There is nothing constructive here. Many people here hate EA for the same reason others hate McDonalld's or WalMart. They attack the symbol over the product.
The product, as I see it, is pretty good minus a few bugs. I will try all footie games available on PC in North America with an open mind, but it certainly won't be because you guys spent the better part of your sad lives here thinking EA gives a f u c k about what you think. Your comments aren't going to shape FIFA's development or strategy or programming. If you believe what you say, that EA are concerned ony with making money - (it is a business in a capitalist world) move on to a game you feel better represents your desires, not come back year after year hoping for an improvement. Guys like Tristan, you've never been pleased with FIFA yet ... why do you bother? I can guarantee this much, when FIFA 2004 is released, after you've all complained for a year about how much the series sucks, you'll buy it again. I suspect you'll buy it with hopes that it does suck, so you have fuel to complain for another 12 months and annoy those who are here because we like to program.
If these other games WES2, Konami whatever, etc. - and I'll concede I've never played them - were as good as their "supporters" say they are, I don't know why they are in this forum amassing hundreds and thousands of posts. I'm not one to say how you should spend your free time, but for the love of God, try and salvage a bit of a life you witless dummies.
All my love.
