FIFA 2004 Wishlist

Fifa 2004 Wishlist

1. Better passing
2. Better Tackling, it is awful in 2003
3. Sent off AI
4. Dutch Footbal League, where is it in 2003
5. Practice Mode
6. Shooting and passing that you actually suppose to make. in fifa 2003, when you press the pass or shoot button it goes in another direction sometimes
7. Goalkeeper not to come out and try tackle the other player, UNLESS, I press the button to make the goalkeeper to come out and try take the ball off the player

 

[Tricks]

Also when you have four players sent off with red cards, you cant get the 5th player sent off so as to abandon the game when your 12 - 24 down

 

[Tricks]

Another thing, why 2 cds when there are things called dvd-roms and dvd writers and you could put the whole thing on a dvd

i think the passing model is fairly solid, and i LIKE the errant passing and interceptions. i agree that too many passes and shots go off to the side when you're aiming forward, etc. but the real problem is button carry over. if you hit the tackle button more than once you launch the ball into no-man's-land once you gain possession. there should be an immediate re-set of all actions once you gain possession so that you are in control of your next move.

My FIFA 2004 Wish List (part 1)

More moves/animations for the gameplay :

• Add a bit (miliseconds) delays for animation when running players trying to shoot from long distance. They need to use their preffered foot (left or right).
• When somebody get fouled, players around there raise their arms, indicating the referee or pretending to the referee that they didn't do anything. This always happened on real matches.
• More moves especially on "Players-to-Players Clashes" like pulling, grabbing, holding, or another clever tactical foul.
• Players with more skills can do more tricks and moves. Players with good heading can do better heading. Players with good shots can score from free kicks. Players with bad tackling can't do better tackling. Just make the different like their stats. Yeah, this far i feel like players stats are useless when it comes to the game, they all looks similar on the field.
• More goalkeepers moves/animations. Sometimes the GK just walk towards the slow ball that heading to the goal which resulting a very stupid goal.
• More moves after the GK punch/saves the shots but the ball still in play, so it did not renders the GK into helpless condition. And we can see the good GK (like Buffon or Kahn) really trying hard to saves their goal, their reputation and their name.
• When players shots, make their head facing the ball direction.
• When corner-kicks makes more moves like players grabbing each others. More moves or other clever tactical foul.
• More moves when players are falling down from fouls/tackles.
• Add more moves for the injured players. Heavily injured players cannot stay on the field.
• Add more miscellaneous moves like, players trying to block the shots/cross, or players trying to save their goal after the GK is beaten.
• When my defenders receiving opponent lob/cross pass near my goal, they often to score an own-goal because of waiting the dribbling animation. Please fix this.

When my defenders got the ball on my own defending area :

• Make the opponent attackers be less aggresive and give me some space. So i can freely pass back to my GK. Makes only 1 opponent Attacker trying to distract the pass.
• Opponent attackers/midfielders quickly retreating to their each position and get prepared for a counter-attack.
• GK responding very fast when my defenders pass the ball to him. So no stupid "Own-Goal" or "Corner-Kicks" because of stupid passing system between my defenders to my GK.

When my attackers bring the ball towards the opponent penalty box :

• Makes the opponent Defenders or Midfielders be very VERY aggresive (like in World Class difficulty) especially inside their penalty box.
• Make 2 or more opponent defenders protects their GK or trying to block the shot/pass/cross.
• Makes 2 or more opponent defenders aggresively marking my attacker who bring the ball inside/towards their penalty box.

System/Engine related :

• Backheel pass cannot too far.
• Player stats change by the age effect. For example, young player stats slowly increasing until they reach 29 but slowly drops after that.
• On tactic/formation screen, shows players names. Make us more freely change the tactics, like dragging players position. Toggle on/off for every defenders overlapping. Assign who marking who. Move foward or plays defensive for individual player, etc...
• More customization/editing for player head. EA should try to learn from "PSX WWF Smackdown 2 CAW Editing".
• More editing for formation, captain, player numbers, etc...
• Fix the Replay. On some saved replay, the player change after i load the replay. Bring back the zoom in/out and free-view.
• Tackling GK while he is standing and holding the ball will receive red-card.
• Unintended Hand-Ball receive no cards but just a free kick.
• I never see a GK got red-carded in FIFA Games. So it is useless to put another GK in the subtitutions list. So perhaps a red-card for a GK who try to block the player not the ball.

And many more to come from me, just wait..... (to be continue)

3. Improve the headers
4. Player appearence is good , but it can be improved ...


I hope that you will respect your fan's wishes , because you are the best and you can do it !!! 10x EA !!!

Something else...
more attributes for players.
For example:
Flair
ball control
skills
power
scissor kicks
etc......

 

[jeefstn]

how bout a power bar on the shooting that has something like this....a bit hard to explain...pretend each word is a bar...
hit...miss...hit...hit...hit...miss...hit...miss...etc....the good players would have a lot of hits, the ****ty ones will have more misses. this would make it possible for people to miss easy shots. if the bar stops on a miss...or a red bar, it would go wide or something.
you know how the power up bar is all green, just throw some reds in there and if you release on a red, it goes wide.

the leagues

i dunno if anyone has mentioned, but i have an important wish. This also could be solved by making a DVD instead of lots of CDs, but if Cds, there should be a solution for the leagues to take part in FIFA games.
Each year the leagues change, plus this year, Even Dutch league, also Greek and Portuguese league (oh yeah Turkish legue also was added in FIFA2000) are removed) luckily Israeli league also. But If they remove all these leagues, MAN WHY TO PUT ALL OF THE NORDIC LEAGUES?!?!?!?! My biggest question mark on FIFA 2003 has been this, but thanx to ÝfafaTurkey, i could have the chance to play my own league. (I won't comment about the K-league disaster :/ )
Neways, I strongly support the DVD soln if they're gonna make it more and more compressed and worthless as trying to make new and "better" things.
addition: if they made up a league of the teams in "rest of the world" there would come a better league than belgian or swedish league.am i wrong?

 

[Micke_Nr21]

You guys at EA should really make a training mode next year (practise makes perfect) because it is rally annoying when you get a free kick outside the penalty area and don't have a clue of how and where you should shot and aim. And maybe you could add specific player chants or something (like if Roy Keane tackles Owen from behind at anfield maybe the home crowd starts booing when Keane gets the ball).
P.S dioveL_Grotesq whats wrong with the swedish league? D.S

 

[numer20]

Hello

I would like to add to all of the above:

Being able to edit shoes

Goalkeepers running up the field for a corner when you are one goal down with very little time to go

Classic Games (United-Bayer '99, Uruguay-Argentina '30, Brazil-Italy '70 or something like that)

Classic stadiums f.x. Maracana though there is no home team

Add teams like Boca, River, Zamalek and stuff to rest of world

Substitution cinematics

Free Cam for instant replays

Show added time on clock

Improve National Teams section and add a special world ranking list for the game(Like Virtua Striker)

Edit teams homeground (Like FIFA RTWC '98)

Add more entertaining goal celebrations

Add lower leagues (So you can continue the game though your team is relegated)

Weather features (Not only choose the weather but include when weather changes, maby it starts raining in second half or stops or whatever)

Include streakers, referee injuries (And more injuries overall), cards to the bench for bad language, powers out, and lots of other fun things like every 50 games

Maby show an airplane sometime when looking at the sky or birds at the field

Lightnings in rain

I know this is much and maybe hard to fullfill but it would make this game more real

 

[Andreas]

I agree with you numer20. Classic matches would be great, but it would be better with just classic teams instead of classic matches. It would be cool to play with teams like Juventus '97 (Ravanelli, Vialli, Del Piero, Peruzzi), Ajax '96 (Davids, Kluivert, Kanu, De Boers), Man Utd '94 (Cantona, Bruce, Ince, Hughes, Kanchelskis)!

 

[Christam1]

- Training mode - please release this at least on the PC, we havn't seen one for ages and all the other football games on other platforms have got one!!!

- Creation Centre - instead of making us download a huge 30MB file, please include one IN THE GAME, on ALL PLATFORMS, perhaps with stadium creator aswell, which lets you select the parts from different ends in the ground (eg in LMA Manager)

- Handballs - will make this game alot more realistic, but do not make them occur too often, like in This Is Football

- More faces - I know you've included alot this time around, but try and include more and more please, perhaps with the whole of the premiership faces in

- CURLING THE BALL - How could you leave this out!!!!???? This is one of the most important things in the game, especially when playing across field balls, and virtually ANY pass whould have SOME CURVE on it!! Also on shots, many in real life curl from long ways out, not just in free kicks!!

- Long balls (lobs) need to be more realistic - it is obvious you have tried to copy pro evolution soccer with this, as the ball just gets hoofed up in the air, and its hard to get on the end of the ball

- Heading - its too hard to head the ball at the moment and the heading controls are tricky

- Better cinematics (including substitutions - this is really poor) i love the special ones such as the beckham celebration, but there aren't many others or they just dont come on enough!

- Commentary - This is very good, but can you please add more commentators, so that we can pick from a selection? I know this would take up time and disc space, but its worth it! Afterall, we saw it in World Cup '98, I wish it had stayed in the game! I remember this feature used to also be in FA Premier League Stars, when either Clive Tydsley or Martin Tyler was on.

- Replays - Give us a free cam because this has been fantastic in the past years, I dont have a clue why you should have missed this out. Its in other football games too!

- Cameras - Bring back the zoom feature

- In this version, you have put in some brilliant stuff, but you've then taken out some of the good old stuff, so bring it back in!!

- Tackling - Use 'hook' tackles as well as forward slides!

- More skill moves

- Classic mode, like in FIFA 2000, that was pretty cool

- More player sig. , moves, such as Darius Vassell's lovely turns and skills, watch him playing for Aston Villa/England, and any other players do the same!!

- Beckham should chip the ball forward like he does in real life - he cuts underneath the ball

- More fouls - we need more freekicks if you're not going to give us training modes - but give us this too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY IMPROTANT TO HAVE TRAINING!!!!!!!!!

- Modes such as World Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, Champions League, Worthington Cup, Euro 2004 etc.

- Include an indoor stadium(s) - like in FIFA '97.

- More chants for each team, EVERY TEAM

- More stadiums - in Actua Soccer 3, most teams have accurate stadiums, and that game was made way back in 1998! Surely you have the ability to do better!!

- More options - such as decide on day, night, weather (include snow, rain, cloudy, hot), and more detail options like in other PC games.

- No flashing shirts! Really annoying!!

- Better animation - the animation in 2003 is OK, but after playing the game for a while, it gets boring - needs ALOT MORE VARIETY - so get some more motion capture, with MORE PLAYERS, at least 100 (ok I know thats a bit too far, but it will improve the games realism by a long way!!!

- A GOOD GAME FOR 2003, BUT STILL NEEDS ALOT OF IMPROVEMENT!! GET SOME MORE STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[simcut]

hey guys

well, I agree with 90% of what has been said before, I would like to see a normal television score as well appear at the bottom when a goal has been scored, with the players name and the minute they scored in, I'd like instead of Motty and Ally I'd love to see Jim Proudfoot and Alvin Martin from Talksport on there they'd be superb, I'd also like to see diving back in the game, as well as being able to take corners in the old way, but leave free kicks with this new feature.....I'd like to see EA push to get more licenses, like the FA Cup for example, gather a english EA team together to help them collate information about many clubs and build it into a FA Cup competition with loads of minnows like my beloved Barnet (hehe ), hmm what else......oh yeah, seeing substitutions take place again would be nice! also some violence I want to be able to get my own back on roy keane ) nah scrap the violence bit... well, a ingame UNLIMITED editor and a external fully useable editor would be nice, I am sick of playing with teams that have a name longer than a elephant's goolies, I want to be able to change Real Betis Balompie to just say Real Betis, and many other teams like that.....EA you are DEFINETLY going in the right direction but you really have to listen to all the users of the game, I know its probably impossible to have every league everybody wants in the game, there are so many people here that want a league added, but games like Mafia came out on 3 cd's so perhaps do the same thing? I dont see the problem with releasing it over 3 cd's, if we get a lot more then do it ) if need be scrap making a Euro 2004 game and concentrate on the follow up to Fifa 2003.

Cheers,

 

[simcut]

yeah, I forgot about that.

the game is very linear in places, like crosses and defenders clearing the ball, make it like that with ea assistant *ON* not *OFF*

I would also like to see hook tackles, also some trance music in game like Sasha - Xpander

 

[Nikos Mihalakos]

My fifa 2004 wishlist

My fifa wishlist is

1) More leagues (Greek, Argentina,)
2) Flags, chants, and banners for all teams
3) More Stadiums (some Greek stadiums please
4) Uefa Champions League
5) Uefa Cup
6) Better Transfer System
7) No made up tournaments (ladder)
8) Cinematics (subs,players,coaches)
9) lower divisions
10) some classic teams
11) Career mode
12) More balls
13) snow
14) Real time, weather effects, and how about when you start at 4:00 in the evening the time changes from day to night
15) When it rains it can stop, or will rain much harder, or while playing it will start raining.
How about matches delayed because of bad weather, or bad pitch conditions
16) More refs, and be able to choose your own ref

That is my wishlist.

Please EA do this stuff, I am sure that many people want this stuf that I want also.

 

[simcut]

I'd love to see coaches as well, u see clips of them urging the team on during the game, or looking worried when the team are losing with a few minutes left, they should also have a system with possible sackings if managers are doing really bad, there is so much stuff that could be added....

hey man i didn't say the Swedish league has sumfin wrong. Wud i mean is there are more leagues which are equal to Nordic leagues (icluing swedish league) but i counldn't understand why EA removed those leagues but just put so many nordic leagues. Got it? Plus i still say a league made of the 'rest of the europe' teams would be a very good league.
