Submit questions for FIFA 2003 producer

Post by **Jared** » Wed Oct 02, 2002 6:24 pm

Hey,
 
 We´ve got an interview lined up with a producer of FIFA 2003. Please submit your questions to the forum here in the next few days....around the end of the week, we´ll collect the questions and send them to EA.
 
 By the way, we reserve the right to not send stupid questions (yes, there is such a thing), and they reserve the right to not answer them.
 
 Thanks,
 Jared

Don´t know whether this has been answered but... Are there 1st, 2nd and 3rd English divisions implemented into the game? Also, will you be releasing any patchs for the final version of Fifa (bug fixes, extra crowd chants, minor gameplay fixes etc), or will you leave this down to the public to deal with? Thx <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">
 
 oh and what is your proudest feature in Fifa 2003? [ This message was edited by: Punzz on 04-10-2002 01:54 ]

I have a few questions in regards to FIFA 2003:
 
 1) Will there be in-game commentary, with greater detail?
 
 2) Will victories in competitions (for example) FA Cup etc. be rewarded with prizemoney and other bonuses?
 
 3) Will there be the ability for player stats to go up and down, depending on the way that they play throughout the season?
 
 4) Will teams offer to buy and sell or trade players during the seasons?
 
 5) Will the release date for FIFA 2003 vary worldwide, or will it be the same (Eg. Australia.)
 
 Thanks Alot. Keep up the great work, and continue making the FIFA titles annually!

I put this on the general forum page by accident.....
 
 1) will there be a selection of balls for each platform?
 
 2)Is the game speed still customisable?
 
 3)Since the PS2 version won´t be compatible with online...will EA have available the rosters to download to memory card via Sharkport?
 
 4) In last years version,it was next to impossible to get a hard low shot on the net, has this been corrected?
 
 Thanks..I hope at least 1 of these Q´s gets through...

Today I downloaded the FIFA2003 DEMO and installed it.But to my surprise,the game doesn´t work.Then I read the README file,and setup the directx8.1.My video card driver was also updated. Unfortunately the problem does also exist.AND I found the same happened to many others fans.In addition,I find that the Video Cards NOT supported by FIFA FOOTBALL 2003 DEMO is so many.I sincerely hope the FIFA2003 FINAL will fix the errors and support more video cards(such as more ATI video card series).Please refer my ideas to the FIFA2003 WORKGROUP and reply to me.Thanks!

SORRY! I posted this in another place by mistake:
 
 hey I´m a big fifa fan
 I have some questions:
 1)does the AI gameplay and strategy change according to earlier results ? for example if the AI lost the first leg in a cup 3-0 then will play with more attackive strategy in the second leg in order to qualify ??
 2)did you fix the problem of players walking through other players or ad boards??
 3)will clubchampion teams play on their home stadium in season (like manchester playing on old tradford in the premiership and FA cup)??
 sorry for the long massage

TSGalk,
 
 I´ve already sent the interview off, so I can´t add that last question. As for spin, I´ll let you know once I´ve played it for a few days.
 
 As for divisions, they don´t have full 1st and 2nd divisions. But they do have a few clubs from the 2nd division for most leagues in order to have promotion/relegation. I don´t know if they have plans for a full division structure...but I asked that, so we´ll hopefully find out soon.
 
 Thanks,
 Jared

Dear Tsgalk!
 Taste with key Shift + Cursors
 
 Greetings...

Tsgalk,
 
 You can put spins on free kicks. I haven´t seen a way to do it in the real game...but I haven´t read the manual yet...maybe I should do that first. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">

When we will receive answers on questions?

Post by **Jared** » Tue Oct 22, 2002 12:21 pm

Popkorn,
 
 The Polish league is not in the version of FIFA 2003 I´m playing...so it´s likely that it´s not there at all. I don´t remember any Polish club sides...but there may be one. I´ll try and let you know.
 
 No anthems. It´s a bummer. And I haven´t played a more full PC version, but I´m sure the missing heads problem will be eliminated.
 
 And as to when we´ll receive answers....when the dev team gets the answers to me. Your guess is as good as mine.
 
 Brazilrules,
 
 Yes...there are Greek teams...don´t remember off the top of my head, but I think it´s the big three (Olympiakos, Panathanaikos, and....I forget the other one...sorry, not anywhere near my PS2 right now).
 
 Tsgalk,
 
 No ball spin that I´ve noticed. They don´t have any instructions for that in the manual either.
 
 Hope that answers those questions...let me know if there are any other ones.
 
 Jared

Well, there is ball spin on free kicks, if that makes you feel any better. But not during normal gameplay.
 
 True, it´s not terribly realistic. But I´d much rather they work on actual gameplay than focus on stuff like ball spin. It doesn´t seem like a terribly important game addition (esp. since ball spin could be abused in FIFA WC 2002).
 
 Oh, and popkorn. There is one Polish team in the game. Wisla Krakow. Enjoy.
