I think everyone is failing to remember that there is more then one version of fifa04

[FIFALEAGUE.NET]

I thought the UK was just written in PAL format and the other in other formats.

If there two different games thats a new one on me and why would EA bother.

Think about all the A.I adjustments and stuff they would have to do.

Not likely is what i think, But possible i guess

Fifa in europe is alot better then fifa here in canada. The guy in which i buy my games from has his own EB Games store here in Canada and he was tellin me that he already had fifa 2004 and it kicked ass. But it was the english (english as in england) version. He has a PS2 from that region which allows him to only play games from that region including Fifa 04. If he was to put a game from england into a north american PS2 it would not work.

So seeing as how all of us how live in North america have a north american console we get the north american version. which when it comes to fifa really sucks.

Apparently his europian version looks, and plays better and has more options. And seeing as how soccer just ain't as big here in North america we get the so called "waterd down" version. Where as in europe they get the waterd down version of NHL or NFL cuz it's not as big there as it is here and we get the best possible version.

That's why you got to be careful when you read reviews because someone may be talkin about the game they played in europe and it may not apply to the game where you live.

Although i'm not sure if this just applies for console or if it also applies for the pc version.

I asked him if he thought it would be worth me ordering a PS2 from europe and then ordering the games for it he and he said that it would only be worth it if i was into europian sports games like soccer or cricket. but everything else your better off havin a north american version cuz the games are better here (supposedly)

Just thought i'd let you folks now what i found out today. I knew that you couldn't play a PS2 euro game in a ps2 north american console but i never thought the quality of the game was different but it apparently is.

Maybe we north americans can understand why the europian's seem to love it so much and the europian's can understand why we hate it so much.

bottom line - were gettin screwed in north amreica

Everything this guy says above is complete garbage. No one believe him.

everytime i buy fifa, the bottom of the box says, " Asia Pacific version, strictly no distribution in Europe, America and Japan" or something like that. I wonder why?

 

[musashi-007XL]

The only real technical difference that I can think of between the Euro version vs. the North American version is that "Football Fusion" option that coincides with TCM 2004 in Europe will probably be missing in the US and Canadian versions. Other than that it's the same game.

well since the game is made in vancouver....

omg, that has to be close to the funniest thing i heard all day. the other one was about this guy that walked into a bar, right..

'if you fall for that then your as dumb as you look, because when it comes to looking stupid you wrote the book'

geez mate, you have been taken for a ride and a half there. pretty god damn funny too i must say. no difference apart from the titles and what console it will work on... oh maybe the box art will be different.

and another thing, off topic but, 'europian' sports like cricket? errm? England sure did create it but they are just about the only european team who plays it internationally, but for the dutch i think.

If that was the truth then all of us would get what we wanted in North America like getting the Mexican League or something

yim87 : everytime i buy fifa, the bottom of the box says, " Asia Pacific version, strictly no distribution in Europe, America and Japan" or something like that. I wonder why?

The same sentence is shown on DVD movies : "For distribution only in ..." and that doesn´t mean that they made a different movie for each country/continent. Do they ?
