Pretty scathing, I guess the guy's entitled to his opinion, and he has some valid points, but I'd suggest he hasn't played it long enough to get past the "Frustration phase" of not winning in the beginning.
I bought the game, enjoy it still, I think it's the best FIFA yet, but it doesn't rock my world, I guess. But it's a video game and I have expectations. I do agree with his point about the computer's attacking regimen, but I can appreciate how difficult the AI must be to program.
However, this **** with flogging EA Canada has to stop. The producers are European, it draws on a world of talent to program, etc. Everyone thinks EA needs to be headquarted in some soccer-crazed nation for it to improve. Which is crap. There are four hotbeds for video game development - Canada, the United States, Japan and the UK. For people to squawk about the game being made by Portugese or Hungarians is laughable to me. They're just shooting at shadows.
That's my opinion, anyway.

I don't understand all because i'm french but it's a just review for the gameplay.
I post 2 or 3 messages to tell you that a cpu gameplay is poor, not various and this article confirm that i say.
If we don't move this year , it will probably we have the same problem with FIFA 2005. Remember you that since Fifa 2003 EA promise us the revolution, where is it?
They must know that we are the buyer, and not a bird or something else.

You're french? You couldn't tell 
My mommy told me that i can be anything i want to be as long as i try hard enough 
I think the gameplay is not bad. Actually I think its better than 2003. So I can't relate with the author's feelings about this subject. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion (so I dont need some online mag to tell me what to not to buy - I'm a big boy now).
What I did find strange was the overall score which he gave of 56. If I remember my grade school math... 80 + 91 +69 +35 = 275, lets see, carry the 1 and divide by 4 should give an overall score of 69. So unless there is some new math going arround I am not familiar with, the overall score should be 69. We used to call this an average score. My point, you expect me to take this seriously? Please... like we need another I hate FIFA 2004 thread
