That´s what I´ve just found on a FIFA site, the official buglist for FIFA 2004 (after the patch I guess)
Here we go:
Fifa 2004 Buglist:
- menu not understandable at a glance
- no useful menu-structure
- menu-screen-resolution too low an not adjustable: schedules, league standings, etc. don`t fit in one screen, not even the whole starting lineups of the teams; partially not visible scrollbars (e.g. in the lineup-screen before starting a game)
- standing-screen overloaded with useless graphics instead of clear presentation (e.g. important standing statistics only visible after scrolling)
- game speed no more adjustable
- only away-team jerseys get dirty
- jerseys get excessively dirty while sun is shining
- graphical bugs during replays
- total lack of league statistics
- sorting players to a statistic resets cursor to first statistic
- no commentary speech for red cards (called as yellow cards)
- injury-causing and game-deciding fouls effect yellow card at the most, while harmless midfield-fouls are punished with red card
- referee strictness no more adjustable
- referee decisions too arbitrary
- offside-line set wrong sometimes; false offside callings
- no real-time-gamemode and not adjustable gametime minute per minute
- home team always kicking off first; no coin toss
- partially away goalkeeper and referee have same jersey color
- commentators are talking about eyerything except the game that is actually running
- commentators talk about injuries that didn?t happen
- commentators consider a player to be out of stamina after 5 minutes in game
- fans in austrian league sing ?you`re never gonna be the german champion? against their austrian opponents
- in champions league all qualified teams of one country play in same division
- league top teams go down to second league, while weak teams play in champions league
- simulated games results irrealistic
- no victory ceremonies, no goodies for winning tournaments
- team`s standings position shown before kickoff incorrect
- day`s matches and standings are neither shown before nor after game
- commentators don`t give additional information to top players like in other easports game series
- too less fan songs, sucks in your ear after half a season
- arbitrary game attendance
- boring stadium atmosphere during the game
- not possible to create own leagues or tournaments
- career mode not available for 1+ players, not even via ip- or network-game
- all schedules wrong; 5 away games follow 5 home games
- every league team should have a game at match day, but some teams have 15 games, others 11 at the same point of time in a season; effects in not understandable at a glance
- after scoring own goals most times the last opponent player having touched the ball ist shown as scorer
- after-injury reentry dates shown wrong
- in league trophy matches the game ends after golden goal instead of continuing
- AI throwing the ball to off-field when throwing in sometimes
- announced voicechat support not available; not even any chat function integrated in the game
- in throw-in-situations the whole team is in standard formation, effecting no chance to execute a fast throw-in to gain advantage of situation
- players sold while playing in career-mode end as lifetime-substitution-players in their new clubs
- no player transfer function available, just changing a player with another
- no player editor available, e.g. to alter the ridicolous and arbitrary given player skills, alter faces, create own players and teams, etc.
- too many red cards in simulated games
- players able to run through goal nets etc.
- as mentioned, player skills are a bad joke
- partially problems substituting a player
- while shooting a penalty, shoot gauge is shown below goalies name
- in second and lower leagues team and player names are not mentioned
- game highlights after game show players not on the field at the time the certain in-game situation took place
- ?highlights? shown in the upper right screen corner during normal game sometimes
- all players have same body size
- hairstyles dissappear in gained distance
- some menu selections just function after double-clicking (e.g. replays)
- turf color most times brown at day, even darker at night
- dribbling tricks useless
- AI players never looking for an unguarded route or space on field; when pressing ?send player?, an obviously randomly chosen player is sent
- AI running to offside and running to offside and running to offside?
- goalkeeper can no more drop ball
- sometimes two games (league and national trophy match) at the same day
- champios league away victorys shown als losses in schedule
- trophy-matches not raffled
- no successful 1 on 1 dribblings in half-professional or higher mode possible; game reduced to highspeed passing
- forward-pass shoot-power not adjustable, making this button useless
- Ai running after player when player running, walking after player when player walking
- partially no end-game-whistle
- partially last minute of a halftime lasts nearly as long as the 44 minutes before
- sometimes national trophy quarter- and halffinal follow each other without any league match in between
- too many goals simulated in career mode
- why are the third jerseys goodies, that are very tough to enable all? is this your definition of long-time-motivation?
- no trophy for national country teams available
- netherlands national team not available
- low graphical player skin quality
- yellow cards of all competitions mixed together; is it finally possible to fix that bug occuring since fifa 95?
- already highlighted players in menu cant be activated via mouse cursor
- gamepads mentioned as compatible in the readme don`t function (e.g right analog stick,?); not even any tutorial to fix it manually at ea website available until now!
- tower camera, together with tele camera the only playable camera, eliminated
- ?revolutionary? off-the-ball-sontrol useless in half-professional+ mode
- don`t professional soccer commentators know how to correctly speak out player names like ?micoud? or ?cerny??
- training a player with 90+ skills not possible cause of prestige-point limitation
- low or bad game performance on certain hardware constellations with at least minimum requirements
- are there any beta-testers? except us customers, who paid around 50 ? to test this beta version after-release?
- official 1.1 patch not working on many pcs
- not possible to save replays or alter screen resolution without patch; not even controller configuration available
- patch itself ridicolous
