defensively!? ffs, who gives a shit - i dont play footy games to do a nice bit of 'defending'!

Purist!

I'm enjoying the new FIFA demo. It requires a complete re-learning of how to play the game; but then, I thought the 11 game was too hard to score on, and within a month, I was scoring 5 or 6 a match. I'm sure it'll come naturally enough eventually.

Still don't like FIFA. They're very lucky that Pro has stagnated massively.

We might be able to get you a game at weekend against Norwich.

Sorry but personally i didn't enjoy my defenders acting like a back line of 4 Zat Knights I like having more control of what my defenders are doing.

New Pro Evo demo

I have to say I was happier with it this year and will probably purchase it when it drops in price but still don't think it comes close to FIFA ..

[Lofthouse Lower]

I think I'll probably end up with both, but there's only one for the purists

Pro Evo = grown ups who understand football
FIFA = for ADD riddled kids who are blinded by official kits (but for some reason ignore the massive names on the back, players who look f uck all like they're meant to etc)

Pro evo use to be godly but has totally lost its way .. like I said, I will get both but FIFA is miles ahead of PES.

LOL, what a load of bollocks...and you know I love you, but mate, that's just sooooo arrogant.

[Lofthouse Lower]

It's not arrogance, it's based upon years of gaming experience (on both sides)

I play FIFA 07 for the Officialness.
I also have 08 and 10 plus quite a few Pro EVOs but never play them.

I just bloody hate how in FI\UFA there are no FA Cup Replay matches!!
Battle for a draw and you think, I'm going to try to win the replay match; then it goes to extra time

My fave game though is This is Football 2003

Fifa dicks on Pro Evo in far too many ways to take LL's comments seriously

[Lofthouse Lower]

It does these days, yes, but ONLY because Pro has gone backwards so severely.

For a decade Pro was the only game to look for, but when it went next-gen it went shite. FIFA is still very much a 'boring' game to play, for my mind, it's too mechanical and makes stupid decisions especially with the weighting and the couple of points mentioned above.

No, it's based on you thinking you are right and being rude about people who have a differing opinion.

I find it quite sad the way people rag on either game. Both are good in different ways.

Anyone who says otherwise is, imho a fanboy and not worth listening to anyway. Especially those who make snap judgements based on a demo that doesn't contain the entirely revamped career mode. Just saying...

[General Mannerheim]

balls to em both, i like GUNS!

Shut up you stupid face

Did someone say guns? GUNS!!!

Back to Gears of War 3 I go.

(That game is literally stopping me doing work, but I can't stop!!)
