WISH LIST: CONTRIBUTE, EVERYONE

[Sergio]

Being objective...
1- more simulation - less arcade
2- option to control only 1 player (as on Euro96 and NHL2000) or a group of players on the field, speacially becouse it would make the multyplayer games more interesting
3- career mode where the players attributes change and they get older(this one is NOT for EURO2000).
4- Slower speed option
5- Keepers less "sticky". They catch all the long range shots in spite of their speed.
6- Med. and long range shots more dangerous but players should miss more the target.
7- Finnaly, what have they done with the indoor option ? Its not essencial but it was fun

 

[Lord]

I do not agree with you ZZUB.
EA don´t need to make two games.

The main problem with a International and Club games, are the Stats and Rosters.
The system, the gameplay is the same.
Right?

So if Championship Manager 3 could make it, why EA, a much, much, much bigger company could not?
Because they don´t want...

They could use the same old Fifa engine and made actual roster...
Ops... they use the same old Fifa 99 engine for Fifa2000, but they made worst roster...
So what they make this 8 months!?!?

Too easy, too easy...

ps: I read this 3 games post sometime ago, and many players agree...

 

[Puskas]

-Players should look more like in reality
(incl.: face!!! and jerseys)

-Longer pitch

-Stadium selection

-Back with the fake falls

-More in-game tactics

I simply miss many of RTWC 98´s features. Like:
- International managing
- Possibility of turning on and off AI help (like headers)
- Where are the various dribbling options??
- In F98, I could score many different goals. Why in F99 and F2000 I have to always score shooting high in goal's corner or with Q key? Where are the many different shoots of F98????? And what about free kicks? Only if I´m too next to the goal I can score in F2000, and that little pointer SUCKS!
- Goalkeepers must NOT be PERFECT. Their moves are so artifficial. They can't smooth every shot, that's the main reason the game (F2000) SUCKS, I can just score every goal with a max. of five different ways (two are left goal corner of right....), I want FIFA 98's PLAYABILITY back!!!!!
- MOST IMPORTANT: I used to love that F5 camera (stadium camera), no way I can use it F99 neither in F2000, I have to use the emotionless "tele" cam.
- I really DON'T CARE about scenarios, music and all this crappy stuff. You guys from EA HAVE to work with PLAYABILITY, not only GRAPHICS!!!! And put in your mind, we all (football lovers) HATE this "pinball-like" style of Fifa 99 and 2000!!
- Go back to F98's simulation style urgently! We aren't lamers, we don't want the CPU to do everything for us! And want to have the right of choice. We want more playing complexity (more options of moves, dribbling, shooting), I want to decide STRICTLY wich direction and force of my shoot from a free kick, for example... (like in F98)
- This "heading" and "kangoroo" (jumping)kind of play is mainly from English football! I want more DRIBBLING. We in Brasil just play with the ball IN THE GROUND. I hate that every five touches in ball I must head it at least three. It's just too "english" for me, please PAY ATTENCION of way football is played in other parts of the world! Another "too english" stuff is having to do a power shoot to score a goal. Why can't I just beat the keeper by witing his move and lightly touch the ball fooling him, and the ball run slowly to opponent's net?? Or just lobbing him (like Romario do many times)?? You had never saw a true brazilian player scoring a goal, I think!!
- FIFA 99 and FIFA 2000 SUCKS a lot!!! FIFA 98 is still the best in playability.

hmm
lets concentrate on improvements
'in-game' first.

 

[ZZUB]

LORD
I see your point, I have to agree. If it can all fit on one cd then thats where it should be.

[Koolkiller]

Better Defender AI
Keeper who will get injured or get carded.
All player commentary
Keeper who will fumble shots

 

[uclabillman]

Here's a list from a Californians perspective...

1) Custom leagues need to continue for more than on year.
2) There should be more preset cup tournaments from around the world.
3) You should be able to create custom cups to insert into league play.
4) One of my favorite moves from PSX FIFA 99 was the ability to slide to the side and let a long lob pass you by. That move does not seem to be present in the current game. Every lob pass must be headed, chested, or kicked by the intended target. Players should be able to let it go.
5) It's frustrating that lob passes can only be directed at particular players in their current position. Why can't there be a "through" lob pass just like there is a "through" regular pass.
6) Rather than everyone having the same "special" move being the 360 turn. The move should vary based on the players ability level. Players could have signature moves of their own. (I know this would take too much time and space, but this is a wish list.)

 

[GOONERBHOY]

Hey Cyote,
Why can`t you place the ball where you wan`t in F99, i have no problem.

 

[Nuno]

My wish is that Portuguese league and Portugal National Team,cameback to Fifa the place they deserv. A least they will be in EA Sports-Euro2004 !!!

 

[Moe]

I wish the Aussie league was in fifa2000 and that there were more moves

 

[Sergio]

I totally agree with unclabillman about the throught lob pass and the speacial moves, but most of all I agree with Nuno:
They wont take portugal from the Euro2004...

 

[danilo]

And it seems the 'totally' customisable cameras are not working.

It'll be great to have a auto-zoom camera as in Virtuastriker, or even Actua Soccer

 

[shez]

1- bigger pitches!!!
2- a complete new shooting system that's more realistic. (a one that u don't not curl every shot in!!)
3- a complete new goalkeeper's moves that gets rid of bugs and unrealistic saves. (viva football is a crap game but the goalkeepers r sooo realistic)
4- referees and linesmen..duh!!
5- motty for everybody (plzzzzzzzzz)
6- bring back all fifa99's moves and tactics,especially the fake fall and the rainbow trick.
7- keep the crowd's movement and the way the nets r shaped from fifa200

that's all....

 

[Hartogsveld]

-Bigger pitches
-Realistic (seasonal) weather conditions
-More realistic keepers
-'Through pass' key
-More in-game tactics and moves (like in Fifa 98 and 99) (lob over keeper, wing back run, step-over nutmeg etc)
-The clock should be stopped when aiming set pieces, even if it's set to continuos, as it often takes several in-game minutes to make a good free-kick
-Better chance to score from free-kicks and long shots
-More player skills, and more levels for each skill (like in fifa 98)
-More teams and leagues
-Better editor
-Realistic looking referees (No black refs in Scandinavain leagues)
-More variated stadiums, possible a stadium editor
-The possibility to make international call-ups (like in Fifa 98)
-The game should keep track on each players passings, tackles, assists and shots to calculate a match rating and to make more realistic man of the match awards
-More and better commentary (more player names!!)
-More realistic audience (less different colours and people dressed in the team jersey)
The way the game plays (dribbles, tackels etc.) are way better than fifa99.
I know that EA has got what it takes to make the game better, it's just a question of will - so come on now, EA, pull yourself together!!

Here is what EA Sports has to do to make a great game:

Things to Keep from FIFA 2000:

- the nets
- crowd animation
- lighting effects
- player animations like dribbling, tackles, etc.
- the computer catch-up logic

Things to change for EURO 2000 and FIFA 2001:

- bigger pitches
- slow the speed of the game
- the keepers have to become more realistic
- better chance to score on long shots and free kicks
- the weather conidtions should match the time of the year your playing at.(When my game is set on Random 4 out of 5 matches have snow in them)
- more moves and in-game tactics, also be able to set-up your own set plays
- bring back to arrow that extends on free-kicks instead of the little small one, I can't tell where I'm aiming
- stop or slow down clock on free kicks, it takes a while to position a good kick
- bring back JOHN MOTSON
- better commentary, more player names
- the game should keep track on each players passings, tackles, assists and shots to calculate a match rating and to make more realistic man of the match awards
- have players rating go up and down during a season, maybe after a injury all of his ratings are low but they build up as he gets healthy or the more games a person plays the ratings goe up and the less he plays they go down
- more teams and leagues
- better rosters
- player positioning and adjust aggressivness
- better editor
- more player skills and levels of play cause change between professional and world class is massive
- better ratings for all the teams, and have all the ratings the same for all the teams, not like have New Zealand good in the New Zealand game but crappy in the USA game, also have soccer experts decide the ratings not some retards
- more wyas to score and more FMV's after goals and penalties
- more penalties, the ratio of tackles called to the tackles left alone is like 1 to ten
- ref's need way better AI
- players on your team need way better AI
- indoor soccer, its fun to see what a club like Man Utd. would be like in the indoor game, and have it 5-on-5 plus a goalie for each team, not 4-on-4 plus a goalie like EA Sports had it last time in a FIFA game

If Ea Sports can't do this then they might as well sell the rights of FIFA to a company that will, but I know EA Sports can do it, its just they don't care about us football fans. They should start caring.

[burner]

What about the instant replays at the half-time or the end of the game?
that would be great... Another Chance to see your goals, and it would looks like real tv ! ;o)

 

[MLSman]

-career mode
-better rosters
-stadium select
-bigger pitches
-more teams
-better A.I.

Ea Sports could do these easily.

 

[MC Hammer]

I think they should bring back real stadiums as the current ones are crap, an option for slower game play, i didn't notice how fast fifa 2000 was until i played a game of fifa 98 yesterday. Realise that players from the 60's didn't where the same baggy shorts that players in the 1920's did. And finally put some normal celebrations in, its strange when you see tony adams doing a sommersault after he's scored. Oh and a career mode like in Sensi Soccer where you could move from club to club and transfers were a bit more realistic, sort of a manager game built in.

[Ck]

How about..

A career mode?

I mean comon ffs, Sensible World Of Soccer on the Amiga is still superior to FIFA 2000 in this regard.

Also, In FIFA 2000 every player sheilds the ball, this is just not realistic..
