After playing FIFA2003, there are some things I would really wish to have in FIFA2004.
1)Separate sensitive movements from the same button - for eg. when headers and goalkeeper charges are the same, how would you defend a corner? Your goalkeeper will always punch the ball if you try to head. Other options are to execute the scissors kick/bicycle kick to clear the ball. Controlling the ball down will only make you lose the ball....so, pls separate the sensitive movements from the same button.
2)More tricks - for eg. encourage the use of 2 analog stick gamepads. Left for movement, Right stick, all 4 main directions + left stick movements, when executed near players will execute 4 different tricks. 2 to 3 for less versatile players, up to 4 general AND individual tricks for star players.
3)Simplified controls - When ball in air, pressing short pass will deliver a short volley pass, pressing long pass will deliver a volley clearance, pressing shoot will execute volley shot. Double long pass and direction, will cause scissors kick, bicycle kick PASSES. Double shoot and direction, will cause scissors kick, bicycle kick SHOTS. Header buttons can still exist.
4)Freekick Meter to appear at ALL freekicks. And brign back the option of pinpointing a person to pass to. Short pass will bypass the meter...long pass will pass towards person, strength of the meter will decide accuracy. Swerve will decide the person receiving ball's RUNS. All of moderate height in accoradance to strength of meter. Goalkeepers can still remain unchange.
5)Movement of goalkeepers should be better. Now, they look dumb trying to punch the ball to midfield line, or charge out when the attack is ard the edge of the box! Plus if headers are made, it should at least show two ppl heading, instead of one person being pushed to the ground all the time. Can script it that if the player is fouled, he will fall over during headers. Otherwise, the current sequence of frames showing 2 ppl heading is so dumb.
That's mainly the changes I would like to see. FIFA2003 is rather buggy and hopefully, things will change. FOR THE BETTER!!!
