Its Those Awards Again...!
After seemingly an age since we posted the nominations for the 2001 Soccer Gaming Awards, we're finally ready to let the people decide. Voting will open on the site on July 1st and close on July 15th, with the results out in the following week. You'll have your chance to reward those people who you think have done soccer gaming proud in the last twelve months - you can read a full list of nominees via the link on the right. More news will be posted in the coming week, so keep your eyes peeled and your browser locked to Soccer Gaming.

well it is the 11th and we have no news of that.

And today I read this:

Good and Bad News
Firstly, let's start with the bad. The release of the new FEd2001 has had to be temporarily delayed. It will not be a large delay so please stay tuned for the new release date. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

I don't like people setting dates, I think just surpise us.

Help?

Yeah, and don't forget about an official Fifa 2002 site and PC screenshots. First i heard that the site will be done and launched on 3 of July, then i heard that the site will be done earlier this week! But now it's a middle and no site have been launched yet! They said that the site will be this Thursday and maybe then EA will say this Sunday!!!! I hate delayes, just like you schmeichel01.

Help?

I'm sorry guys, but its out of our hands. We want to release these things just as much as you want to download them. A "delay" is a bad thing for a website therefore we try our hardest to not have any delays, but sometimes we just can't help it.

In regards to the EA FIFA 2002 website, the videos and PC screenshots, we are only going on what EA have told us. As for FEd2001, something came up that was out of our control which has resulted in the small delay.

We are sorry for this and will do our best to make sure we don't have these delays in the future.

Mat, I am not complaining about your site but all sites in general, like player patcher 2, the official EA site, and numerous other sites (including my own) which always screw the dates around.

Like I said, there will not be any more of this 'on the 29 of july . . . .' Now I will say on the 29th of july 'we have releasedthe . . . '

keeps our hopes from coming up.

I know - it is a pain in the arse but it is beyond control. I've seen sites where they said they'd be releasing certain "most-wanted" items on a certain date, only for it to be delayed...

I had a shock when I saw fifa2001.com - them kits! WTF? Kits made by JJ featured on SG???

THOSE KITS ARE BLOODY EXCELLENT - even the new Real Madrid and Barcelona kits are in there... Gotta D/L them!!!
