I agree that comments like "FIFA 2004 sucks" are a waste of time. I don't like the game much from the demo despite playing about 30 games but I do think it's EA's best effort yet. To me there are a lot of unaddressed issues with the game but there are also a lot of plus points too. I don't like the shooting model and the physics of the ball but the graphics are outstanding and the depth of the game will be a great attraction for many people.
I do prefer the PES/WE series but to say FIFA 2004 is utter crap isn't accurate. It's a shame it takes somebody else on this forum a couple of days to improve on the gameplay aspect and no doubt the editors will be out in force throughout the next 12 months. If there's one thing I've learnt over the years from soccer games it's that you'll never please everybody with any product so you just have to have a preference and wait until the next batch of titles come out before you start all over again.
FIFA 2004 is a long way behind PES3 in terms of gameplay but obviously way, way ahead in terms of licensing, authentic uniforms and leagues etc. and I respect that to many people that's important to them. I for one, won't be coming on this forum bashing FIFA 2004 anymore because I feel it's disrespectful to you guys who love the game. I'll save the bashing for the forums where it's appropriate.
