HEXUS.gaming examine how the FIFA series has changed over the years, how it started off as champion, lost its crown to Pro Evolution Soccer and then regained its title as the best football game, in more recent years.
FIFA 06 arrived in 2005, and despite being more than 15 years old, remains one of the best iterations of the franchise, particularly on PSP.
One guy sits in a dimly-lit room on his laptop armed with speculation and opinion, a few tweets later and everyone is suitably outraged. Usually its easier to simply utter the words “Meh” and move on, but after a recent headline claiming that launch titles for the next Microsoft console spelled disaster for the big release, maybe its time to have a history lesson.
Everyone loves to look at the past through rose-tinted glasses and shit-tinted goggles for future products, but this should not be the case; let’s take a look at the launch titles for the Xbox 360.
GamingLives mourns the decline of socialising in online games and explores why.
" If an individual wants to include a social side to their gaming, they must now do so in dedicated communities, gaming clans and guilds, or by restricting themselves to their own friendship groups. No longer can it be found in our everyday experiences of the games we play online."
The reason why no one chats in-game anymore is because of three types of people:
1) The assholes that take the game too seriously and insult anyone that's better or worse than them,
2) The trolls that do nothing but teamkill or play loud, obnoxious music through the mic, and
3) The prepubescent snot-nosed children that are a mix of everything above.
If gamers actually had respect for one another and did their best to keep a clean competitive online environment, then maybe more people would be willing to plug their mics in. The odds of that ever happening, though? Slim. Very slim. It's a fact that being an anonymous entity online gives people a scapegoat to be immature; it gives them a mask to hide behind, and it's common for gamers to abuse that anonymity. Half of the stuff gamers say to each other while playing a game, they would never say face-to-face. Try going up to a random person at a gas station or shopping mall and call them a "d***-sucking f***** n*****" or talk about their mother. Odds are they'd deck you in an instant. But online? There's nothing they can do. It's essentially a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
It's a sad reality, but that's just the way it is -- and as much as we want it to change, it probably never will.
fifa 08 was the shiet. thats all i will say
To be fair Fifa 08 was still far off PES 08 (and this was the worst one in years)
Fifa try's to hide its broken shooting engine with more content which most could care less about.
Play Pes and Fifa and you will get what im saying about Fifas shooting engine being broken
I don't know why but the cool thing seems to be to slate fifa and bow down to PES.
Me, I hate PES and love fifa. I have owned every Fifa since 2002/3 and have always tried PES. No match for me. Fifa all the way...
Can't wait until FIFA 09 is out for PS3
fifa was still years away from pro evo, and this was the worst pro evo in years. for me fifa is still a little arcade, pro evo is more a simulation. it's just depends of what u want. hardcore simulation (pes) or a more loose simulation(fifa)
