EA has announced that a playable demo for their upcoming football sim based on the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is set to land tomorrow, 8 April, on Xbox LIVE and PSN.
The guys at FIFA Insider take a look at DLC and how it fits FIFA's yearly model.
Sports games that have outlived their playability
So wait..EVERY major video game sports franchise needs to die?
Wrong hobby..knitting sounds more your speed..
Don't like sports games then don't buy em' (which I'm sure you NEVER did)..but to pretend they ALL need to die is IMO idiotic.
Evil
These franchises certainly don't need to "die".
Your probably upset with these games because their yearly hits...and here's why. It's just a tradition..nothing else. America has accustomed itself to have a new game every year for sports. Updating players, teams, and playstyles...it's all become the same game every year, but for the players of these games it's actually a new experience everytime.
So to think they need to die...I think your just mad that their selling...kind of like hating on Justin Bieber because he sells out like no other..hahaha
Did anyone read this article? My god that would have received an F in a 5th grade english class...
Here is the Madden portion for those too lazy to click the link:
"Madden NFL – For those who are football fans, this series has been around since 1988 and changed names slightly along the way. Regardless it is still a game that lets players choose a football team and play against the other teams. Granted there have been teams added and closed out over the years and the team players are traded to other teams, the game really isn’t any different. It’s time to find a new football game, maybe one that includes college teams or allows the gamer to create their own fictitious team."
"Tiger Woods PGA Tour – Here is the golf fans game and another one that went through a name change when Tiger Woods became THE name in golf. How exciting can golf be where you need a new game every year? Truthfully they need to let it rest for a bit and then come back so that perhaps they will gain new fans"
So the despite the title the theme seemed to be not so much "die" as rest or be updated in some massive way.
I singled the Tiger Woods game out, because I do think at this point they might as well go ahead and give it a name change and not focus so much on Tiger. Especially not as much as they did in this year addition.
With the 2010 FIFA World Cup in full-swing on televisions around the globe we here at PlanetXbox360.com figured now was a better time than ever to dive into the top 10 goals ever scored in the sport of video game soccer (via an expansive YouTube search). This is something we have always been entertained by as there is nothing better than seeing a real-life soccer player put the ball into the net in the most amazing way imaginable. A couple goals from the 2010 World Cup already stand-out in our minds as having the ability to show people exactly why soccer is the most-popular sport on the planet (for examples watch the USA or Portugal matches). Because EA Sports has been doing a FIFA soccer game for decades now it comes as no surprise that the internet is full of videos claiming to be the "best and most amazing goal ever" - as journalists it was of course our job to do the dirty-work and figure out exactly which ones were good enough to make the top 10 list (with videos).
the best goal of all time goes to andres escobar on the own goal against USA 1994.

May very well be the worst top 10 list I've ever read, just check out EA's official videos. Such as: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
