   It seems ok but they had better make it better than 2001 and 2002 version’s which had really bad controls and it would take forever to make a goal and the other team kept making every shot.

   I got FIFA 2003 because I really loved the 2002 FIFA World Cup Edition. When I first played FIFA 2003 I thought it was ok and as I started playing it more it got worse. You can’t turn well and every time I’ve done an aggressive slide tackle and hit the player I’ve gotton a yellow card. In the 2002 FIFA World Cup Edition you can make the ref as tense or as loose as you want. IF you’re going to buy a soccer game I reccomend getting the 2002 FIFA World Cup Edition because it’s better and it costs less money.

   I have been playing Fifa games since they first came out on Sega. For those youngsters out there, that means over 8 years ago. Granted some years are worse than others, for example 2000. This year has been also a mayor disapoitment. First the Bad. For the 9 years we have been playing the game the sprint button has always been the Green Triangle, guess what now it is R1. Why? Well that is a million dollar question, because there has never been a single complaint about it. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but trust me, for those of you who have been playing many years you will get messed up, it simply instinct by now. Now the Green Triangle is passing to the open area, doesn’t make any sense. Sprinting is the most used button in Fifa, and changing it fouls up everything. Now while you sprint you have to pause in order to pass, somehow while sprinting you don’t have enough control over the player, so if your sprinting and want to shoot you need to let go the sprint button (R1) first. This is very annoying, it means reaction time now takes about three seconds at least after presing pass, shoot or just dribbling in a different direction.

   Now for the ugly. The camera view has changed once again. Some may say, “Well just change it” its that simply. Well actually no! Those who play Fifa always play camera view, it has the best view of the field. World Cup 2002 had a great camera view, it looked spectacular. That’s exactly the problem with EA, always trying to reenvent the wheel. Instead of improving on the game qualities they go ahead and reevent it so it looks and feels different since they beleive that is what people expects. Well it isn’t. We expect you to fix the flaws in a game, to improve game play and simulation, to improve graphics, add more teams. If they wanted to change something, they should haved changed that old scottish comentator, hes too annoying. A commentator brings emotion to the game, even if its dull. Which brings me to the good.

   After many years of waiting and wishing, EA finally grew a brain cell and added spanish commentary. Beleive me it makes the game worthy of footbal. Thats right football not soccer! In football you yell Goooollll! And in soccer Score! Score? Just ridiculous. The commentary is up to the second and they even fill you in on interesting facts about the players, like how well they did in the world cup.

   Some of you might be saying well its just a game, don’t take it too seriuosly. Well it isn’t a game, its Football. Wether you are playing it out on a soccer field, on the streets or even on a game console it is still Football.

   I don’t think it is as good as Fifa World Cup 2002. It graphics are better but 2002 game play is a lot better. My friend all think 2002 is better. This game’s good but 2002 is a lot better.

   I”m a big soccer fan, and FIFA 2003 is awesome. My only complaint is that Ally McCoist, (hope I spelled it right). His accent can be difficult to understand at times. John Motson was much clearer to understand. Could be dialect thing or something. LOL. Anyway, great job as always. Keep up the good work
