Earlier this week ,The World Cyber Games Organisation released the list of Games that will be played at this years WCG Finals in Los Angela's.
There was much discussion and rumour floating around the World Fifa Community that Fifa wouldn't be a game selected this year, so many people were holding their breath.
I'm delighted to announce that Fifa 2004 was picked and the World Fifa Community rejoiced in their thousands. It has become very evident over the past 3 years that the World Fifa Community is growing immensely and many look forward to the chance to represent their Nation in the Grand WCG Finals.
So now we know that Fifa 04 is indeed a game to be played at the WCG Finals our next question here in the UK is who will be running the event and when.
At this present moment, not much information is available on this, but here at the SFTLA we are very keen to run the event ourselves and make this years UK Finals for Fifa 04 the best they have ever been. As soon as we find out more information about this we will let you all know.
What we do know is that the UK Finals will be held around September or early October with the possible venues being either London or Birmingham.
Entry to the Finals will cost around £10 and Prizes will be awarded to the Winner(s) as well as the Top 2 Players qualifying for the All Expenses Paid Trip to Los Angela's to compete in the World Finals where a staggering $20,000 is up for grabs to the Winner.
Previous years has brought mixed fortunes for UK Players, with our best achievement being a Silver Medal in the 2002 Finals in Korea in the 2 v 2 Nation Finals.
I believe this year the UK Players will do well and will at least qualify from the Group Stage and hopes are high that this will be our first year that a UK Player will finish in the Prize Money Places. This Year, due to efforts from the SFTLA the standard and number of talented Fifa Players here in the UK is the most its ever been and this really does set us up for a fantastic Finals Day.
We will continue to bring you more information regarding the Fifa 2004 UK Finals as soon as we here more.

A nice little treat here from a very well known and respected Fifa Player. Marco Jongerius aka OmniRocket to his friends has put together a selection of replays showing us some great goals that can be scored playing this beautiful game.
OmniRocket is the current Dutch Champion and has attended all Three World Cyber Games Finals.
In his movie you become quickly aware that this guy has bags of talent when it comes to Fifa and I don't believe it will be very long in coming before we see him win the ultimate prize of World Fifa Champion.
The Movie can be downloaded from Ownage.nl a very big Dutch Fifa Fan site by clicking on the FifaOwnage.zip file. Then once the file has been downloaded, sit back, relax and enjoy some of the best goals in Fifa you will probably see.

You still can run fast and leave your opponents behind with high sprint and speed values players, but speed differences will be lower than the previous 3.0C patch
Try to play with 1 star teams from lower divisions against teams such as Milan, Real, Arsenal and others with great attributes and you will feel the teams performance differences
The game levels are 95% free from every kind of parameters influence .. only CPU bad shot percentage and goalie skills will make the difference between game levels

All the attributes that will be influenced by new parameters are:
Speed, Sprint, Tackling, Condition, Skills, Fitness, Pressing, Aggression, Shot, Strength, Position, Passing, Moral, Dribbling, Marking, Awareness, Heading and Ball Control
Pass Assistance System has been reset at 50%
New Goalie positions and shots, shots will now follow the path you set
Cross System modified
Good Tackling percentage will be very low.. Sweat hard to steel the ball, players tackling attribute will influence this feature
Marking Positions have been squeezed up, getting free from the opponent is harder, especially if his marking value is high
Your shots and passes will often hit the opponent, in this way you'll be involved in new game actions
Infact still more new ball, shots and passes paths. The ball will bounce everywhere.
You can create every kind of new action you want...

Tired of getting beat? Ready to dominate? C'mon, admit it. Haven't you felt this at least once? I know that I have...usually while throwing my controller on the floor. Either your friend is running you all around the field, or the CPU is shutting down your every move.
The cool thing about Fifa Soccer 2004 is its incredible depth. There is always something new to learn and add to your arsenal of weapons. We are very excited to have the opportunity to bring you the Virtual Playbook for Fifa Soccer 2004.

The fact is, becoming a competitive player on Fifa 2004 will take some time and effort. Whether you have a job, school work or other responsibilities, you no doubt have only limited free time. You want to have fun, you want to play the game, not spend days and weeks just trying to figure out the details.
If you are still tracking with me, then the Virtual Playbook will be a great resource to you. It will help you overcome the learning curve quick in areas you haven't already, and improve your approach to playing the game at any level.

Newly updated in version 2.00:
3 new leagues : the MLS, the Brazilian league, the English 1st division
All the teams in the international section have been updated according to the latest results (Euro, Gold Cup,...)
The 7 big leagues of the games (ENG; ITA; FRA; GER; SPA; POR; HOL) have been completely re-worked according to November real life matches as well as some big clubs (Celtic, Rangers, Anderlecht, Sparta Praha, Galatasaray,...) That's why you won't find stars players as Desailly or Scholes in the starting 11 of their clubs.

Soccer Gaming's first review of FIFA 2004 has been posted. IceBlu, a well known moderator from the Soccer Gaming Forums, has put together a very informative review of the FIFA 2004 PC version. In his words:
Kick off! The referee signals the start of the first half and off we go. The controls feel responsive compared to older editions of the game and passing has improved by leaps and bounds. Players actually seem involved in the game. The ground passes aren’t always predictable and get intercepted by the opponent on a regular basis which is a good thing. Same can be said of the aerial passes. They aren’t as accurate as the ground passes but if you get them right, they can be devastating. You can convert defence into attack with one good pass. The “through ball” has been added into the game which is basically what it is in real life. You can thread the needle with a good through ball and have your striker reach it leaving the defenders for dead. Crosses have improved a lot. It is pretty easy to get in a good cross from the flanks.
As all PC lovers await the imminent release of FIFA 2004, it is crucial that you have a controller that can provide you with all the benefits that Off the Ball™ control and the other great new features delivered.

This year the controls are now attribute based and more player specific. As football fans, we enjoy watching players with great skill moves, flair and style and with FIFA Football 2004 and the new Freestyle Control, you too can do the talking on the pitch.
Some of the information Danny provides us on Freestyle Control includes:

It is now Attribute based and player specific
Defensive control added for jostling - you can now push, pull and hold your opponents
You need to practice to get the most out of it and then you can score goals with style

As we continue our in depth focus on FIFA 2004's key features, today we check out Off The Ball™ Control.
There are players whose contribution to the team is as great off the ball as it is on it. Whose skills without the ball are as awesome as everything they do with it.
Like Ronaldinho, reading the game from midfield. Directing his team-mates' moves. Picking out the player who has made the most prescient run off the ball. And delivering the perfect pass to take the opposition apart.
Like Del Piero, fighting for every inch of turf. Making run after run into opposition territory, and being jostled and harassed for his pains. Waiting for that rare chance to receive the ball. And bury it.
Like Thierry Henry, tearing into space off the ball. Running defenders ragged. Calling for the ball so that his team-mates know he's open. And eating it up when it's played into space ahead of him.
These are the players who have inspired the latest version of the world's best-selling football simulation, FIFA Football 2004. And inspired EA to develop Off The Ball™ Control so that you can play like them.
Off The Ball™ Control lets you control the man on the ball and the men off it. Timing runs. Anticipating moves. Positioning players. Making FIFA Football 2004 the complete football simulation.This is a feature I am certainly looking forward to in FIFA 2004.
Whilst we await the arrival of FIFA 2004, have you pre-ordered your copy yet? It's not too late you know, visit our Shop and pre-order your copy so it arrives at the end of October on the day it is released.
