FIFA 2004 tournament

Hey everyone. Is anyone down for a FIFA 2004 tournament?👋

Sure. What kind of tournament are we talking about here? Online or a live one on the PlayStation 2?

Wait, what exactly is PES 4? 😁

Honestly, I’d much rather just do a tournament with the International Space Station series or Winning Eleven.

Oh, I see.. 🤔 It’s basically the same thing anyway 😬 calling PES anything other than Pro Evolution Soccer 😂 is just being pedantic.

Anyway... who even cares? 😁

Whatever, yeah, count me in...🙏

Wait, how? Where exactly?
Man, I am seriously always bugging you guys about China!🙂

Give me some more details here...
Are we talking about doing this for the money, or just for the ego?

Just for kicks, screw all your money.

Count me in...
Honestly, whether we do this online or in person, it doesn't matter—though let's be real, being there live is a hundred times better and way more high-energy...

If someone actually steps up to organize this thing, I don't think we'll have any trouble finding people to join...👍

It works at my place! As long as we can keep it under budget!

Honestly, I think I'll pass... if I end up conceding some absolute garbage goal, there's a high probability I'll end up chucking my controller somewhere😁 — with everything I've got, too.

Actually, maybe I should go for it..

Screw the money, though—it's all about the glory..👍 😁

I’d probably give it a shot too.

Hey, HRC20, you planning on running the show this time?

Don't tell me you started this whole thread just to mess with us for the hell of it...
Man, I don't even know how many people have already chimed in on this...

Honestly, trying to pull off a live tournament is going to be a massive headache because most of us don't exactly live within driving distance of a major hub like Chicago where it’d probably end up happening anyway.
And here we go again with the age-old debate: are we actually playing this on a PlayStation or just sticking to the PC?

I play Pro Evolution Soccer on my PC, but I’ve got this controller that’s basically a carbon copy of the one you get with a PlayStation, so I don't really run into any issues. It's pretty seamless.
Let’s be real, though—anyone trying to tackle this on anything other than a standard controller is basically asking for a headache. If you're out here trying to play with some off-brand gamepad or, God forbid, attempting to use a keyboard, you’re going to run straight into a wall. It’s just not built for it, and honestly, good luck even getting halfway through a match without losing your mind.

But honestly, the main thing is just getting the game running... because let's be real, who else would even step up to organize something like this? Would the Human Rights Commission actually pull off HRC20? I highly doubt it.

It looks like HRC20 was nothing more than a massive bait and switch for us.
You absolute frauds, you stir up all this drama and then just vanish into thin air.😁 😁 😁

I'm living in a small town. I've got a PlayStation 2, so we should probably keep the group to eight people max to make it work. How does next Sunday sound? Who's down to head over to my place in this small town next Sunday?

So, who's actually stepping up to organize this? 😁

Looks like I can probably make it out to a Small town this Sunday. I've still got three empty seats in my car, so if anyone wants to tag along...

rapidhound78 said:I can probably make it out to that Small town this Sunday. I've got three extra seats in my car, so whoever wants to tag along is welcome...

Yeah, right. I'd love to see the "volunteer" who’s actually willing to drive through that mess with a full tank of gas.😂

Man, I am seriously jealous of you guys (it’s honestly such a trek for me to drive all the way out to a Small town just to play Pro Evolution Soccer). Maybe in a different life, or some better times when I actually have a ride...😢
Anyway, whatever—I guess I'll just have to recruit the neighbors for a few matches instead. They're basically my regular customers anyway...

rapidhound78, count me in for now if you're driving. I'll make a final call in a day or two once I see how much my exams are going to kick my ass.

I’m totally on board with that too...

Maybe someone could grab an extra PlayStation if they're up for it? It'd be nice to avoid a massive bottleneck at the console...
Hey boldhound8, you probably have two phones on you, right?😁

Pro Evolution Soccer—always on the PlayStation, obviously. PC? Please... they wouldn't stand a chance. It’s a shame I’m based in Miami, otherwise, I’d make the trip to a Small town to settle this myself.😬
