FIFA Football 2004 (PS2)

The graphics, the addiction, the difficulty and the players on Manchester united.

I think that the entire game is...Super Cata Fragalistic Expealy Docios! In other words I well recommend FIFA Football 2004 for the PS2.

On most football games every time you shoot the player hoofs it out of the stadium! and to score a goal you have to be right in front of the keeper. Not on FIFA Football 2004 though, you get to hit the ball from way out and score a legend! Also the graphics are fairly decent, you can see who the player is by looking at the face and not always the name. You can get really addicted to it because the feeling of having all your favorite players playing for your favorite club is quite interesting. So you have to be quite a big footie fan to buy this game. A bad thing aboute the game is the matches are to straight forward. The game could do with the players having a few more tricks up there sleeves to liven it up and make the crowd cheer and chant names!! Also there could be a bit more of a story about it or more events, instead of playing countless matches in a row.

FIFA Football 2004 is a very good game but would be better with a deliberate dive button and professional foul button! No penalty shoot out mode, well there is if you draw a game but it would be better without if you didn't have to do that!

FIFA Football 2004 has good gameplay but bad career mode because you can only play for 5 years. Bad that you cannot play World Cups or European Championships or any international competitions.

FIFA Football 2004 is a great game for anyone who likes soccer. The players are realistic right down to the shoes! It has all the greatest players that you can put on your team.

The new FIFA game represents a new era for EA Sports. The game features a radically changed game engine, and a more technical and involved control system. This has obviously come as a result of past criticisms about the games difficulty level, but has it improved the game as a whole? Well...

The game, as usual, features an impressive range of teams and players (350 teams and 10000 players to be exact). The game also features an excellent soundtrack featuring songs from the likes of Kings of Leon, Radiohead and the Stone Roses. However, as with most games, if the gameplay is no good, then the game is no good, regardless of the frills and extras. So does the gameplay live up to expectation....

Well, I'm afraid the answer to this is no. In my opinion, EA have gone to far with their new control system and have made the game too confusing and impersonal. I have had the game more than a month now, and I have played it a hundred times or more, but I do not feel involved with the gameplay in the same way that I do when I am playing on one the Pro Evolution series. The reason the FIFA series has been so popular in the past has been down to it's simplicity, it's pick up and play appeal, but they have lost this now, and it's a shame. However, outside of this, the rest of the game is faultless. The graphics and commentary are superb, and there are enough in-game options to please even the most arudent games-player

There is no doubt that EA will continue to harness and improve the new engine and control system in the future, but for now, I would say play before you pay.

This games is really a disappointment if you were a fan of fifa 2003 you won't like this one and probaly better off not buying it. It still has great graphics and authentic kits and the players are even more like the real life professionals but it lacks the feel of the game for one and what I found really annoying is where is the European cup and UEFA trophy? Instead you have the league cups to contend with another thing is it is really hard to beat players one on one with the ball it's turned into more of you have to pass the ball about kind of game which is fine but it kind of gets boring you cannot run down the wing anymore and put a brill cross, instead you have to whack a long ball from the back and hope for the best. One other thing is there are no new International teams to place as either that means no Netherlands shame, but overall a dissapointment save your money.

I think the Fifa series has gone from a quick Fifa 2003 to a slow and boring Fifa 2004. There is one good point- the kits are accurate and they have all major leagues including division 1-3. Fifa 2004 is really boring. The oppisitions defence usualy tackles. There's only 4 different tricks. Career mode is a letdown. It's just a league. Scoring from inside the box is frustrating, and nearly all shots and volleys from outside the box go in. Free kicks are all the the same, and are very easy. PES3 is a much better game. Buy that instead!

Game play no where near as smooth as fifa 2003.

The screens are way too weird and stress you out!

Ball control not as sweet as in fifa 2003.

Whats up with the trainnig? We do not have time for that! One useful suggestion will be to increase players ability as a result of their performance on the pitch, so the more games they play, the better they become!!

This is an amazing football game I think the Gameplay could even beat PES3. The Graphics are Absolutely outstanding But if you have prefered Pro evolution soccer games in the past you probably prefer PES3 But I prefere Fifa.
