Even with all the new features and tweaks EA has added to FIFA 09 however, one still has to wonder just where this game fits in. The FIFA engine as found on Wii is a continuation of the engine that powered the PS2, XBOX and GameCube games, and as such is getting on in years. One has to wonder how much effort EA is going to put into the engine to keep it updated, and because of this FIFA on Wii has a troubling future.
Wii owners will have to hope that EA want to make FIFA a successful franchise on Wii, and here's hoping they do. Until then, it's best to look elsewhere for your soccer fix.
With the current World Cup coverage all around the world, CoffeewithGames takes a look at the play-time data for some Wii soccer(or football) games.
CwG says about FIFA Soccer 10, "FIFA Soccer 10 was released on October 20, 2009, and the data was collected approximately 252 days after it released."
In another section CwG says, "FIFA Soccer 10 has 7,698 players reporting data."
CwG also shows the data for Mario Strikers Charged, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, and FIFA Soccer 09 All-Play.
any of the games shown? If so, would you recommend them to others?
I have played Mario Strikers Charged and thought it was a lot of fun, reminded me A LOT of NHL Hitz.
Also, anybody that keeps up with soccer(or football) know if there is a "favored" team to win the World Cup out of the teams that are still in it?

One of the very highly anticipated games of 2009. Although it doesn't have too many new features, the graphics will be outstanding for sure...
Is that all that matters? Graphics? pfft. Theyll be the same graphics as the last 2 versions.
Gameplay is all that matters.
