FIFA 2004 Wishlist

[Iggy]

Nick, i said that there will be NOT FIFA 2004... And, i said that FIFA project is shutting down...
Anyway, i heard that is possible that new football game from EA-Sports will not have FIFA license... That are all unofficial news, but it is possible. And, if there will be not FIFA license, EA must make major improvments...

 

[FRED is BACK]

wISHLIST nATIONWIDE LEAGUES,
GAMEPLAY FINE
INTERNATIONAL CALL UPS
EASIER TO WORK AND PLAY
NOT SUCH HIGH SPECIFICATIONS

 

[dipbhattacharya]

thanks for the chance......

3 things EA MUST MUST include are.........

1. Creation centre inside the PACK....no download PLZ.


2. WING BACKS and WING MIDFIELDERS in the formation.

3. 1-2 passes MUST be returned.


otherwise its a wonderful game.....few things to improve...



******FORMATION********

1. bring back the formation modes like 2002.

*******PLAYERS**********

1. bring back the FIFA2002 attributes ....like captain arm band.etc

2. How about gloves and anklets...few players may be distinguished from other...

*******ENVIRONMENT**********

1. diff types of pitch texture
and colur and lights in field ..

2. MAKE diff texture, diff shades of green and even gray
pitch in asia and africa.

3. How about diff color of nets......


***********GAMEPLAY**************

1.Make it harder ......just like worldcup 2002.

u realize there are users who have to play

with computer all alone.

2. bring back all deffensive actions and headers likewc2002.

3. Deffence AI is awful....sidebacks never comes inside..check it out plz.

4.How about timing the header.....make a power bar to indicate

the amount of spot jump a player will make.......blink a pointer

just before he is in perfect position to head and remove ....thus user missing the the timming will misshead...



5. Make two option in LOB button...pressing it a little will cause

low hard cross and pressing more will cause wide cross.

*********STYLE**********

1. GOOD players use out steps to control.......look at it.



***********CELEBRATION***********


:Bow: this is the area where u have to work............

Best thimg to me is let the user celebrate a goal as

diff button will indicate diff mode of celebration( shirt-off must )

Follow VIVA football on this issue.


***********CAMERA**********

1. changing camera Zoom and hieght.

2. There should a option to select whether usuer want close

or normal view after goal or fouls.........sometimes a closeup

makes the gap of reality and fantasy wider.....if u understand

what i mean.........


i think u can do the improvements easily......as u have done it

in the past......u just have to restore them.



BUT ****DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING FROM FIFA2003******

 

[hornetsjet]

thank you,
after playing winning eleven 6 and fifa 2002.
I found both games are more attracted me compare to FIFA 2003.
Why...? Because both games are easy to control and make tactical change. The FIFA 2003 is too forward into realistic but ignored game play. The through button in FIFA 2002 is good but in FIFA 2003 is sucks..

My wish for FIFA 2004 is dun use the through button system like FIFA 2003 again coz hard to pass the ball and need more time to kick off if wanna kick harder. I think EA sports should review konomi's winning eleven series.

Lastly, i wish more leauge and team and countries as well.
The campionship tournament is not interesting.

 

[dipbhattacharya]

Kader........thanks for this forum...

I have gone through every pages and have some cool solutions

listed below......and the funny thing is to solve those u

just have recollect all the good stuffs from old FIAFA games and

restore them under one title ...say it be FIFA 2004.




1. Biggest mistake in 2003 is that u have made the game

easy......crosses reaching the players automaticly

and they score their own ....user have to do NOTHING.


:Bow: so BRING BACK the crossing model and volley-header
system done in WC2002.......remember u have to made the
game more difficult to play.


2. Formation is very static ....bring it back like FIFA2002.

3. Creation center with CD_pack.

4. 1-2 passes

5.zoom in-out /hieght change is a
:Bow: MUST.

6.User controlled celebration...by pressing diff buttons.

7. a knock and run type of sprint.....hit the ball every time
before run faster.....that will make control the ball
more difficult and realistic........


i think it will be enough to satisfy most customers.....

lastly here is simple equation 4 u...........

good stuffs from WC2002 + FIFA 2003 = FIFA 2004 +EA

RULES THE WORLD

reall-ll-ly? Hahhaa! I hope they won't get the license so they will have to make major improvements! Graphics doesn't matter to me. Gameplay is what I respect! That's why I think Pro Evolution Soccer 2 as the BEST soccer game in the world.

 

[Iggy]

O.K., guys, let's turn new page in suggestions. I suggest that we do not discuss about ANY FIFA game. Do not write any more something like: FIFA 2003 was a great game, but FIFA 2002 has better things in tactics, bla, bla....
NO MORE FIFA!!!!
Let's express new suggestions! New ideas! If we will make suggestions for this game, we must forget FIFA game, because FIFA is HISTORY!!!
I respect all ideas and suggestions, but you always compare it with other FIFA games. Let's forget FIFA, PES, ISS, any other game. EA is making new football game. Do you understand me? NEW!!! This game must be absolutely different than FIFA, ISS or PES!
New ideas people!

Thank you for your patience

 

[BlademanX]

10 bloody pages of request means there are obvious flaws in the game. ea wont read all ure wishes when they can improve one or two items and make twice as much money..................dont get me wrong u lot arent wasting ure time...........if i was a game producer i would only listen to what the magazines are complaining about and change those things...........i'm only going to advise on new elements that i think should be included in future versions of the game................

1. NEW DRIBBLING SYSTEM..the one there right now is good but a change wont hurt............lets be inventIve shall we. to give players a brilliant feel that they really are wayne rooney on the ball........ok i press R1 on the controller but no i dont juss want to press R1 and automatically run because this is next gen footie right............i want to run but keep control of the ball as well as push it forward so i have make sure i dont leave the ball behind by making sure i am pressing R1 and lined up with the ball, everytime i approach the ball i push it forward.......but.but.but....if i run slightly of when the ball is forward i totally run and leave the ball like an idiot. what does this mean? it means i must run and make sure i press R1 and meet the ball everytime if i want to push it forward. for example grand theft auto, i run but i must run behind the ball if i want to push it forward and keep control of it.......get it......SERIOUSLY THIS IS IMPORTANT EA. READ IT CAREFULLY.

2. HEADING SYSTEM.... every one has already complained.....needs working on enough said.

3. PLAYER RUNS....why the hell do players run away from the ball....and why the hell do players stand there waiting for the ball to come to them.........

4. TACKLING.......hahahaha its so off key......have u guys tried this is football 2003....no seriously play it........conservative tackles must be timed ..........dead serious........EA producers try it may suprise u.......i pressed o anyhow wit ferdinand and he tripped the player up resulting in a yellow card cuz i thought it would be like fifa. SERIOUSLY......RENT THAT GAME.

5. HANDBALLS...this is football again........shiiiii this is wierd........

6. INTROS... lie when they are in the tunnel and they come out from the tunnel......this is football again has this.........hhmmmnn

7. DIVISIONS...... Pro evo this is football again.........

8. MORE LEAGUES......examples argentinian and mexican and belgian......

9.TRAINING MODE....common why did u remove it......pro evo takes the mickey.they have bloody cones to dribble round. what!

all other bugs are minor......and all those dummy camera man and police men.......make em move...........as well as front row crowd make em 3D........if all this is fixed a greater but not perfect game.
u'll definitely make good money........money isn't the issue its results thats the issue..........job well done to make this 2003 game in 3 months......but thats not the point.its results remember that........i get irritated when they say pro evo.but i'm starting to see why.........

 

[BlademanX]

oh about the new dribbling system i realised this would be harder......it should only be available for WORLD CLASS LEVEL.

i'm not really comparing i suggesting new ideas by numbering the ideas out and stating wut game already uses the new element...................so juss clearing that up.........cuz of admins.............

 

[BlademanX]

fifa project might be shutting down because every year its the same thing.........nothing is really major about fifa games they just floss and people think that its going to be the same game the next year so they dont bother..........who cares i sitll buys so od others........if they lose the fifa license then ....................how r they going to get more leagues kits and stuff...........they r going to need to get down to work..............

 

[dipbhattacharya]

OOH ............U SAID IT!

People. I can just say that you don't worry about quality of the next football game from EA. I have information that studios in Canada which made FIFA series are shutting down, and new studios of EA Sports are opening in EA United Kingdom. Well... they are opened right now This game FIFA 2003 made EA United Kongdom, so... huge improvement in the game we must thank to them, couse what they did, guys in Canada wouldn't do in next 10 years.
And, big information that this new game won't be called like always FIFA, but somehow different. In this time I don't know exactly how, but I'll get that information to you.
So, there will be no more FIFA games. FIFA is history, and FIFA project is shutting down. Guys from EA UK say that this new game will be something absolutely different.
I'll be in contact.

THNKS FOR THE INFORMATION....I WISH IT TRUE.

KEEP TELLING US THE STORY........U R A GREAT GUY.

 

[FRED is BACK]

I have just heard there will be no fifa 2004 and will be replaced by a game called [the footballing one] what a bad name. EA are on the verge of losing the fifa lisence to ISS! Some of the changes will apprently be that at long last they will include English Nationwide divsions 1,2,[I'm a Readingfc fan div1}, greek, turkish and romainian leagues. And EA are trying to approach Fredrik Lungberg, Carlo Cuderchini and Rio Ferdinand.

Very interesting!

 

[Iggy]

Yes, i've heard that EA is loosing FIFA license (i wrote it somewhere in this thread), but i think that it is impossible to happend couse EA will this year earn so much money (billions maby), so... i'm not sure in that. BUT, if they really loose FIFA license, they must make major, major improvements. If they don't, heh, well... disaster.
But, i trust guys in UK, and i believe that they will make wonderful job. Damn, people they invented football, didn't they. It's possible that they make revolution with that new footie game.

 

[mr_jows]

Here's my wishlist!! :P

Gameplay:

1. More diverse play by the CPU, passing & lobbing, through passes etc.

2. A special button for "nice finishing"

3. Change something in the freekick/penalty feature. Now it's only a targetbox and a slider red/green to simulate the accuracy of the player. Why not create TWO boxes, one that's (depending on the ability of the player) is very hard to handle and one that's easy to handle. With the easy one, you say I want it there (for instance top corner), the box that's hard to handle should be in the box as well. Do the same with penalty's!!

4. Referees make mistakes as well, so why not in the game?

5. There's no pitch that's completely flat. Make the ball bounce some more.

6. Headers should be done with the exact key as shooting or passing. (just as it is now) press D for a header at the goal. And S to head it to a teamplayer.

7. Maybe the possibility to make a 'schwalbe'.

8. Handball's

9. Why not be able to hold one's shirt??

10. Standard selection of players in the International team, but make it possible that a "virtual" coach invites good playing players in the national team.

11. Day / Evening / Night play

12. Summer / Fall / Winter play

13. Not all stadiums are allways filled. It depends on the league
position of the club and how you play.

14. Freestyle play should be like this. Press "left-right or right-left" really fast and you'll do a scissor move. "up-left-down-right" is Zidane's helicopter move etc. Create more simple combinations like this for special moves. So it's more fun to use them, instead of pressing the shift button.

Graphics:

1. Try to create smoother crowd animations.

2. Make the peepZz in the crowd a littlebit bigger. If it's possible in 3D!!

3. Mostly peepZz will wear Carlos*ets (so more dark colors in the crowd and only a few with a shirt).

4. Flare's are (most of the time) RED!!

5. Less flags in the crowd.

6. Create more sections in the crowd, so for instance a wave is possible. Now the crowd 1) moves 2) sits down and watches the match. There are also sections where the more fanatic supporters are, so make them wear more shirts and let more noise come from that side...

7. Create more cinematics. Or make us move the player when it scored, so the other players will run after him!! Also create some crowd cinematics. Make them jump when and use a flare when you've just score or make 'em go wild and get angry when you're losing at home.

8. Maybe it's possible to create more television logo's when camera is set at "broadcast".

9. Maybe the commentators can sit in a studio before the match begins. In the studio they'll say some things like "A.F.C Ajax is ranked 1 with only 1 point more than Roda JC. So they must win today to stay 1st in the league. Last week Ajax won from Vitesse with 0-2. Ajax opponent today is Willem II. They've won last week away at Feyenoord with 0-1 which was a very good result. Let's see what today 'll bring. It's almost time, so we're going live over to John Motson live in the Amsterdam ArenA.......

10. Stadiums closer to the pitch.

11. Make the goalnets more flexible. So when you score in the top corner, make it slide from left to right or something like that.

12. Make it possible to have different goalnets for each stadium. The goalnets in the Amsterdam ArenA are for instance, white, red, white.

13. Linesman flag. So make 'em flag when it's offside!

14. Create a bench where the other players are and the coach/manager.

15. Substitution must be a cinematic as well. Close in at the player that's waiting to come in, next to the 2nd official, checking the boots. Then zoom in at the other player that's clapping his hands when walking away. Then make the player cross his fingers are kiss the pitch when he comes in. Nice detail should be the crowd that's whistling to an awayteam player that's substituted....

Sound:

1. Various scoring sounds for each league.

2. Various "oeeeehhh" sounds when missing the target.

4. Sound of a ball hitting an adboard.

3. Crowd whistling when home team is behind and low in league.

4. Crowd whistling when oponents are in posession

5. In stadium music before the game has begun. (very soft when
still in the studio..... What about the stadiumspeaker to mumble someting and then the crowd yells. (creating a feeling that the starting eleven is being anounced)

6. When the oponents score, reduce the sound volume by 50%. I don't wanna hear "aaaaaaaah" when they score. It's unrealistic. When there's really no awayteam crowd, I only want to hear the players of the awayteam scream. And maybe some whistling by the hometeam supporters.

7. National Anthems before an international match (full anthems -
> mp3 or so, for a small filesize)

8. Make the home/away crowd get louder (of course the away crowd less) when you're playing good or bad. When you're leading by 5-0 make the away crowd real silent. The hometeam crowd should be really loud. Vice versa, make the hometeam crowd less loud when the awayteam leads with 0-2 or so. Make the hometeam crowd louder when you've just scored 1-2 in the 70th minute, so you've really got the idea the crowd is supporting you!!

9. Make the crowd yell when a player does a trick or makes a nice action.

GAME TESTING:

Make some of us BETA TEST the game and say what's good or not. We're going to play it. Think of that EA!!



That's it for now...... What do you guys think of my wishlist?



--= )O)/)/S =--

 

[AK-Finland]

8. MORE LEAGUES......examples argentinian and mexican and belgian......

Hey guys!! Don't forget the Finnish league! I know that it isn't nothing for you, but it's something for me. Like mexican league doesn't interest me in anyway...

 

[Iggy]

That's it for now...... What do you guys think of my wishlist?

Well, your wishlist is ok, but why not put in damn game some rpg elements, like player's experience, potential, REAL fatigue etc?

 

[Iggy]

O.K. here's my exact wishlist:

GAMEPLAY:

Make RPG elements, like i said:
- player's experience
- player's potential
- real fatigue
- their attributes should fall down after few bad matches
- their attributes should go up after few great matches
- players getting older, they will be more experienced, but their attributes like "speed" should fall down
- TRAINING and player's improvement on training. There should be specialized training for each segment: FITNESS (running, body building etc). DEFENCE (tackling, heading, aggressiveness etc), MIDFIELD (technique, passing, shooting etc), ATTACK (shooting, technique etc), PENALTY TRAINING, FREE KICKS TRAINING etc
- team should earn money

Other:
- real transfer system: if you want Francesco Totti in your squad, you will must first submit money offer to AS Roma. If they accept, then you will must offer a reasonable contract to Francesco Totti. Weekly wage, car, house etc. If he accept, after few months Totti will be in your squad
- referees should make mistakes
- shirt tackling
- air tackling
- handball
- when player is light injured, he should lay on the ground for little time, get up and then with hand marks choose for substitute
- when player is severally injured, he should stay laying on the ground, match will be stopped and emergency team will get on the ground. All that will be available in animations. You could end it in any time with button ESC.
- please NO MORE DAMN 62-38% BALL POSSESSION FOR MY TEAM ON WORLD CLASS DIFICULTY!!!!

WEATHER CONDITIONS:
RAIN:
- when is raining, field is wet, so ball control is more difficult
- players should fall down on wet field
- if field is wet, players should get tired more cause they must run better and control ball better than they can do in better weather conditions
- wet field, hard and not balanced tackles - more injuries

SNOW:
- when is snowing, ball control is more difficult
- players should fall down on snowy field.
- match could be cancelled cause heavy snow

HOT:
- players will run like always, but it's hot and they will be more tired

NORMAL
- it's normal

GRAPHICS:

- now is everything ok, but i know that EA will make it better, like always
- when is raining, field could look wet
- when is snowing, field should look snowy
- make crowd in 3D
etc

SOUND:

- i wanna hear what has player to say to referee
- please don't put chants like you thing that it should hear better. Why not? I don't wanna hear crowd singing: "HRVATSKA, HRVATSKA!" or "U BOJ, U BOJ ZA NAROD SVOJ" when i'm playing with for example Real Madrid.
- i wanna hear player screaming when he is severally injured

MOTION CAPTURE:

- EA did great job this time, but please get real football wizards like Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Rivaldo, and goalie like Oliver Kahn for your motion capture.

I want this new footie game from EA bugless.

What do you think about my wishlist, guys?

 

[Chill]

why are so many people requesting handballs? i think that is an awful idea.
think about it it would have to be a random thing, if it were a button thats just stupid. and it would just be annoying when your player hand balls it. i know it makes it more realistic blah..blah...blah. but trust me you will get sick of it after a while

 

[BlademanX]

its part of football isn't it
