PC is and will always be superior to consoles because if you have the know-how you can improve the game in every area. I have owned the latest version of Fifa for the last 4 years and some years I owned multiple copies....and I payed my hard earned money for every copy. PC gamers are the most high brow and intelligent group of gamers there are. Consoles were invented to market to the MAJORITY of people who would game and don't have the know how to run games a the thousands of varities of OS and hardware combinations. A very small minority of people drive Lamborghini, but it is still the best driving experience you can have. PC gamer's who edit the game year in and year out are the consumers of the game that have the most connection with the FIFA games series and telling us that we should buy a console because we are behind the times is laughable. My PCs hardware is 6 months old and it runs circles around the PS3 in every benchmark test. You can be ignorant, which you are, but being ignorant and rude is intolerable.
Well by your logic, why buy a lamborghini when you can just buy the parts and make one yourself?
Also, just because you download and install patches for your PC game doesn't make you any better a gamer than somebody with a console. Even if you design some patches, it's nothing extraordinary unless you have created some of the tools that unpack and repack EA's fsh and other files?
And if it makes you feel better, it's possible to patch games on consoles. The console needs to be modded for that and I've done it putting my favourite team in PES and then winning everything possible with it on my old xbox. I know PS2 gamers have also done it.
Now tell me, how much does a Lamborghini cost compared to a regular car? How much does a high end PC needed to run a next gen FIFA game cost compared to an xbox360 or a ps3?
And what more do you get by playing FIFA on your PC rather than on a console? Ability to change the players' shoes? Big woop. I cared about that when I was 14 and now the games ship with brand name shoes balls and uniforms anyway.
What the console does though, is it runs the game on optimal settings and you get to play it on a large screen tv while most people use small monitors when playing PC games.
If it somehow makes you feel like a bigger man because you are playing your games on your PC rather than on a console, then I'm sorry.
P.S. have fun playing FIFA2005 with an 08 logo on your fantastic PC while I enjoy a truly new game on my crappy xbox360. But don't worry, I'll use this PC that's not good for gaming but can do everything else to tell you about how great the game is.
