Lens of Truth writes "Well this is an oddity for us, and another brief Head2Head Screenshot Comparison for you (while we all wait for our Dead Rising 2 Analysis of course). In this Head2Head we bring you the FIFA 11 Demo by EA Sports. Believe it or not this is our first sports title, but from now on we will try to bring you, at least the demos of each new sports title released. From the beginning of LoT, our thought has been that every sports game would perform the same on both consoles. Check below to see if our assumption is correct or, if one of these FIFA’s “kick” the other to the curb. "
Online support for a number of 2010 EA Sports titles is set to end next month.
NBA Jam ? w00t 0_o Thankfully I don't buy any sports games. I hope they are talking about NBA Jam disc based version not the On fire downloadable one
I can understand the need to shut down servers. But doing it for games that only came out last year is a bit ridiculous.
I normally try and defend EA on here because I don't think they are as bad as many people make them out to be but but this would annoy me if I owned any of these games.
They're probably following 2k's lead. 2k has already shut down nba 2k12 servers. Which means the average life expectancy u can get from playing nba 2k13 (if u were to buy it now) would be about 10 months. Don't expect to play online longer than that. That means there product is a NO buy for me. If they offered LAN option on the pc side u could always use Tunngle to play online, but they don't so there's no way to play online.
wow they shut down 2K12 servers already???
at least EA gives people 2-3 years to play online, wow. nobody can complain about EA now
and to be fair to EA they shut servers down based on what percentage of people still play online. I remember them saying that they shut servers down which make up less than 1% of traffic across all EA servers, at least that's what they say.

Yes we can. 2k sports are also on my "no buy" list.
"The decision to retire older EA titles is never easy." That's also what they said when they shut down the servers for BF2: MC.
I think maybe with the release of pay for your own server on BF3 this is what EA might continue to use for all games giving an option for people who want to play it online.
I'm so sick of EA and all the BS, i'm sick of a lot of publishers anymore.

Manager Mode
The staple of FIFA’s offline play. A considerably important feature for the FIFA video game franchise. Over the years it has had it’s ups and downs…plenty of downs. Here are a few:

OMG the audience looks like sh@* on the PS3.
It's close but ps3 has a blurry look to the entire scene in most of those and the 360 appears to have much more detailed textures. EA will probably have it improved before release but at this stage 360 has the edge. Just my opinion based on the screenshots provided.
I have to say that this article is major flamebait.
What happened FIFA 10 looked closer than this. EA is so inconsistent. EA release Crysis 2 already.
If they don't fix this it will be an easy win for the 360 when the final game gets released.
Textures are the same, it's just QAA blurring.
