Be Careful-- Fifa 07 360...some evidence...

I am excited that a company has been working on a new soccer game for 2 years (I check this website many times a day for new video's and whatever). Considering they have had Konami people on their team and all the previous data from the Fifa library- the potential for putting down the base code for building - the next great footy game is enourmous. It is especially great that they have competition, unlike the Madden series.

However the first release of new code of a sports game can bring many bugs and problems. It is usually the second release in sport simulations that do the series justice. Take for example MVP baseball 2003. EA took two years to rewrite the old code when they released the game. The graphics, animation, sound were brilliant - but there were many bugs that made the game unplayable. It wasn't until 2004 that the game acheived its potential. This has happened several other times in my 20 years of gaming.

My prediction is that Fifa 07 on the 360 will have revoulutionary aspects to it. Animation, graphics, sound-- certain elements of the ball physics, but overall it won't be that different than the overall gaming experience 07 for offer for the current generation. Next year however will bring the true fruits of hard work.

I only own a PC and hope I'm wrong- I will be the first to go to buy a 360 just for this game, ---however, based on past experience I try not to get overly excited and become pleasantly surprised

The bugs are not an issue with EA. They always include them, giving consumers the pleasure of discovering them, asking EA for patching while EA ignores them :D

I'm not really worried about that as long as it's not an online disscontect major problem. And I'm not gonna worry for any potential interactive league issues (which I'm sure there will be a lot) since they excluded that from 360.

The thread title says evidence, yet you havn't posted any proving 07 will have troubles....

I agree with you that new engines always bring new problems, however there have been games that have come out and are quite good on their first try....for example: NHL 2001 was a great 1st attempt with a new engine when it came out on the PS2

Looking specifically @ FIFA, sometimes a few years into an engine doesn't change anything.....FIFA 2004 was the 2nd year of the new FIFA engine (still being used on current gen consoles) and still was quite poor...

I guess we will just have to play it and see for ourselves.............

there is no] evidence that the game will be full of bugs, hell lots of games are full of bugs, and I am sure FIFA 07 on 360 will be a solid title!

Just remember that if 07 on the 360 is full of bugs, which it will be, then you are not likley to see a patch for it, there were major bugs in the online mode in WC 06, and not one single bug was fixed, and those who have the 360 version will know how frustrating the online mode of this game was, the game is as bad online today as it was the day it was released,

This is just as foolish as claiming evidence and posting none; we will see, but noone outside the development team can be "sure" about anything regarding the title.

100% true. My major cause of keeping low expectatioins on the game and being pissed off on EA these past couple of months.
