"Electronic Arts has today released the first information on FIFA 2004, which is currently in development at EA Canada. Unsurprisingly, FIFA 2004 will feature updated information and statistics for all of the 350 teams and 10,000 players included in the game, taken from no fewer than 16 leagues from around the world including the North American Major League.
EA is promising that while FIFA 2004 will be easier to pick up and play than ever before, the game will also offer extra depth for players looking for a lasting challenge. The game's new career mode should go a long way to achieving this, as it will challenge players to take a team from a lower division all the way to the top over a number of seasons, with players required to concern themselves with their club's financial status off the pitch as well as how the team performs on it. Other improvements to the game will include a dynamic weather system, although it's not yet clear if this means that weather conditions could actually change during the course of a match.
It's also been announced today that both the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of FIFA 2004 will support online play via EA Sports Online. Players will not only be able to enjoy matches and tournaments with others from all over the country, but will also have access to an online lobby area and exclusive downloadable content.
The PS2, PC, GameCube, and GBA versions of FIFA 2004 are all scheduled for release this fall, although an Xbox version of the game has yet to be confirmed. We'll bring you more information on FIFA 2004 as soon as it becomes available."

jupp.. aber diesmal online.

natürlich matches gegeneinander austragen...

EA weigert sich nochn immer für alle XBox Spiele eine Online-Funktion einzubauen, weil sie nicht mit MS Online-Gaming-Modell einverstanden sind...unter anderem weil die XBox Live Grundgebühr nicht mögen, die bald monatlich fällig wird.

EA hat trotz großem Erfolg der DC in den USA keine Spiele für die Dreamcast entwickelt... soviel dazu!

Grundgebühren fallen bei Sony keine an... das kann jeder Publisher alleine Regeln... für Spiele, die eine aufwenige Serverwartung erfordern werden von den Publishern selbst Gebühren erhoben.. wie bei der XBox auch.

Warum EA keinen Bock auf MS hat ist glaube ich, weil sie eine eigene Grundgebühr für alle EA Online-Spiele einführen wollen.. sprich, man bezahl monatlich einen bestimmten Betrag un kann dafür alles EA spiele online zocken.

Was hast du eigentlich für ein Problem?
In den anderen Boards (XBox, Cube,...) gibt es auch genug multiplattform-game-threads... die ersten pics sind nunmal von der PS2 und es gibt Infos zu dem PS2 online-mode.
