Re: Fifa 2004
whenever a new fifa game is comes out it has a 'brand new system' that makes it better than the previous year's version, but it doesn't and you'll just be paying 40 quid to some guy who went through the game and edited the team rosters

Re: Fifa 2004
i remember hitting enter and watching a dude run twenty yards offside and then asking for the ball (but since the referees are blind it doesnt really matter)

Re: Fifa 2004
lol - i actually laughed out loud and got a couple of funny looks.
also the camera seemed to stutter.
my goalies ran halfway up the field for no particular reason at all.
tackling was terrible, the advantage was never played when you were on through with another player

Re: Fifa 2004
No camera angle problems
No goalies running halfway up the field for no particular reason at all.
No tackling problems
etc...
Although I agree that the commentary is appaling, easy solution is to just turn it off ofc. The player names don't really bother me that much tbh.

Play striker on the SNES. It has real names (from 1992) and you can edit them!

Re: Fifa 2004
i always went brazil and my brother always went argentina. It was merely a question of gomez vs capitale.
Gomez guarenteed 2 or 3 wondergoals a game, capitale was pretty much a sure bet for a goal from any corner

Re: Fifa 2004

Me and a friend back at home for the last year played it every monday
Battle course 4
First to ten victories wins
Each "game" won, gets you a "point"
Ten points wins a set.
I won the first set 10-6, currently im leading 7-5 in the second
Thats.. a hell of a lot of mariokart

Re: Fifa 2004
ive only one that cup once but it was probably the pinnacle of my computer gaming life
Even better, i taped it. Damn that cup was hard, the first race was just killer. I was ecstatic if i finished fourth in three attempts

Re: Fifa 2004
The first course was by far the worst; the ghost valley was a good track though.
We also did Mushroom 150cc, so there was less computer player interference.

except for the fact that all you had to do to score (outdoors) was run straight towards the goal, pick the right point inside the semi-circle on the edge of the box, press shoot and watch it loop over the keeper every time. Or indoors, hit just inside one of the posts, straight down from when your keeper gives it to you, and you score again.

This is true, however, you seen learned to play as the keeper yourself, and thus prevent those exceedingly shit goals going in all the time.
In regards to football games, I never did see the fascination with Sensible Soccer, infact, in my opinion, it was shit.

PES 3 pisses on Fifa like never before. The pinnacle of Console Football Games.
EA Milking a license for all its worth instead of producing a top quality game.

Re: Fifa 2004
Why would you care if a game had real player names
edit: olympic soccer on the PSX is probably the best post-sensi football game, although that bizarro adidas soccer thing was also good (as was PUMA world football)
Fifa has always sucked

Re: Fifa 2004
Sensible Soccer on the Amiga was probably the best football game ever on anything , and I've been playing computer football games since they were pong with an extra bat.
Currently I'm playing PES3, trying to get the damn superstar teams on which must be hidden in there somewhere. If you've experienced the control/gameplay of the PES series (going back to ISS Deluxe), you can never find FIFA acceptable. It has the team/player license (which shouldn't be exclusive to one game) but very little else to recommend it (and you can get an addon disc to change all the player names in PES3 if that sort of thing is so important to you)

I really dont see the fascination with Sensible Soccer. I realise it was supposed to be mindless and fun and stuff, but banging in goals endlessly from around the halfway line was dull as ****. Maybe I'm missing something, anybody care to explain what exactly they see in sensible soccer.
ps. Tatio Football 93 or whatever in the arcades was a winner too.

Don't buy Fifa 2004. The gravity is almost 5% out from reality - what are we to believe they play in some 'magic' place where balls fall slower than normal?

Re: Fifa 2004
PES3 has alot more correct names this time around, and also the commentry has been vastly improved with things like
Player names in commenty :"Henry, to bergkamp"
better sayings: "Oh is it a penalty, NO! its just outside the box, but with the players in this team its almost like a penalty" {or something similar}
They even argue witht herefs decisions.
Also its more realistic than ever, which makes it good (tho its way harder than PES2).
You really feel proud when you score a goal to clinch the game.
Also I heard that after a few days of FIFA 2004's release sum guy had made a patch to make realism better, improved ball physics etc. So WTF were FIFA doing all this time? It seems they care more to get the players face just looking right than improving gameplay.
I am a PES fan tho, always have been. Only owned one FIFA game, but played most of them, still prefer PES & ISS.
BASICALLY IF U LIKE FIFA GAMES GET FIFA, IF U LIKE PES GET PES. IF YOU DON'T KNOW RENT THEM AND DECIDE

Re: Fifa 2004
the one where you can only run in a straight line... the one where you have to be about 6 yards out to score a goal at full pelt, and the one where the keepers are forever suspended in the air when diving to save a shot?
