All you Hvroje haters only have yourselves to blame. I mean this guy never, eve uses the word maybe or perhaps. Everything he says is DEFINATLY and FOR SURE. He is the creator of a fan site but he cant have his finger that hard on the EA pulse. I dont know why he does it but if you believe his word for gospel then more fool you.

Re: No Demo Today

I'm just as disapointed as everyone to read this news. Unfortunately there were some small errors found in the setup files of the demo, and new setup files will need to be sent from EA Canada to EA UK (who are releasing the demo). Unfortunately this means the demo won't be available until next week. EA apologise as they realise how much you want to play the game.
No no no...let's get this straight...it takes DAYS to send setup files from EA Canada to EA UK? Hmmm...i can download 600 MB in 12 hours...i doubt the setup files have more than 50 MB...
But...EA's excuse seems to hold water, because indeed there is no such thing as e-mail so obviously the files have to be sent via post or even DHL.
Jeesus Christ...they can't even make a good excuse :/

yep do you think EA as network speed 56K modem?
they have dedicated lines problably 100MB lines so it will take minutes to do that
 
why I cant figure out is why if the error was in the setup files they didnt cancelled the demo until yesterdat .. COME ON ! is the first error you see...

Yeah...people can wait...but one delay after another is pretty stupid. And instead of giving us the real reason, they give bullsh!t reasons like this

Ok, I haven't posted here in ages, but after reading all of this, I have to wonder what some of you are thinking.

First off: YOu can't critisise TheWolf for what he's saying. He pays for the game, he ahs every right to rant about it.
I've bought the last 2 FIFA games for PC, and both have been shít. In all honesty, the fact that the demo hasn't come out this weekend means I won't bu FIFA 2004 as I won't be able to try it before PES3 comes out. In fact, I will be getting PES3 for both PS2 and PC.

Second: Please, please, please. Can you possibly praise FIFA 2003? Yes, the graphics are great, etc. But the gameplay is worse then 2002. The best FIFA of recent times was RTTWC 98. Hopefully this will be different in 2004. I will still play the demo, but I won't buy the game this year.

Third: Why is EA trying to base their game on the PS2? Everyone knows that PES/WE is better on that console, and if you deny that, then you are just ass-licking EA. In all honesty, they should base it on teh XBoX, or PC. Atm, FIFA has the clear PC advantage over PES, as that's a new game for it, and we don't know how good it'll be. But do EA take advantage of that? No. Instead, they all but admit that they don't care about us PC users. They have the resources to make a console, and PC game seperate, not just ports, but they don't use it.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate EA. Madden, NHL, Tiger Woods, are all great games. They jsut don't try ahrd enough for what is the world's biggest sport. And they are starting to get far too complacent in the other sports as well. No doubting that NFL2k, NHL2k, NBA2k, and WSB2k series have all either caught up, or overtaken EA's games on the consoles.

I personally hope they decide to sort it out, or they'll find that all of their sports games aren't the best selling next year.


p.s. Hi TDK! :)

well it seems some of us pissed you off; and you like to show of as you think you have a life; which you dont; otherwise you woulnt be here like the rest of us; because if you have been in this forums as long as some people have. you would see that this kind of things arent the first time that happen; and iam not just talking about the demo; iam talking about things like fifa 2003; a game from ea which pretty much is crap after playing it the first 5 times and a game which was made like we call it in my country "a la brava" that means making something for the hell of it; not caring if its a good or bad product for the costumer.

so i dont think you been here around enough to jugde people for having an opinion

dont you ever talk to me like that...... I have a life, I have bought every FIFA from the "International Soccer" upwards... sure FIFA 2003 was a pile of ****e, but you have no right to slag off EA like that until you actually a) play the demo or b) play the full game.....

they may have got their act together, just wait until the damn thing is released.
