FIFA 2004 Wishlist

[nickclubman]

The skills moves (especially the speed burst) are TOO affective and can be used WAY TO FAR to an advantage against the A.I. Even on World Class I find myself bezzing a around the pitch, beating defenders SO easily with players' you'd never DREAM of!

So here's what is need:

*Bigger pitch.
*Harder to beat defenders and break the defence/midfield down.
*Harder shooting, to direct and get the right height (harder to keep the ball down, just like in real life, ground shots are easier to do, but this doesn't mean easier to beat the keeper, just easier to perform).
*No strange tackle animations here a player is taken down, then magically rises up!
*No 'ghost players' where players' seem to be able to go straight through them, this also goes for the keeper!
*Improved tactical A.I strategies and more tactics for A.I to gain and obtain possession for small/large amounts of time at all kinds of time during the match, but also keeping in the tactics from FIFA 2003.
*More animations.
*Keepers' to dive more and save freekicks on target, but NOT all the time, just a lot more then in FIFA 2003.
*Powerbar speeds for shooting and lobbing to be the same as attribute based freekick and corner, where thw worse the player, the faster the powerbar will increase and the better, the slower.
*Harder to beat goalkeepers.
*Defence to block off more angles for shooting, so getting the shot in is harder.
*Referee's to give direct Red cards, even if it wasn't the last man in defence, like in real life.
*Shooting to have more depth.

These things r the main things and they are reeeeealy frustrating...

k-league is there so they can sell fifa2003 in korea, and asia too.
Other people play football other than europe and s. america

 

[DanneTheMan]

Practice mode

More Intl teams

WC mode

Coaches and players on the bench

Yeah also when you change a player, then I wanna see the player get changed, and a man holding up the number board, or what tha **** it's called.

And of course better game play.

Improvements: Curling and one-two

After playing fifa2003 on the xbox I had to rush out and buy it (along with a ps2) as it is vastly improved from fifa 2002 world cup. The only thing is: whenever games are greatly improved like this, there is always a previously great feature that has been left out.

To find that you could no longer have one-two passes was annoying, this is such a great feature of the previous version. I don't care how complicated the button combination has to be, it will be worth it for beaking defences in a unique way.

Secondly, the inability to curl the ball in open play is devastating for the games playability when upgrading from fifa2002 world cup. For shots, crosses and through passes this improves the playability drastically, and hey! There are two buttons on the ps2 pad that aren't being used. L2 and R2! What's going on?

Thanks

Rich

 

[ScintillateRich]

Also: (Not as important)
How about a foul button and... *gasp* a DIVE button?
So in order of importance
1) Curling in open play
2) One-two passing
3) Foul button
4) Dive button

It's hard to make the games realistic if you're playing with Lee Bowyer in your team and you don't have a foul button

Fix the heading for one thing!

Also bring back the Indoor Stadium, and make it harder to score goals! Please! It is sooooo easy to score, please make it harder.

Also if I mastered the game in World Class Mode, I can then win every game and make it through the season without a loss. Please could you add another difficulty level that if you let's say play with Manchester United. This is your schedule:

vs. Liverpool
vs. Bolton Wanderers (A)
vs. Lazio (A) - Champions League

You could make the Liverpool game a little harder than World Class Mode. The Bolton game is then switched to a much easier mode, maybe to PRO. Up next is Lazio and since it's AWAY, it gets to a difficulty level of World Class + Pro.

You see what I mean? It's a Difficulty mode that picks the appropriate difficulty level for each of your matches.

Another thing that I would like to see fixed is the STATS. There should be way more stats than there are right now.

Could you please leave the option of choosing Champions League let's say and then being able to pick how many players will play. In 2002 you didn't have that, but put it in 2003. It should stay like that.

I appreciate all the hard work from you guys,

Thanks!

Wait, you mean that they should make for each team their difficulty level? I don't exactly understand your suggestion.

NET STRUCTURE

As posted before, here's my reaction/thought for the net structure:

EA Should indeed inprove the netstructure. How can they achieve that??

Simple!!

Just ask Ubisoft how they managed to create the realistic waving in curtains etc. in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

It's awesome too see how curtains (thin and thick) move when you walk upon it, shoot at it, walk through it!! When you walk through it, the curtains stay waving a while. It takes a long time for them to be hanging still again (depending on the type of the curtain).

EA Should use Ubisofts engine for this or they shoud write something like this theirselfes!! Just download the demo of Splinter Cell or play it on the X-Box and you'll see what I mean!!

If the ball reaches the net, the net (depending on the netstructure that is used in the stadium) keeps waving when you score, or is hanging still again in 10 seconds. They can also use this to create a nice wind effect for cornerflags other flags in the stadium and of course the nets in the goal.

I think many of you know what I mean. Didn't know how to explain this one in simple words :P

I'll post a link to a movie ASAP, so you can all see what I mean!!

- ingame editing (people like to edit, create teams and players...)
- South American stadiums
- more teams from South America (more from Brazil, some from Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Colombia!)
- customizable weather in exhibition matches
- World Cup

I just think the whole transfer system sucks.

It should be more like real life, where you could offer money and/or players for the player you want, and according to how good/crappy your offer is you will/wont get that player.

Also, since EA never puts in, and probably never will, any teams from the Americas besides from MLS and Brazil, why not in the transfer screen have a section that just lists all the top players from the Americas, quite a few of them though. Where u scroll in the league selection area in the transfer screen it would just say "The Americas", and the team select area would be blank, and then you would just look for that player in the Americas you want to buy. It doesnt have to say what team they're on now, just his name and his rating and price.

This would be so cool cuz then i could buy players from Argentina like Carlos Tevez or Diego Milito, and players from Mexico such as Jared Borgetti or Jesus Arellano, along with other players from Paraguay, Uruguay and so on.

The Hedgehog's wishes

These are the wishes of The Hedgehog! I will try to translate his desires to English:

"
-Dynamic weather changes during matches: this option was included in Euro2000, and it consisted that if we start a game in sunshine, it wasn't out of question that in the 30th min the sky become cloudy, and in the 2nd half there is a torrential rain! (I hope you know what I mean)
- Kits that become dirtier during matches! Euro2000 also had this feature!After rain in the half time cinematics,it looked imposing the muddy T-shirt of the players! With a script written in advance, it's not impossible to realise this wish! EA should use the technique used in Rally games!
-Realistic injury model. Yes, im sure you're bored with this but it was in Euro2000 too! He wants to say that for example a calf injury is one missed game, a knee injury is 6 etc. And the values of a player who has just recovered from an injury should have everywhere -1 (so if he had 8 before in speed, he'll have 7 after recovery)
-Regulated transfers: He means that EA should make impossible to transfer Zidane to Bronby, or any other very small team. He have ideas on how to realise it, but he knows that no one will listen him at EA !
-Small pitched(?), indoor, and beach soccer:It's only a question of laziness do make a feature like these! In fact, everyone knows that in the ini.big the field, and the goal size is changeable! So it needs only a fitting gameplay, and textures and it's ready! This could duplicate the durability of the game!!
-Realization of the winter intervals/holidays:in the EPL there is not vacation, but in many other leagues, like in the German Bundesliga during winter players go inside and organize their indoor "championship". This could be the zenith, the highlight!! Imagine: you finish the autumnal season, and then the indoor football takes place, while the mercato is in progress!!This could be GREAT!!!

things to keep:
-graphics: things to add: snapped tussock, players who spit , sideline elements like in NBA live etc.
-the gameplay is almost perfect
The rest will be boosted by patchmakers, and editors "

For ones who don't know him, his the best patchmaker of Hungary, and one of the best facemaker on the World!!


And my wishes are that if I'm on to beat a team 10-0, and i score another goal, i don't want that the player run out of the galaxy!!! Only a restrained celebration!!

EA!!! Please realize our dreams in FIFA 2004 !! PLEASEE !!!!

Thanx!

Thanks!

Wonderful idea for the dificulty setting, but it's not always as simple as that.

I think every team should be able to beat the best, we've all seen Bolton and Blackburn beat Man-u, this shows just how possible it is and how it should be ALWAYS, so when you get used to the game, it shouldn't make it easy to beat the weaker teams, but there should be a difference between say, Bolton and Liverpool.

I think that the game should give considerable pressure when playing away, but shouldn't go easy on you when playing at home.

The game needs to be 4X's as hard on World Class! It's just to easy!!

The future:

I've predicted FIFA 2004 already!!

"FIFA Football 2004 is a great improvement from FIFA 2003, but it's to easy and although the graphics are awesome (like always), I find it to easy to beat the A.I. I think the Argentinian league would've been a nice touch and is needed. Why didn't you put in the Indoor stadium? I think this game is a big step in the right direction, but it'll never be the best"

There you go, and it's all true, lol.
