FIFA gets 6/10 at Soccer Gaming review.

[valioso]

i will agree with Joe, I would give it a 7 because EA rushed the product and you can tell by the bugs, since some should have been quite obvious with a bit of testing

I really think that having played WE 6, there is no way to find Fifa 2003 enjoyable for much time ( I really felt nice about the game for some 3 days, which was a huge improvement from last years ( played 3-4 times and deleted the demos ) ), but it has potential for next years.. and I also must say that here in BRAZIL, everywhere I see people playing soccer games on stores, they play WE !! That´s the real football simulator, NO DOUBT !!

Cheers

I haven't written it, but that's what I'm giving it. That is, if Matt will let me post it at the website since it's not really promoting FIFA 2003.

Graphics: 10/10 - Always good looking.
Sound 9/10 - Sounds awesome.
Gameplay 6/10 - Many game play bugs (will be mentioned)
CONTROLS: 0/10 - You basically have little control while playing this game. It was the same in FIFA 2002, and they even made it worse (with the heading business). No excuses or slack, they've had a year to fix it.

This is a weird reviewing system you've got there Joe.

CONTROLS is part of gameplay!!

What do u think gameplay is! its how the game plays, which means how you control it, how it responds etc.

Joe I also think that you are going out of your way to create a bit of a "controversy", and this type of feedback is exactly what you were after with such a review.

For starts, how can you give gameplay 6, and "controls" 0, when Ive already explained that they essentially mean the same thing.

Also, how can you give the game 0 for controls. Is it COMPLETELY uncontrollable? If you can't do headers, than practise,every other year ppl complained about how easy it was to master the game, and now you are saying that YOU cant do things, that it is known other people can, and that this makes it a bad game.

Anyway Im over complaining , id be suprised if Matt even let you publish the review. I mean I believe in Freedom of Speech, but you are going out of your way tp try and make a point, or be known as the guy that posted "that" review..

Just my opinion.

who cares about reviews...we all own the game already anyways

 

[saurabh]

Uh, stop copying Matt's words, and no it isn't. Why would I care if I had something contreversial at a Soccer Gaming website? I used to care, but I'm here to inform. I've already told people about my opinion on the game and they are not going to buy it. I told them honest truth--the facts, the problems with the game. But I also told them the improvements, but they felt the negatives outweighed the positives



Well i dont have to copy any words i say my opinion.Nobody is liking you nirther your review so why you are staying here just go away from here.I dont how can you be a mod of SG.

 

[bibus]

You told people not to buy the game and they listen .... hu... are you a kind of ghandi or something like a mentor for the poor stupid people...?
People like you taking their self too seriously are making me laugh ...go back to your diciples and tell them to pray harder against the Evil Fifa !

Just because people don't like my opinion I shouldn't be a mod of SG? That's class.

No, it was just some friends who asked me if they should buy the game. I said, "No." I don't know where you get off assuming I'm taking this seriously. All I did was inform you people of what I will give FIFA 2003 for my annual SG review. I don't hate FIFA either. I have good memories of previous FIFAs. Ask Matt on that one, I've told him before.

 

[saurabh]

I and all others have full freedom to talk about what we think and i tell what i think.



Well i isnt that you should not be a mod as your opinion differs from others but due to reason of your behaviour.

There is only one point here. FIFA is an average game. That's all there is to say. And like I said controls--which can be seperate from gameplay (yes, there are reviews that seperate them) should be at least a two because I have control.

No, this is not for attention or anything. I just posted that I don't really think this game is that great. What is hard to understand about that? No reactions, I didn't care. The game is average.

What's the behavior? Arguing with you? I also have a right to freedom of speech and I can say what I please, you know.

 

[valioso]

I agree with Joe his behaviour is not bad, just stating his opinion, everyone is for stating their opinions but when someone doesnt think the same then they are trying to start controversy. Thats called hypocresy.

He didnt insult anyone, he has answered in a calm, normal manner, I dont see the big deal about his behaviour here.
Even if I dont agree with the score for controls, i still think he didnt say anything out of line, this is a fifa forum, to discuss fifa games.. but if we think is less than a 9 then we shouldnt be talking?

 

[bibus]

I don't agree neither on the part : "get out of here" ... He has the right to say whatever he wants like anybody else...(hoho...so much kindness....lol)
I still think that somehow he began a sort of "crusade" against fifa ...
Ps : sorry to hear that your friends don't have a mind of their own ...(just joking...hehe)cheers!

This is a day after, and the most I will give it is a 6. Perhaps a 2 for controls, because after all, I can control the game to some degree.

The censorship thing, Matt, is a disgrace in my opinion. Because YOU don't feel it is true? That's why you do your review, and others do theirs. Reviews are based on peoples' opinions, not just yours. I'm doing fine in playing the game now at World Class, at about 6-9-2 (W-L-T). I did post this after losing one of those games, but I've had my fair share of wins too, and I still think the same things I said to open the thread.

We and other websites have been giving this game too much slack in our reviews the past few years, when, honestly, the other EA Sports games (still not that great) dwarf the FIFA series in control and gameplay (not including stats, team authenticity, etc.). Year after year we see something cool in the other EA games and think, "How great would that be if it was in FIFA?" It never happens.

True, I think Matt needs to let people have their opinions and he can have his, but if he doesn't want your review on the website, what can you do?

I wrote a review, but Matt told me that they already have an Xbox review, which I think was over rated, so I thought having 2 opinions on the same format would give the buyer the feeling that it's not gods gift and that people don't actually like it as much as others do...but I do like it, I just don't think it's brilliant.

If Soccer Gaming will only post reviews that praise the game, then f*ck it, cause people are not getting the right treatment...so, Joe, if YOU feel the controls get 0/10 then so be it, if YOU think the gameplay gets 5/10 then so be it, cause THAT'S YOUR OPINION and no one has the right to say "you are wrong". Matt said it doesn't seem factual, well...a review score isn't factual and never will be, it might be a fact that the review is about a football/soccer game, but the score is totally and utterly the reviewer’s opinion.

You're right Joe, websites praise the game too much, we need to tell EA what for, even if we like the game, cause we need to get the same level of detail in the gameplay as the other EA games do!!

BANG ON mate, that's because the higher the difficulty level, the better the AI keeper gets and the worse yours gets, I've checked the AI/CPU files and it's ALL there!

i dont have that trouble scoring, some games it feels like I am aiming with my arse.. but most of the time is not that bad, it takes a while.. I just played a game I had 7 shots on goal and scored 3
