FIFA Soccer 2004 continues EA SPORTS' best-selling franchise on a new platform, with a new control scheme and an deeper Career Mode. As in past versions, gamers are treated to a comprehensive lineup of teams and players, with over 500 official licenses that include Major League Soccer as well as the top teams from Europe and South America. The stars compete in a number of authentic stadiums, with the atmosphere further heightened by a number of additional crowd chants over previous titles in the series. A feature referred to as "Off the Ball Control" lets players guide those apart from whoever is in possession of the ball, helping to create scoring opportunities by running to different parts of the field, calling in tackles, and more. Individual plays, strategies, and formations can also be adjusted on the fly. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
