Actually highlights has been implemented on FIFA 97, but then they took it away for FIFA 98 ( the very first sign that they have a bad habit taking away cool features . . . ), unlike Konami who added more cool feature everytime they release a new game without taking one, EA tend to give one cool new feature but taking two cool feature from the previous serie away.

FIFA 2003 - is there any hope?

This news was taken from EA SPORTS' FIFA Football 2003 Website.
There are certain rituals that have become synonymous with football, such as parading the team’s colours, meeting with friends for a pre-match chat and buying a programme. However, none are so unified and as intimidating to the opposing team as singing along to your clubs chants. An army of tens of thousands of supporters making known vocally their love for the club is a truly integral part of the football culture.
The FIFA Football Development team have identified this as an area they see of adding great value to the new EA Sports title.
To fully capture the local spirit and culture, the FIFA Audio team in collaboration with www.soccergaming.com, have tirelessly been on a European tour in the past couple of months. In each port of call (England, France, Spain, Germany & Italy) numerous audio sessions have been taking place with the fans so they can make their voice heard in game. The results have been filtering back in to the team and they are confident that they will create some truly hair-raising audio on a much larger scale for FIFA Football 2004.
EA SPORTS would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended the chant sessions. Inparticular Lior Fengas, Fabio "Rimo" Rimoldini, Christian Rojo Garcia and Daniel Kaltenthaler who spent many hours helping EA contact the chanters themselves. Scroll to the bottom of this page for a list of those who attended, along with some photos from the sessions.
The FIFA Audio team have let us get our hands on three of the chants in MP3 format. This will give you a good idea of the quality of the recordings, and the emphasis EA SPORTS are putting on creating a truly realistic football experience in FIFA Football 2004.
That`s the article I`ve copied and pasted from SG. Look at the last paragraph, a complete joke isn`t it ? I mean, do they really read our wishlist ? I know, I know some asked for more chants, but almost the majority asked for a better gameplay, an improved AI, an ability to head the ball for God`s sake. They can add the chant later when the essential stuffs finished, there`s no need doing a research for it. The core of every game is gameplay, a friendly control, that is the reason why whenever we try a new game, we always look to the control section and to remap the button as we like. EA didn`t even give a button remapping in FIFA 2003, how can they forget essential things like that ??? THOSE THINGS ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT TUNE DOES THE CROWD SING "GLORY, GLORY MAN UTD " !!!!!!!!

More chants are probably the only thing EA can do to improve the game. Gotta understand, EA's got a totally different aproach to realism. Bet there's a big crowd out there who are really excited about having more chants anyway.
So, you're wondering, 'what about Gameplay???'.
Yeah right, they already think its better than WE/PES. Just hope it's less buggy.

maybe we should all petition FIFA and tell them that EA is making a mockery of their license and using it for the sole purpose of financial gain at the expense of peoples loyalty to the game...personally the only reason i was ever interested in the EA games FIFA series was cause of the added reality to play with 'real' players,leagues and stadiums etc...technically most other football games out there are better than FIFA gameplay wise and to me they deserve a shot at the licence...then to all you EA 'mommy little boys' then you shall see a game like winning eleven take the market by storm...and another thing EA put far more effort into Amercian sports cause they can't disappoint their amercian customers,but since they make more than enough money from the rest of the world from the FIFA series they can give us any horsedung and we'll gladly lap it up...i bought Simcity 4(buggy game)...but its already been patched twice and also had lots of downloads avaible in its first 3 months...and on the Simcity forum they have actual 'live' EA people moderating...the question is when we going to get a patch or something from EA for Fifa 2003...maybe in FIFA 2004????...it also seems to me that they do come to this forum and read...then they take the ideas and maybe pass it through some 12 year old kid in Indiana who then says "nah I don't like it"...then thats the end of that...ok i feel better now getting that off my chest
