As we said at first glance, the change is more than cosmetic.
The PS2 version offers many new gameplay level and also offers some highlights like the fact the online game, the only game EA Sports fifa coins for sale series with this. Thus we find a title that offers truly unique aspects. And the latest version of FIFA offers many more new features than we might think and developments affecting the main game engine, both in graphics and in gameplay.
FIFA gets stronger
The first thing you notice is that the Boot the game we have a custom profile, a profile that will allow us to choose a particular team league and here and we were astonished. Not only leave most renowned leagues but other minor. To take a case in the Spanish League, not only the first but also the second division and this happens with almost all the major leagues.
Why this change of heart? Why not follow directly entering the first division? Simple for Career Mode. If, for all modes that have always appeared in the game, ie game mode, multiplayer, tournament, league, is now the career mode. One way that you know other users Ea Sports games, because it is related directly to the Franchise mode titles like NBA Live or Madden.
In this way, and through five seasons take a team, or rather we will try, as we have targets to meet every season and if we do not, the game will end. Obviously not a manager, but it has advantages over other competitive games since starting from second division, for example, we can make a team to win all competitions existing, something that really is a challenge to some of the second equipment.
This of course is something that until now had not seemed in FIFA, but also if you add all the existing database players (because they are ALL) certainly makes it one of the most complete football products in this area and this is something that certainly always is felt.
However, this is an aspect that has always been at the FIFA day. What happens when we jumped into the football field? This is the real crux of the issue with the EA Sports game.
On the field: Many changes
last year I could see as FIFA was increasingly changing their conception and as was still a full arcade, to become gradually more complete simulator, which until then had not been well . These changes were due to the stiff competition prevailing in Pro Evolution. This competition has not ceased to exist and therefore has not ceased to evolve the game at hand.
In fact, the game offers, at normal levels of difficulty, much more complexity when of scoring and has become much more tactical. We have seen as no more respect for each strategy lines, which, we find a game that football, in every game, it becomes very tactical and you may have to change over a same party tactics.
Another aspect that we have observed is that players get tired really considering time. So far, and this happens in every football game, the players got tired really and as you never played the game in 45 minutes, we could always play smoothly every minute of the title, the result was unrealistic. In this FIFA this has been fixed, offering users an equivalent version while we are playing, so we have to make changes.
Injuries also were improved. Not that there is more that it is true that there are, but now also are of varying severity, which will not have to forcibly change a player, but it is true that, as happens in reality, if not change it, the player will participate in the game at a slower pace than it does and therefore, will be almost useless for team play.
All this is enhanced by the camera is now quite farthest, which gives a greater sense of vision of the field and, therefore, lines of sight and playability forward. But all that we discussed is further enhanced with the gameplay Off the Ball.
Without ball control
in the new FIFA there are now two very different modes of play, with the ball and without it. While the control with the ball has changed somewhat, but still looking like what we have already had seen earlier in the EA Sports game, though it has added the ability to walk, that is, to fully control the ball. From here we can, quietly changing the way we do things because we threaten, give precise passes, etc..
However, the star is the game mode “Off the Ball”, when activated, the camera will go further back and at that time we can see how to control one of the three players, which also is changeable by a key . The result is, if we get used to, the achievement of plays truly professional, although I will say it will take getting used enough, because we will need all our coordination to do so.
Control with PAD PS2 has seemed fairly good, if not, the best of all the versions that have this game mode (is exempt GC version). The game’s controls are extremely natural and within five minutes we’ll be used and we will control all functions of the game. But yes, for the Off the Ball will need some more time but not the pad, but the issue of coordination
Multiplayer
Interestingly, this year there are two multiplayer versions. The PC and PS2. The big news is obviously the PS2 version that uses broadband peripheral to play. The truth is that we have proved pleasantly surprised us. No lag and the gameplay is perfect. Yes, forget about cheating here because we’ll face is a human and do not have the typical failures of AI.
FIFA is precisely where shows their weapons because Online mode gameplay changes completely and becomes a fun much like playing two humans on the same console. Really spectacular in every way.
The graphics
If there is something FIFA is characterized by offering users the most realistic and dramatic version in terms of graphics of sports offered by your online and the truth is that this year’s FIFA is really spectacular. A level data are included absolutely all the equipments of the leagues and divisions, and their sponsors, thus offering one of the most complete games we’ve had the chance to see.
But it is amazing to see some of the star players with real faces, it almost seems that you are going to say hello. Ronaldinho, DelPiero, Henry, Beckhamp, I assure you breathtaking view something. It really has made our live football on PS2
Also the animations are detailed and repetitions are spectacular. We have included some of them, where you discuss the play perfectly and with arrows, and directions, offering a more complete repetition of what we had seen so far.
Sound
The sound is, as always excellent. Grand dub, with the usual comments Paco Gonzalez y Manolo Lama and his “jokes” before each game and after. But what most struck us is that reprimands are now much more realistic and some of them make direct reference to the arbitrator, offering an experience, if anything, much more interactive.
The game has a sound created in Dolby Prologic, which does not reach the quality of Dolby Digital Xbox, but since then, the game wins and much in other aspects of the game. Really impressive in these senses, and we can live the game as if we were right in the middle of the field
Our opinion
FIFA Football 2004 is a new leap in a series. They have improved every aspect of the game and has been more towards the simulator. Keep touch arcade offering the user not to despair, but in the higher difficulty modes does not exist, so that the game is really a simulator. If we also add career mode, the graphics and sound, we find a truly spectacular game.
