The state of affairs with next-gen footy

Ok so I'm still waiting to pick up Fifa07 (and later on PES6) here in Canada this coming tuesday/wednsday so I have been checking various sites to get the scoop on what people think about Fifa 07, here's my observation thus far:

Noone has been trashing the gameplay aspect, but it seems that everyone (particularly at fifa07.com) is angry at the fact the game has only 6 leagues, only 37 international teams and a lack of various options (like tourney's and such). It's come to a point that most of them want to change over to PES6 due to the lack of leagues (which imo is ironic as PES6 has fewer leagues, no edit mode and old gen stadia [8 of them in total] but not because of the gameplay!!!! In fact, many people have posted they are going back to current gen just for the licenses!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but over the last number of years I have been reading other people post that they would love to see a major improvement in gameplay in Fifa...this has happened and yet these same people have turned their attention to the lack of features...unbelievable

Yes I know most will say that in order to justify putting down 60.00$ for a game it should have all the features a current gen game has, however people don't realise that in order to put out a next-gen game, hundreds of more people have to be involved in the production of a game and the development cycle needs to be longer...so the chances of getting a fulll game are low...I wouldn't be surprised if Fifa 08 will have only 12 leagues because I see how hard it will be to get all the extra stuff in one year from now.

The point of this thread was to get some of my frustration out, and at the same time see if there are others out there who feel like I do....let yourselves be known! :)

I'm still waiting to buy it as well, and have been reading all of the reviews- as I don't own a 360 and would be buying the system for the new footy games-----------
also hoping there could be a new forum just for the new generaton...

I agree with you 100%, and my friend who works for ea, but in another department, madden, has actually said that its much easier to test a new engine with less variables- hence the six leagues...

but if you haven't read eurogamers review of fifa 07 360 then I suggest you do - it was the best I read...It rated both fifa 07 and pes 360 8/10 and bases it all on gameplay....

I have to say the gameplay has improved tremedously and it's fantastic. The best improvement is the ball physics, it just works and very well. The ball can hit people and land just anywhere. dogfights in the box are just superb, anything can happen.

I didn't like the lack of leagues but as you've said I'd take it anyday with the gameplay improvements. This is the fifa game that we've wanted for years, it really is that good.

However.... it does have bugs, ive seen the ball warp to a players foot when they have run past the ball! thats happened a few times.

Found a new bug on PES6 Xbox 360 last night, OShea and one of the Atletico Madrid players got stuck together and the ball was spinning in between their feet and they just stood still and I couldnt move them! lol

So, i dont understand.... if people is not satisfaced with 6 leagues (the most importants) and furthermore 34 national teams.....then...well...i dont know. If someone preferd not licensed Chelsea, or not Bundesliga, or not Premiership entire league,,,,,and a lot of national teams not licensed (with that fool flag in all the kits) or only 8 stadiums....well....the choice is clear.

Take care
