In the grand scheme of things, FIFA Soccer 2004 is a good PC game. It adapts well to newcomers but keeps plenty in reserve for skilled, seasoned veterans. It is the first FIFA to feature a career mode. And, despite some issues we'll tackle later, it is nicely presented and blessed with an incredibly deep control system. Unfortunately, it is marred with blemishes. It also follows a pattern that's beginning to creep into the most recent versions of some of EA Sports' team sport titles. Namely, despite its many positive attributes, its most important element--gameplay--simply doesn't seem to be advancing quite as quickly as it should.

In that time, EA Sports has blown the roof off of the game's audio-video components.
