My views on Fifa 2004

[SkylineGTR]

Well, after playing every single Fifa game from 94 till 2003 I felt like EA totally ripped us off (never bought one of them but played them all), evey single previous Fifa was unrealistic, with pathetic "gameplay" and silly AI, so I decided to move onto PES/WE which totally destoryed Fifa in every aspect.
Then I found out about Fifa 2004, and I as always said "better stay away from that ****" .... and soon enough the demo came out which made me look diffrently at EA, they truley did an amazing job with Fifa 2004, the graphics, AI, gameplay, tricks, physics and the atmoshphere are as real as it it gets.
Anyways, after playing Fifa 2004 for more then 1 week I must say, Fifa 2004 blows PES 3 right out of the water, actually PES looks kinda redicilous next to Fifa 2004, everything in Fifa 2004 surpasses PES 3 by a mile (I know because I played the demo!).
I really cannot wait to buy my 1st Fifa game, since I never bought one since they were all gay and pathetic, Im going to buy Fifa 2004 because it is the BEST and the ONLY soccer game out there.

About the gameplay, Ill just say it short and sweet, in Fifa 2003 I won every game 8-0, 6-1, 8-4 on pro and world class level, in Fifa 2004 took me a little time to get used to it but latley I won almost all of my amature games by 1-2-3 goal diffrences, on pro level IT IS totally diffrent, I lost some games by 1-2-3 goals, most ended in draws like 1-1,2-2 and even 3-3, I also won few times by 1-2-3 goals, which is amazing, the atmosphere and the gameplay was sooo fantastic, so intense, so real, I couldnt believe I was so excited about beating a pro AI in normal result like 1-0 or 2-1, or score an very late 90th minute equlizer, or be ahead like by 1-0 and 89th minute recive a goal that pissed you off but yet was realistic

The game runs very smooth at 1280x1200 4xAntiA and 4xAF, the fps never go below 90! amazing.

VERY WELL DONE JOB EA!!!!!

Actually, all the previous ones were total crap, but this one is alot more advanced and realistic.

LennonPY dont like my "story" ? dont read it

 

[totsata]

this story is very cool because everything is true and from a different point of view than any other stories i have read

 

[xxxFLYERxxx]

I will take ISS on playstation over Fifa 2004 any day.

 

[SkylineGTR]

ISS lmfao, I played that on PC and I uninstalled it after 2 minutes, what a pile of crap.
And comparing it to Fifa 2004 is pure stupidity.

*blah I need to stop replying to the idiots*

 

[Lennon]

and i'll take ISS2000 for n64 over any other soccer game anyday,that is the most fun soccer game ever,the controls are awesome,the only con is that it doesn't have clubs or license for NTs players

 

[Jaehyun89]

what i realised is, in 2003 the gameplay was super super fast and it was unrealistic, but in 2004, u need to MAKE it fast, u need to make ur plays fast, it's not fast originally but u can do fast passing and plays to manually make it fast. play in fastest mode for a while and u'll see what i mean.

 

[rane]

Sorry, I disagree with you man.

In fact im puzzled about how you can write its a mile better than PES3 in all aspects, just judging from the demo. Personally I thought the demo felt very un-fluid and especially the control was lacking a lot.

 

[AcillateM]

yes nice story SkylineGTR its your apinion mate but your the only one you says pes 3 its crap compare to fifa2004.
actually looks more of a fairetalle story. one of two...
or you dind´t play pes3 a lot to really like it (since you already move to pes since fifa2003) and your metality was to fifa, or you dind´t play fifa2004 demo long enogth to find out a poor gameplay and a lack of AI of cpu and your other team mates that are controled by cpu.
anyway its your opinion and i respect it, and i hope you respect mine.

ha...your funny man. just because fifa changed there game play a bit you start crappin on pes. the same game that you said destroyed all of fifa's older games. lol i would not be so quick to say fifa blows pes out of the water.

do you see the bad shooting animations?

do you notice the computer players using the same tactics?

same style of goals?

do you notice how the computer players get as close as they can before they take a blast?

do you notice how fast the ball goes?

do you notice how amazing the keepers are?

if fifa was amazing do you think there would be gameplay patches made?....of course not.

i played on the hardest level with fifa and the computer would never shoot long blasts. they would never chip the keeper.
the only time they cross is when you force them to do it.
the keeper never came out to challenge. how retarted is that.

if you think that is what soccer is like then you must be on some sort of drug man.

it's sad we have to download patches to make the game better.

I will take ISS on playstation over Fifa 2004 any day. yeah man same here.

 

[mohawk]

I played PES and it feels far more realistic than any version of Fifa. 2004 is an improvement on 2003 but the AI does not vary its play at all when attacking. I would be extemely worried if this was so in the full version.

 

[hchu]

FIFA 2004 is good, great on EA's behalf concerning the many previous notorious titles.

But there's just some more improvements required to actually call it excellent. It's a bit too early to say it's realistic and right on. The improved points, we all know. But for the downside,

- As someone mentioned above, the ball physics ain't there yet.

- The cpu AI is monotone at best (hope this is just the demo).

- The defense AI has problems (this, I don't see being fixed for the final).

- Goalie has problems

etc...

To say one game is better than other, you need better explanations to back up your opinion. Just saying you played the demo for both doesn't tell us anything.

Again, we need constructive criticism..

I never saw any bad animations, all of them are fine.

Nope, they dont, the AI attacks from center, and wings, and score goals from headers, volleys, corners and sometimes center.

Nope

The ball goes fine, totally realistic

The keepers are not amazing, they also make mistakes, .... I had a keep come out once too early and I lobbed the ball and scored.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I played PES 3 demo bunch of times, and everytime I play it I laugh at it more and more, it feels like a cheap cartoon game, doesnt even feel realistic.

On the other hand, Fifa 2004 is as real as it gets, I played it for the past 2 weeks non-stop, and it keeps amazing me.

 

[Nasir09]

pes3 has gone down to £32.99 because its a **** game
fifa 2004 is the best ever

I'd like everyone to not take Skylines comments for granted. Some of them may be true, i dont know - i havent played the final version of Fifa2004. But just the fact that pretty much everyone here on the board (who has played the demo of Fifa2004) has SOME negative things to say about the game. Skyline has none at all.

Also his comments on PES3, which i know for a fact is not true as im playing PES3 myself these days too.

And especially after reading another thread in the FIFA2004 forum, where his real football knowledge is clearly lacking and his low age has clearly had an effect on his comments.

Im not bashing Fifa2004 as I've only played the demo. Im simply letting ppl know not to get their hopes up after reading Skylines comments, which is clearly too pro-fifa (EA hired him?)

(Im expecting some low non-mature reply from him to this post)

You are an idiot, I have alot more knowledge then you do.
Low age ? you dont even know me, Im 24 ... low age huh ? assclown.
I think YOU are the one with low age, what are you 11 year old boy trapped in a girls body ?
70% of you are so anti-fifa, its getting really pathetic.

Maybe fifa gameplay is not better to WE series...but is very close,and above all this time is ENJOYABLE!!. Everyday people are finding new tricks as "dummies" and "through lob passes"

OK ...now...with the online play and the licenses...FIFA 204 will be a REAL, thread against WE this year.

Dude they dont care how great Fifa 2004 is, and no matter how well EA has done this year there will always be 80% of people who are anti-ea and anti-fifa.

The bottom line is Fifa 2004 is a fantastic game, and the final version will be ever better.
