I hesitate to give this game even 1 star. It is absolute rubbish! I've wasted another $50.00. After a decent rendering in 2003, EA has regressed big time! The gameplay is SLOW and unrealistic, you cannot create tournaments, you cannot play anything but friendlies as international teams...the list goes on!

lets make it clear this game suxx

FIFA 2004 is garbage. I have played all fifa series since 97 and this is by far the worst. Who cares about graphics, chants, and real players if the game barely works. Garbage AI, terrible game play and crappy upgrades. People who like this game have never played Winning Eleven and probably dont really watch football. Dont buy this game it is a waste of money and time.

Game is Horrible!!! What Were They Thinking? Don't buy it!

I would have given it zero stars but that was not an option.
The graphics are similar to Atari 2600 soccer! Seriously. Hello!!! This is 2004. The 2002 game is about 400% better and I am not kidding. I'm returning this game for my money back. The menus are terrible, as many other reviewers have said. I should have listened. Notice how the average rating is 2 stars and that is 65 or so reviews--not a fluke! I have brand new Pentium 4 computer, 2.4 ghz, super high graphics rating, drivers, etc, about 5 times more powerful than they claim I need, and it is overpowering my computer and the players are see through. The uniforms don't even try to be the correct color! It is a green team vs. a red team every time. Only 40 international teams and no Peru. How can you not have all 10 S. American teams represented? Why have 600 teams including stupid loser club teams in the Korean league, like anyone gives a flying you know what about that, and then have only 40 international teams!!!??? Everyone knows the fun is in playing neat dream international matchups. Nobody cares about club teams from the third division in freaking Mongolia. Christ. I am seriously pissed and this is not a joke and I am putting it in the mail to return and get my money back right now. The game has taken 2 steps backwards at least. I didn't see 2003 but 2002 was and is 500% better than this 2004 game. Also, how can USA remain rated only 3 out of 5 when USA is ranked # 11 in the world out of 206. Hello again. Earth calling. Looking for signs of intelligent life at EA Sports, no sign of it. Only 10 nations in the world are currently ranked ahead of USA soccer out of 206, yet USA gets 3 stars out of 5.

Re what you really care about, the game play is horrible too. The graphics, as I said, are worse than they were in 2002 and the controls are impossible, it runs too fast and jumpy, no shadows, the announcing is stupid...the game is simply terrible.

You will be sorry if you think I'm joking and buy this game, just as I am now after I ignored the other 50 reviews that are similar to this one.

Again, I have a Dell Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ brankd new with 256K graphics adapter nad 68X CD drive and 100 G hard drive and all the stuff (in sum, if my computer cannot run this game smoothly, nobody's can except perhaps the Pentagon's super mainframe computer I guess).

Do not buy this game or you will be sorry, trust me. Use the $25 and buy a real soccer ball and go get some exercise, which is what I'm going to do now.

To really emphasize my point, when I come back inside to play around a little bit, I'm going to play FIFA 2002 and not his 2004 game, and I mean that literally.

I am going to write a letter to EA Sports because this is unacceptable.

Another year, another lame FIFA

and another attempt by EA to take our money wowing us with eye candy while trying to slip by us the fact that this is essentially the same garbage as last year. Off the ball control is unusable and a joke, there is no difference neither among players nor among teams, as you can take on Real Madrid with Yeovil and dominate, for example. Avoid and buy Winning Eleven 7 instead. It's coming out shortly and will blow this garbage out of the water.

terrible programmers

If i were one of the programmers for this game, i would be embarrassed. EA ought to feel that way for putting out a game that is still in development.

There are numerous programming deficiencies.
- in career mode, player ratings can change from screen to screen
- in career mode, you can't save the game at the end of a season until after you've gone through the preseason training and acquisitions
- It is practically impossible to sell players in career mode; if you can and the player is good, you won't ever get their value
- prestige points you win for winning the FA cup, League cup, and EFA Cup don't transfer over to prestige points during the season

AND THE WORST ASPECT OF THE GAME PLAY

- there is no free control over players. If you're losing a game and want to get a red card, you can't control a player to go and slide tackle the opposing goalie... it's an extreme example, but the computer has too much control over game play.

Perhaps if EA had an option to turn on/off computer assisted play it would be better - however, that would require competent programmers.

It deserve a 0.. a total dissapoint, Buy Winning Eleven 7!!!

What they produce it's not soccer!!!, I bought fifa 2004 just for the online play, (another disappointment the online gameplay) but just like others fifa's games, a complete dissapoint. It's seems like your game it's a merge of soccer and NFL, NOT soccer at all. Everyone who played real soccer... at least once in it's life, could tell you that fifa series it's not soccer, or it's what EA team think soccer it's.. or should be, but not way of play. Fifa have good grafics, but you don't feel the emotion of the soccer seen graphics, soccer it's passion, not graphics and tactics of NFL games. I won't purchase any fifa game ever!. See what Winning eleven 6 or 7 does, or Word tour soccer 2005 does whith the gameplay.

Fifa '04 Sucks!!!

This game sucks big time and here are the reasons: Users cannot control the pace of the game at different levels.
No classic teams. No plethora of skill moves. Match stats are poor, so are the postgame highlights. All this was in fifa'03 and it was taken away. So, fifa'04 is NOT an improvement on the game. This has resulted in the game having no flair. Imagine Zidane executing the same skill move everytime he dribbles the ball. Sucks doesn't it. You cannot execute the 'stepover nutmeg' in '04, no spin moves in '04, no Pele, no Maradona, no Beckenbauer, no Cruyff. The only good features are 'off the ball' control and set plays that's it. I am in the market for a complete game not this half#ss stuff. It is clear to me that the designers/producers know nothing about soccer and what soccer fans value. Fifa'04 had an opportunity to cement itself as the most complete soccer game, but they whiffed on the chance in the 6yd box facing an empty net. Simply put, for all the novices out there there is NO FUN in '04 relative to '03

Play Winning eleven 6 I promise y'll burn your FIFA 2004

I bet you if you play Winning Eleven 6 you will burn your FIFA 2004, all it has is gloss, good comments, songs,presentative but soccer gameplay - 0 out of 100. If you watch European soccer, you will know that Fifa does not simulate the sport at all. Very sluggish moverments, slow, inability to play the most prestigious soccer tournaments -the world cup, unreasonable gameplay options, VERY LOW AI COMPARED TO THE WINNING ELEVEN 6. Ommision of soccer gaints like holland is not pardonable, not having the ability to create your own tournaments or go straight for the european championship is just silly. If you still play fifa it ONLY because you have not played WINNING ELEVEN 6 which is a lot better. By the way true soccer fans watch out for WINNING ELEVEN 7 import reviews say it's great. ALl soccer fans that dont beleive in Winning eleven go to any professional game site and compare the rankings and review s it blows fifa awaaaaaaaay. It real soccer simulation not like fifa where scoring a goal even a gainst world class setting is like taking candy from a baby. PLAY Winning eleven if you want SOCCER
