I'm a FIFA fan... no longer!!!
I have bought the last 8 FIFA games; but FIFA 2005 was the straw that broke this camel’s (idiot’s) back. It wasn’t until I started reading forums like this that I discovered that FIFA wasn’t the only option. After FIFA WC 2002, FIFA has been going downhill fast. EA ignores everything gamers want and continues to make a profit on those less educated gamers (or the casual gamer).
My favorite thing to play is international cups; I haven’t been able to do so since FIFA 2003. And I have not played with my country Peru since FIFA 2002. I noticed that W11 has Peru (and S. Korea, another favorite of mine not available in FIFA 2005).
I am still a bit hesitant, due to the fact that I have not played
W11 for myself. FIFA 2005 graphics are good and so is the game-play (at least for me).
But what is really pushing me towards W11 is EA’s “we don’t give a crap” attitude. Despite fans that beg for real editing features, better animations that show passion, an international cup mode, S. American squads (Peru, Colombia, Ecuador etc), classic squads (Maradona, Pele etc), EA has continued to ignore all of our pleas and has not included any of these features since 2002.
So that is it!!! Come Feb 2 I am leaving the EA realm and joining the Konami community.
DO I HEAR A “WELCOME FRIEND”... I thought so...
:Carlos*o:
P.S.: I've always been a critic of EA, but now I am acting on it. Oh yeah and how about EA buying the exclusive rights to the NFL. Now Sega can't make an NFL game. It figures because that is the only way EA was going to beat the ESPN 2k5 series, through a monopoly...
