That's what a basic Google of EA's previous claims illuminates for us, that's all. Not hard; five minutes.

Look, I can see the point these guys are making. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the results to change, and you'd be a liar if you claimed EA's track record with FIFA was superb. So I am guardedly optimistic. I'll read reviews before I buy. Just as there is no reason for FIFA bashing like these guys, there's no reason so bet the farm that this game will be perfect because that could be setting you up to be a let down.

I think the addage "Aim low, that way you'll never be disappointed and you might even be pleasantly surprised" makes some sense here.

Fair enough, and well-put.

We all know that the base of the downfall in 2004 was the crap interface and the trillions of bugs that game had in gameplay or out if it.

Well, but to tell you the truth i enjoy playing that game for fun against other frineds of mine. U know, it is annoying to not have good control of the ball in the fifa series..... and some other things.. but if this year the EA team will really improve the first touch of the players..wooa it will be A REALLY BIG plus to the game. It will make it very very enjoyable if they dont messed up things this time.

Good thing that they are trying to improve the career mode. EA have to rememebr that players gets old too....we dont have to be playing with the same defenders 30 years!. and they playing still luike youngsters!


Anyway... without getting to excited.. it seems they want to do things right this time.

"supposedly"

Yeah, let's leave the trial of: The Fanboys Vs. EA, until the game comes out. As you said, FIFA 2004 is enjoyable when played against other guys. Isn't that the general idea?...

FIFA 2005 sounds good, but the proof is in the pudding...

Nobody here is claiming the game will be great. Nobody here has ever said it would be. We are only commenting on the Gamespot preview of FIFA 05 which is very favorable. If you have an issue, then you have it with GameSpot - who actually played the game.

The only people counting chickens before they hatch is the haters. Who were trying to convince everyone in here the game would suck., even though they haven't played it.

There's been 4 previews of FIFA 05 so far, all from independent sources. All four of them have had really great things to say about FIFA 05. EA Sports has NOTHING to do with those peoples opinions... so it's not EA "promising us again".

This is why I hate the internet, it gives a voice to people who speak before they think... and the people who speak and scream the most are always the cynics. It gets old after awhile.

Everyone in here is capable of making up their own mind. We don't need some dumb fanboy to tell us what is going to be the best, especially when they're talking out of their butt and haven't touched PES4 or FIFA05.

As my grandpa used to say "you don't know shlt from shinola."

if you were here last yr.. which you werent.. you could have read a bunch of great sounding previews about fifa 04.. from all kinds of sources including gamespot.. and the game was a dissapointment.. and no one is saying fifa is going to suck or that pes is better.. so I think you may want to apply your grandpa's phrase to yourself.

Yes he did. Go back and read the thesis on page one. And my grandpa's phrase certainly fits... but not to me, I'm not claiming anything will be good or bad.

no, actually, me correcting your silly grammatic mistake does not make me prove any "point", as i wasn't trying to prove anything by correcting the sentence.

Carry on....

this is your response.. "go back and read the thesis on page one" so I went back and read it and pes is not mentioned in there at all.. unless you want to point it out in case I missed it.

Which is what I was responding too. For goodness sakes, I even quoted it when I replied to it. I was *specifically commenting on* the part where he said "and no one is saying fifa is going to suck".

I was not saying anything about PES. If you don't understand this, there is nothing I can do to help you understand it.
