To all you complaining about this game . .

[SCTW]

What do you not like? and be realistic. In case you do not know who I am , I started the FIFA WISH LIST, the link can be foudn at the bottom of this post. I think FIFA has improved in the last 3 versions. What I hate about WC 2002 is:

- the free kick angles
- the stupid camera rotations after the free kick
- all the slow motion BS - the celebrations are too slow and dead - should be fast excitin and furious like in real life
- they mad this game a little too dramatic which sucked

What do you guys think?

yeh true

i just hate when you have a really close game the whole way and then u score a winning goal or an equaliser, the crowd goes wild which is good but the celebrations suck, the players score the goal of their life and go back to the game. They should be like fifa 2002 where the players score and go crazy. Also when a striker breaks through the defenders the crowd should go wild not wait for a shot until they BOO or HERRAYY...

I just think they should have the national anthems. That always brings chills down my back and gets me ready to play in a real game...

There are two big gaps in the game to me.

1. Full Multiplayer Integration
Why, after how many iterations of this game, can I still not play a season or a tournament with a friend or five? New versions of FIFA need to have multiplayer fully integrated throughout the game to maintain credibility in an era of gaming where your multiplayer capabilities can make or break your game. Right now, multiplayer is not making FIFA, it's breaking it.

2. The Full World Cup Experience
The environment in FIFA World Cup 2002 is incredible. The gameplay is the best of any FIFA yet. And somehow they still found a way to screw the pooch, big time. How could they split the World Cup Qualifiers and the World Cup Finals across two separate games? Someone go give whoever made that decision a whack in the back of the head for that call. Amazing.

FIFA 2002 would have been fine without the World Cup Qualifiers. Truthfully, it really didn't add that much to the game with all of the other tournaments available.

I suspect that FIFA 2002 "needed" to have the World Cup Qualifiers as a marketing bulletpoint to ensure they'd get sales on it as well as the "real" World Cup edition that people also knew would be coming down the pipe. *sigh*

Let's summarize: EA - (1) get your multiplayer act together for 2003 and (2) never, ever, ever split the World Cup into two games again.

That is all.

Somewhat humbly,

As far as the game goes, I am a very average player, but I love the game! I disagree w/whoever said they put too much drama into it? There can never be too much drama, I love the dramatic scenes when you score! Its awesome. I think it is cheap of ea to sell 2 games at the same time(wc,fifa) but they wont do it again until 2006! I truely like everything about the game, I just wish we had more control of the AI with more sliders like hockey/football(madden) etc..... I like amatuer level the best, but I am dominating it now! And the fact that we cant adjust the groups to start a new wc is a freakin joke!!!! Otherwise this game has impressed me, but remember I am from the USA and I cant play we6,iss etc..... so this is all I know as far as soccer goes!
