I seriously don't understand how they can give it a 9.5 for Gameplay. I've played the demo and its average at best. Certainly not the most realistic football game, like they suggest. The annoying thing is, I know they are going to give PES 2010 an 8 at best :/

It is not a football game. FIFA is a soccer game.

Madden is a football game.

I dont know if this is a joke or not but if youre not jking..

A PES fan boy unhappy Fifa 10 received a high review score? Anyway Soccer is well Soccer. You either love it or hate it. The choice is: Fifa for fully licensed teams and new modes or PES for partially licensed teams and the same old game for the past 5 years?

 

I quite like football, I don't love or hate it.... oh and its football, soccer doesn't exist :P



It deserves 9.3 ,,,,,,whats wrong with u

yeah lets, imperialism ftw!

and that other game invented in the colonies doesnt even count.


Doesn't count? The AFL has the 4th highest average crowd attendence of all sporting leagues in the world. More than the English Premier League & Major League Baseball. Pretty impressive when you take into account there are only 21 million people in Australia compared to 300+ million in the USA & 60 million in UK.

It used to be 3rd until the recent forming of the Indian 20-20 Cricket Premier League which has under 60 games a season, but pulls in big numbers to each game.

There are multiple games of 90+ thousand that attended a regular season game against two local suburbs of Melbourne. The Grand Final had over 100,000 attend last year, and will likely do the same again in the grand final that is held today.

If the AFL is irrelevant because it's only played predominantly in one country, then the same applies for the NFL.



Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

It is not a football game. FIFA is a soccer game.

NO FIFA is a Football Game

MADDEN is an American Football game

Football came before American Football

Soccer doesn't exist


Soccer doesn't exist?

What is this then? Major League Soccer website

In North America (The New World), Soccer exist.


This post is very funny. First, the Major League soccer sucks and should not be used as an example of THE NEW WORLD or any other league in the world.

Second, Mexico and all south america, which are a group of countries that are very VERY important to football compared to the US, call it football, so thats the term the new world actually uses for their favorite sport.

Third, the UK created it and they call it football, so thats its name. Oh and the rest of the world call it football and that matters a hell lot more than just a couple of countries that arent even good at it.



Around the Network

Out of interest does somebody know why american football is called football?

A game beeing played without a ball and almost no feet (except running) called football seems strange to me.

I like Pes far more than Fifa. I like the unpredictability in Pes (bouncing/heavy ball). Fifa feels like dancing on ice "ball = balloon". I still think Fifa is much easier which is good, if you don't want to focus that much. Pes is much harder in my opinion.

Fifa has a lot of good stuff nice features and so on. Their basic gameplay is well "casual". It appeals to more people. EA wants sales simple as that.

Let me ask you this "what makes a game sell like hot cakes?". Make it easy so that many people can play it? Or make it very difficult for the average person? (but more realistic)

You have to look from a publisher perspective. Then you will learn how they make their money. It's an endless discussion in which PES will always lose and always has. Forums have always been pro fifa. This is an economic approach with experience since the start of 3D soccer/football games.

It's funny how we're assuming PES is going to be better , being the complaint of the Author, when PES has only been better than FIFA once or twice in it's life time.

Second Konami always screws up features for could be amazing games or god games (MGS4 online being an example)

Whaaaaa???

We can argue 2008 and 2009 (I still think that PES 2009 is much better than Fifa 09, at least PC versions), but I think everyone accepts it as a fact that PES owned Fifa in all the PS2 iterations

I'll second that "whaaaaaa?".  Fifa has always had it over PES in presentation and style, but has nearly always played the poorer game according to the vast majority of people who know anything about, play or like football. There may have been several years in the last ten where FIFA got close enough to make it a contest but prior to 2008 i don't think FIFA was ever  the better game.

FIFA 98 and FIFA 99 were pretty good.



maybe they played the Wii version because it's control is absolutely awesome!
