Electronic Arts has been making some pretty major changes to its long-running FIFA Soccer series in recent years, and its 2004 edition is no exception. The game features the same slick presentation, official licenses, and instantly recognizable players that the series is known for, but it also boasts a number of enhancements, including a goal-driven career mode, online play on the PS2, more realistic ball physics, and the well-publicized off-the-ball control. FIFA Soccer 2004 is undoubtedly EA Sports' most realistic soccer game to date. Though some of the new features will inevitably take you a while to get used to--and there's still plenty of room for improvement--it manages to be both enjoyable and challenging. FIFA Soccer 2004 features more than 350 real teams from all over the world, and the first thing you're required to do after booting up the game for the first time is let it know which team you support--or at least which team is your favorite. From that point onward, either your chosen team's colors or those of the league they play in will appear on menu screens within the game. Additionally, your chosen team will also become the default selection for the game's exhibition and practice modes. The other modes of play on offer include no fewer than 17 real cup tournaments and an all-new career mode in which you can attempt to lead any of the clubs featured in the game to glory by using your skills both on the pitch and on the transfer market. In addition to all of that, the PlayStation 2 version features online play, which works well and adds another layer of competition and longevity to the game. After selecting a team to manage in career mode, you'll be given a one-year contract, and then you'll be presented with a series of objectives for the upcoming season. Each of the objectives presents a certain number of prestige points for you if you successfully complete it. In fact, you'll be required to attain a certain number of points each season if you wish to keep your job. Your objectives will vary according to the expectations of the club you're managing, so, for example, one of the smaller teams in the English Carling Premiership might award you prestige points for simply avoiding relegation (in essence, this is a team demotion for not performing as well as expected for a given season) or for conceding fewer than 50 goals in a season. Manning the helm at a major team like Manchester United, for example, will require you to become league champions or, at the very least, it will require you to qualify for one of the big European competitions. Teams will also stipulate certain conditions that could see you losing points, like being relegated or finishing the season with a negative goal difference. These prestige points challenges not only serve to keep the game interesting, no matter what stage of a season or a career you're at, but they also act as a constant reminder of the pressures that face soccer managers in real life......Read full review
Lo bueno: puedes jugar en diferentes ligas en todo el mundo, se incluyeron por primera vez 2 clubes del fútbol argentino y 3 del fútbol mexicano, regresa el campo de entrenamientos Lo malo: mal dribbling de amagues con el análogo derecho, malos balones detenidos (controlas más receptor y olvida a quienes ejecutan), la modalidad de jugar sin balón es bien malo (pierdes movilidad con el jugador con quien tiene el balón y facilmente lo pierde mientras buscas desmarcarte con el compañero) Así y todo tuvo algunos avances importantes con lo mostrado anteriormente en FIFA 2003 y prometedor a lo que se vería después en Euro 2004 y FIFA 2005 con un detalle que realmente encantó a los amantes del FIFA ("el primer toque")
