    Not to be outdone by "Winning Eleven 6," EA Sports has pulled out all the stops and created a soccer game that is second to none... I dare you to find a soccer game where the ball moves so dynamically and realistically. [Nov 2003, p.108]
  2. 85
    Offers the most significant changes the game has seen in years. The core gameplay is changing ever so slowly from super arcade play to a more comprehensive, more realistic style of soccer, and the series is better for it. But it's not quite there yet.
  3. 83
    Other than the lackluster practice mode, everything in FIFA 2004 is spot-on.

    An entertaining game, and though it still can't quite match Konami's "Winning Eleven 6" on PS2, it's heading in the right direction. [Feb 2004, p.74]
  5. The controls simply ruin the overall experience.
  6. Despite its many positive attributes, its most important element--gameplay--simply doesn't seem to be advancing quite as quickly as it should.
  7. Computer Games Magazine
    40
    The worst thing any game can be is predictable, and FIFA Soccer 2004 is one of the most predictable sports game in recent memory. [Feb 2004, p.72]

    Look how they massacred my boy Dinho, literally copied a monkey face above his body. If this game was made in this day and age Electronic ArtsLook how they massacred my boy Dinho, literally copied a monkey face above his body. If this game was made in this day and age Electronic Arts would be cancelled and bankrupt, without all the awful things pioneered by this capitalism giant, like stealing all the major devs from rival companies after a competitor game succeeds and child gambling. This game is the first hint of the evil nature of this disgraceful company, that should be publicly referred as the Nestlé of the gaming industry. Expand
