FIFA 2004 Excluded International Rosters FAQ by Avro Arrow Version 1.2 (April 10, 2004) - added Morocco Version 1.1 (Feb. 13, 2004) - added Wales - added Skill ratings - made it easier on the eyes Version 1.0 (Feb. 10, 2004) -original -Holland and Canada Copyrights: I took the time to write this FAQ out, so I would appreciate it that no one copies it or puts it on their website without my expressed permission. This rules out plagiarizing and all that other fun stuff. I don't care if you print up a copy for yourselves, as it would probably be much easier for you to create the rosters by doing that. Any ways, enough of the legal mumbo-jumbo. **Table of Contents** 1. Introduction 2. How to Create the Rosters 3. Excluded International Team's Rosters -Holland -Canada -Wales -Morocco ************************* **1. Introduction** For largely unexplained reasons, EA Sports decided to only put a certain amount of international rosters into FIFA 2004. Notable teams, like Holland and Canada (and the game was made in Canada!!), were left out of the game completely. Hence, I have assembled these rosters and what teams they can be found on in the game. Finally, this is my first FAQ, so it is far from perfect. I've started with the teams that I know best, but if you would like to email me another international roster that I have not included, you can reach me at (minus the "nospamplease" part): canuckgrnospamplease@yahoo.com **2. How To Create the Rosters** So how do I create these excluded international rosters you say? Use the following steps to complete this task: -Find a team who's jerseys are the same colour as the team your creating (eg. I used the English 3rd Divisions teams Boston for Holland and Kidderminster for Canada.) WARNING: Under no circumstances should you use Northampton of the English 3rd Division. For some reason the game has a defender listed as the GK and will not allow you to swap in a real keeper. -Go to player swap and trade in the players of the countries national teams. One thing to note, the computer can be very fickle when it comes to swapping out starting GK's. To solve this, go to Team Management and place the goaltender your interested in onto the substitutes bench. This should allow you to swap him in, as long as each team will still have 2 goalkeepers on their roster. -Go to save, then to squads, and rename the unsaved squad file to Dutch (or something like that) and save it. -Start a new career and select default rosters. -Go to the screen where "play next game", "more options", and "career save appear", and then quit the career. -Go back to the save screen and save the default rosters. With this process, when ever you want to play as Holland, simply load the altered squad file. When your done, simply load the default rosters back in and every things back to normal. One thing to note is that in your altered squad files, the swapped players will no longer appear on their club teams. So if you made a Holland team, Bergkamp would no longer appear on Arsenal. **3. Excluded International Rosters** Note: I don't really care if a player has stated they have retired internationally (eg. Bergkamp). If he's in the game and is decent, I'll list him. As well, please note that not all of the players may fit on a teams roster. In some cases, you may have to choose who makes the cut and who does not. The players shall be displayed as follows: Skill Rating - Position - Name - Team Name - League Holland (Netherlands) Team With Orange Jerseys: Boston, English 3rd Division 86 - GK - Westerveld - Real Sociedad - Spanish Primera 67 - GK - Van der Sar - Fulham - English Premier 81 - RB - Reiziger - Barcelona - Spanish Primera 65 - RB - Bouma - PSV Eindhoven - Dutch 87 - RCB- Stam - Lazio - Italian 1st 64 - CB - Ooijer - PSV Eindhoven - Dutch 79 - LCB- Cocu - Barcelona - Spanish Primera 83 - RM - Van der Meyde - Inter Milan - Italian 1st 81 - RWM - Van Bronckhorst - Barcelona - Spanish Primera 77 - LM - Zenden - Middlesbrough - English Premier 92 - RCM - Seedorf - AC Milan - Italian 1st 95 - CM - Davids - Juventus - Italian 1st 77 - CDM - van Bommel - PSV Eindhoven - Dutch 87 - CAM - van der Vaart - Ajax- Dutch 75 - RF - Overmars - Barcelona - Spanish Primera 82 - LF- Robben - PSV Eindhoven - Dutch 89 - ST - Bergkamp - Arsenal - English Premier 87 - ST - Hasselbaink - Chelsea- English Premier 97 - ST - Van Nistelrooy - Manchester United - English Premier 91 - ST - Kluivert - Barcelona - Spanish Primera 87 - ST - Makaay - Bayern Munich - German Bund. 1 Unfortunately, Ronald and Frank DeBoer do not appear to be in the game.
