EA's FIFA Soccer 2004 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.
The Off The Ball play is good in respects, not so good in others, the Career mode is killer, and the other EA features - from the My FIFA to the unbelievable soundtrack to the PC online play give this game such depth, it's just a simply impressive overall package. If you love to play online, then you have got to get this game for the PC or PS2. It's still a good purchase for the other systems, but the new online play is, as they say in the drug clinics, quite addictive.
