Your standpoint on FIFA...

[Hydde]

About the off the ball... it seems to good to be true,,, but i have noticed that once a player start to do that maneuevr, and make the pas....it seems impossible to intercept, and that could end in a goal fest.

I have an XBOX, FIFA 2004 will definitely be better than FIFA 2003. Well, at least I am hoping it is. I am putting $50 on that assumption. I will be waiting outside the store the morning of October the 28th. Although I am a critic of the folks at EA’s FIFA (based out of Canada) I have faith in their product. Besides, what other soccer title is out ther for XBOX. ESPN’s soccer title game was perplexingly bad in regards to authenticity (wrong names and uniforms?). But I guess they did not have the legal rights to FIFA teams and players. FIFA 2004 does not have any competition on the XBOX; at least none that I have played.

espn's soccer was actually winning eleven 5

Actually I was talking about ESPN's Extratime for the XBOX. It came out before FIFA 2003, and even before 2002 FIFA World Cup. The only teams that had correct uniforms and player names were those from MLS. I am going to have to play winning eleven someday. Everyone talks about it… must be good.

 

[valioso]

i know what game you are talking about.. and it was the winning eleven 5 engine with the mls teams.. I had that game as well.

 

[Brett]

I see what you are saying. That is interesting to know. But why were uniforms and names so wrong for other clubs (including national teams)? Was this a problem that resulted from not having legal rights? And your personal opinion… do you prefer wining eleven over FIFA?

 

[valioso]

winning eleven doesnt have the licenses..

about preference.. right now winning eleven is the better game, and I am hoping to be surprised by fifa 2004

Thanks for your response; this is my first time in this forum. It is nice to communicate with knowledgeable persons as yourself. Oh, and I am also hoping FIFA 2004 lives up to our expectations. FIFA 2003 certainly lacked some critical elements, hopefully the folks at EA have worked them out.
