    Easy way to check if EA has changed its ways

    You don't have to play it extensively. Just play the game, fiddle a bit with the settings and check for bugs that wouldn't have been there had the game been tested properly. If you find those kind of silly bugs, you know the game has been rushed into the store before it was finished.

    Easy way to check if EA has changed its ways

    Oh, and not to forget of course: you can't substitute during half-time or free kicks. And that's what I mean by games feeling unfinished: it's impossible that the developers of Euro 2004 didn't know these little bugs were there. It's not that Euro 2004 is a bad game, it's just that it could...

    Easy way to check if EA has changed its ways

    Yup. When I change formation during the game, or sometimes even in the pre-game menu, either the formation does not change or the players are positioned wrong. This is especially frustrating when a player is sent off. I do like to stress that in my opinion Euro 2004 is a big improvement...

    Easy way to check if EA has changed its ways

    Oh I didn't know that, I didn't play the demo. However, if you just play one game of FIFA/Euro and check for the silly bugs that occur in every FIFA/Euro edition, you know whether this game is really different from its predecessors or not. Really, it's a very handy way to determine if EA has...

    Easy way to check if EA has changed its ways

    There's been a bug in FIFA since 2002: the game keeps mixing up formations and player's positions. Being unable to watch what's happening at the bottom of the screen when you've substituted a player is another age-old bug. These are bugs that appear in every EA FIFA/Euro version at least since...

    What Tha **** Is happened

    Run dxdiag, if it keeps crashing or saying there's a problem re-install directx. If that doesn't work, uninstall fifa, re-install directx and re-install fifa. Worked for me more than once. Other option: uninstall your nvidia driver and (re)install the latest driver.

    What Tha **** Is happened

    It's not the video card and it's not the cpu. I have exactly the same video card, an even slower cpu and the game's playable. And besides, games don't crash because of a system that's too slow, certainly not when minimum requirements are met (600 mhz, 32mb video memory, 64mb ram, directx8.1 and...

    Stop the WHINING get to PLAYING!

    Well, some people do care. If you don't like a thread, don't read it. Live and let live. And please, please do something about your caps lock key.

    What Tha **** Is happened

    Well, I have exactly the same video card (AMD 800, 384mb ram, Win 98) and on my computer the menu is extremely slow as well. However, with anisotropic filtering turned off (settings -> control panel -> display -> advanced -> GeForce) in-game speed is acceptable in 1024x768x32 mode. If you got...

    Stop the WHINING get to PLAYING!

    Too late now. Although I definitely won't buy 2005 before I know what other people think of it. If it's as buggy as this version, I cetainaly won't buy it, thank you. I just can't believe so many people just accept being sold a game that's not finished. You know what? I think the programmers...

    Stop the WHINING get to PLAYING!

    Do you have any idea how complex it is to build a car? It's darn complex, let me tell you. I don't know much about building cars (just about nothing, to be more precise), but I do know it's complicated. And that's why I pay people to make cars for me, instead of trying to make one myself. Not...

    Why not vote for it?

    Re: Re: Why not vote for it? Them's EA, yes. And I'm afraid your right. But maybe it's worth a try. People are more satisfied than I expected, by the way. Quite a lot of people that rated it a 10. I wonder what rating they'd give to a finished and properly tested game ;)

    Invisible Players?

    I had exactly the same problem. This is what happened. I'm playing with PSV Eindhoven. Robben, left forward, receives a pass from Van Bommel, passes through to Kezman (centre forward) and Kezman scores. A few minutes later, this happens. My left defender gets a red card. I change...

    Why not vote for it?

    22 people think FIFA 2004 is the best game ever?!?! Fishy indeed.

    Why not vote for it?

    So many people complaining... Maybe a vote will show them how we really feel. I voted a 3.

    FIFA 2004 Bugs and things to be fixed

    A few other things that weren't mentioned yet (I believe): * The European Champions League in Career Mode. Randomly select groups instead of sorting them by nationality. For crying out loud, making random selections is what programmers learn right after they've mastered "Hello World". *...

    screen goes black then back to desktop

    Same problem here. Duron 800 384 mb RAM GeForce 2 MX400 (nVidia driver 4.14.0001.4201) Win 98 SE DirectX 9.0b Oh, and by the way, the uninstall doesn't do anything.

    Ddhelp Error !!!! Help Me People !

    Reinstalling Windows will work for sometime. Then, out of the blue, the error will be back. Getting over it and never buying games from EA Sports again is the best remedy, I guess.

    All Fifa 2003 Bugs

    Just uninstalled 2003 (manually, because the uninstaller didn't work) and reinstalled 2002. That's a lot of good money going down the drain. Most of the goals are being made because the defenders are just standing and looking at the opponent walking towards the goal and shooting. The 1-2 pass...

    Ddhelp Error !!!! Help Me People !

    I'm having the same problem. Everything went fine, until I installed the creation centre: FIFA2003 kicked back to the desktop from that moment on. I've uninstalled the CC, wielded the dll's associated with it (because, ofcourse, the uninstaller didn't do a fine job) and reinstalled FIFA2003...
