i think they mean boots, not ball. Ball is confirmed used Adidas Roteiro. but i hope EA can get lisence for boots, cause EA boots look bad...if the player wearing Total 90 II or Predator Mania, surely look 101% that EA boots

After Euro 2004 is over this game will be garbage. God why cant they put Euro as the main competition and put more countries in with a road to world cup and than the world cup itself. Waste of space. They will probably make a Road to World Cup 2006 where u get to qualify and than u dont even get to play th Cup itself. And a year later will make World Cup 2006 with just the teams that qualified plus dumb ass teams like Australia. EA=CACA

All to get money from the dumbasses.:p

I rent and never return it.(H)

Anyone know if Euro 2004 is gonna be available stateside?

Nope...it'll not be released in N.America...... well thats what many sites n EA are saying.

Azrael-- and others: please don't repost these old screens, it only makes this thread huge and messed. Thanks.

All latest screens are available at http://www.fifacz.com/download.php?theme=special/euro04_screens

well, i thnk this will be not as good as they say. rememeber fifa 2004, and how everyone wanted that so badly, because of its features, then we find out that half of them arnt even in the game.

I'm hesitant to purchase this game when it comes out because of the gameplay. I still play my RTWC 98 and still consider it the best game they've ever produced (well fifa wise). I've only purchased one other game, that being WC 2002 and I was impressed by the visuals of the game I shelved the game after 2 or so weeks. It's been 6 years since RTWC 98 and each year 'better, improved gameplay' has been one of their selling points. Though they have improved the gameplay as the years progressed, they still haven't been long lasting games.

thanks lucas:p

the ball is Adidas Roteiro &....the crowd...?? aahhh?? very classic one...:o

http://www.fifacz.com/screenshots/2004/20040211_euro04_01.jpg

Yes. it is Adidas Roteiro, official ball of EURO 2004.

Sorry, but i believe that i've been the first one who posted those
images, and this is the euro2004 thread :kader:

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

lol. no more news or screenies?

lol that adidas roteiro ball looks terrible. Kits as well. I think this game is exact replica of fifa2004, and just like fifa 2004, it will be much better after u install like 30 different patches into it. Better kits (2GK), better balls, and many many other gameplay things. However, if they make these things like fake shots, and ball chips, it should be a bit better then fifa 2004 i think. Also , does anybody know the LIST OF INTERNATIONAL TEAMS for this game?

Seeing as this is a EURO 2004 team I think only teams from Europe will be in the game.:)

Anyone who want to see latest screenies can check back this thread.I dont like posting same things in two threads.Also this is FIFA 2004 forum not EURO 2004 so all discussions abt EURO 2004 should be at General Games Discussion Forum

http://soccergaming.tv/showthread.php?s=&threadid=96022

I have posted the list of features there which EA has said abt the game.

i hope in EURO 2004 freekick, there have rocket shot (like roberto carlos shot) and also different style of freekick (like beckham style, giggs style), if EURO2004 just like FIFA2004, thats going to be very disappointed because in FIFA2004, there only have 1 style taking freekick and no rocket shot, this is boring....

Also this is FIFA 2004 forum not EURO 2004 so all discussions abt EURO 2004 should be at General Games Discussion Forum


No, you can talk about Euro 2004 in this forum until we open a Euro 2004 forum. There just isn't much to talk about Euro yet, except for what is in this one thread. No use opening a forum for one thread.

i meant the list of EUROPEAN COUNTRIES in the game.

Is there an official song yet for Euro2004??? I liked the Euro2000 official song by E-Type, the WC2002 one sux ballz.

We bring you an :drevil: All New :drevil: "Chip Shot"!
And an :drevil: All New :drevil: "Fake Shot"!
:read: Oh no, we're not copying Konami!


:nape:

why copying Konami, i mean they are making a football game
and that chip shot and fake shot belongs to football and not Konami. Konami did make those things in there game first. And now EA will do it 6-7 years later. But they arent copying Konami but they make an addition to there game.
:mrpimp: :mrpimp:

What makes me laugh is they advertise those "Chip Shot" and "Fake Shot" features as if they were some kind of new high-tech stuff in gaming, while we all know that there has already been a game who implemented that some 7 years ago ( OH NO, I`M NOT GONNA GIVE THE NAME OF THE GAME, COS SOME FANBOYS WILL FLAME ME WITH THEIR IGNORANT NARROW MINDED EA`s ARSE !!!!! :crazyboy: ).

The fake shot was already in FIFA 2002 too, so I don't understand why they introduce it as something "new".

BREAKING NEWS - LATEST FEATURES IN EURO 2004!

1 - Players.
Yes, now we have soccer players in FIFA. Try and use 11 of them to team together to win our new feature "the game".
2 - Score Goals.
Now it is possible to score goals. Sometimes you can even score a different goal to the last one you scored. Maybe.
3 - Timed Games.
It's true. Your game can now last for a specified amount of time rather than indefinitely.
4 - The "high shot" and the "low shot".
Beating our competitors with a ****ty stick! Now it's possible on occasions to shoot high and on some other occasions, shoot lower. (Of course this will depend entirely on how far away you are from the goal when the initial shot was made.)
5 - The "PASS" (c)
We have copyrighted this extreme new feature and hope it won't spoil your involvement of the traditional game too much. Our concept involves moving the ball from one player to another using the foot. This can happen up to 2 or 3 times per game.
6 - Dribble.
Oh yes, at last after years of petition by our solid fanbase, we have introduced the notion of being able to move with the ball at your feet. With practice you may even be able to beat another player.
7 - Crowds.
This is an EA exclusive. In the stadiums (oh no I've given new feature number 11 away!) there will be objects closely resembling people that we at EA like to call "supporters". Nifty huh?
8 - A box.
Are we marketing geniuses or what? This year, rather than being delivered to your door wrapped up in a slab of ham, FIFA - Euro 2004 will arrive at your door in a box! And maybe a shiny box at that. (Please ignore the fact that it may look identical to the regular 2004 box with "EURO" written above it in biro.)
9 - Green grass.
Like many of you we wondered what could be done to improve our previously purple and orange fields and then we came up with the revolutionary idea to introduce green grass into the game. Now you no longer feel you are tripping on acid or need headache pills two minutes after playing.
10 - Play against an opponent!
We saved this feature introduction until last because we knew it would blow your socks off. Yes, that's right, EURO 2004 brings you the ability to play against not only the CPU but also somebody else.

EA are proud of these new cutting edge developments to the game and really feel that we have stepped up a gear and overtaken Konami by a further 4 years with this game. We now believe our gameplay experience and presentation to be approx. 23 years ahead of Konami's. To prove this, our main stadiums in the game will be 'Moon Base Alpha' and 'Red Planet Theatre'.

Enjoy. Remember, "IF IT'S IN THE GAME, CHANCES ARE WE HAVEN'T NOTICED IT!"

lol great stuff the wolf EA its just comic

Wolf do you work for EA? LOL :D

Tristan aka Wolf is pure class :rockman:

LOL, Wolf ur as funny as ****! :funny:

The fake shot was included in RTWC 98 for those that remember it, so its hardly new in the FIFA series.

Wtf? does tristan have two usernames? coz another username Wolf.:confused:

Hilarious stuff :funny: :funny:

If it isn't released in US then I'm definately gonna be pissed. Its already bad enough that they didn't release the game you can use with FIFA 2004 to have Football Fusion in the States, now they might not release Euro 2004 here?? BS! :rolleyes:

Even if it isn't heavily released like FIFA 2004 atleast send half a shipment:rolleyes:

Old?:confused:

Yup. That's the old logo.:)

Pulling aside GamePlay for one moment, I really can't seem to find what is wrong with Beckham face... I mean.... the face doesn't resamble the real Becks 100% (like Zidane's face or Totti's)... but I can't see what's wrong with it... I believe it has something to do with the expression of the face and/or the eyebrows.. but it may also be the cheecks, or mouth, or nose...
I think they should try making it again because such an important player like Beckham should be 100% perfect already.

hey Azrael can u show closer Zizou and Beckhs ?

Its comin on PS2 and prolly should be released at Australia.

Euro 2004 is coming out in Australia, the release date is definately the 7th of May.

I can reveal the official cover of Euro2004

The image you have is the image that is placed in our minds when we look at the cover. We have uncovered their strategy to selling games:crazyboy:

That's a hell cool cover though.

mulder, that is the greatest cover i've ever seen... lol :mrpimp:

lol, i'd drink to that

There are so many features in this game that should have been in Fifa 2004...
I doubt it will be as good as they say it will be...but I am also certain that after one has played this there is just no going back to Fifa 2004 which will feel like a demo.

So...what about everyone who has bought TCm for football fusion, and what about those who would like to use the career mode in Fifa 2004 and play club football?

EA should make it possible to import teams to Euro 2004...or they will have screwed us over one more time.

In fact...if this is not an option which it should be...I´m not gonna buy it. I will download it from the net, and don´t think twice about it.
If they screw me...I´ll screw them back.

Alright...Thats enough of the "Oh mulder, Thats the greatest cover made!" .:rolleyes:

Personally, I think they should FINISH FIFA 2004 before they worry about releasing another half-finished product. :f***:

more details on euro2004 faces:

Great! you gotta keep 'em coming duuuuuude!

what i wonda is about weather and the pitch...if it rains or snows, will the pitch be wet or white?

I hope there are ball effects due to weather. I has a PS2 game called MLS2002(PSE engine for US) and when it's rains the ball would gain speed when it hit the wet pitch on the way to the net. Also the player would slip when trying to break away, and ball would hang on various random puddles, even the goalie sometimes couldn't handle shot and would bounce off his chest in front for an easy tapper in your fowards were able to get to it.

Great. So the game will be released worldwide? I thought it's gonna be released in Europe only :o

Here's the official cover

Did you guys thought EA would lose the chance to make more money releasing only in europe? =)

i know a lot of people who would buy the game who are living in the U.S. I might, i'm a great fifa fan, but i think i can wait till 2005

I have another question is the 12-3 on my yellow card march 12th? or is it december 3rd?

Ronaldinho makes an commercial Spot at Lloret.

http://www.sport.es/media/articles/000000083500/000000083867000000084153.jpg

He will promote a videogame based on eurocup, so he will "be
nearer his partners".

Lloret del Mar beach (Spain) became an improvised tv set
yesterday, in which the star was Ronaldinho Gaucho.

The brazilian crack recorded a videogame commercial
in which gamers can play with any european national team that
will contest next eurocup in portugal.

Ronaldinho, who is an expert in recording these commercials,
performed perfectly all the director's orders.

The player showed delighted 'cause he will promote a
football-based product, which is his passion, and he was
joking about "since i can't play the eurocup, i'll be able to
feel near my partners and play it virtually with this game".

EA are fu**ing amazing, the game is not finished yet and they already proved that they can´t make a soccer game, how is it possible that they call to the stadium of the Dragão "D Alfonso Henriques Stadium"!!!

Canadians making soccer games it´s like Portuguese making ice hockey games.

The Picture that you are seeing is from the "Dragão Stadium" home of the UEFA cup Holder and the next Champions League Winner.

By the way it´s not D. Alfonso but D. Afonso Henriques, show more respect, he was the first portuguese King and not a Spanish King!

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: what the hell?

any new screens or stuff?
(:/)(C)

did ea release a video of the game?!

And here we go again!!

According to the biggest dutch soccer magazine "Voetbal international" EA Sports did NOT get the rights to use the netherlands in Euro 2004.

EA stated that they bought the rights for 100,000 euro from every country, but the dutch fa (KNVB) wanted an ammount of nearly a million.

A Million?
That's darn right ridiculous.
How greedy are the KNVB?

No mate, ummm, actually when they finally do a good game of course I`ll praise `em. Anyway since FIFA 2003 ( which was a major letdown for me ), I never "officially" bought FIFA 2004, after some bad reviews I read from various game magazine and web-sites after they compare it with another game from a certain Japanese company. How do I get FIFA 2004, let`s not talk about it here, cos` it isn`t allowed by the forum rules ;)

Anyway, haven`t seen you doin` any kits or patches for a long time . . . (H) Are you retiring mate ? Or you`re currently just not in the mood ?

Hans, you are a foot fetichist :D :D :D
by the way, I corrected Davids, Vieri and Recoba foot preference for the next version of Big Roster Update ( to be released soon at Fifa CZ )

I understand what you're talkin about there;)

About editing well there are various reasons.Major one being time.I dont have much time on my hands now,I'm bored of making kits,Plus the new guys are doing a great job in making kits.I think at moment no need for me to make kits.:)

BTW I did some 2GA Adboards just for fun...they can be seen at

No, that`s not the point. The point is, Danny Isaac promised us the most accurate databases and authenticity of players` behaviour and asked the fans to tell them about any players real-life behaviour before FIFA 2004 is released just like what they`re doin` now. And he promised it will be made 100 % correctly. Hadn`t he promised me that I wouldn`t give a **** if the foot settings was wrong or the gameplay is still scripted. The problem is they promised that and then they broke it, just like the promise about there`ll be weather affecting the game, but just as fans already pre-ordered their FIFA, they suddenly cancelled the feature, a week before the game is released.

It`s a good thing to have dedicated roster editor like you in the community, but I always wonder, why does amateurs like you, who edits the game simply for fun, can always do 10 times better jobs than EA`s so called "professional" do ? The problem they got a lack of passion and lots of lazyness. What`s worse is that they tell other people to do their job and they still got paid by those who do their job. So what`s their job ? What are the fans payin` them for ?

It's exactly that i think.
I tell that often, when you respect people no for their money you can make a very good game for them.
But EA think only money.
But the problem for them, it's that there is PES this year and they understand that licence and graphics don't make a complete game.
So they want to go leader again, but a lot of people play PES and don't think EA make a simlilar game to PES.
It's their problem today .

Still, given most FIFA players choose the game because they'd rather have instantaneous correct names and sh1t gameplay than awesome gameplay and have to apply a 30 second patch, that really is no surprise!

what if the holland players have generic faces? (this for console users would suck)

All latest screens (the gallery now includes 32 screenshots) can be found at http://www.fifacz.com/download.php?theme=special/euro04_screens

Since the expected date for Euro 2004 to be released is around May 7th, then why can't we have a forum just for Euro2004? And is soccergaming going to have a site only for Euro2004 like the FIFA's? WE NEED MOVIE CLIPS AS WELL!

Why no movies when game comes out in 8 days?:confused:

Because EA doesn't want to release them.
:rolleyes:
Just wait for the fuccking demo.

Yes, but isn't the game in PAL (European) format, meaning it would not play in NTSC (N. America) format consoles. I may be wrong about this, does anyone know for sure if an imported game would work (specifically on Xbox)?

Im sure a converted version will be available within days....Whether or not it will actually work is another question, but you've got to assume that there will be NTSC copies available. And the PC edition will be universal, so you'll at least have something (even if you're not a PC player, get that Joybox thing from Lik-Sang and play with your Xbox controller).

***Que tiempos aquellos…

Creo que todos los que me leen recuerdan aquellas veladas inolvidables de España en los distintos mundiales. Sí, aquellos partidos desesperados para clasificarnos, y justo cuando jugábamos excelente, llegaban los malditos cuartos y nuestra selección se iba a casa. ¿La razón? La presión podía con ellos, y las 15 portadas diarias de algunos periódicos deportivos llamando a España “El mejor equipo del mundo” dinamitaban los ánimos de la hinchada Española. En fin, la cantidad de juegos basados en mundiales servían para vengarnos de la Italia de Tassoti o la Inglaterra de Shearer En estos podías desagraviarte al fin de la porca miseria o de las cantadas de Zubizarreta. Mencionar todos los juegos que salieron de este estilo es muy difícil, aunque con licencia podríamos recorrer todo el espectro de bazofias “Made in USGOLD” que se realizaron para el Spectrum. El primero más conocido seria Italia 90, que tuvo un curioso juego en MegaDrive. A este le siguió el muy flojo USA 94, y ya llego EA a hacer el primer juego de gran calidad con Francia 98.

A partir de aquí la licencia de los mundiales ha permanecido, afortunadamente, en EA, y no hemos vuelto a los tiempos ominosos de US GOLD. Aunque no ha habido mucha evolución de la entrega 98 al 2000 de FIFA, las ediciones mundialistas siempre estaban especialmente bien por incluir los himnos, los estadios oficiales, etc... Hace poco hemos tenido la oportunidad, gracias a Enrique de EA Sports, de probar el juego oficial de la próxima Eurocopa 2004 en su versión PS2. Este tiene la licencia oficial de la Eurocopa de Portugal, y aparte incluye selecciones nacionales no clasificadas, siendo posible crear tu propia Eurocopa a tu gusto. El juego tiene la licencia de todas las camisetas también y aunque la beta probada no mostraba todavía las camisetas oficiales, en la final estarán todas. Al respecto otra beta que pudimos probar, aunque anterior y menos pulida, ya tenia las camisetas, las cuales tenían una definición genial, demostrando el gran nivel en texturas alcanzado por EA en PlayStation 2.


***Mejoras audiovisuales

El apartado técnico en esta versión está a un gran nivel, estando todos los jugadores excelentemente representados y los estadios rayando la perfección. Estos son reproducciones exactas de sus homónimos en la Eurocopa y dan al juego un toque realista que hará al jugador sentir como nunca este acontecimiento futbolístico. Las animaciones, a diferencia de otros juegos, no son nada repetitivas y el sistema de colisiones es absolutamente magnifico, habiéndose perfeccionado desde la versión 2004 de FIFA. En cuanto al apartado sonoro podemos ver algunos nombres conocidos como Nelly Furtado o diversos DJs en boga. Los FX son de gran calidad, y los comentarios siguen a cargo de la pareja de la Cadena SER, Lama y González. En cuanto a los cánticos de las aficiones, que tanto gustaron, se mantienen y podemos oír muchos conocidos (el clásico “España ra-ra-ra”, popularizado por Manolo el del Bombo, está presente).

Los distintos modos de juego son: “Euro 2004”, el torneo de la Eurocopa oficial con posibilidad de seleccionar cualquier equipo nacional e incluso los jugadores de este (al estilo de Clemente), este modo incluye también un nuevo sistema de moral (para que la selección española se hunda, irremediablemente, en cuartos) y las sanciones pertinentes; “Ida y vuelta”, un enfrentamiento en el estadio propio y en el de fuera entre dos selecciones; “Fantasía”, creación un DreamTeam con los mejores jugadores del mundo; “Situación”, un modo en el que se pueden decidir las situaciones del partido (marcador, táctica, tiempo restante, etc...), al estilo de ISS64 y por último “Torneo”, donde se pueden crear campeonatos personalizados de todo tipo. Sin duda es el más grande plantel de modos que cualquier juego mundialista basado en una licencia haya tenido, por lo que será muy difícil aburrirse con el juego.


***Pequeños cambios jugables y apogeo de la simulación

Respecto a la jugabilidad, los controles al primer toque, la física de la pelota y sobre todo la I.A. están retocados respecto a FIFA 2004. Esto mantiene el aspecto simulador de juego y lo hace un rival muy serio frente a Pro Evolution Soccer, manteniendo el gran cambio de la pasada entrega. Se han añadido aparte 10 movimientos de habilidad en el stick analógico derecho, que van desde un amago simple a pequeños caños. Por supuesto los jugadores con mejor técnica son capaces de hacer movimientos muy complejos, de acuerdo con su calidad. También los pases en profundidad, quizás el gran fallo de la versión 2004, han mejorado bastante y se han incluido 2 nuevos pases. Las vaselinas sufren algunos adelantos, sobre todo gracias al perfeccionamiento físico de la pelota, la cual hace posibles detectar el esférico mucho más fácilmente, algo que era un tanto difícil en la anterior versión. Todo ello posibilita que los tiros, chilenas, etc... funcionen bastante mejor, y por ello es muchísimo más difícil marcar gol, ya que los porteros detectan la pelota de manera más eficiente.

Así la jugabilidad ha sido bastante mejorada, y aunque mantiene todos los adelantos de Fifa 2004 (off the ball incluido), los añadidos se notan muchísimo. Los bloqueos de pelota de los jugadores son mucho más frecuentes, y por ello el juego resulta mucho más brusco como es el fútbol en la realidad. En el FIFA 2004, todavía había posibilidad de marcar algún gol mediante un pase largo, ahora esto es imposible ya que las defensas funcionan mejor, En los partidos que jugamos Enrique y yo, el resultado más frecuente era el empate a 0. Lo que demuestra que el giro simulador de FIFA, está ya casi completo y el antiguo toque Arcade de la versión 98 ha desaparecido por completo. Quizás esto sea contraproducente para todos aquellos que se siente huérfanos de juegos Arcade de Futbol, y más con el naufragio del último Virtua Striker, pero, el mercado ha virado totalmente a la simulación pura con el éxito de Pro Evolution Soccer y la versión 2004 de FIFA. Con lo cual es muy difícil que a corto plazo puedan volver los juegos de fútbol al estilo Super Sidekicks, así que nos conformaremos con estos, geniales por otra parte, juegos de fútbol estrictamente simulador.


***Todas, todas las licencias

Como hemos dicho antes, Eurocopa 2004 es el juego oficial, así se conservan las licencias, camisetas y se han añadido los himnos (de hecho pudimos oír la marcha granadera, el himno nacional español) como suele ser habitual las ediciones mundialistas. Es sorprendente además ver el logo de cada selección, la perfecta reproducción se las camiseta y el parecido casi total entre los jugadores virtuales y los reales. Todos los nombres de los jugadores son los reales, y las estadísticas de ellos están lo suficientemente ajustadas como para ser reales. Aún así y para no permitir que el juego sea fácil con un equipo de súper-estrellas (léase Francia), el sistema de moral hace especialmente difícil por la propia presión que el rendimiento de los jugadores sea al 100%. Eso sin duda representa fielmente lo que supone jugar una competición deportiva de alto nivel, en la cual un equipo se juega tanto.


***Conclusión

El camino andado por EA desde FIFA 94 está asentándose en el mejor rendimiento de sus franquicias, atrás quedaron los tiempos de secuelas iguales entre si. Ahora entre cada FIFA hay un abismo de mejoras y modos nuevos que justifican la compra, sin duda el camino que debía haber seguido esta saga desde hace tiempo. Esperando que podamos hacer con la selección española todo lo que ésta no hará en el mundial, me despido. Sólo añadir que el juego se lanza el 5 de Mayo en las tres plataformas de 128 bits, y es posible que tenga alguna versión portátil.

theres f 50's on them

and kind of cross between manias and pulses

*** That times those?

I believe that all those that read to me remember those different unforgettable evenings of Spain in the world-wide ones. Yes, those desperate parties to classify to us, and right when we played excellent, arrived the damn quarters and our selection went away to house. The reason? The pressure could with them, and the 15 daily covers of some sport newspapers calling to Spain?El better equipment of the world? they dynamited the spirits of the Spanish fan. In short, the amount of games based on world-wide served to take revenge us of Italy de Tassoti or England de Shearer In these you could desagraviarte to the aim of porca misery or the sung ones of Zubizarreta. To mention all the games that left this style is very difficult, although with license we could cross all the phantom of leftovers?Made in USGOLD? that they were made for the Spectrum. The first more serious well-known Italy 90, that had a peculiar game in MegaDrive. This it followed the very loose USA to him 94, and I already get EA to match first of great quality with France 98.

From the license of the world-wide ones it has remained here, luckyly, in EA, and we have not returned to the ominous times of U.S. GOLD. Although there has not been much evolution of delivery 98 to the 2000 of FIFA, the mundialistas editions always were about to to include the official hymns, stages specially well, etc... Recently we have had the opportunity, thanks to Enrique of EA Sports, to prove the official game of next Eurocopa 2004 in its version PS2. This it has the official license of the Eurocopa of Portugal, and separate it includes not classified national selections, being possible to create your own Eurocopa to your pleasure. The game also has the license of all the t-shirts and although the proven beta still did not show the official t-shirts, in the end will be all. On the matter another beta that we could prove, although previous and less polished, already tapeworm the t-shirts, which had a brilliant definition, demonstrating the great level in textures reached about EA in PlayStation 2.


*** audio-visual Improvements

The technical section in this version is at a great level, being all the players excellently represented and the stages bordering the perfection. These are exact reproductions of their homónimos in the Eurocopa and give to the game a realistic touch that the player will make never feel like this soccer event. The animations, unlike other games, are not nothing repetitive and the system of collisions is absolutely I magnify, having itself perfected from FIFA version 2004. As far as the sonorous section we can see some known names as Nelly diverse Furtado or DJs in rows. The FX are of great quality, and the commentaries follow in charge of the pair of the Chain TO BE, Lama and González. As far as the cánticos of the likings, that as much pleased, they stay and we can hear many well-known (classic?España ra-ra-ra, popularized by Manolo the one of the Big drum, he is present).

The different ways from game are: ?Euro 2004, the match of the official Eurocopa with possibility even of selecting to any national equipment and the players of this (in the style of Merciful), this way also includes a new system of moral (so that the Spanish selection sinks, irremediably, in quarters) and the pertinent sanctions; ?Ida and returned, a confrontation in the own stage and the one of outside between two selections; ?Fantasía, creation a DreamTeam with the best players of the world; ?Situación, a way in that the situations of the party (marking, tactical, remaining time can be decided, etc...), in the style of?Torneo ISS64 and finally, where customized championships of all type can be created. Without a doubt it is the greatest establishment of ways that any mundialista game based on a license has had, reason why will be very difficult to become bored with the game.


*** Small gameplay changes and apogee of the simulation

With respect to the jugabilidad, the controls to the first touch, the physics of the ball and mainly the I.A. are altered with respect to FIFA 2004. This maintains the game aspect simulator and very serious front to Pro Evolution Soccer does a rival, maintaining the great change of the passed delivery. 10 movements of ability in stick have been added aside analogical straight, that go from a simple threat to small sewers. Of course the players with better technique are able to make movements very complex, in agreement with their quality. Also you pass them in depth, perhaps the great failure of version 2004, have improved enough and they have themselves including 2 new ones you happen. Petroleum jellies undergo some advances, mainly thanks to the physical improvement of the ball, which does possible to much more detect the ball easily, something that was somewhat difficult in the previous version. All it makes possible that the shots, Chileans, etc... work rather better, and for that reason it is very many more difficult to mark goal, since the doormen detect the ball of more efficient way.

Thus the jugabilidad enough has been improved, and although it maintains all the advances of Fifa 2004 (off the ball including), the added ones notice very many. The blockades of ball of the players are much more frequent, and for that reason the game is much more abrupt as it is soccer in the reality. In FIFA 2004, still there was possibility of marking some goal by means of passes length, now this is impossible since the defenses work better, In the parties that I played Enrique and, the most frequent result was the tie to 0. What demonstrates that the simulator turn of FIFA, is already almost complete and the old Arcade touch of version 98 has disappeared completely. Perhaps this is counter-productive for all those that feel like orphans of games Arcade de Futbol, and more with the shipwreck of the last Virtua Striker, but, the market has turned totally to the pure simulation with the success of Pro Evolution Soccer and version 2004 of FIFA. With which it is very difficult that in the short term they can return the games from soccer to the Super style Sidekicks, so we will be satisfied to these, brilliant on the other hand, games of strictly simulator soccer.


*** All, all the licenses

Since we have said before, Eurocopa 2004 is the official game, therefore the licenses, t-shirts are conserved and the hymns have been added (in fact we could hear the granadera march, the Spanish national anthem) as usually he is habitual mundialistas editions. He is surprising in addition to see the logo of each selection, the perfect reproduction the t-shirt and the almost total similarity between the virtual players and the real ones. All the names of the players are the real ones, and the statistics of them are sufficiently fit like being real. Even so and not to allow that the game is easy with an equipment of super-you star (léase France), the moral system makes specially difficult by the own pressure that the yield of the players is to the 100%. That without a doubt faithfully represents what supposes to play a sport competition of high level, in which an equipment gambles as much.


*** Conclusion

The way walked by EA from FIFA 94 is being based in the best yield of its tax exemptions, back were left the times of equal sequels between if. Now between each FIFA there are a new abyss of improvements and ways that justify the purchase, without a doubt the way that must have followed this saga a long time ago. Hoping that we pruned to do with the Spanish selection everything what this one will not do in the world-wide one, I take leave. To only add that the game sends the 5 of May in the three platforms of 128 bits, and is possible that has some portable version.

so EAs this year manage to get Copyrights? :o

Well, the knees look a lot better compared to FIFA 2004, but that's not really difficult.

I hope the gameplay will be improved too, I see the overhead kick is back agian:).

No demo? The game is expected to be released in May 7... i think.

you see bad graphics on screenshots? ..and i think that
gameplay can't be seen on them.. so, why old crap?

Anyone seen a stadium list for the game?

it should include the 10 stadiums that will host games in the tournament and some famous european stadiums;) ;)

You heard if the Millenium stadium will be on there?

It probably is going to be released in the U.S, if EA are releasing it in Australia.

Hey dude, thanks.:rockman:

the video looks good!nice new moves and boots!:D

i think its a bad video not better then fifa2004 and look when beckham kicks the ball it looks not like beckham or??????Its not his style to kick them naja scheiss auf ea

I think they should bring back the bicycle kick..... How are you not able to bike it in FIFA 04? Cmon EA.

Bicycle kick is back in EURO 2k4....look at the movie...

I cant download it...Is it just me? Nothing pops up when i click on Download Mirror 1. Eh? Anyone have another dl location yet?

if you are using google toolbar, then just hold the crtl key for a few seconds while clicking on the mirror link..
or see if you're using a pop-up blocker and disable it for a few moments until you're done with the pop-up page..

otherwise, I'm sorry !!
