Does anyone know if FIFA 2003 will be analogue based direction (like WC2002) or digital (like PES)?
I hope that in EA's quest to please PES fans doesn't result in scrapping the analogue capabilities of the PS2 for the 8 directions of movement of ISS. There is nothing I hate more about PES than the limitations placed on what you can do by the digital direction pad- FIFA 2002 and WC 2002 were amazing inovations in computer football because of the freedom you had when controlling your players.
Sport is an analogue business, and any attempt to digitise player movement is for the worse.
I know I'm in the minority when I support EA's last two instalments of FIFA, but I know that despite their flaws, the gameplay once the options have been customised (camera, game speed, power-up speed etc..) is beyong anything ISS has ever accomplished. Not only this, but also the fact that there is NO through ball button; you have to do it yourself- put the man on a run, then play the perfect ball BY YOURSELF. I can't stress how important that is to FIFA, and none of you so-called 'hardcore' football PES fans ever got the hang of that. FIFA went right above many heads- that isn't EA's fault.
Please let me know what your views are.
Cheers
