Which format is best suited for football games?

[raven_blade2002]

Ive got all the latest consoles and formats. A gameboy advance sp, a playstaion 2, an x-box a gamecube and a PC.

Xbox, if not, PC version... for Fifa 2004. Damn, you're rich, get both formats then.

Xbox, or just consoles!! I don't think PC's are great for getting mates round, at least with a console you can all crash on the couch, lol. And get the bears in, but that hasn't happended in a long time no one wants to play FIFA 2003 who I know, hey...that odd!

PS2

Pros: Winning Eleven and Pro Evolution Soccer

 

[raven_blade2002]

I personally prefer the Pc version as you can download stadiums and kits etc......

PS2, made for games, no need to update evry year and WE is on PS2

 

[raven_blade2002]

EA says they "update" their fifa games every year but they still stay the same with only minor changes some of which are good some of which are bad. For example in fifa 2002 players where either left or right footed. For some unknown reason it was taken out! Why the hell did they do this??? Been left or right footed in football/soccer is realistic!!!!! SO Y TAKE IT OUT OF THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!! However the graphics do improve in fifa games which is the only good point i can think of to say at the moment!

PC - because i've been playing FIFA since FIFA 97 and find the keyboard easy to play with now i only got a console (xbox) at christmas so have not yet mastered the controller (to loose )

Also I would like to add FIFA 2004 won't do well on PS2 because people will prefer to buy WE and PES.

 

[raven_blade2002]

If EA and Konami worked together to make a football/soccer game there would be no problems. With the license and graphics of fifa games and the gameplay of Pes/we they could make the ultimate game!

 

[theCRO]

nah...FIFA graphics are nowhere near as good as Konami, animations and real body positioning is miles ahead in WE6 than any of the FIFA games.

The perfect football game would be Konami with a licence...

 

[raven_blade2002]

EA should give up their license they are obviously not good enough to have it. ppl would rather by konami's games even though they dont have the license.
