waltz Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm 'capn euan', i'll probably be playing tomorrow. I'm shit.EDIT: On XBOX LiveEDIT AGAIN: Oh yeah, and ignore the plays of a wrestling game. It was a gift and it eats up hours like no-one's business. Still lame though.

Lonz Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm going to give the demo a go first. Haven't bought a Fifa game since...ooh Fifa '98, the one with Blur's Song 2?I'm a dedicated PES man but i've just tried the PES 2010 demo on Xbox Live and been unimpressed.

Woodsinho Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm fighting an internal battle on this one, I've got FIFA 09 and it seems silly to discard it after less than a year but at the same time if everyone moves onto FIFA 10 I'll be left with little choice. BALLS. To sum up, I think I'm going to get it, probably at the weekend, then I'll hate myself for a bit for giving into EA and their ways, then stop caring because I'm having too much fun taking Darlington to the top.Woodsinho on t'xbox live.

You could play indoor? Sometimes, if you were winning by more than a few goals and scored again, the ball would just reappear at the centre circle with the same scoreline. It was the first and only time I've seen a computer actually cheat. What a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's smashing. I played 09 after playing the demo and it just felt horrible. The new one is badass.I will then add you, and administer many virtual footballing lessons.Pro Evo has been terrible for years, mainly since the first next gen incarnation. It's for the best. Pro Evo used to rule the gameplay stakes, but good grief, the depth was laughable. The master league is terrible, and online was like playing in slow motion, under water.

captain burrito Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Unbelievable game.was '98 the one with Bergkamp on the cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 It was 99. A very poor sequel, but 2000 really stepped up, and was the last good Fifa until 2005, when EA finally started rivalling Konami, then kicked the fuck out of them with Fifa 07.God, I love Fifa. The only one I've never played was 95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Im pretty sure you could do indoor 5 a-sides in Fifa 95. That was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Really? I was sure the indoor mode started on 97, which was poorly done, but was great on 98, but seemed to be a hidden option and not many people knew about it. If you got 2 players sent off, the match got abandoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ah yeah it was Fifa 97, i had it on the PC. You could make a substitution as the ref was pulling a red card out of his pocket. Did anyone have Fifa International Soccer on the Mega Drive? That was a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 That was mint. Especially running away from the referee when he was about to give you a card.Holland were ace on it. Van Smeiter was so fast. I miss football games with made up names (not Pro Ev mispelled names, like Sheerer, and Geggs. Urgh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Newcastle are fucking mint on it this year. Carroll and Lovenkrands up front, lethal in the Championship.Has anyone else noticed how much easier it is to smash them in from range? I could never skelp them in from 30 yards on 09, but I've already nailed about 4-5 screamers into the top corner on 10. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottST Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 the fifa with the "scratch n sniff" disc (2000, 2001?) was easily the worst football game i have ever played, i moved onto pro ev after that and have stuck around since.the new PES looks a bit crap, i'll probably still get it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless the C button. It's interesting how much FIFA dived for a while around the millenium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Fifas I've owned... International Soccer on megadrive (the daddy)96 on MD (swerve = awesome)97 on PC (indoor was a treat, rest was rubbish)98 road to World Cup on N64 (diving, elbowing and riding tackles were great additions, prob my favourite barring the new generation)World Cup 2002 (too easy to score from 40yds with the star players)09 on PS3 (sublime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonz Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 My first Fifa was way back in the Megadrive days, the pitch was viewed from a wild diagonal angle if I mind right, possibly 94?Bought the first ISS (the old name for PES) for the SNES and fell in love - in fact i've still got my SNES - with and I think i've bought them all since. I think the series peaked at PES4 and then started to stagnate from PES5 onwards.Downloaded both PES and Fifa demos on Xbox and I have to admit I had more fun on Fifa but that might just be because it's new.Tough choice, might just download Sensi instead!

Murrr Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think we all know SWOS was better...Best management mode ever, especially when you spank everyone else so much that you get the national team job. Just go Steaua Bucharest; piss the league every season, guaranteed. Piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 If you're talking about downloading Sensi on the Xbox, then it's not really worth it. You're much better off finding a MS Dos version or an Amiga Emulator. The loss of the authentic player names and team names is a massive let down, as well as annoying new animations and graphics.Sensible Soccer European Edition on the Mega Drive was almost as good as Swos on the Amiga. It didn't have the ridiculous depth that Swos had, but it had the upgraded game engine, all the major European Leagues and the very same Career mode. A totally decent substitute if you weren't lucky enough to own an Amiga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
