How about that goalkeeper thing with the 6 seconds, havent seen that in ages, and the bit where the scores come up at half time and full time in a marquee?
MY FIFA 2004 WISHLIST (in no particular order):
1) Training Mode. Make it like in EURO 2000 with goals to attain.
2) Substitution Cinematics
3) More replays
4) Referee, Ball AND Kit selection before match
5) Coin-toss (like in UEFA Champions League games)
6) Real boots for players (not just crappy EA Sports ones) and make them shared so we can have specific boots for every player
7) Better tactics selection (individual player instructions)
8) More Stadia!!!
9) More national teams (like Wales, Scotland, Netherlands, etc.) with official licences (EA has the money, they might as well use it)
10) BETTER CREATION CENTRE. The current one sucks like sh*t (and I can't use it cos my graphics card is f*cked. I can only get 24 bit graphics)
11) More in-game and out-of-game statistics
12) Better headers (make it specified to players' location on the pitch and where the user wants it to go)
13) OFFICIAL NAME AND NUMBER FONTS!!! The current ones look nothing like the ones in real life.
14) Penalties for when keeper dives at striker's feet and doesn't get the ball
15) Handball fouls (yellow card if it "looks intentional")
16) Make "keeper charge" and "header" on seperate buttons (you should make headers like previous versions. i.e. shot = d, pass = s, etc.)
17) Faster keeper reaction time and don't make the keeper dive from a blocked shot. He should also get up quicker.
18) Better tackles. You have to get the tackle just right in 2003, but in earlier ones, the defender would hook the ball away if the tackle was not quite right.
19) International Selection
20) OFFICIAL KITS FOR EVERY TEAM. If you can't get official kits, don't include the team
21) Make the Champions League officially licenced.
22) Put more teams in the "Rest of the World" section, like Zamalek or Al Ahly
23) More random stuff, like streakers (VERY RARELY), broken goalposts (also very rarely), ball changes (rarely), diving (not so rare) and fighting players (between players with high aggression ratings)
24) More diverse EA FreeStyle options
25) We MUST be able to select the captains in the Team Management screen
26) A half-time pause menu. Why can't I make subs at half-time?!?! Oh, that's right. There's no half-time menu
27) FREE CAM!!!! I want the Free Cam back for my replays
28) Bring back the "1-2 Pass" button and the changing of tactics by one button aswell
29) BRING BACK THE INDOOR STADIUM
30) Give us some cinematics from inside the players tunnel
31) I want my players with a speed rating of 10 to be able to outpace another player with a rating of 9 or less
32) Better crowd animation. They look so flat and lifeless
33) Views of the substitutes bench, so we can see what EA think the managers should look like, and so we can get tracksuits and stuff.
34) Better facial expressions for players
35) Make more than one player go around the ball at free kicks, so that the opposition doesn't know which one will take it.
36) Match facts at the end of the match, not just half-time
37) Linesmen using flags for both directions, not just one way and using the hand for the other.
38) Multiple bookings from fouls, and argumentative players, so they argue with the ref.
39) Last-gasp option of bringing keeper up for corners
40) Slow down the power-up meter. I have it on slowest but it's still too fast.
41) Drop-balls if players are injured
42) DIY stadia. We should get to build our own stadia, choosing the number of tiers, roof cover or not, etc.
43) More accurate player ratings
44) Short/long sleeves and shorts/trousers for keepers
45) At the end of big matches (local derbies, semi-finals and finals, etc.) fans should invade the pitch
46) National anthems for international matches and cup finals
47) More unlockable rewards (stadia, teams, players, tournaments)
48) More fouls for obstruction, shirt tugging and mid-air battles for headers
49) More interaction with the weather, i.e. wet shirts, bad bouncing of the ball (when it rains), sweaty players (if it's hot), etc.
50) More individual faces and make the current ones more realistic. Make them look like the players that they're supposed to be. And don't put in unnecessary faces for the CC (who the f*ck is face 463, anyway?)
51) Make the difference between the difficulty levels a bit less. I jumped from being able to win 5-0 on amateur to losing 3-0 on semi-pro
52) International teams should have 11 subs, but club teams should have 5 subs and the teams in European competitions should have 7 subs.
53) Auto-saves and deletable games
54) World Cup qualification (like FIFA 2002) WITH FINAL TOURNAMENT
55) Full view of the stadium in the pre-match build up
56) More control over keepers, i.e. making them move for free kicks & penalties.
57) Different television customisations (pop-ups, scoreboards, clocks, logos, etc.)
58) Bring back set-piece plays. The players are NOT static at corners. Make them jostle for positions and maybe even give penalties for over aggressive "jostling".
59) Make the players shout more in "On the Pitch" audio mode. I want to be able to hear the different players calling for the ball and warning their team-mates about oncoming opponents, etc.
60) Don't listen to any of these plonkers who say that they want more non-playing staff in each team. The idea of the game is to make a football simulation, not a management sim. That's what Championship Manager and TCM are there for
61) And don't put in the women's leagues either (unless you're gonna get Brandi Chastain to rip off her shirt as a celebration).
62) Get some people from Europe (who actually know the game) to test it and tell you how to make it better.
63) Give the players more attributes so that their play is more random and dependant on their attributes.
64) Show the injury time clock. I miss it so much. I want to know how much injury time has been played.
65) I want to be able to save the goal celebrations as replays
Anyway, apologies for the large amount of complaints. All I want is basically an amalgamation of all the FIFA games from 1998 to 2003. But finally, if all of these are implemented, I think that EA will HAVE to put FIFA 2004/2005 onto a DVD.
I hope my suggestions are well received. Thanks a lot.

MORE difficulty levels, about 6 would be GREAT! make it so that the first level is pretty easy, but NOT very easy and make the hardest one, VERY hard to beat the CPU, VERY hard to get past defence and break the, DON'T make it hard so that you can score piss, but the CPU cheat and score 10 goals! make it so that the CPU are very hard to break down and hard to defend against, but this would have to change sometimes due to the new AI tactics, so more tactics are welcome!
Make it so that you can't just PLAY GOOD, but have to play a long time to start PLAYING GOOD, making it playable though and VEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY hard to master.

1. Refs should be part of the game. i.e. the ball can hit the refs just as it hits the players.
2. Sports spirit should exist in "Fifa" pc games as well. for example, when a player is injured, the opposite team should shoots the ball out of the pitch.
3. In the last few mins of an important match, say a final match in a cup, the goalie of the team which is behind by one goal should go in an attempt to score a goal, in case of a corner kick.

Please do not have goalies running to the other goal in a match & letting the other team score from the half way line.
My wishlist
My wishlist (PS2) is simple:
Just take the best from all versions and make it into one game, with the manditory slight improvements in graphics/animations, commentary, and AI.
1) The engine is great in 2003- the free ball is great.
2) Ball curve from 2002.
3) Ability to actually aim the ball (upper left, lower right) from, well, the 3DO version of FIFA (1999?)
4) FIX THE FREESTYLE CONTROLS, so you can actually do combo moves that actually work and don't just look good.
5) bring back the FREECAM replay!!!
Also, it'd be nice if the AI didn't cheat (much less in 2003) in order to get harder. It shouldn't be so easy to take the ball away, rather it the defense should shore-up, the goalie should be more aggressive, etc.
It's time to combine all the best features into the best FIFA ever, instead of focusing on radical changes each year!

Other addons
1. Don't just use freestyle for skills whilst moving with the ball, be able to use a freestyle pass (like henry's pass against middlesbrough on saturday where he put his foot over the ball and brought it back and passed 2 pires)
2. BE ABLE TO CURVE THE BALL! EA u r adding in great new things, BUT DELETING OTHER THINGS, MOST OF WHICH R CRUCIAL!
3. Be able 2 header the ball when a player isn't near, i mean, u r trying to make the game realistic, may i ask WHAT is realistic about only one team being allowed to header the ball!?!?!?
4. When u want to volley the ball, b able 2 actually volley it!? and to choose what kind of volley (short pass, long pass, through ball, shoot)
5. Computer being offside more often
6. Computer fouling more often.
7. Other ways of fouling/tackling. e.g. shoulder barge, shirt tug etc.
8. In the English league, where's the Worthington Cup?
9. TRAINING MODE!
10. The in-game creation centre (it was so much easier and better because you could see the changes!)
11. More help from your team's other players (when your watching a match, it's quite often to see more than one person try and tackle one person, it's usually 2 or 3, or sometimes 4, the players on your team don't do anything unless you be them.
12. Be able to curl from all set pieces which u use your feet in (corners, far out free kicks, goal kicks etc.)
13. When you are on a one on one, most players usually dummy the keeper and drag the ball away from them and tap it in because the goalkeeper is usually on the floor by then, in FIFA 2003 when the keeper goes near you he will DEFINITELY get the ball!
14. Thanks for reading. The game is supposed to be real, all the statement's i've said in the game are things that you do see in the game, pls EA make these changes!
bye

most of the things i want to see changed has been said.....im just wondering if the makers of the games actually look at these suggestions and take them into consideration....cause many of these things that are wanted are really common sense and anyone one who enjoys playing games would want things added...especially if many of the options we want were in previous versions of the game.

I want FIFA series be more PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER -like!
There are too much things to list, but they should play PES2 and figure up what is so good in it. And then of course, maybe little copy it.
And good Franchise Mode would be great! Like in PES2. You would have to make contracts with players and survive with your budget. And it would be great if players' skills would increase or decrease, depending of how much have they got playing time in previous season. And things like that, it's just important that you get the idea.

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.

What i would like to see if have one setting for difficulty of opponent and another setting for quality of opposition keeper, as professional is a good level to play at but the keeper is slightly easier to beat, it would make it more enjoyable and gives you a lot of situations to deal with to allow you find your best siuted one. Ive seen it somewhere before but dunno if it was PES or not, cant remember.

It looks to me like a lot of you guys want more playable gameplay, which is fine, but if EA are to do this they MUST make the a.I a LOOOOT more difficult to play against.
If FIFA 2003 was much more playable, but the a.I was kept the same and if this was sold as FIFA 2004, then it'd be crap, cause the game would become far to easy, as the player would have to much open to him/her. (which is good, but what makes it bad, as the A.I wouldn't be able to cope with all the different ways of spiltting them open and breaking the defence, it would be really stupid.
So if EA are going to make 2004 a game that offers LOADS more features, tactics and animations that are linked with different ways of attacking/defending, then so be it, but makes the A.I be able to vcope with EVERYTHING and attack just as fairly and cleverly.

What i want
I love pretty much everything how it is.
Some things i hate are the goal celebrations.
There is nothing wrong with the current ones but come on
teams dont just celebrate their first goal. When the cpu scores
an equaliser they just stick their hands out end of story. What
the hell is that? they're supposed to go wild and celebrate
like no tomorrow. TEAMS SHOULD CELEBRATE EVERY GOAL.
that is all i'm asking. It makes it so boring when you score a late
goal and all they do is stick their hands out like nothing happened.
For those who don't like the goal celebrations and prefer them
how they are then why don't EA put them in options somewhere.
We can enable them or disable them anytime we want.
Please EA do something about them. It's unbelievably boring
when we score.
