Every year again we are discussing the Fifa games in this forum. Weeks, months (and even years) before its release. Will it be better? What are the new features? Is there Internet play? And we get all crazy of looking forward to this game every year again. Then it comes out, you play it and go back to the forum to complain and are already talking about what should be better and how frustrated you are about the game. Actually the best time you have every year when EA ships its game is before the release. This is chatty, wondering how it will be , getting crazy of excitement. This, my friends, are the best moments, the moments that you look forward to it and expect so much and you wonder if it is really as good as you hope it will be. Once you finally have the game you looked so much forward to and found out after a few hours what's new and you're already used to playing it. Then you will realise that no matter how good/bad the game is The best moments you'll have with Fifa are now, treasure them.

Pim mate, I couldn't agree more. But this time round it feels like Christmas, I've got a good feeling about this one.

Bjf mate i have a special feeling about this one too, let's hope that playing Fifa 2001 will be as good as these exciting moments before the release. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

Pim and bjf mates
this year fifa 2001 will be awsome, believe me. just wait and see.

it'll be great if u like pinball soccer...

Very true my friend, the buildup, reading this and reading that, the screenshots and movies get you pumped up to the point where your about to burst. But let me say one thing, this is the last time if this version is crap im not getting excited over the next one cause the last 2 have been major letdowns. Well boys all our questions will be answered shortly, we can literally start counting the days.

I really hope the game brings the goods this year I'll play the game and enjoy it for a year anyway. I love it at this stage every year cause your always excited and enjoying the chat in the forum and suspence of the waiting it's wonderful.

Bahh, I'm too excited too because i always get excited when a new game is being released but in the end i know the game will not be as i would like it to be and fifa i'm almost sure it will not be... http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/frown.gif( but i know if they would make ISS for PC i would be much more excited and i know the game would be great because you can play ISS for a whole year and Fifa you will only play for a couple of months...

well i play fifa series since 94 version, i have all them, and the best of them, the only one which was a true upgrade was fifa 96 and 98, only these versions had really new amazing graphics, sound and gameplay...
since then every year we are expecting something better from EA, but it's always the same thing.. better and better graphics, damn bad gameplay...
in my opinion this year it wont be different, we are expecting too much but we'll have the same disapointment...
as you can see from EA's faq answers, there's gonna be the same gameplay like fifa 2000...
worst on all that is i'm once again anxious for that new game, and like every year i know i'll be disapointed after playing it..
maybe not on first weeks, where the graphics makes me forget about gameplay, but after that we'll see the real EA's FIFA !
