on.

Fifa 99 unlimited
Fifa 2000 8 teams
Fifa 2001 8 teams
Fifa 2002 1 team
Fifa 2003 8 team
Fifa 2004 1 team

So the question is FIFA 2005 0 teams?

 

[CODAVE]

Id say my big disappointments are:
-No Uefa Cup or Champ League in Tournament section
-No International tournament (World Cup etc)
-When finally in Chmp League the game puts 3 teams from same country in group...something which UEFA makes sure NOT to do. The reason I like Chmp League in the past is that its finally a chance to play teams outside of league..not this time Im afraid. COME ON EA!!!!!!!!

 

[Vinman]

I dont think EA did a very good job of QUALITY CONTROL before they sent this game out

Too many quirks,and the gameplay lacks realism. Did they not notice this before the release ???

Every year, the game is SUPPOSED to get better, not stay even, or get WORSE !!!!

[pnadeau]

Am I the only one that's getting increasingly PO'ed by the menus?

Those are the worst things ever...I spend half my time navigating through the darn things when I should be playing the game...the whole set up is a disaster, it's like they're trying to make it difficult to use
