Read this list and weep you sad pathetic Konami loving freaks:
BREAKING NEWS - LATEST FEATURES IN EURO 2004!
1 - Players.
Yes, now we have soccer players in FIFA. Try and use 11 of them to team together to win our new feature "the game".
2 - Score Goals.
Now it is possible to score goals. Sometimes you can even score a different goal to the last one you scored. Maybe.
3 - Timed Games.
It's true. Your game can now last for a specified amount of time rather than indefinitely.
4 - The "high shot" and the "low shot".
Beating our competitors with a ****ty stick! Now it's possible on occasions to shoot high and on some other occasions, shoot lower. (Of course this will depend entirely on how far away you are from the goal when the initial shot was made.)
5 - The "PASS" (c)
We have copyrighted this extreme new feature and hope it won't spoil your involvement of the traditional game too much. Our concept involves moving the ball from one player to another using the foot. This can happen up to 2 or 3 times per game.
6 - Dribble.
Oh yes, at last after years of petition by our solid fanbase, we have introduced the notion of being able to move with the ball at your feet. With practice you may even be able to beat another player.
7 - Crowds.
This is an EA exclusive. In the stadiums (oh no I've given new feature number 11 away!) there will be objects closely resembling people that we at EA like to call "supporters". Nifty huh?
8 - A box.
Are we marketing geniuses or what? This year, rather than being delivered to your door wrapped up in a slab of ham, FIFA - Euro 2004 will arrive at your door in a box! And maybe a shiny box at that. (Please ignore the fact that it may look identical to the regular 2004 box with "EURO" written above it in biro.)
9 - Green grass.
Like many of you we wondered what could be done to improve our previously purple and orange fields and then we came up with the revolutionary idea to introduce green grass into the game. Now you no longer feel you are tripping on acid or need headache pills two minutes after playing.
10 - Play against an opponent!
We saved this feature introduction until last because we knew it would blow your socks off. Yes, that's right, EURO 2004 brings you the ability to play against not only the CPU but also somebody else.
EA are proud of these new cutting edge developments to the game and really feel that we have stepped up a gear and overtaken Konami by a further 4 years with this game. We now believe our gameplay experience and presentation to be approx. 23 years ahead of Konami's. To prove this, our main stadiums in the game will be 'Moon Base Alpha' and 'Red Planet Theatre'.
Enjoy. Remember, "IF IT'S IN THE GAME, CHANCES ARE WE HAVEN'T NOTICED IT!"
