Why dont Konami interact with fans like EA

[BlademanX]

last year it was ''off the ball'' now its ''first touch''. How about putting motion capture micro chips on an official ball and playing a 90 minute game of soccer to get the gameplay right. That would definetly work.

Fifa rules, it goes without any questions.
Danny, give me some another “TM” features!

ea sports make the best games in the world "besides soccer"

EA Sports - If it's in the game, it isn't in the game™

Yeah, yeah, Danny does interact, Danny does takin` question. But does he apply our requests or do anythin` about our complaints ? Remember last year ( FIFA 2003 ) when all PC owners got trouble makin`manual headers and all of us askin` for a fix patch ? You know what Danny and his team said ? There was an error in the programming language for PC, and they will fix it for . . . FIFA 2004 . . . Oh, let`s talk about how the editors ****ed up their FIFA and had to re-install it all over again, cos` Danny was too "brilliant" askin` an unknown company makin` the CC ( Crashing Centre ), instead of askin` a guy like Chau Lee . . .

Silence is golden, and that`s what Konami do. They don`t talk much, but when they deliver, they do deliver . . .

yeah you are right
FIFA 2003 - manual heading problems
FIFA 2004 - even more problems (controller setting, interface, direct IP and etc....)

they just going to have plenty and plenty excuses for their stupid error. i doubt they test the game before release

guess what going to happen on FIFA2005. seriously said, FIFA 2004 and EURO 2004. i just play few times in my friends PC. then i screw up and never touch them again. i use to play PES 3 now. and i still enjoy it so much.

EA dosen´t listen anyway how can anyone explain to ea that in football there isn´t any hotspots for score goals and the ball its not a ballon.
Komani dosen´t need that they know what they have to do.

On behalf of myself and many other members of the Konami community, I'd just like to say that if we had to have some fat a$$ lying idiot like Danny Isaac who claims such huge piles of steaming horse$hit every year about a game that turns out to be completely pathetic and a million miles away from what is promised each year...

... we'd all rather hear nothing whatsoever.

Seabass (Konami's main P.R. guy), when he does speak, has something to say that excites the Konami community. Why? Because he's as good as his word. Danny Isaac's word isn't worth $hit on the floor to anybody! A dorkish lookish corporate idiot who you can guarantee has never really watched a game of soccer in his life, reads a freaking script and doesn't give a flying fcuk about the FIFA fans other than the $'s in thier pockets. His pathetic grins as he spouts more bull$hit is a joke. As the British would say, a complete and utter wanker!!!

So, there's your answer.

The way you talk about it seems like video games are a matter of life or death.

Andrew, just don't forget howmany misleaded people did throw their money away by believing EA and buying the game.
In such a case it does no harm to be that expressive.

The first edition of the Creation Centre was what really made FIFA 2003 - it just has to be the most useless utility ever released for any game - you couldn't do Carlos shit with it. I think that's the only time that EA really did listen to the FIFA fanbase by making a new version, and asking an editing legend such as Chau to provide the goods.

Konami don't need to resort to overzealous promotion, they just let the game do the talking as I've said previously.

Oh, those pitysome "misleaded" people...they are all stupid, uninformed idiots, who have been brainwashed into buying FIFA for years to come...

Come on Han, you know that's a clichee if ever there was one... everyone knows what to expect from EA since many years. People who buy these games have PCs, an internet connection, they visit forums, compare, judge and inform themselves. To claim that they are tricked into buying a product while only "the good" dudes like us see the truth is mildly snobbish....

What the f*ck is wrong about the idea that many people are actually *liking* FIFA and buying it out of free will...for whatever reasons... I have reasons to not buy it and not like it but someone has reasons to prefer it over PES...someone's favourite color is blue.. mine might be yellow...someone likes blond chicks, i prefer dark-haired ones... what's so upsetting about that concept?

smart ass...u made ure point. Stick to the bloody topic people.

Clearly easports do not listen to there fans or after all these years they would have produced a football game similar to the likes of pro evolution soccer, i played the fifa games for years on my pc and was generally happy with them but that was because basically fifa was the only decent soccer game on the pc, and now pro evolution soccer is on the pc and people see how good it really is then i don't see any hope for the fifa series much longer, easports can only blame themselves, and then there is pes4 which hopefully will be released at the end of october and from what i have read about that i am thinking about all the things i love about pes3 and it's just going to get better, ok granted there are one or two problems with pes3 but you know they will get sorted in the next updated game , unlike easports one step forward and two steps backward routine.

Pes really does rule the roost
