YES!we here in N.A. will get our hands on the WE(PES) series.I have heard many great things about this game from these forums and have always wanted to PLAY the game.
Madden=WE(PES)
NFL2k=FIFA
I am an avid Madden player and now we in N.A. will get to experience another great SIM game in WE6I(PES2).Futbol,the biggest sport in the world,played the way it should be played -WE(PES)-
FIFA2003 is my favourite out of the series but I bet it is nothing like WE(PES).
The only drawback is that it's NOT ONLINE.Hopefully WE7 will be online or better yet it is a MUST.I am certain EA will make FIFA2004 Online,so Konami will probably also have this feature for WE7.
Hail Konami. 2 days to go.

I will buy my copy for the PS2.

You are mistaken. I know Madden has a larger following and that its fans can be rather rabid. Yet, it is commonly known that NFL2k3 is more of a simulation than Madden 2003. Read all the reviews and that is the message they are trying to get across. It is harder to score in NFL2k3, i know, I play the game regularly. Infact FIFA = Madden in every sense. Madden is more Arcadey, more popular, well-marketed, and made to entice casual gamers, whereas NFL2k3 is made for the hardcore American football fan.

Anyway, in order not to go against the grain of these forums, yes... WE6I is finally here and it will rock our lives..

I don't like American football, but I am quite sure Maestro is correct in saying that you got the NFL comparision flipped around. Like FIFA, all other EA games are also usually known to be quite lousy in comparision to Sega's offernings. Also, I *am* an NHL fan and I can say definitely that EA's NHL series is a flaming pile of dog poo compared to NHL2K. :)

Ea = the suck. :p

Really ? I will see U online>where real football is played.

Yhea I agree with U on NHL2003,EA really dropped the ball on the last version it blows.

On the other note:Madden vs NFL2k? , there is no comparison,Madden is the ONLY game.

At least some of you can enjoy other sports, thats just too bad for me. I can't enjoy them for some reason. I am stuck with FIFA for the past few years, the game was so lousy. Thats why I can't wait for WE6i to be released here in NA, hopefully today/tomorrow I will recieve it. :p

Everyone who plays sports games know that sega's 2K series is better than EA sports with the EXCEPTION of MADDEN! Madden is a much more complete game than 2k3!
