well they keep banging on and on about nhl 08, it was a good game, not great by any stretch, same with fifa. There nba game was shit compared to 2k8's. In my eyes EA still have a long way to go in all sports titles.. and here is why
1.players in nhl and fifa resemble nothing like there real life counterparts, in terms of movements and overall abilities, see NBS 2k8 for how it should be done. I do think they improved this in EURO.
2.the computer AI is atrocious on FIFA, there is no joy at all in playing the AI.
3.manager mode has so much potential but so many shortcommings, everyone knows about them.
4.Edit mode sucks on both.
5. rosters should be able to be sent between gamers, see 2k sports
and playable online..
6. online leagues need improving, track goal scorers, track assiss, make a season a proper one and not play 1 or 3 times against your oppenent, have online CL style tounrney, online UEFA cup, online FA CUP, etc...
