Release of CC 2004

When will the creation centre be released?

No release date yet, all we know it's after the game release so just wait news mate

The game is released isn't it?

yes it is.. and btw last year i remember that the creation center was realeased before the game had hit the shelves!

yeah, and even before that we knew stuff about it, i do not know anything about this upcoming CC, for all i know, it could be a while before we see it.

it's soon guys, let's just wait, ha? I mean, we managed to wait for FIFA 2004 for like a year now, I think we can wait a week or two for the CC

i dont mind waitin 4 it, be im sure wed liek to know some news about it though.

yeah, I've asked a mate in EA Sports, if we are getting any info about it.... he hasn't replyed yet...

I think the Creation Center for 2003 was released a bit later too. I hope they take this time to rid any bugs and make it better.

FIFA 2003 was in shops on October 25, 2002
CC was released on October 31, 2002

Has it been released, Lukas?

I don't think it will be any creation center.

But I suspect that maybe the connection with Fifa Total Manager will make it possible somehow to export new teams and new players in to Fifa 2003.
I don't know for sure but that is what I think will happen next.

It will make EA richer anyway

But I hope I am wrong and that there will be a Creation Center

You better be wrong. I just deleted my FIFA 2003 user folder yesterday, it was 30 megs and taking up space.

Maybe there will be a CC but not before the TCM is released. That's just normal marketing. People will buy the TCM because of the Football Fusion and because they can edit the mess EA did in FIFA. If they'd release a single CC before TCM, there will probably be less people buying the manager game.

btw when will TCM be out? december? I bet there will be a tool from those guys at Socceraccess or ECP before EA releases something to help us out. Actually I'm waiting for FCDB XP 2004, because there hasn't been a better tool the last years...

Ominous Omission

Last year's game referred to the CC in the manual but there is no such mention of it for FIFA 2004.
This tempts me into thinking that it will be later rather than sooner....

That's a good point. They want us to buy TCM. But they have a lot to prove if they want people to move from CM to TCM. The user interfaces of the last release were awful. The training system was too confuse. Why is it so difficult for those who develop these games to ship a simple tool for editing the player database?

I do agree that FCDB XP was the best tool over the last years. But that bug in FCDB XP 2002 that corrupted the dbi files made me think twice before allocating time to FIFA editing.

i don't know guys... this was something that was definitely promised, they even wanted our insight on what they should add in the cc. if they break this promise, i won't let them punk me around like that and i'll just buy konami's game which has the editing option (better) and included.

Issue of priority (IMO). CC could've been delayed by the first patch, or perhaps a second patch in the making.

Well we've been promised a dynamic weather , but instead no weather at all.

And we've been promised a better creation center, but instead...

you do the math!


(seriously now, I don't know if there's going to be a Creation center. But I wouldn't trust EA just because it promised it!)

TCM 2004

I got a TCM 2004 Demo but I don´t find any creating/editing players options...is it possible EA has removed it??(considering the DirectIP/Controller Setting affair everything is possible)
where is was last year??
