thats the truth! nhl and nba rocks more than fifa! ever, sice over 5 years and more! in nhl the graphic is better, more statistics,...
and now i will tell ya why, cause american and canadian have no clou about soccer! hockey and basketball are more atractive in the us and in canada so they do a better job with this 2 games! but thats f***ed up! i'm from germany an i'm a big soccer fan! i wish that i couldt tell EA how to make this game look better, feel better and sell better *gg* too!
so go on EA and rock da house in 2002!!!

Man, that argument is F U C K I N G out to lunch. I don't think EA's developing team is the reason the game isn't "realistic" enough - that, I think, has a lot to do with programming ability, licensing rights, etc. I'm sure they didn't say, let's sit down and make a ****ery of this game to upset the people overseas. Remember - they want to sell the product. I'm sure they watch a nice bit of film, have an advisor, and get as close to football as possible. The other reason is that there are purists, like us, and someone who is just going to pick it up ... so they keep some of the arcade elements in it for those who don't care too much.

That's my theory, anyway.
