2006 FIFA World Cup (EA Sports)

Tried the PC demo, doesn't work with my PS2 controller adapter, 1 minus point, has Beckham listed as England penalty taker, another minus point, tactics is limited to formation choice only, 10 minus points, doesn't bode well.

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?

Why don't you buy PES5 either for the PC or the PS2. It's exactly the same, only better because it's not needing any translation patches. I have both games and there is no difference.
 
Just played the demo. It's the best version of FIFA I've played in a long time. I thought the last one looked an improvement from videos but it didn't play like it. This one does. It's still far inferior to PES but if you want to soak in the better atmosphere this is worth a punt I'm sure when the world cup is on :)

well i hope you dont buy pes on those type of opinions :D

pes5 demo, gay music -5 points, crap commentary -10 points, crowd look like something off teletext - 10 points etc etc.

Btw if you have 2 ps2 pads and your ps2 adaptor has 2 ps2 ports on it, If you plug them both in then it should let you play with the first pad. Stupid i know :)

Yes but they're just aesthetics, really not important to the area that is, ie gameplay :)

uhm maybe we allready have PES5 for PC
 
:) I do and as I said before I play both FIFA 06 and PES5 as often as each other. Sometimes PES gives you a good game and sometimes it talks bollocks. FIFA 06 is good if you just want a quick blast as it lacks depth.

WC 06 does have more to it than FIFA 06 does which is a tremendous step in the right direction but having said that it still does lack the depth of AI that PES has.

Well then why say this; 'For those of us without modded/chipped PS2s, the FIFA franchise is all we have to look forward to'

winning eleven 10 is PES6 not PES5 do you have PES6 and winning eleven 10? they are the same? forgetit.
 
Ahhh, big mistake there. I meant Winning Eleven 9 then obviously. So many versions of them all to keep track of I didn't realise. All makes sense now :D
 
Well guys the scores on the doors from Famistu is 34/40 for WC06 on the XB360, which is a pretty decent score, WE10 got 36/40 in the same mag, so really I reckon that the game is worth checking out.
 
i would add couple points if there would be club teams in it.if WE10 would have been X360 game it would have got couple points more. why is famitsu score so important to some ?

Along with the IGN score I posted earlier, I think I may buy my first FIFA in about 10 years. I can't believe I just said that.

Because there football games are judged by winning eleven standards. I hope someone can translate this now and tell us what they said.

Lets say we are to judge these games based on scores alone, just pretend. Even though WE10 only scored two points higher, isnt it rather pathetic that the PS2 game has a higher score than a game for the x360 which is a much more powerful machine than the PSpoo........I find it inexcusable that EA can't even get better physics with the x360, which are normal CPU hogs, that compete with those found in a PS2 game.................
 
In the same Mag Tetris DS got 35/40, I think you've got it all wrong with the scoring system mate, they are not comparing games to different systems graphically!

From the WE10 thread

The PS2 version of FIFA got 3 marks less than the 360 edition. Aside from the graphics the games will be pretty much identical, no?
 
Wouldnt value the IGN score much (its reviewed by an american, and all the other fifa's have usually recieved a good score from them even though they have been poor). However the famitsu one is interesting, but then you could argue that they continue to praise WE when besides gameplay there isnt much else really.

Either way will take a look at the fifa one

Just be watching the videos, not that impressed but really like the nets :D

I really hope all the refrences the IGN reviewer thrwe out about it being "kinda" close to we finally are real. A gamne that "just" mimic We is a good one remeber footbal kingdom? that game mimiced it just a tad but was equally good in it's own way. did EA make a plausable game finally in that vien? I surelu hope so.
 
I dont really know exactly how Famistu scores go, but for the WC to get a mark of 34 on 360 when it gets 31 on PS2, I dare say it cant just be graphics, but maybe it is the main difference, if thats the case 3 points for graphics must mean that the 360 IS adding alot more to the game.
 
It's finally more like WE/PES but it's not a great step forwards, it's just a more playable FIFA.
