I will say one thing
FIFA 2005 IS THE BEST EVER SOCCER IN THE EARTH
Does this mean we should bury it?
FIFA 2005, given the demo, will be the first decent game (note, GAME, not kit-drooling, chant-noting soccer watching experience, but GAME - you know, that you PLAY) of football from EA since RTWC 98.
I will absolutely concede that.
Doesn't make a bit of difference to me for this year, but it is true.
Doesn't match PES gameplay, but it's STILL true.
We nee to acknowledge when EA make progress, even though we - or at least I - still condemn both their development process, and the fact that they gave us absolute crap from 2000-2004.
This is, however, the beginning of getting back on track toward doing what they are supposed to be doing, the way they are supposed to be doing it. We should benefit perfectly from EA's overwhelming budgets the same way hockey fans do in the NHL series, and especially gridiron fans do in the Madden series.
Maybe we'll look back and say that FIFA 2005 was the turning point for the franchise, in the right direction.
Then again, maybe FIFA 2006 will continue in that FIFA tradition, and half the features you got in FIFA 2005 are missing in 2006, like they've done before...
We shall see.
