FIFA 2003, as good as it is compared to the last few FIFA games is still no competition to This Is Football 2003 or Pro Evolution Soccer 2. TIF 2003 isn't being released on GC, so I guess you'll just have to wait for PES2.
Wait until Febuary, honestly. It'll be worth the wait. :-)
I bought Fifa 2003 yesterday morning and i was playing it until 4.30am this morning (im gonna put it back on in a sec after i wake up :)
Its a totally different game to any previous Fifa's and this version is extremely playable...
You make players run into space and then play a thru ball to them, theres alot of football needed to be played in order to get any kind of success in any level above the amateur setting. There is the entire 2003 Premiership which you can play in and the fixtures for the team you choose to play as are exact to the fixtures of the premiership.
Theres obviously the champions leauge, UEFA cup, custom cup (FACUP or w/e you want it to be) theres also 39 international teams.
The game is so playable it hurts, anyone who thinks this is just another EA cash in is mistaken, this game is easily the best footy game on the Qube at the moment.
If you got any questions about it post here and i'll answer them, i wouldnt want any footy fans to miss out on this superb game (yes a Fifa game thats superb) :)
Also i heard that in 2003 the ball is "free" instead of being with the player so its a bit like pinball of something like that, also is it on PS2, just i read the release dates on some site and it said, pc,GC and xbox, no PS2...is it already out?
Pro Evolution Soccer 2 is by far the best football game on any console at the moment, so wait until it gets it's GameCube remake/port (hopefully it'll have a few exclusive GC extras e.g. MOH: Frontline) in Febuary (?), as AJ seems to think.
You guys can wait 3 months if you want... i will be playing Fifa 2003 for the next 3 months then maybe get Pro evo 2, that way i get the best of both worlds :)
Really this game isnt anywhere near as bad as some of you think it is.
Anyway, It does seems that TIF 2003 on the PS2 a game inside out. a huge task of doing the whole game and enjoyed the game. Playing Fifa 2002 today was strange as it got 'Boring' After 4 matches. It didn't want me to come back...It threw me away *Sniff*
So the appeal of the fifa games are small, But i heard that Fifa 2003 is much more 'TV' Style gameplay! (I hope it does) and from the posts of this topic. It seems like its hit the outer ring of the bull eye.
