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.

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 .

Yeah, it'll be a freaking nightmare for FIFA players to actually spend 2 minutes editing the names of the Dutch team rather than having them typed out already for them. 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!

Does anybody know if Wales is to be included in the Euro 2004 game?? I know they haven't qualified but seeing as they made it to the play off does anyone know if they'll be included??

I've heard they haven't been included in previous games because of financial reasons like Holland now but if anyones knows, let me know.. nice
