FIFA 2004 Platinum (PS2)

FIFA Football 2004 has good features too, the gameplay is simple and "easy!" (quoting soccer AM), the graphics and controls are brilliant so this is a great EA SPORTS production, here are the features, but forget about how long this game's been out on the market...

- Improved gameplay and animation (this is what makes this game stand out and nobody can disagree with this).

- Expanded database and controls (more space to load and save your games, Off the Ball control is a new feature to EA SPORTS).

- In-game management in Career mode (Career mode is the best on this game, play as a great or poor team and make your way to the top).

- 16 worldwide leagues, 350 teams and 10,000 players (this is quite a big number and it's impressive).

- Tons of staduims with crowd reactions and chants (this is another great enhancement EA SPORTS have made to impress and satsify players).

- Broadcast-sytle presentation.

- Online play (Ethernet lets you challenge other football madmen, quite cool to challenge others).

- Commentary from John Motson and Ally McCoist.

With these, FIFA Football is one of the best football games I've played and owned, everyone is giving this game a poor rating, this game certainly doesn't deserve this kinda calluosness at all, so BUY THIS AND BE IMPRESSED AND SURPRISED!!

This game is probably the worst football game I have ever played. Little has changed since Fifa 99 on the N64.
lets see,
*The players dont pass to who you tell them to
* You can rarely tackle someone without it being a foul
* The goalkeepers dont even try to save it, they just dive pathetically onto the floor
* You cant get within about 1 m of an opposing player because every time you are tackled
* The commentary is poor
* The graphics are poor
* The overall gameplay is poor
*"Off the Ball" doesnt work
* The players dont look real
* You can rarely score, and when you do the keeper isnt even looking at the ball, he`s probably standing at the back of the net facing the crowd
* the other team always fouls and injures your team but the ref hardly ever blows the wistle
* There always about 10 minutes extra time
* it freezes all the time

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME, BUY A BETTER GAME LIKE SAN ANDREAS OR PES4

this is a very elegant game. they really catch the passion of football here. pro evolution 3 is better though, and so is fifa 2003. i only gave it three stars because there is 2 older games better then it! they wasted the oportunity 2 make one heck of a game. shame on them
