i have to say, ea really does do a great job on graphics. they always improve in that area. the stadia are great.
I loved playing 2003, totally blew 2002 out of the water i hope 2004 does the same to 2003. EA is finally getting this soccer thing right. My only complaint is that they dont have teams from the America's, at least the top teams in Mexico, Columbia, and Argentina or perhaps the teams that participated in the Libertadores tournament.
im jw if online sports games are usually infested with cheats like other popular multiplayer games? and in general how is the cheating situation for mp games off of xbox or ps2?
wow, damn finally 2 things i've really wanted: a franchise mode and online capability [using PS2]! i may actually join the dark force this fall...
fifa 2004 info Groundbreaking Gameplay: A fine-tuned game engine, and new animations dramatically enhance the smoothness in player movement Groundbreaking gameplay should have nothing to do with Smoothness in player movement, its the games AI that counts. In WE6 the computer has scored some sweet goals against me and i have suffered some dramatic losses. I dont care how smooth FIFA 2004 runs i really doubt their ground breaking gameplay will come any close to Konamis Winning 11 series. Other than that the Franchise mode sounds sweet. Definately i wont buy this game as i feel that EA has ripped me off in their 99 and 00 games so i will just DL it from Kazaa..
same here. I already lost count on how much money i have wastes on fifa titles never truely being satisfied. Now that i have we6, i dont need any other soccer game.
Since moving to the UK I haven't had a chance to play the International Version of Winning Eleven 6, how does it compare to the Japanese versions (6, J-League, and Final Evolution?). We play an english patched version of the import 6FE alot here at work, and it's a big step above Pro Evolution Soccer 2, just wondering what version the US ended up getting...
Well, if it plays anything like FIFA 2003, I'm not gonna get it. They have some improvements to make. Ok, make that a lot of improvements.
fifa 2004 info Oh the memories.. I made one of the weakest Brazilian National teams ever by droping all the high profile players and calling up unkowns. Despite losing my first two home games at Maracana i managed to qualify to the WC with a last minute goal by Caio over Peru. The FIFA France 98 WC game was also very good and an improvement in gameplay, however they took out so many of the options from RTWC. After that it all went down hill IMO..
RTWC '98 was the best FIFA game EA ever made. Here's a small list of features from that game that are not in FIFA 2003: Zoom/Pan in replay Cut scenes that show player emotions Kit edit Player edit World Cup qualifying Weather choice Game time choice Player Call-ups More and better goal celebrations Custom League options I had what is still one of my most memorable matches on this game (N64 platform). Came from a 0-2 hafltime deficit to beat France in the W/C semis. GG by Romario. Won the final 6-0 over the Germans.
Hell yeah it was. The new fifa engine doesn't even compare to the 2001 format. It was so much better. Crosses were more efficient and league format was way better.
FIFA 2001 was the worst one ever in my opinion. FIFA 98 was crap too, it had some good options and all but the gameplay was classic suck. FIFA 200 was the first decent attempt at football, and I emphasis the word DECENT. Fifa 2003 was thier first good game, and I mean good - not great. I am looking forward to FIFA 2004 because if they keep making adjustments to what they have now it will be quality.
WE6 is a fun game - and I also picked up the World Tour Soccer game a while ago and that too I think is pretty good. I never picked up FIFA 2003 - I liked the creation center in 2002. But where EA screwed up was in a few bugs in the game + overall gameplay was pretty redundant. If you have FIFA 2002, ever notice how when you create a tournament, and you advance, the next round is never randomized? And the goal keeping is horrible. Basically if you play a top team, they can fire one in past you from the game-time kickoff spot. I swear if they put me in a "think-tank" to develop a football game, every-one of you would be very happy with the result. Heh heh, gameplay would be stellar and the features would be awesome. I also liked the whole "Player Pool" in FIFA 98. That was a great feature.
RTWC '98 was life changing for me since I really paid REALLY close attention to the World Cup for a long time and also let's just say I recently attended a Blur concert having never heard of them before that.
My personal favorite was FIFA 99. But really I can not stress this enough - play Winning Eleven for a few days and all you are going to say is FIFA who? It is very difficult at first but the soccer experience is recreated to "T". As I said in an earlier post the only thing they lack is the FIFA license which is a total shame.
I think they will have some kind of America's tournament, where teams from all over the Americas will be included.
