Computer & Video Games' UK FIFA 06 review - What a discrimination!!!

[iamhurtin]

im pissed off at fifa.i really wanted to enjoy this years version
after being annoyed playing we9, i played the fifa 2006 demo and after hearing wolfs comments i agreed. i was all set for fifa untill the pes5 demo came out. but i was still looking foward to fifa , because i thought about the good season mode that lets u play the cups aswell, so finnaly its out and i get it im all excited,everything is good, but then i played the game . i just dont get it, i can see what they were trying but it just doesnt work, they have admited that they dont know how to make the game and they have tried to copy we's design but it just doesnt work. i remeber what ppl have said about playing it on world class and the game is more realistic, well thats a load of crap, the computer plays the exact way every time, no matter the team or the ai lvl (dance around in the middle- wide ball out wide, cross in,rinse and repeat) also what is with this game? is it me or do u find urself falling asleep in a middle of a game, its not that i dont a tight stuggle but in pes conserving a lead for 85mins is fun, in fifa it feels like ur running up hill with a boudler attached to you. i tried for 2hours and tried the next morning, eventually i just gave up and uninstalled and played the pes5 demo, 2mins in i was i home. maybe i have just gotten used to pes all these years but i have played every fifa since the original on the snes and i have played every we/iss/pes and since we4 which ea responded with 2000 i have never gone back. i only kept playing fifa cause i didnt have next gen console, but since konami finnaly answered the call. i never have to suffer fifa again. oh also any1 that thinks that fifas menu system is better, needs their head checked, it takes for god damned ever to choose 2 teams and get into a game in fifa, i guess its ok on console where u dont havae mouse but still
very retarded. sorry for long rant but i had to get off my chest

thisempty - say whatever you like, but you are a PES fan, and that's different from being a football fan, actually, football gaming fan. You base your oppinions on the name of the game, just like people from abovementioned site did. I don't mind if you give an honest and "credible" oppinion based on your experinece with the game, good on you for that, but your PES this, PES that, type of an oppinion is pathetic.

I'm a Pes fan cause i love the game!!!! I dont compare it to FIFA cause i played FIFA 2006 alot, i give it a chance, not played 5 minutes and said it was sh't!
You're the one who gets pissed by people saiyng pes is better than fifa!!!
I wish FIFA were better!! I could play a better game than PES, that would be just great for me!!
So stop your damn presumptions like:
"say whatever you like, but you are a PES fan, and that's different from being a football fan, actually, football gaming fan. You base your oppinions on the name of the game, just like people from abovementioned site did."

Im a PES fan and a football fan, and its ridiculous for you to come here and say that i like this and that and im like this and that just cause i dont agree with you... let it go man, this is not personal.
I dont base my oppinions on the name of the game like you say... i base it on trying it and playing it alot! I told you mate, i wish FIFA or another game were better than PES, that would just mean that there would be a better game to be played and that would be good for me (us), no???

I didnt said the 50% was ok, i said it was ok for that guy to give that rating to the game!!! as you can give it 99% if you wish.

if i did a review i would give problably 70%

im a hypocrite cause?

take it easy man, the sh't you talk turns against you...
it seems that you're the one trying at all costs to make FIFA awesome!!
If it is to you, GREAT.
If it isnt that good for others, let it go

i saw many reviews of fifa 2004, 2005... 80%, 85%... and to me thats ridiculous.... putting FIFA 5% or 10% behinf PES....
qnd i dindt started all this ****ty talk cause of that, did i?

You started cause of that 50% review on FIFA... you got different oppinions... you dont like them.... but try and live with them

yes, but thats not the case with PES/WE, is it?? Don't be so extreme man.
The faces aren't generic, there's sound on the crowd, more than one stadium, etc etc...
Graphics in PES/WE are much better than in FIFA.

I Didnt say people prefer to play tetris or pang instead of FIFA 2006....
I said that between two games were one has an overall better performance in stadiums, atmosphere, etc... and the other has much better gameplay, i certainly give more importance to the gameplay.

but EVEN if it were so extreme as you said:
"but I doubt that if there were generic faces on all players, no sound on the crowd, only one stadium to play in, no night, afternoon game, etc... you would whine like a baby...."
even if it was like that, i would still prefer PES, cause i almost always play with friends in PS2 or online in PC and we wouldnt give a **** about all that, cause its all about gameplay...
Let me give you one example:
playing online PES4, it lagged, so people put the resolution down to 640x480, no sounds, etc... and is still more enjoyable tham FIFA with everything top notch.

things you talk about are good... for 5 minutes, or for 1 day or 2...
after that you skipp animations, etc etc...... ITS THE GAMEPLAY MAN

Ok, I agree with you now, except that I wouldn't choose to play PES alone, just because it's a boring Master League and it doesn't get me hooked. I do own both games every year, and I end up getting tired of playing one, then I go to the other, and so on... but I end up always doing my career mode on FIFa and not in the Master League, I don't know... I just do...

But I think PES gameplay is definetely better, nevertheless, I enjoy playing FIFA as career, but in PES just enjoying the ways I can score and pass and shoot and so forth... but I just hate playing it in the Master LEague, I almost always just play single matches against known teams... Besides, there are so little teams to choose from compared to FIFa that's just sad, and since I don't mod my console, I have to put up with the generic crap....

PEACE!

yah pes does have better gameplay but it has a season mode of the snes days, im surprised they didnt update it from pes4, pes5 is just a patch.

Sorry Mate, but this is going completely different direction.

I think your second last paragraph says it all, if they gave 80% or 85% to FIFA 2004, then giving 50% to FIFA 06 is ridiculous, that is, unacceptable. And that;s my point from the beginning, guys from C&VG UK obviously "judge the book by its cover".

I don't say that FIFA 06 is awesome, but is nevertheless best FIFA and is very enjoyable. It's good game and great package. It's great as PES companion and gives different type of football game, FIWC, excellent online play etc. If you like football games (like myself) and have been playing them since the first Atari Casette Soccer came out in 1984, then you know what I'm talking about. This isn;t about bashing out one game and praising another., bashing someone elses opinion etc...

And NO, I certainly do not have a problem with anyone's opinions and accepting them. I know for a fact (since I work for one of those magazines) that magazines, and review sites are there to offer public an open minded, fair and unbiased review, not personal opinions of reviewer. That's why there are scores for gameplay, graphics, sound, longetivity, etc... in order to remove those personal opinions and biasness of a reviewer. This is why I have a problem with abovementioned review.

Take care!
