Why because they dont wnat to play it???

Its a game that plays better than the previous version(wasnt hard tho)

At the end of the day WE10 will be great but amazing i wait to see!!!!!

@ Noted- I have to agree it plays decent and at least they are trying to improve the game.
 
Most of us can't play Winning Eleven that's why. I'll get in on the act when I get my region-free PS3.

If England win this World Cup, which I think is our best chance in decades, I'll be buying this as a souvineer.

Don't make me laugh :lol:
 
dont be so sure you'll never know ;)....... well you will in october :mrgreen:
 
I think its fine getting excited about a game which has potential to be great, but with experience it wont come from Fifa game.

I remember when I saw pics of RTWC and simply couldnt wait to play it. After the intial buzz over next gen graphics wore off, all that was left was some awful gameplay.

Im sure a lot of you guys will do what I did with Fifa 06.

Thats play the demo...think its very good...play the game...again think its very good...wait 2 days...play the game again and realise its very annoying flaws.

After all that, if any of you get WE10 you'll play it and realise how superior the game really is.

And dont call me biased, I actually own Fifa 06 on PS2.
 
There is NEVER smart money on the Netherlands, lol, they are like Spain, you weigh it up, but in the end you know they will fall apart, someone will fall out, get sent home, leave, slag off the coach or basically fail at the final hurdle ;)

But anyway head over to football discussion section to continue this debate, anymore comments about who is winning the World Cup in this thread will be deleted, heed my words ;)

good point, but should we all get excited about we10 as its basically we9 with a few bits on top, as was we8.

Maybe if there was to be some groundbreaking new gameplay or features, but there wont be.:)

i thought rtwc was atrocious, however i like the look of this one. i played the pc demo, and as long as it plays like that then ill be happy.

It might not be as good as pes/we but as long as its enjoyable to play ill buy it. I need a change away from pes/we, im getting bored of them. Maybe a change will re-kindle my interest.
 
I JUST got Fifa Road to the world cup and it's not THAT bad but videos and pc demo of the new fifa world cup are much better. hope the 80% finished copies that were used as previews are actually being worked on more to be even better. April 24th for me

i´m still a fan of PES/WE but i must say that fifa world cup 06 could be the first EA game that i´ll buy. the new shoot and ball physik looks great and also the headers ... very nice ... and the new classic mod and the penalty mod sounds great too ...
 
OMG, EA HAS to be fucking kidding!

Ball physics? When you pass the ball to somebody on the other side of the pitch it has such unreal flight curve and the player gets it straight to his feet.

Realism? You can't even control the power of the ball. Like I said, the player gets it straight to his feet when you pass a high ball.

Better than PES? Come on EA, wake up. Nice graphics and menu songs don't make a game good. And you can't even change the controlls and the resolution in the demo. As far as I can remember, PES5 demo had that option.

Just horrible...
 
I won't even bother. I allready deleted the demo. The game is not even worth downloading for free.
 
ok played demo now for couple days on slow gamespeed and world class difficulty level and i must say its great. passing the ball in air and ground is done very well and shooting is great too. animations are many times better than in PES5, i remember PES4 when i played first couple games i felt it was rubbish, ofcourse it got better every time i played it, PES5 felt good at the start and so did FIFA 06 World Cup and feels better every time i play it, it actually has stopped me for playing PES5 i never expected a FIFA game to do that! for the time until PES6 arrives to 360 FIFA06WC is good game.
 
I still like it but yes some horrible bits of FIFA 06 still crop up every now and then with the shooting system and the fact the goalies become super goalies on the Pro mode upwards!

Still worth a purchase I think not a bad title until PES6.

I'm trying to install this demo on my PC but it keeps telling me I have to have directx 9.0c to play. I already have this installed but it gives me the same message. Any ideas?

maybe reinstall directx 9.0c maybe install what comes with the demo .

and yeah the goalies are bit too good on higher difficulties. its a bit annoying. maybe editing some goalie skill would help?
 
For those of us without modded/chipped PS2s, the FIFA franchise is all we have to look forward to. I have a 360 so rather than waiting a year for Konami to release something (if indeed anything) to play, EA are the only company willing to provide worldwide support to lovers of the game.

I'm hoping this game is good, the demo plays better than the RTWC game which is promising and I'm looking forward to FIFA 07 in the Fall. The Konami fanboys need to chill out and probably piss off because like I said, what alternative is there if we don't have a modded PS2 to play WE10?

I'm in the same boat. Well, I don't have a 360 but all I have is a PS2. There is no way I'm waiting a year until we get WE10 when Japan is getting it next week. This isn't a freaking RPG.
 
Well Wolf it's not for anyone to tell you what to do, but maybe a 2nd-hand PS2 with a basic swap mod would do the job in the meantime? If it came down to a choice of playing the latest WE versions or owning the 360, for me it would be the modded PS2, easily.

And I would love to see FIFA provide some competitiion in the gameplay dept. but I don't think that's ever going to happen with this particular development team. How many versions now have they released which don't match up to Konami in the gameplay stakes? If they haven't even got close by now, then I don't hold out much hope of it ever happening. Despite a few folk here having a fairly positive opinion of recent FIFAs, I've yet to see a single person say they thought it was as good as WE/PES' gameplay. It's a vicious circle, EA are not going to hand the job over to another development team as long as the current one, EA Canada, I think, continue to produce a game which makes a healthy profit.

I am hardly a Konami fanboy (I've had many a rant at their games despite loving the series in general), for me it's just that once again FIFA's engine is inferior and this is the FIFA topic, so I see no problem in posting that opinion here.
 
im not sure if EA wants FIFA to be too similar to PES (i think they could make it play like PES for next version if they wanted that) for some ppl PES gameplay is too hard and they want faster easier gameplay they are marketed for different groups of players? i must say that PES5 shooting system is far better than the latest found in FIFA 06 WC but its not bad either. goalie AI is where FIFA needs to improve maybe the most because they get too good when selecting harder difficultie levels. but i dont like that whats in PES5 either when pretty often goalie just looks and doesnt do anything(maybe fixed in WE 10?)
 
I hate the fact that PES5 seems to talk bullshit especially when all of a sudden your players play like complete retards for no reason and you lose the game! I find PES insanely hard on 4 stars let alone 6 as some people play! There are times though when I play PES and think yep that was good and stuff like that would really happen.

And as for super cancel dont even get me started! Im sick of players just standing like statues or running where they want to run and not where I am controlling them too!!

FIFA isnt that bad in the Controls department but the gameplay lacks depth and WC 06 appears to be along the same lines now ive played it on PRO mode and suddenly the CPU goalies become unbeatable!! WTF??
