This thread has been linked to the game 'Fifa 2004'.
Before I start, I was only playing Fifa 2004 because my cousin got it as a Birthday present and he wanted me to play it with him.
:P
So, first i'd like to point out the passing situation, it's definately improved compared to 2003 but its still there (you know what I mean), when you pass it to someone and they automatcally pass it to someone else, it really annoying.
The other bad point is the commentary, it sucks. For instance, when you score sometimes Ally will go "Spectacular goal"! The only problem is, I scored it 5 minutes ago.
:P
The Off Ball Control is pathetic, it's so hard to use and shouldn't be legal. I wish Fifa added more acuracy to little parts ike penalties, they're so simple, you basically press O and left or right which IMO is very easy and unpredictible. You should be able to aim at the goal like you do with free kicks, that bring me to my next issue...
The free kicks are quite impressive, i've been on practise mode for quite a while trying to figure out the best way to shoot.
The goals on Fifa are outstanding, it's a shame I never score them though.
...
I think i've got used the way the computer plays, for example : Everytime the computer has a throw in it always seems to accidently pass to me shortly afterwards.
Overall the game has a few improvements but not much, it is no where near as good as Fifa 2002 which IMO is the best Fifa yet - 2002 has all the features Pro Evo 2 had and if they included them in 2004 i'm sure it'd get a better score tha the one i'm gonna give it - 7/10.
:P
