I'm a FIFA fan...

I'm a FIFA fan... no longer!!!

I have bought the last 8 FIFA games; but FIFA 2005 was the straw that broke this camel’s (idiot’s) back. It wasn’t until I started reading forums like this that I discovered that FIFA wasn’t the only option. After FIFA WC 2002, FIFA has been going downhill fast. EA ignores everything gamers want and continues to make a profit on those less educated gamers (or the casual gamer).

My favorite thing to play is international cups; I haven’t been able to do so since FIFA 2003. And I have not played with my country Peru since FIFA 2002. I noticed that W11 has Peru (and S. Korea, another favorite of mine not available in FIFA 2005).

I am still a bit hesitant, due to the fact that I have not played
W11 for myself. FIFA 2005 graphics are good and so is the game-play (at least for me).

But what is really pushing me towards W11 is EA’s “we don’t give a crap” attitude. Despite fans that beg for real editing features, better animations that show passion, an international cup mode, S. American squads (Peru, Colombia, Ecuador etc), classic squads (Maradona, Pele etc), EA has continued to ignore all of our pleas and has not included any of these features since 2002.

So that is it!!! Come Feb 2 I am leaving the EA realm and joining the Konami community.

DO I HEAR A “WELCOME FRIEND”... I thought so...

:bouncy: :lui: :bob: :fluffy: :Carlos*o:

P.S.: I've always been a critic of EA, but now I am acting on it. Oh yeah and how about EA buying the exclusive rights to the NFL. Now Sega can't make an NFL game. It figures because that is the only way EA was going to beat the ESPN 2k5 series, through a monopoly...

Wassup bretheren,

I too, like you was once a big fifa fan. That is until WE6I came out here in America. Since than I cannot stop playing WE8 that I imported from Japan. And Im waiting for WE8LE.

If you have a modified PS2 I suggest you buy WE8LE because those damn Japos always save the best for themselves :(

Unfortunately I have an XBOX, so not patches or modifying for me. :(

Still, playing with Peru and other S. American international teams is good enough for me. :amika: :wootman:

Are most of you guys already playing W11-8?

It is not hard to see how you guys love W11. Not like the FIFA forum where all we do is trash the game (with good reason too). :rockman:

Good to hear from a fellow Peruvian brother (and from Miami too). Maybe we even play in the same park (Coral Gables Youth Center sounds familiar maybe?). In any case it is going to be awesome playing with Peru.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bouncy: :lui: :rockman:

Man I tell ya PUREFOOTBALL it feels great to be enlightened.
MIGUEL you quoted me back on the 21st and then asked about who's playing WE8I. I'm still playing WE7I but most these katz are playing WE8I. I've just got to wait a week and a 1/2 till I get that call from EB Games saying my first official copy of a KONAMI footie game has finally arrived. I can't wait #7 has just blown me right out of the water and #8 sounds even deeper and better. I wish I found KONAMI at least 8yrs ago but by the sounds of it I've converted at a good time. Like I told you before, coming from a former recent EA footie fan to another possible cross-over, don't think twice just jump in. If your a real footie fan you'll do it.
