View Full Version : FIFA 2004 Wishlist
grimph 05-01-2003, 10:58:PM I do agree with the idea above and I add that "tighter marking" should concern the defenders and the defensive midfielders only, to keep the gameplay realistic and playable. It would be a major improvement toward simulation.
i would also like to see tighter marking and more 50-50 challenges that result in random deflections and loss of possession.
Yes, that's exactly what i want, but EA did apsolutely other thing... And that's why i don't like to play that game cause i know that i will always have 62-38 (or more) ball possession and, of course win match, and of course on world class difficulty.
americangreg 06-01-2003, 12:17:AM FIX THE ONLINE MATCHUP!!
It's really getting frustrated that, when someone is losing, he just can quit the match. That doesn't count as a loss for him. Nor with the restart match option, or with the exit to windows option you lose the points if you quit. It's really annoying, because if, for example, you score an early goal, your opponent immediatly restarts the match.
- So delete the restart match button for online games
- Make exiting a game count as a loss

i'm in general agreement here. however, i think the possession play is pretty realistic--a good team can keep possession with one-touch passes and the players move to space, pass back, etc. the aspect of the AI that needs a complete overhaul is the way players leave huge holes in the back to chase down the ball or even a player to mark. it happens for both the CPU and player teams. and you are right about the way defenders play WAY off the ball for no apparent reason at critical moments, leaving tons of space to turn and shoot unopposed at the goal. not at all realistic.
i would also like to see tighter marking and more 50-50 challenges that result in random deflections and loss of possession. sometimes a pass will ricochet off a player at about five times the original force but crunching tackles send the ball rolling a couple meters at most. EA should tighten up the marking, especially in the final third, and allow for a lot more scrambling and disruptive tackles.
i agree about the CPU keeping possession and attempting better build up. i tweaked some of the ini files to encourage more passing and i've seen an improvement, but it still seems like i concede some pretty cheap goals.
If the possession was balanced then it would be realistic, but the A.I just DOESN'T want to keep possession at all! It's like they'll only keep possession (if that!) when it's 90 Mins and their winning or something gay like that.
They need more tactics for possession, I'm sure, no I KNOW you've seen real games on TV and I know that when you watch them you see all different kinds of moves and possession build up, some in ways, very exciting. FIFA 2003 just doesn't have the 'umph'. Sorry, but this is my opinion and I feel that they need to work on many areas of the A.I and sort out the easiness in the gameplay field. 6-2 on World Class is just to damn easy! I was Man-u AWAY against Real Madrid HOME. Every shot I had with Nistelrooy found its way into the back of the net!!!! :kader: I've only had the game for two months or so, how crap is that? Oh well, you might find/play it different, but either way...there's many gamers out there that have it the same way I do, easy match, after easy match, after easy match, VERY POOR! :mad:
EDIT: This match was played in the CC mode on World Class!!

More goalie interaction is required in the game.
Injured goalies, bookings and sending offs, etc.
skilled players should be able to round the goalie in one on one situations.
they dive at all players feets and win the ball! cant it run loose sometimes? superman is fictional so dont make the goalies fictional!! make them feel and look real!!

Yep, Nick. You're again damn right. I can see that you're experienced FIFA player like me, and you can see that World Class is too easy. If only EA could make a patch which could fix a tons of bugs... maby this game will be much better. But, from the day i bought FIFA, sometimes i click on: Check for update, it's allways: THERE IS NO PATCHES AT THIS TIME...
R they blind, stupid or laisy??
Internazionale 06-01-2003, 03:51:AM - More National Teams.
- Snow weather.
- More tactical & strategy options like WE series.
- Creation Centre & Editing Menu for consoles.
- Hand Ball like TIF.
- Training Ground.
- Indoor Soccer.

Thanks mate,
I think they're blinded by their own success. Becuase their game has beaten PES2 in sales and because they really like their game, they think everyone will think like wise, like it's the best and can't be beaten. NOT! :kader:
They don't need to remake the game, they just need some serious improvement to the A.I and easiness in gameplay! :mad:

You don't to feel sorry about what you said. It's true that argentinian league is far more attractive than k league. Good suggestion!
nickclubman 06-01-2003, 09:46:PM The skills moves (especially the speed burst) are TOO affective and can be used WAY TO FAR to an advantage against the A.I. Even on World Class I find myself bezzing a around the pitch, beating defenders SO easily with players' you'd never DREAM of! :kader:
So here's what is need:
*Bigger pitch.
*Harder to beat defenders and break the defence/midfield down.
*Harder shooting, to direct and get the right height (harder to keep the ball down, just like in real life, ground shots are easier to do, but this doesn't mean easier to beat the keeper, just easier to perform).
*No strange tackle animations here a player is taken down, then magically rises up!
*No 'ghost players' where players' seem to be able to go straight through them, this also goes for the keeper!
*Improved tactical A.I strategies and more tactics for A.I to gain and obtain possession for small/large amounts of time at all kinds of time during the match, but also keeping in the tactics from FIFA 2003.
*More animations.
*Keepers' to dive more and save freekicks on target, but NOT all the time, just a lot more then in FIFA 2003.
*Powerbar speeds for shooting and lobbing to be the same as attribute based freekick and corner, where thw worse the player, the faster the powerbar will increase and the better, the slower.
*Harder to beat goalkeepers.
*Defence to block off more angles for shooting, so getting the shot in is harder.
*Referee's to give direct Red cards, even if it wasn't the last man in defence, like in real life.
*Shooting to have more depth.

These things r the main things and they are reeeeealy frustrating...
northstar 07-01-2003, 01:55:AM k-league is there so they can sell fifa2003 in korea, and asia too.
Other people play football other than europe and s. america :crazyboy:
DanneTheMan 07-01-2003, 02:41:PM Practice mode
More Intl teams
WC mode
Coaches and players on the bench
Yeah also when you change a player, then I wanna see the player get changed, and a man holding up the number board, or what tha **** it's called.:)
And of course better game play.
ScintillateRich 07-01-2003, 03:16:PM After playing fifa2003 on the xbox I had to rush out and buy it (along with a ps2) as it is vastly improved from fifa 2002 world cup. The only thing is: whenever games are greatly improved like this, there is always a previously great feature that has been left out.
To find that you could no longer have one-two passes was annoying, this is such a great feature of the previous version. I don't care how complicated the button combination has to be, it will be worth it for beaking defences in a unique way.
Secondly, the inability to curl the ball in open play is devastating for the games playability when upgrading from fifa2002 world cup. For shots, crosses and through passes this improves the playability drastically, and hey! There are two buttons on the ps2 pad that aren't being used. L2 and R2! What's going on?
Thanks
Rich:kader:
ScintillateRich 07-01-2003, 03:22:PM Also: (Not as important)
How about a foul button and... *gasp* a DIVE button?
So in order of importance
1) Curling in open play
2) One-two passing
3) Foul button
4) Dive button
It's hard to make the games realistic if you're playing with Lee Bowyer in your team and you don't have a foul button ;)
cendor 07-01-2003, 07:43:PM id like a more real game play.
ea have championships like austrian and scotish,and don't have Holland,Greece,Portugal and Turkey-more important championships:f***:

KLINSMANN 08-01-2003, 03:31:AM Fix the heading for one thing!
Also bring back the Indoor Stadium, and make it harder to score goals! Please! It is sooooo easy to score, please make it harder.
Also if I mastered the game in World Class Mode, I can then win every game and make it through the season without a loss. Please could you add another difficulty level that if you let's say play with Manchester United. This is your schedule:
vs. Liverpool (H)
vs. Bolton Wanderers (A)
vs. Lazio (A) - Champions League
You could make the Liverpool game a little harder than World Class Mode. The Bolton game is then switched to a much easier mode, maybe to PRO. Up next is Lazio and since it's AWAY, it gets to a difficulty level of World Class + Pro.
You see what I mean? It's a Difficulty mode that picks the appropriate difficulty level for each of your matches.
Another thing that I would like to see fixed is the STATS. There should be way more stats than there are right now.
Could you please leave the option of choosing Champions League let's say and then being able to pick how many players will play. In 2002 you didn't have that, but put it in 2003. It should stay like that.
I appreciate all the hard work from you guys,
Thanks!

Wait, you mean that they should make for each team their difficulty level? I don't exactly understand your suggestion.
mr_jows 08-01-2003, 05:35:PM As posted before, here's my reaction/thought for the net structure:
EA Should indeed inprove the netstructure. How can they achieve that??
Simple!!
Just ask Ubisoft how they managed to create the realistic waving in curtains etc. in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.
It's awesome too see how curtains (thin and thick) move when you walk upon it, shoot at it, walk through it!! When you walk through it, the curtains stay waving a while. It takes a long time for them to be hanging still again (depending on the type of the curtain).
EA Should use Ubisofts engine for this or they shoud write something like this theirselfes!! Just download the demo of Splinter Cell or play it on the X-Box and you'll see what I mean!!
If the ball reaches the net, the net (depending on the netstructure that is used in the stadium) keeps waving when you score, or is hanging still again in 10 seconds. They can also use this to create a nice wind effect for cornerflags other flags in the stadium and of course the nets in the goal.
I think many of you know what I mean. Didn't know how to explain this one in simple words :P
I'll post a link to a movie ASAP, so you can all see what I mean!!

gugacurado 08-01-2003, 08:34:PM - ingame editing (people like to edit, create teams and players...)
- South American stadiums
- more teams from South America (more from Brazil, some from Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Colombia!)
- customizable weather in exhibition matches
- World Cup
#1 Stunna 08-01-2003, 10:07:PM I just think the whole transfer system sucks.
It should be more like real life, where you could offer money and/or players for the player you want, and according to how good/crappy your offer is you will/wont get that player.
Also, since EA never puts in, and probably never will, any teams from the Americas besides from MLS and Brazil, why not in the transfer screen have a section that just lists all the top players from the Americas, quite a few of them though. Where u scroll in the league selection area in the transfer screen it would just say "The Americas", and the team select area would be blank, and then you would just look for that player in the Americas you want to buy. It doesnt have to say what team they're on now, just his name and his rating and price.
This would be so cool cuz then i could buy players from Argentina like Carlos Tevez or Diego Milito, and players from Mexico such as Jared Borgetti or Jesus Arellano, along with other players from Paraguay, Uruguay and so on.

Lee86 08-01-2003, 10:27:PM These are the wishes of The Hedgehog! I will try to translate his desires to English:
"
-Dynamic weather changes during matches: this option was included in Euro2000, and it consisted that if we start a game in sunshine, it wasn't out of question that in the 30th min the sky become cloudy, and in the 2nd half there is a torrential rain! (I hope you know what I mean)
- Kits that become dirtier during matches! Euro2000 also had this feature!After rain in the half time cinematics,it looked imposing the muddy T-shirt of the players! With a script written in advance, it's not impossible to realise this wish! EA should use the technique used in Rally games!
-Realistic injury model. Yes, im sure you're bored with this but it was in Euro2000 too! He wants to say that for example a calf injury is one missed game, a knee injury is 6 etc. And the values of a player who has just recovered from an injury should have everywhere -1 (so if he had 8 before in speed, he'll have 7 after recovery)
-Regulated transfers: He means that EA should make impossible to transfer Zidane to Bronby, or any other very small team. He have ideas on how to realise it, but he knows that no one will listen him at EA:confused: !
-Small pitched(?), indoor, and beach soccer:It's only a question of laziness do make a feature like these! In fact, everyone knows that in the ini.big the field, and the goal size is changeable! So it needs only a fitting gameplay, and textures and it's ready! This could duplicate the durability of the game!!
-Realization of the winter intervals/holidays:in the EPL there is not vacation, but in many other leagues, like in the German Bundesliga during winter players go inside and organize their indoor "championship". This could be the zenith, the highlight!! Imagine: you finish the autumnal season, and then the indoor football takes place, while the mercato is in progress!!This could be GREAT!!!
things to keep:
-graphics: things to add: snapped tussock, players who spit:p , sideline elements like in NBA live etc.
-the gameplay is almost perfect
The rest will be boosted by patchmakers, and editors:D "
For ones who don't know him, his the best patchmaker of Hungary, and one of the best facemaker on the World!!
And my wishes are that if I'm on to beat a team 10-0, and i score another goal, i don't want that the player run out of the galaxy!!! Only a restrained celebration!!
EA!!! Please realize our dreams in FIFA 2004 !! PLEASEE !!!!
Thanx!;)

Wonderful idea for the dificulty setting, but it's not always as simple as that.
I think every team should be able to beat the best, we've all seen Bolton and Blackburn beat Man-u, this shows just how possible it is and how it should be ALWAYS, so when you get used to the game, it shouldn't make it easy to beat the weaker teams, but there should be a difference between say, Bolton and Liverpool. :)
I think that the game should give considerable pressure when playing away, but shouldn't go easy on you when playing at home.
The game needs to be 4X's as hard on World Class! It's just to easy!! :(

nickclubman 08-01-2003, 11:09:PM I've predicted FIFA 2004 already!! :rockman:
"FIFA Football 2004 is a great improvement from FIFA 2003, but it's to easy and although the graphics are awesome (like always), I find it to easy to beat the A.I. I think the Argentinian league would've been a nice touch and is needed. Why didn't you put in the Indoor stadium? I think this game is a big step in the right direction, but it'll never be the best"
There you go, and it's all true, lol. :D

Iggy dude. keep it easy. we can always edit this thread at the end and send EA the most important points, we dont have to send the whole 20 or 30 pages, theres no need to be agressive with the guys who are giving their 5 cents. not everybody have the time to read all the pages. :kader:
i dont have nothing to add cause all my wishlist has been all ready mention here. ;)
It's ok... but, i'm really pissed off when i see somebody writing same thing what some other guy wrote few pages down... I hope that you're understand me....
Snu4F 10-01-2003, 01:58:PM I need good multiplayer like was in fifa99
so i could play with someone against computer in leage ,in tounaments ,could save and load game like in starcraft
So also i would like to record all match ,
Make patchable game like was 2001 i mean fixed bugs
More controls ,i mean special move
More tatctics like was in fifa98 and some from fifa99
SO NOTHING NEW JUST ADD SOMETHING OLD PLZ!!!
I reckon an DRASTIC Improvement in AI, Licences for UEFA Champions League (ECC really sounds bad) and BETTER MARKING the marking is horrific , Make the refferees give us a break! you tackle a guy u get the ball first yeat the other guy falls down wat
DOES THE REF GIVE ME? RED!
drjohnnyboy 10-01-2003, 05:07:PM Hopefully the thread starter will read all the pages of this topic....
Anyways, what I would like to see for next year is better implementation of the freestyle analog stick (I have PS2)
With that I mean it should have more opportunities to be used
ex. When running after a passed ball which you do not have control of yet, you can flick the analog before you get to it
and the player would do something cool like run over the ball to fake out the defender (s) and then come back to the ball
ex. as the player is running with the ball at high speed , he should be able to do moves at that speed, not only when he is jogging.......
I already posted here a few times...and again I would like to stress that it is important to make the goalies less scripted

Please resize your sig to 250 × 70, otherwise it will have to be removed.
nickclubman 12-01-2003, 06:37:PM EA will never truly make a game that gets everything right, so every player, in the world can say: "Yes, I like this game", cause it's not even like that with Pro Evolution Soccer and the like.
What EA should do at the moment is add to the gameplay, keep building up on NOT modes and stadiums, things that look nice and add to authenticy, but the way the game plays itself. Yeah, sure...if the game didn't have real player names and great graphics it wouldn't be no way NEAR as good, but the game is coming very close to great graphics and the time spent on them, I feel, it too much...maybe taking longer to make the game would be a better choice instead of rushing it! :rolleyes:
EA aren't 100% what we want, if they were, then we'd have a fabulous game, that didn't just look awesome, but played it. Instead we got a full finished graphical game, with Beta gameplay!! :(

dipbhattacharya 12-01-2003, 09:32:PM MOst of the viewer complining fifa2003 is very easy......to play
what i think it is because user have to do nothing to win a match...............and the resons are.......
1. Auto aimiming shots............user do nothing.
2. CPU controlled smart pass............user do noting.
3.CPU controlled acurate crosses.........user do notihing.
4.CPU controlled headers on crosses..........user do nothing.
5.defnders gets the ball for user .............
6.Even through passes are CPU controlled most times.
But it was not the case in WC2002........user have to work very
hard to produce a single good cross on box........
Tell me EA ...........what the user have to do then ?
Tell me EA ...........what the user have to do then ?
Good question. But, you can't be so hard on EA. What they did in this game is really good improvment. Why? Cause, ball control is much copmlicated, but experienced players like me and Nick Clubman can beat AI on World Class like hell. So, the big thing is AI. EA told that they totally remaked AI, bla, bla, bla, yada, yada, yada... now i can have ball possession like never before. And why? Cause much bugs, not in design, but in that new elements which are not balanced... And why? Cause they testers... do they have testers at all? Ya know what i wann say?
It's ok, English guys made great thing, but it's need to be more... polished.
And, about you Nick.
They should do nothing at all in this new fifa or whatever will it be but boost AI on World Class to be unplayable cause it's hardness and fix all bugs. They could do it in their patch, but about their patch... nothing. Let me tell you guys something:
I posted a question to EA Support with a question will they make a patch etc...
They replyed to me something like this:
We don't know is there any patch in development, you could wisit official site for more information. MY GOD!:kader:
maddskillz 14-01-2003, 12:34:AM dunno bout use, but fifa 98(road to world cup) woz an example which should hav been led by! bar the grapphics, it had all the features a game of this time would want let alone 98! The key ones 4 me were: indoor match, every team imaginable(sectioned of in2 europe, south america,concacaf, etc.) also a decent trainin set-up. obvously a grapphics up-date and database up-date added 2 this and its the bomb! period!
p.s a few luxury stuff like hand balls & stretchers wouldn't go a miss. yaaaabooooowww!

- a better gameplay; this year EA did a good job, but not the enough to knock out PES
- a better IA; i could win very easily every team with any team;
- the option to adapte Stadiums names to every team in the game ; for example: San Siro, in Milan weshould be able to change his name for Estádio das Antas (FC Porto);
- a much better in-game creation centre in all consoles (INCLUDING PLAYSTATION 2, please);
- include more leagues; if there´s a problem of licence, why not make close ones???? Ea could include, for an example, the Portuguese League with fake club names, fake players names and so and so....
if there´s no way to do that, then put the possibility to add new Leagues in the FUTURE CREATION CENTRE( TO ALL CONSOLES, INCLUDING PLAYSTATION 2),and the possibility to include created leagues in the SEASON's mode;
- include second's leagues for all LEAGUEs in the game , and the possibilty to create them in the FUTURE CREATION CENTER, and the possibilty to include them also, in the SEASON MODE- a thing like the Database Editor for TCM 2003 will be very nice-
- much more diference between "BIG GUNS" and small clubs, adding a litle random factor ...
PS : If EA want to get accurate information about all the players that are playing in Portugal, i will give the information they want...i still believe in EA and in FIFA that,soon or latter, will return to the nº 1 footie game!
About stats, that´s my ideas:
attacking attitude, defense attituck, fliyng saves, mental strength,physical strength,ball technique,ball control, shooting power,shooting accuracy,shooting technique,tackling,free-kick capability,penalty accuracy, short pass,long pass, crosses,head accuracy,head strenght,head technique, stamina,resistance to injury and physical damage,discipline,team work ,agressivity and jumping...
with those items in proper stats, we will have a beautiful and autentical footie game...EA THINK ABOUT IT!!!! :D :D

The key ones 4 me were: indoor match, every team imaginable(sectioned of in2 europe, south america,concacaf, etc.) also a decent trainin set-up. obvously a grapphics up-date and database up-date added 2 this and its the bomb! period!
p.s a few luxury stuff like hand balls & stretchers wouldn't go a miss. yaaaabooooowww!
And make the ball not stick to players' feet and harder to control. :)
I do recall the shooting been pretty good back then, with the keepers been hard to beat, but the two together, WERE unbalanced sadly, with SUPER goal keepers.
I think they should make the keepers easier to beat, but the defenders much harder to get past and the shots harder to get on goal and direct.

Good question. But, you can't be so hard on EA. What they did in this game is really good improvment. Why? Cause, ball control is much copmlicated, but experienced players like me and Nick Clubman can beat AI on World Class like hell. So, the big thing is AI. EA told that they totally remaked AI, bla, bla, bla, yada, yada, yada... now i can have ball possession like never before. And why? Cause much bugs, not in design, but in that new elements which are not balanced... And why? Cause they testers... do they have testers at all? Ya know what i wann say?
It's ok, English guys made great thing, but it's need to be more... polished.
And, about you Nick.
They should do nothing at all in this new fifa or whatever will it be but boost AI on World Class to be unplayable cause it's hardness and fix all bugs. They could do it in their patch, but about their patch... nothing. Let me tell you guys something:
I posted a question to EA Support with a question will they make a patch etc...
They replyed to me something like this:
We don't know is there any patch in development, you could wisit official site for more information. MY GOD!:kader:
Well, at times we, the gamers' have to wonder what planet EA are on! :kader:
Some of the stuff they've done in the past with FIFA has been VERY questionable and some of the stuff they've done now, like the heading bug is very questionable, as it makes you wonder. What the hell were they doing NOT to notice that? :f***:

viduka09 14-01-2003, 03:37:PM - Bring back Creation Center
- Be able to pick your International squad, rather then the default players that are already there
- During half time, go back to a menu screen that shows team management, settings.......like in fifa 2001
- More frequent and longer lasting injuries
- Be able to play a ball out if someone gets injured, then the opposing team should throw it back
- Different Pitch Conditions
- More fluent Commentery
- Be able to save great goals, passes, like in fifa 2002
- More Signature moves
Thankyou for hearing me out!
Lee86 14-01-2003, 06:03:PM These r the wishes of a boy who don’t know english, but i translated his desires into English:
1.more referee faces, be able to make referee faces with the next CC (if it’ll be)
2.a cinematic to introduce the 2nd half time
3.if there’s a fault, but no card, You should make a cinematic where the ref goes to the faulty player, and he lays him down, or shows him to stop right now!!!
4.Of course an animation for subs: when the refs shows that „now we have the occasion to make subs, make him enter”
5.if a player gets injured the ref should say that he needs nursing, then the doctors enter the field, the heal him, and the player returnes to the pitch…
6.if we sub the captain, he should give his armband to an other player! (this should be a cinematic)
7.more „Ohh! I’ve missed” anims
8.three types of movement: if i push an arrow the player should carry the ball, but not running with it! the fact, that the ball got real phisycs does not mean that the player can start running only with big steps! Sprint mode: the same as it is in 2003. Anticipated mode: like it was in fifa98 -> ctrl+arrows! The player begins to run deliberately, and doesn’t let the ball far.
9.sliding tacklefor balls only! As wc2002. why do i have to tackle everytime with „double” legs ( i hope you know what im tryin’ to explain :).
10.give freekick when i make shoulder to shoulder! Sometimes ref can be wrong too…
Not only for multiplayer mode:
11.on the control selector page: if i turn left, i’m with the home team, turn right, away team, and if i go down im with the REFEREE!! He means that if there r two friend you can join ’em as ref! Naturally you r not allowed to give red cards for everybody! To give your judgements a slider will appear on the screen, and if you don’t anticipate in time, the ai will show to continue, no fault! Same procedure when giving cards!
Controls for this option:
Left arrow: judge for home team
Right arrow: judge for away team
Up arrow: yellow card
Down arrow: red card
A: starting whistle
B: ending whistle ( to finish the match… :) )
Accepting offside : numpad 0
Alowwing substitution: numpad 1
Allow nursing: numpad 2 ( if it will be in FIFA)
x4dixont 14-01-2003, 06:34:PM I think there should the menu screens should be faster.
They should have handballs
Bring back the dive button
Bring back the curling buttons

nickclubman 15-01-2003, 02:10:PM Yeah, and just to originate this thread, I think I've got some great new ideas:
Bring back the indoor stadium.
Make screen faster.
Bring in the handball.
Bring back the dive button.
:p
****
Not really, though, I think EA approach football games pretty badly, the way they seem to think the game plays and the way it should play it pretty bad.
That review a while ago, which said a lot of the changes are cosmic (don't really do anything) is true. Caue even though the ball doesn't stick to the players' feet as much, does it really make it hard to control the ball and twist and turn at super speeds? NO!
And even though the passing and shooting has changed, does it really make a great difference to the difficulty of the game? NO! If anything FIFA 2003 is easier to gain possession and get shots on goal then in FIFA 2002! :kader:
So there, that review was more accurate then I thought, the reviewer saw what the game REALLY was before truly playing it. :confused:
But that's the problem, at first EVERY FIFA game you play seems great, the best of the lot and then after about 2 months, it's crap!

You are correct, there are too many repetitions which is why I have created the FIFA WISH LIST. http://www.wishlist.gq.nu/
I basically collect ALL serious requests and make sure there are no duplications. Like the Last WISH LIST I made which EA received, it will be MUCH MUCH more organized and easier to read.
David Bunt 16-01-2003, 10:17:AM A few things I would like added...
When a player gets injured I hate it when they are automatically replaced by the cpu with someone who does not even play their position eg. Michael Owen playing sweeper for an Injured Sami Hyypia. I would love to be able to pick my own internation swaud from within the game. Better linesmen regarding hand signals, flags etc. Maybe even the odd fight or tension between players after takles are made etc. Another annoyance is the fact that when an injure player is still on the pitch and receives the ball, he can move about freely as if he isn't injured. Liverpool's champion's league shirt would have been nice too. Better pitch textures would be great for leaving marks etc after a sliding tackle. Im not sure if this is already a feature, but drink bottles in the goal mouth, players warming up on the side line. That just about does it for now, anything else i have thought of has already been posted, and if any of the above is already wished for, i apologise hehe.
Later.

Please resize you sig to the 250 × 70 pixels limit. Thanks.
zeropolm 16-01-2003, 11:22:PM for the ps2 version...
1)bring back half time team management
2)More team management
3)get rid of that bloody skipping, very annoying especially when there's action around the box
4)more responsive controls, how many times have you played a blinding 50 yard ball only for the receiving player to balls it up without you actually pressing any buttons. Sprinting and shooting needs to be more responsive. Seems to be impossible to shoot or pass when you actually want to, especially when you're doing a half assed sprint
5)freestyle controller is a disaster, sort it out
6)bring back training
7)show the subs coming on the pitch, it can't be that hard can it?
8) why has a nonentity from Parma got the best stats in the game??
David Bunt 17-01-2003, 02:27:AM Hello all,
One annoying thing I remember about fifa 2003 is the fact that whenever you press F1 it is always the home team which is selected for team management. It would be a lot easier if you would just be taken straight to the team management of the side you selected. More to come i'm sure...
Later
gunner123 17-01-2003, 06:15:AM Why not have incentives so that when you win cups and tournaments, you open classic club and international teams (like in madden)
playing with Brazil '74 or Argentina '86 would be cool.
mart1n 17-01-2003, 05:12:PM Damn I enjoy all the FIFA games. But there is still room for improvements...
1) Training
- we really need it... I still havent figured out a way to scored on corner kicks. I wanna practice shoots, free kicks etc. Get it back !!!
2) Camera views
- I play end to end... makes it so nice to pass through balls. But if I wanna make a cross it is impossible to use that... I can NEVER see the players in the center. So if u could change the angle a bit so u actually could see from the corner kick area to the back of the goal it would be nice. Crossing and through balls at the same time - woohoo !!!
3) Heading
- hmm kinda sucks... but actually it isnt as bad as people says.
4) Online gaming !!!
- ARGH !!! I buy this game to play online and of course I cant get the match maker or what ever it is called to work :( but what really would be nice was a server side of fifa ! SERVER SIDE !!! So people could just connect like we know it in Counter Strike... Also... maybe 2 on 2s would be nice or else it is just me who hasnt figured it out yet. But please make online gaming better!!!
5) Shooting
- the delay from when u press the fire buton and untill the guy shots is terrible :( Also... it sucks that u can just make a small shot when u are alone with the goal keeper and then u score. Lobs should be more efective or dribling. Not just a lame shot.
6) Customize buttons
- I wanna be able to deside what buttons should do what. E.g. I change to cam view 8 when Im at the back line for crosses :P Really lame and I screw up all the time but sometimes it actually works. It would be nice if I could do that on ctrl or some thing... EVERYTHING SHOULD BE UP TO THE PLAYER !!!!

nickclubman 19-01-2003, 08:08:PM EA don't know how to keep us entertained, that's their problem at the moment.
They need to spend a whole lot more time making FIFA, otherwise it'll be the same with FIFA 2004, good for a while, then CRAP!
If they tried adding more and not taking away then that'd be a start! :rolleyes: We all know maths, add = more = more people like the game. - = less = less people like the game, SIMPLE AS!

I hope that you also could act like a manager, I thought they said it a few days after the release from FIFA 2003...

nope, I doubt this will happen, FIFA 2004 will be on the same wave length as 2003, but with a CC, updated rosters, more unique playing styles, slightly improved A.I, STILL easy gameplay and a few more things to dissapoint us all! :kader:

HaRrY'S OuR MaN 20-01-2003, 01:36:PM ALL I WANT FROM FIFA 2004 IS-
a better transfer market because you could buy and player in the game and you cant loan players or trade players or contract players
AND ALSO-
make harry kewell look like the real harry kewell because HaRrY's OuR MaN
JeffBoy15 20-01-2003, 05:28:PM Everyone pretty much covered what I want... except for two things:
LIVE CROWD RIOTING (And I mean fires, bottles thrown on the feild, etc.)
SUPERMODEL REFEREES (Female please)
Thank you.
amolunited 20-01-2003, 06:20:PM hi
i am amol
my wishlist:
1) firstly,there should be stuff about the managers.there should be cinematics about the manager reactions during goals.these should look real life.
2)there should be selective wheather,day/night options
3)a seperate world cup section
4)the celebration cinematics should be longer and more interesting as well as more emotional
5)the players should sometimes get into fights
6)cinematics about players removing their shirts when scoring goals.
more to say later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grimph 20-01-2003, 11:15:PM Many of us want a more "realistic" gameplay. What does it mean in practice? For me, a realistic fifa 2003 (what I would like to find in fifa 2004) mean :
- using Fifakulte patch for cmn/ini file
- using Breamster patch for cmn/be/Aicpu file
- never using freestyle play, because it is made for arcade. Without freestyle, you have to use breakthrough passes, place the best players on the wings...
Fifa 2003 can be very realistic , "Pro evolution like" when you choose these options. I think fifa 2004 could have a very good gameplay on this basis.
Parasol 21-01-2003, 02:01:AM !PORTUGUESE LEAGUE!
add more realistic benches (like managers sending orders to the players while on play and reacting to the refs decisions)
more stadiums
:rockman:
bmpv666 21-01-2003, 04:45:PM the training mode of course (probably some1 already said this, but hey this thread is 22 pages long!! :p )
the IGM system, remember that? present in fifa 2000 (the last 1 I remember with this feature), where U could change Ur teams formation by pressing one key in the middle of the game, very handy!
the training mode of course
I've already posted that training mode is 100% back...
And about you guys who r looking for argentinian league, probably there will be something like this Creation Centre (i hope more technically improoved) and you could import your leagues, players, flags, chants........
But we're not still sure will there be FIFA 2004 at all, you know?
I've heard that EA Sports UK will shut down FIFA project and that they r working on something different, better...
We will see...
And, please. Read some pages of this damn thread. It is unneccesary that it is too big.
Thank you
Soanis 21-01-2003, 07:09:PM 1 thing i would like to post is:
Every player should have his own pair of boots.The number of boots should be unlimited,i mean every player can have a different boot.And i think EA should bet rid of that choppy boot structure and have an extra texture for the boots ''attached'' to the face/body texture or seperated for each player!
all of you remembetr that in fifa 2002 there was only texture for the faces and the headshapes could be edited
well in fifa 2003 there is more on the texture for each player like hands,feet,eyes etc.There could be an additional texture for the boots attached to the main texture or just importd in the fsh file.
The boots could be edited easily and new boots could be made.
there should be textures of both boots,left and right, front tex rear tex,upper tex,and bottom tex for each boot.The left and the right tex for each boot should have the same size,not as it is now.
i hope you get my point!
cheers.
Campobasso 22-01-2003, 04:02:PM -how often do you see attackers run themselves to death trying to steal square balls deep into their opponents' half?
-extremely necessary: extension of lineup possibilities (what if i want to play 2-2-3-1-1-2?)
i really feel the å needs to be promoted!!
nickclubman 22-01-2003, 04:50:PM The way in which a player can get the ball and work with it is far to easy. This builds up a huge advantage as a player is going to use many skills to beat the A.I, but the A.I is slow at building up play and thinking fast. It doesn't seem logical to give the player so much freedom with passing and skills to be pulled of at ease with no problems and to speed burst around at 100Mph, it just feels like the A.I is at a point of a HUGE disadvantage from the player and the A.I only seems to really kick-in when they're 1-0 down, or just loosing and it's coming near the end of the match. If they played that furious throughout the whole game it'd be frantic and exciting and to make them even crazier when they're a goal down would be such an adrenaline rush! :rockman:
I would like it so players' have many more attributes and although this will have been said in this thread before, let me go into more detail, please. :)
*The attributes should affect a team to an extent where one team will feel different to the other, as the players' have a much bigger affect, depending on what players' they have and how the team works to build-up play, defend, attack, etc.
*Players' that have a bad passing rating, shouldn't just have slower passing, but not be very good at controlling an in-coming pass and to deliver one, as many things come together to give you one, BAD, attribute. E.G. If a player has bad balance, then his heading shouldn't be great, nor control for skills, so more logic in the attributes would be welcome.
*If a player gets injured, they might be still able to play, just like in real life and it should be the players' choice to see what kind of injury the player has picked up and to see if he stays on or not. e.g. A twisted foot at a certain level (ok, or bad) could be looked at properly on a specific screen for team injuries and then the player can choose to keep him playing or have him substituted, just like in real life. Something like a broken foot will obviously be a sub straight away and no choice will be given, expect a pop-up screen informing the player of the injury and asking them to sub, or go to Team Management, like FIFA 2002 and 2003.
That's what I feel about this.
Shooting: I am always trying to find ways to improve the shooting, playing FIFA 2003 gives a feel of easiness in the shooting area. The shooting is too easy to direct, I've said this before, but it just has to be mentioned again to some detail:
*If a player, ANY player gets the ball, then it will be hard to direct, NO MATTER what they're level for shooting is, it should still be hard to execute a great goal (top corner, chip, curler), but that shouldn't mean it's hard to get it in the bottom corner, but SHOULD be hard to get it in the bottom corner with POWER and even curl to really beat the keeper, or to give a better chance of beating them. Curling the ball should be brought back, but to curl the ball should be like in Pro Evolution Soccer! I feel very strongly about this, as PES gives a great feeling of where and how the player would like to curl the ball and this is great!! :)
I'm not a big fan of any shooting system that's been in a FIFA game, it's always been too easy to direct and un-balanced. :( Although EA aim their game at a younger audience, I feel this is a let down, as many more older gamers' will buy the game and not little kids. Lets leave the kid game like Sonic and Mario shall we? ;) Football’s a MANS/WOMENS, not a BOYS/GIRLS game! Basically, if pro football consisted of little children, then it’d be a joke. So why aim a game full of pro footballer’s at little children? 3+? COME ON!

Yep, Nick, you're again daaaamn right:D
I'm totally agreed with you about ball control, ai, and all things you mentioned... I think that we will get quality football game 'cause it's in english hands now. I hope that they will make game bugless, but i'm pritty sceptical about that... Why? Cause every FIFA game has it own bugs, and i think that EA never released ONE patch for their games.
We will see.

Cheers mate and yes, I agree EA always seems to put in their trademark bugs, you know, like some are just THAT bad they're deliberate, lol. :D

MasterM 23-01-2003, 12:57:AM I have this game just 1 day but this is my list
*Cpu teammates need to run in the depth by themselfs more. In fifa worldcup 2002 this was much better. In 2003 the cpu teammates stand more in the way, they dont make themselfs free. I first have to press a button, whats becomes annoying in a while.
*I cant manage to make a header. Since i have the game i never managed to make a header. Its just very annoying and becomes one sided when you always lose the air duels in mid field. I dont even push the buttons anymore because i know ill never win the duel.
*Crosses in the box always end up by a defender. This is because the header system is very weird or isnt there? The same is with corners. Also corners of the cpu opponents are always the same. The keeper of my team always seem to stomp the ball away.
* THE GOAL NET!!! IN all fifa games the net is so badly made. Sometimes its like elastic, sometimes its like paper, sometimes its like plastic, sometimes its like stone. Its like everything except like a real goal net! EA whats your problem, you can make football players life like, but you cant make a simple net look realistic?? A realistic movement of the net gives more satisfaction when scoring a goal!!!!
* Different styles of goals in each stadium would also be nice, and some nets in the team color of the home team.
But fifa isnt only bad. I want to give a big thumbs up for the passing system. That just rocks, you can make every combination that you can imagine. Very nice!
Dagoods 25-01-2003, 05:49:AM Bring BACK the CLASSIC TEAMS!!! (FIFA2000) In my opinion was the best FIFA version I ever played because I was able to play with MARADONA, CRUYFF, DI Stefano, Platini, Pele etc.
BUT PLEASE BRING BACK THE EDIT/CREATE A PLAYER OR ROSTER OPTION BACK. FIFA is POINTLESS without these OPTIONS!!!
More ways to SCORE goals, more goal celebrations, how about the REFS standing near the PITCH. How about when a BALL is about to go OUT OF BOUNDS why not let the PLAYER TRY to SLIDE and not let the BALL go out of bounds. Make it more realistic. SHIRT GRABBING, SHORT PULLING, A FEW ELBOWS, Trash talking FACE to FACE arguments...ETC.
KLINSMANN 26-01-2003, 06:40:AM Yeah I thought of another thing. Well, when you start a friendly match for example, FIFA 2004 should let you choose the importance of the match. If you are setting up a tournament with your friends, but couldn't do it over "Create Tournament" mode, you should be able to choose from 5 levels of importance.
The lowest one could be: "Just a Game" and the Highest could be: "World Cup Final Important."
Thanks

breamster 26-01-2003, 06:44:PM they need to show better presentation when 2 legged cup games take place.
actually show the aggregate scores, etc, its so annoying when playing the second leg, and i dont no the first leg score!!

That was already written. People, please read some of this thread...
And, it can be done, why not Breamster?
hollowi 28-01-2003, 01:05:AM A lot of big lists, so I may repeat some but I think I have something that no-one has said.
-Header possible everytime (not only when there's opp. near you) (and make it easier, for God's sake)
-No long animations; I hate when my player takes the ball and uses up to two seconds doing something crazy with the ball so the opponent gets it.
-More specs: You can't deal with about 10 specs per player. Eg, where's shot accuracy (Mendieta shot 8 eh... Maybe 8 for shot power but 10 for accuracy), is crossing included in passing? Not a good idea. There's speed yes, but where's agility? A little list for new ones: shot accuracy, crossing, agility, dribbling, balance, aggression
-Add MANY lines to the commentators, it's irritating to hear the same line 15 times a match.
-May sound childish, but I want the special moves.
-More complicated control system: new buttons needed for header (so the computer doesn't try to decide for you and make the wrong decision), a dribbling key that you can actually use with PC
-Better fouling system, 2 fouls per game is not realistic; 20 is. Eg. hand fouls would be nice and if you press the "conservative tackle" too early, your player would grab the other guy's shirt.
-Make it a football game. Not some silly backyard footy with big names.
-I start a game with Barca. I see that first team players De Boer, Iniesta and Valdes are missing. Also it bothers me that the game automatically replaces missing player with some player like Dani in Barca. WTF I want Dani for if I'm missing a back??
-Formations. Dissappointing thing in FIFA03, why not have a freely selectable formations?
-Keeper intelligency. I don't want to see my keeper to run to the limits of the box when attack comes.
-Better crosses in free kicks
-Better AI in simulated games. Valencia should not be 8th, and Osasuna shouldn't be 2nd.
-Different shooting system in free kicks. The one there's now is ridiculously easy. I score 9/10 free kicks because you only have to hit the green zone. Maybe something where you have a short (like 5m in the field) arrow which you use to aim, and the rest is done with the ball, and the shot power would be given same way as in the game normally; ie pressing the shot button down. And the keepers should save some of the free kicks too.
-Well that's for the day, maybe I'll put something when I wanna write more
Visca el Barça!

what can be done??
GwapseJnr 28-01-2003, 07:07:AM 1) Substitute cinematicswith the guy who holds up that sign when a sub comes on and off
2) The guy holding up the sign hat tells the players how much time is left
3) More stadiums
4) Australian league
5) Make the bodies solid so that arms cant go through heads and stuff
6) Commentators get more excited when a goal is scored........I mean nuts like they do on TV
7) More celebrations.........Aeroplane...the worm one.....playing cards.....polishing shoe....singing into the corner post.....running into the crowd (jump over the advertisement board.... etc.
8) Improved headers
9) Harder to score goals
10) Free kicks are great in 2003 but still more improvet with accuracy and if carlos is taking the kick give him more curve
11) Brin out players talents- Beckham - Freek kicks - Carlos - Curving etc.
12) Improved AI
13) Real tournaments and you have to earn th club money so you can do transfers
14) Mp3 mode
15) Club Anthems and National Anthems sung before the game for important games
16) If two crappy teams are playing there should not be a big crowd compared to if Roma and Lazio were playing where there would be a huge crowd and a lot of noise
17) More flares and stuff on the field
18) If you cant it everything on 2 cd's release a CD version and a DVD version.
19) Player database so that you can see each players photo and a brief biography
20) Bring Free Cam back in the instant replays.
21) Custom team management
22) Bring back the old controls
23) More weather options
24) Smarter goalie..
I THINK THATS ALLL FOR NOW......I KNOW IM DREAMING BUT.....IT IS A WISHLIST.
If you cant it everything on 2 cd's release a CD version and a DVD version.
This is not a very good idea, cause it would be too much money to spend... DVD ROMs on PC's r still not optimal solution for gamers. When they will be, it could be done. Now, not...
And, about your suggestions, it was already written, although, commentary suggestion is a good one.
night 28-01-2003, 11:52:PM -Replace Ally Mcoist.. his voice pisses me off, makes me feel sick and dont wanna play anymore...

sorry for my ignorance.. didnt read all the thread :crazyboy:

Err... Options>Sound>Commentary>off>save changes
Problem solved:D
Striker On Fire 01-02-2003, 09:16:PM Sorry i haven't read the whole thread (there are 4 pages of it)
but what i'd like to see are:
Player edit features - the ability to create your own players is a must - also to adjust the skill level of the players, depending on their performances.
Training - it'd be nice to perfect those headers, overhead kicks, free-kicks, etc - but NO annoying music like ISS2. If it was like Prov Evo training it'd be a lot better.
---------
I'd also like to see more leagues or teams. Eg, where is Fenerbache? Or Besiktas (currently the leaders of the Turkish League).. Why only Galatasaray (it's not the ONLY turkish team)?
Also, i'd like to see English Division 1 teams. If you play a season league tournament you get to play division 1 teams in the FA Cup games, but where are they to play normally? come on EA - sort it out!
Also, i'd like them to have Holland in there. It's a bit stupid not to have Holland or Japan with no create player/team option.
---------
As for gameplay - more of the same, but QUICKER striker responce times. On my Gamecube, the goalie rush is a little bit too quick and i'd expect to fire off a shot much quicker - but instead the striker winds up for a shot while the shot meter is powering and the goalie is able to take it off my feet...
Also for the gamecube version, i'd like those faces cleaned up a bit - most have white faces.
More to follow if i can think of it..
Cheers!

I believe in more gameplay depth and less bugs. :) I've already stated in more detail in past posts.
It seems people mention gameplay improvements, but EA aren't physic, so we have to go into more detail to get what we really want.
TO EVERYONE:
Do you really think EA just go:
"This would be a nice idea, f*ck it, it's going in"!
They go though numerous stages and testing, analysis, implementing the ideas, it's not simply:
"Improve the gameplay please, cause graphics are already great, ROCK ON".
So, if we want a better game, we have to really go into detail with our ideas, otherwise, we'll all be disappointed again after a month of playing and mastering the game! :(
Nick Clubman.
Striker On Fire 02-02-2003, 03:26:PM Right NickCLubMan, well said, but what's that got to do with my post which you're quoting from?
I haven't really talked about gameplay depth because it seems fairly good. I'm on about extra features. More teams, edit features. Those are a must for an update. Of course the play needs tweaking (every game update does) but i'm talking about extra stuff, not so much the passing or shooting.
My final wishlist :
That I don`t want to see a FIFA 2005 wishlist next year, because some bugs again in FIFA 2004.

serhat09 03-02-2003, 10:48:PM I just want turkish league dammit :)
calve11 04-02-2003, 03:55:AM EA, honestly you guys suck so bad with player ratings. Ok, has anyone ever heard of Edgar from Malaga? Well he was loaned out to a second division Spanish side and he is rated 90 in the game! That's better than Beckham, Rui Costa, Zidane and Morientes. Honestly what were you thinking?!
You also ****ed up really bad on Benfica's squad. LoL Paulos Cabral rated better than Simao :kader: LoL! Simao should at least be an 88... Also wheres Petit, Helder & Feher?!
soccerbread 04-02-2003, 08:51:AM 30 blue Times
Well everyone what about 2003. Have a good think about what a great game ea have created in such a small time so i would like to congratulate EA Sports on that. Now to the topic, FIFA 2004. After everyone finishes 2003 and gets bored of it this topic will be one that will heat up so what a great time to express what i reckon every soccer gamer needs in the next Fifa. Ready EA?
1.What is the use of having a soccer game when you can't control the keeper in those tight situations where it is one on one.
2. Training mode which you will hear from everyone is a must in the next edition of FIFA. This is where you can extend on realism EA. What you can do is when what ever team is training, such as Man U you can try to put in Man U's training gear and bibs etc. I don't really care if ea adds that special part to the game but I am happy just as long as there is the much needed TRAINING MODE!
3. I know many people don't care about this team but I dor 1 would hav to say what happened to Japan? Okay there may be Nakata, Inamoto and Ono in the game but this team is a must. I also know about rights and all that stuff but when it is such a good team such as Holland you have to do you're best to get them into the game. As the moto says "EA Sports it's in the game"
Thankyou for setting up this forum and hope that EA recognises my needs for a better soccer game.:clapwap:

lol, I guess I kind of clicked on the quote button instead of the reply button in your post, lol. I should have noticed that it was a quote post as when you type in that form, you see the other guys post in your reply box, but I didn't think at the time.
I think that you made good suggestions and I wasn't talking to you personally mate. :) I just hope that Ea have MORE time to work on FIFA 2004. The more time the better.
ROCK ON. :rockman:
Nick Clubman.
valioso 06-02-2003, 05:49:PM I want to have control of the goalie on the horrible free kicks.
I want a way to stop the automatic goal from crosses cause it gets very annoying when all they do is score from crosses.
I want 9 directions for the pk, not 3
djperthglory 07-02-2003, 01:52:PM ALL I WANT IS MACEDONIA IN THE NATIONAL TEAMS section. i mean i have a reason that they should be included. that reason is if senegal can shock the football world and be included y cant macedonia when they shocked the football world too.
Nesta rules 09-02-2003, 01:09:AM Indoor football! That mode rocked on Fifa '98! 2 bad we never saw it again after fifa '98...:(
Dimony 09-02-2003, 08:03:AM You must be able to move your players when the opposing team takes freekicks, currently they just freeze.
Make the freekicks more flexible: ability to curve the ball from any set piece, make players take runs.
Every time the home team gets the ball first - that should be random.
Every time CPU starts from the centre circle they do exactly the same thing - forward tries to take on my whole team. That never happens in real life.
When the keeper saves a shot there is an animation period(he gets up , waves at the defenders etc.) and you dont control him.
That is really annoying especially if you are losing and running out of time.
ONE BIG SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS.
Hire a couple of editors and patchmakers from the online community. Ariel, Breamster etc.

Erm, there are some great editors and program creators in this community, but I doubt they could sit at EAC without no training whatsoever and make FIFA! I think many people here live in noddy land! :rolleyes: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I used to EDIT A.I. Does that mean I can suddenly become a super genius and actually CREATE A.I? NO! It's like some people actually expect this in a letter or e-mail:
"Hey such and such, we've seen the programs you've made and many other programs you've created, oh and the edited work is just FAB, come make FIFA with EA, cause with you, we'll sell LOADS more copies"!
Ariel lives in Argentina right? Yep, just immigrate to Canada, easy as piss and work for EA! :rolleyes:
I’m not trying to put anyone down, like I said these people work their asses off to get great programs and edited features out to us to download, but hey, I’m just stating my thoughts on this, my opinions on the subject.
Nick.
Heiks 10-02-2003, 12:53:AM here's some from me:
-> impove the fućking gameplay!
-> kill CC and all over, CC has to be like it was in FIFA2002
-> bring back the old controls - volleys, headers, kicks like it was 98-2002
-> the best thing about FIFA2003 is the freekick controll! please keep it this way!
-> pay some money for licenses [UEFA Cup; Champions' League; some ćocky players]
-> player models: long sleeves, short sleeves, sleeveless maybe different collars[high-low; O or V]
-> all weather for any stadium - sunny, cloudy, evening, night, rain, snow, sleet, mud, fog...[no sunset!!! :mad:]
-> more realistic transfers: my own offers, rejections,
-> bring back offside-trap, pressing
-> more different and better cinematics
[start of the game, end of thegame,an usual goal,a last minute winning/equalising goal, a pointless goal, miss, own goal, card, off-side, many-many different cup/competition winning cinematics, fouls, subs]
EA, please try to do atleast some of this stuff!!!
:rolleyes:
simcut 10-02-2003, 04:45:AM well, hopefully its the time that EA stop amending the graphics, cause right now the graphics are SPOT ON. so hopefully that will mean they spend more time working on gameplay and importing more cinematics. here's some bits I'd like to see in the game
1.list of scorers on the score display (at bottom of screen)
2. cinematics of substitutions
3. Cinematics of the manager/coach jumping up and putting his heads to his hands when the team miss a shot (like a replay) or him shaking his fist at his team, something like that.
4. fix the bugs :) obviously
5. have a random fixture list each season in the game if I remember correctly its identical every year (apart from teams relegated and promoted)
6. Importing more teams in the game from 2nd divisions...
7. the cool feature that was in World Cup 98 (I think) where you were told if I goal went in at another game (that was great!) you could see when goals went in in other games
8. all weather conditions again (I want to play in the snow!)
9. Cinematics of pushing and shoving of players, and refeering calling them over and having a word, or yellow carding.
10. Barnet FC (come on you bees!)
11. better crowds (I noticed they jump around when watching replays of a goal they are already celebrating the goal before it goes in on a replay
12. injuries to players and having physio run on etc...
13. the free kick style control on corners
14. goalkeepers being able to get sent off....
15. a better transfer system (as someone else suggested getting offers from other clubs for players and having a transfer market with players for sale)
long list, would be happy if a 1/3 of it were added.
:)
as for the people that want "this team, and that league" well, I dunno what you think, seems that they have to include every league in the darn world to make people happy (mongolian league anyone??) which is not possible,
oh and 16. allow better editing so the patchmakers can patch like they used to and please the people from turkey, holland and portugal who dont have leagues added originally!
17. ditch Creation Centre, and just make a EDITOR, that allows editing on everything
and finally, number 18 - allow a max of 24 clubs in a league (so someone can make a division 1 patch PROPERLY! in future fifa's)
:) kind regards
pmg4lktan 10-02-2003, 05:58:AM bring the "banana-kick" back! i want every division as well as our National league (Malaysia) available!
well ... just wish ...
Best regards from,

the FIFA WISH LIST has been updated
www.wishlist.gq.nu
TristanAbbott7 12-02-2003, 09:57:AM (1) The ability to be able to head the ball when you're by yourself.
(2) The ability to be able to score a goal from a corner more than 1 in every 2000 attempts.
(3) Headers from corners to be more frequent and actually have enough pace to beat the goalkeeper.
(4) Better response times so I don't feel like I've got time to go and make a coffee before the player I've just made shoot actually shoots.
(5) An in-game WORKING creation center.
(6) The return of training mode, weather and day/night choices.
(7) Roster update patches once every three months - if Treebeard can make them surely EA Sports can.
(8) Rebounds that don't leave a sonic boom becasue of their impossible speeds.
(9) Defenders that don't run away from attackers with the ball.
(10) Testing of the game for more than two days before it's released.
(11) The ability to curl shots and passes again.
(12) The World Cup tournament rather than a pseudo one.
(13) The ability to delete saved games rather than having 50 saved games on your list.
(14) EA Sports representatives who read this wishlist and actually do something about the major things like the heading.
(15) A better representation of player speeds. Players can't actually catch up to you in real life when you are 20 yards ahead unless you are a snail.
(16) Some realistic player ratings. The USA squad are ranked 10th in the world by FIFA yet EA Sports seem to think they should have the same skill levels as the Ivory Coast!
(17) The ability to be able to cross the ball easier like in previous FIFA's without the defense almost always catchign up with you.
(18) The ability for you players to be able to get on the end of the crosses more than 1 in 20 attempts.
(19) Get rid of the auto-clearances by the human controlled team. It makes defense a joke.
(20) Make it possible to lob the keeper from further out if he's off his line rather than only being able to do it close up.
(21) Make it possible to score from far out occasionally on the higher levels.
(22) Introduce hand-balls or the "if it's in the game, it's in the game" motto is a bunch of crap. It's ok not to have fights as it's something you don't want in the real game but hand balls happen accidentally and shirtpulling is part of the game. People want to fee lthe game as realistically as possible.
(23) Quit having every player who is tackled in the oppositions half throw his hands up in the air and whine at the referee rather than being controllable ten seconds later and unable to make another tackle to get the ball back.
(24) Why take all the cinematics out for throw in's and subs?
(25) In World Cup 2002 the stewards/security and other sideline people would walk around. Now they've gone back five years to be almost unrecognisable static blobs.
(26) Return the zoom in/zoom out option to the cameras.
(27) Don't bother working to make the graphics any better until all the gameplay issues are sorted out. People already love the graphics, that's not what anybody on here complains about.
(28) Release the game to select BETA testeers from the FIFA community and take account of their feedback. Your own testers at EA don't know crap obviously or else the heading disaster would never have happened.
(29) Allow for random referees or additional referees rather than the Landon Donavan lookalike in almost every game except internationals.
(30) Introduce more cinematics like the manager shouting at his players or running onto the field at the end.
(31) READ THIS FORUM AND TAKE NOTE - THIS IS YOUR MARKET - IGNORE US AND WE'LL LEAVE YOU FOR KONAMI FOR GOOD!!!

(20) Make it possible to lob the keeper from further out if he's off his line rather than only being able to do it close up.
(21) Make it possible to score from far out occasionally on the higher levels.
(22) Introduce hand-balls or the "if it's in the game, it's in the game" motto is a bunch of crap. It's ok not to have fights as it's something you don't want in the real game but hand balls happen accidentally and shirtpulling is part of the game. People want to fee lthe game as realistically as possible.
(23) Quit having every player who is tackled in the oppositions half throw his hands up in the air and whine at the referee rather than being controllable ten seconds later and unable to make another tackle to get the ball back.
(24) Why take all the cinematics out for throw in's and subs?
(25) In World Cup 2002 the stewards/security and other sideline people would walk around. Now they've gone back five years to be almost unrecognisable static blobs.
(26) Return the zoom in/zoom out option to the cameras.
(27) Don't bother working to make the graphics any better until all the gameplay issues are sorted out. People already love the graphics, that's not what anybody on here complains about.
(28) Release the game to select BETA testeers from the FIFA community and take account of their feedback. Your own testers at EA don't know crap obviously or else the heading disaster would never have happened.
(29) Allow for random referees or additional referees rather than the Landon Donavan lookalike in almost every game except internationals.
(30) Introduce more cinematics like the manager shouting at his players or running onto the field at the end.
(31) READ THIS FORUM AND TAKE NOTE - THIS IS YOUR MARKET - IGNORE US AND WE'LL LEAVE YOU FOR KONAMI FOR GOOD!!!
Well said and point 31* is VERY true, if I go into the PES forum now I see members that don't post here anymore, as they've played PES and loved the gameplay and literally told EA to go f* themselves. I think that FIFA 2004 will fix the heading and be more difficult, but instead of actually causing more bugs, they'll just add some gameplay things like the horrid auto clearances to really piss us all off!

bbranco10 13-02-2003, 02:42:AM Some things I wish they would add to Fifa 2004 would be to:
1.To make it more realistic like say a player just made a very long run or is very tired make it showing him clean his head with his shirt , to make it have the defenders pulling on the forwards shirts and going slower than him the defenders arent that fast. Change the throught button bass somewhere else. USE ALL BUTTONS. You guys dont use L2 and R2 and L1. You could use those for actual moves when you want to do them and do something else with the right analog control(pretty cool though).
2. ALso the problem with ea sports from other companies is they always show the same player movies or animations before a game or after. You got to make it different.
3. Also dont use the rest of the world section and replace it with the teams in those leagues like use the dutch and portuguese league. ANd the second division teams just make another section for them. BRING BACK THE CLASSIC TEAMS! In fifa 2000 the classic teams were great. But use all the great player and like evry year like in madden u select a team and u can choose the current team or the year they were very good. Use all the good players Cruyff Van Basten Pele Maradona Banks Becknebauer Eusebio Daglish etc.
Bring back the creation centre and make it more so were like almost a stylist for the team. So we choose the boots and the shorts and the shirt. Some players wear gloves on cold days show it!Like let us pick long sleeve or short sleeve and say some players use theyre shirt not tucked in do it like that. Make more cleats maybe ask the big brands like Adidas and Nike if u can use them becuz there are many brilliant boots now. Maybe the boot can effect the way they play(further on).put more faces have people in ur studio research like one league so u have all the sirts correctly and faces and while theyre there they can see the players.
Do this:In Madden and Nba Live players retire and get worse over the years and actually have contracts and they sometimes reject them. Say a very young player on a dutch or portugeuse team such as ibrahomovic or simao are like an average 81 overall and get better for the team then u can show that the other big teams are interested such as real madrid or manchester. Then after they would play for the big teams and get better their rating would get better like from an 81 to a 90 and if they get worse theyll lose skill in theyre attributes and go from a 81 to a 72. Also sometimes maybe on a special day have them wear special or retro old jerseys.
Also make a little manager style in one part of the game. SO we can buy things for players on the team or for the team if we get money from winning tournaments. SO they can get like the newest or best boot. Maybe theyll have a bad boot and it can effect theyre shooting.
Make it so we can see the coaches yelling at the players and the coachers chering.More celebrations. PUT THE TRAINING MODE BACK IN!!!so i can practice the free kicks. Make the pelaty shots better and look at world cup 2002 it so great make it more like that so you can out the spin on the ball with out taking a free kick and the players are bigger. Dont always make the ball go 2 the side of the net IT IS SO ANNOYING. I wanna score some goals from 30 yds out.
Try to include nutmegs and maybe have the other player smile or get madder or embarassed. ALso make the freestyle control easier to do moves that kick gets annoying. make it like IF U PRESS L2 IT IS FREESTYLE CONTROL MOVES ONLY AND If u press it again IT WILL DO THE KICK TO MAKE UR MOMENTUM BETTER. MAke the right analog stick more like in nba live 2003. Make it so like maybe a crossover in nba live is like a step over in fifa just maybe move it to the right and maybe for a better move or a nutmeg u have to do a combination with the right analog stick.
ALso include national team call ups for those good young players. Maybe if we win a lot of things we cann unlock videos of games or goals. Maybe if we are a coach in a season and come in 7th place with arsenal we get fired and have to find a job as a manager somewhere else in fifa. SCOUT EVERY PLAYER SEE HOW GOOD PLAYERS ARE GIVE PLAYERS ON SOME SEMI POPULAR TEAMS GOOD RATINGS 2. ALso include some new stadiums make MORE CROWD INTERACTION.Not just a wall of THINGS going up and down.NO more patches to get the extra stuff from next year SOme people dont use the pc too much and its better on ps2 or xbox.maybe have a little training thing be4 the game where U have to do drills and some fans ask for autographs and stuff. Make the free kicks more of curves not always bullets. ILL COME BACK WITH MORE LATER.
El Piojo Panizo 13-02-2003, 06:54:AM I definately want a creation center added, and also a way to get some players on International teams, like I will want Bati on Argentina but he is retired, so I would like to be able to get him from Inter.
cranky 14-02-2003, 11:48:PM This bug is simply terrible!!!
It's the Gk bug, the goalkeeper is stuck next to the goal, and when the striker scores, the goalkeeper finally moves....
It's really irritating..

yeap ... i had the keeper stuck on the post and just watch then opponent bring the ball in ... :(
anotehr thing i suggest is ... why don't we have a more realistic foul? (6)
such as kicking the player and as i know header never foul (in real game, foul on header is normal) ... and how about scolding the referee then get a red card? :evil:
by the way ... another serious bug is ... when i pass the ball ... the ball slip through my player ... the opponent doesn't seems to get the ball ... instead it waited for my player to "walk" over to the ball ...
Best regards from,

Brian(H) :) :rockman:
Stotty 16-02-2003, 03:48:PM they should have referee subsitutions,
diving,
handballs,
postponed matches,
other teams buying and selling players i.e you recieve offers for players,
stretches for injured players and those little buggies they have in italy,
streakers!!!!!!!(lol)
weather that changes during the match so it might stop raining or and become sunny,
linesmen that actually work rather than ones that stick the flag up in any direction when the ball goes out,
flat balls and replacement balls,
4th official that checks subs,
it should tell you how long to be held up and the electronic boards should be held up
Vazza 17-02-2003, 12:23:AM Sorry to say this but those points are rather minor (go to a match to see those;) ), I will just be glad if EA fix the main probs - chopiness, heading, curl, AI etc.
TristanAbbott7 18-02-2003, 11:29:AM I don't think FIFA 2004 will be any different to FIA 2003 except for graphical enhancements to be honest. If anything the game will be even more scripted. Let's face it, look how simple the game is now with less formations etc. The game is aimed at the under-10's who can't tell the difference between scripted and real gameplay.
EA Sports big market is kids who are blown away by great graphics and don't care about great gameplay. Oh, and people who have nothing better to do than edit graphics, boots, stadiums, faces, etc. rather than actually play the game.
