EA the most importand things to be fixed for fifa 2003

Don't invent another complete different game for fifa 2003. Just fix the game play of WC 2002 and call it Fifa 2003, it’s that simple. The fans had enough posts for you to read and you to manage to fix them. The most important area is the 'GAME PLAY'. The graphics are amazing.

1) Most of the time my midfielder has the ball in the center line and he is alone against 4-5 opposite players. I want support from my player(s), I need to pass the ball ya know. FIX THAT.

2) When I cross or take a corner kick for a header I want to see my player to jump and challenge for the air ball against the defense player. Most of the time I won't see any challenge at all from my forward player, the defensemen just clears it out with a header. FIX THAT.

3) Take out the super human headers. FIX IT.

4) The ball sticks to their feet, we as football fans don't want to see that. SO FIX IT.

5) When the ball is in the air just psyches me out. I think the ball has too much of airtime. When I boot the ball for a long pass the ball seems going to the right but instead lands on the left. FIX THAT TOO.

6) Take out the drunken talking.

7) The feature that we as football fans want badly 'hand balls'

8) Another feature that we are crazy about 'shirt grabbing'

9) WC 2002 has a great player pushing feature, but non of them are been called fouls. Some of the pushing depending needs to be called a foul. FIX THAT.

10) I noticed so did everyone else when a player shoots it kind of curls in to the net. I don't want to see that, I want to control my shots how much they will curl in to the net. FIX THAT.

11) When are we going to be able to take low blasting shots and net the ball in?

12) When are we going to be able to control my player's header to which direction to be headed? I don't want to see my player to head only forward direction all the time. Just like in ISS Pro when the ball is in the air coming at my player and I want to head the ball to my right softly and land that ball right front of my player. THATS JUST A CLASS.

13) I will post for more what’s to be fixed later.

I’d like to add some comments.

I’d like to add some comments.

1. Most of the time my midfielder has the ball in the center line and he is alone against 4-5 opposite players. I want support from my player(s), I need to pass the ball ya know. FIX THAT.
- it certainly depends on the formation and tactic
2. When I cross or take a corner kick for a header I want to see my player to jump and challenge for the air ball against the defense player. Most of the time I won't see any challenge at all from my forward player, the defensemen just clears it out with a header. FIX THAT.
- should be fixed, or at least explained. As far as I’ve understood it depends on the new feature AIRPLAY.
3. Take out the super human headers. FIX IT.
- that MUST be first one
4. The ball sticks to their feet, we as football fans don't want to see that. SO FIX IT.
- it could be a little bit adjusted by yourself (ini.big), also mostly depends on the player’s skill
5. When the ball is in the air just psyches me out. I think the ball has too much of airtime. When I boot the ball for a long pass the ball seems going to the right but instead lands on the left. FIX THAT TOO.
- u can fix it by yourself
6. Take out the drunken talking.
- already done
7. The feature that we as football fans want badly 'hand balls'
- that could be funny, even ISS Pro Evo didn’t do it (as my point – not necessary)
8) Another feature that we are crazy about 'shirt grabbing'
- as my point – not necessary, but could be funny
9) WC 2002 has a great player pushing feature, but non of them are been called fouls. Some of the pushing depending needs to be called a foul. FIX THAT.
- there is no pushing feature, only 2-types tackling. IF EA add this feature, it’ll call a foul.
10) I noticed so did everyone else when a player shoots it kind of curls in to the net. I don't want to see that, I want to control my shots how much they will curl in to the net. FIX THAT
- u can fix it by yourself
11) When are we going to be able to take low blasting shots and net the ball in?
- shot softly. It’s more accuracy
13) I will post for more what’s to be fixed later.
- we shall see
So, if we close our left eye - there is only one bad things – SUPERMANHEADER.
Personally, I’d like to see the deference between teams playing, but if u play with human opponent it rules.

I agree with you (first sorry for my english) I want add some things.
1)Fix the keepers. More intelligence and more real movements and reactions by them.(FIX when in some crosses or lob passes with effects the keepers goes to anywere):
2)In shoulder to shoulder charge please mark fouls.The cpu dont make any foul, we must change the gameplay for this. Is unfair. EA lives in FAIRPLAYLAND???.
3)Corners and free kicks with more players.
4) The movement off the ball is very important.
5)The drunken tackles are good but sometimes, not always fall the players.
6)More variance by the cou to get the goal.Cpu play like robot. More pausses by cpu players to think your plays. Different strategies in the same match depending the result (the cpu must change if loose or win or tie).No more so many playback passes. the cpu must tyr trough passes (to run for the ball not stick balls in the feet) and of coures make mistakes.
7)Changes by the cpu. Not only when the player have a lesion.
8)Please the heading shot!! Its impossible in the rival box.
9)Clearence out of filed when the player is under pressure.
10)MORE FOULS, MORE FOULS BY THE CPU.
11)Mstakes by the referees and linesmans.
12)More realistic offsides.If we take on CPUOFFSIDE the players go to the box and wait too much time.
13) Any changes in the ini file make batter some things and make bad anothers.
14) More realistics possitions of the players in the fields.
15)Come back the 3 strategies like fifa2001 and traps.
16)Diffenrents styles of plays to diferents teams. Its not the same Brazil vs Qatar.
17)More realistic fatigue and lesions.
18)With 1 cpu the possibility of choose 2 or more diferents teams to play like fifa2001.
19)Keepers more intelligence and please keepers make penaltys in the real match.!!!
20)Is true the graphics are amazing but the soul of this game is the gameplay, please fix them.

I hope any chance of EA listening to us, but i dont see any change for us. The changes are in the graphic part and we have over the world excelents editors.

Please EA listening to us. We buy your game and we are millons of fans.

I forget this:
More realistic values of the players.Zidane is a good player but is not God. Claudio López is a STAR PLAYER??? And Batistuta, Cannigia??? England have all the team like France with STAR PLAYERS and its true they are a good players but too many in this teams and a few in the others like Brazil and not realistic.
And more shots over the bar, catch by the keepers, rebounds by the keeper, miis his target and less hits in the post and bar and less shots in the angles so perfects. More real shots by the cpu and style of play.
And if EA fix the headers please head shots over the bar like in real match.

Bye.

No chance!

Ea Sports never listen to any feedback from users, that's one of the things that makes them unique! Other software houses welcome suggestions and try to patch and update accordingly. EA do nothing. While the FIFA series lacks any serious competition on the PC they will never make the effort required to release a seriously good soccer game. They may rule when it comes to football, basketball and ice hockey games but you have to remember there are good competition titles out there to keep EA on it's feet.

The very fact Ea have left in stupid freaking headers that spoil the game proves they don't adequately test the games enough. EA don't give two ounces of dog crap about our opinion, that's very sad but totally true.

(And ba7787, before you respond to this posting with another one of your pathetic childish postings along the lines of "EA are the best" or "I'm gonna buy 4 copies" please try and put together some kind of supporting argument if your small brain allows it!)

I'll give you guys some free advise, since you've spent good money on this hideous disfigured game that diminishes all football stands for, FIX IT !! and don't buy the next cheap bull that EA sells. If FIFA2003 gets 0 sales worldwide, they'll be forced to fix all those, and make something that actually looks like football.

and who said graphics are good? You've gotta be joking. The horrendous unlifelike animations, coupled with bad motion capture, robotic movements, shiny heads, demonic expressions and miniature shoulders with oversized mellons, the graphics are about as bad as I've seen.

Hey man we have no choice, we have to buy the game, we don't have Playstation to play that konami game. If Konami hits their game to PC platform than EA is in trouble.

I'm not dissing you guys, I know you have to make the most of it, but it doesn't mean you have to praise a bad product solely because it's the only one available.

Sorry if I sounded insulting..
