"Fifa 2004"

Did everyone who ordered get their copies? I havent due to the fact that apparantly the publishers have slipped with the release date, yet SR have it in stock. I wont get mine till Tuesday so have fun with your copies...

Can you create your own players and teams on this one?

I'm thinking about getting it for Christmas along with Mario Kart:DD.

Suppose it is a bit like real life tho, cus referees do make mistakes.

Yeah, the commentators say that it's a free kick if the player is tripped on the line, which is when it is actually a penalty. I've noticed this as well a couple of times. If you check the replay thoroughly enough, though, you'll notice that is usually is actually a penalty.

Well each time the commentators mentioned sommit about a free kick, but out of the three kicks i had all were given as penalties. Only one of them had a sort of explanition, like the referee had made a mistake, but still very dodgy...

Worst name i saw was in 98... Dunga was called Dongo..

Yep i know, just saying bout the silly names could of made them more blatent so you know who they are!
But anyway about the refs i can see collina influenced it alot o_O

PES3 is equal to ISS98.

I thought ISS98 was the best game ever, and I still do, in a way. PES3 is not any better. Just equal.

Nothing wrong with the licensing but they should of come up with better names. But Konami are known for making up silly names... to be anyway since ISS 98 and 2000
