Should I buy Fifa 08?

[sportscrazed2]

OK heres the deal. Before I got Halo 3 fifa 07 was my favorite game for 360. I was pleasantly supprised to find the fifa 08 demo on marketplace the other day. Let's just say I wasn't impressed. When looking on my friends list i see someone playing fifa 08. He says its way better than the demo. Europeans help me out it doesn't come out here for a week and it has been my experience that once a game gets a demo on marketplace it doesn't change very much. Is the game better than the demo? Or should i just skip 08? I need something to play besides halo.

[KiladuBz]

ive always like fifa, i too wasnt too impressed with the 08 demo, im hoping the retail copy will be better. mostly everyone on this forum will tell you to go with pro evolution soccer when it comes out, ive never liked that series though. I guess just rent them both and see which one you like, thats prob what ill do.

[Blasterpez]

you shouldn't.

[KiladuBz]

you shouldn't.

wow, thats amazing insight. no, its cool, no need to back up your response with valid reasons and\or opinions, its ok really...

[shane32Eire]

Sport i tell everyone not to, but to be honest you probably should. I dont think you have the brain power or agility to play PES as it requires more patience and more skill to play, its alot more realistic and its like the difference between forza and a NFS game.

Fifa is arcade piss, and smelly rat piss at that. But it would suit you as you seem to be low on the brain cell count.

[sportscrazed2]

shane i probably have a higher iq than you

[shane32Eire]

shane i probably have a higher iq than you

yay?

if thats the best comeback then ill give you another chance.

[sportscrazed2]

it wasnt a comeback i was stating a fact

[Don_Rico]

Having higher IQ than Shane doesn't really say much...

(You know I kid, Shane <3)

Seriously though, bragging about one's IQ contradicts the purpose of the statement...

[JimmyMac]

I've played Fifa and Pro Evo on a few consoles and didn't like Fifa on any console after Fifa 98 :Road to the World Cup.

I'm a Pro Evo man.

[Blasterpez]

wow, thats amazing insight. no, its cool, no need to back up your response with valid reasons and\or opinions, its ok really...

good, cause i didn't really have any. :) i just don't like soccer. Well, mario soccer was pretty fun, and i haven't really ever played a soccer game, but that shouldn't stop me from judging the entire genre and thinking sports games are dumb.

[IORI]

wait n buy PES 08

[joeladiniho]

i thought fifa 07 and pes was ****e so if you enjoyed it you dont know good footy game fifa 08 is far better than any football game so far it has 90 per cent more to do on fifa 08 than 07 its worlds ahead of the rest but does still need more tweeks

[KiladuBz]

Wait a minute what you just said was "even though i dont play sports games, and i clearly dont know what im talking about, that shouldn't stop me from judging the whole genre" YES IT SHOULD, IF YOU DONT PLAY SPORTS GAMES JUST SHUT UP AND BE ON YOU WAY!!!! WOW now i know what im dealing with, i swear dude they should have an iq test to join this site.....DUMBASS!

Go kill yourself

[KiladuBz]

ah shane, i agree, he and blasterpez both should :):)

[Blasterpez]

Good, you caught onto my sarcasm.
Killing yourself is a permanent solution to temporary problems.

[KiladuBz]

Killing yourself is a permanent solution to temporary problems.

sure dude, you first though, i want to see how it done :)

[IIJoshIII]

Stfu!

[Blasterpez]

sure dude, you first though, i want to see how it done :)

Do you think i am inferring you should kill yourself? that would be dumb. maybe i should explain my attempt at humor.

here is a quick tour of our conversation in chronological order:

You asked if you should get some boring soccer game. You didn't list any credentials people should have before giving their opinion. I gave my opinion. Then, as the nice person i am, i let you know i don't play sports games, so you shouldn't put to much weight onto my answer to the question you asked.
Then, not understanding my humor (or me not understanding yours...are you british), you made some asinine statement about how i shouldn't answer your question because i don't play soccer/football games...basically what i had stated in my original post. (And again, i would like to digress to the fact you didn't specify which type of people should answer your question.) Then you state that me and some other person here should go kill ourselves. Man, words can't describe how dumb that is. In response to that statement, i explained that suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems...and somehow you figured i had cryptically asked you to kill yourself, which brings us to the statement i made at the beginning of this post.
So, you see, i was trying to be funny, because i think fifa games are boring. And then you made it dumb. so people shouldn't go around killing themselves (unless they are emo artists, then they kind of have to, to be taken seriously).
i hope we are all clear now. :shakehand

[oli]

STFU guys, PES= best and that's it discussion ended ...

[IORI]

yea PES till death bring it on

[KiladuBz]

i agree with oli (because if you start s@#! with oli, this may be your last post)

[IIJoshIII]

Lol???

[shane32Eire]

I think all Americans should'nt be allowed post in Footy threads, at all. it just leads to flames, and they clearly have no clue.

And euro's being banned from NFL threads and such might be good aswell, not that we bother posting in them..

[IIJoshIII]

I'd have to partially agree with Shane here. What American truly knows Soccer/Football? I don't know of any Euros that know American football either.

[friedkarma]

If Shane stuck to what he knows, his post count would be 4. It's soccer, not brain surgery. Kick the ball, don't use your hands. We all played it in gym class and when we were kids. It's not a complicated game.

[Spartan1127]

Yea, I used to play soccer all the time at recess back in year 5. I think Euro's should post in NFL threads and Americans to post in soccer threads...as long as he/she/shemale knows what he/she/shemale is talking about.

[IIJoshIII]

That's the case- he/she/shemale never knows what they're talking about.

[shane32Eire]

It's not a complicated game.

Yet yous all post the most retarded posts about football, funny that.

[KiladuBz]

Im american, but my family is from argentina (River Plate 4 life) i.e. very rich football culture, and i watch every premier (England) league, primera (Spain) league, argentinian league (basically anything but MLS) that i can get over here.

PS the fundamentals of the game are not that complicated, but there is alot of strategy, conditioning and very quick thinking. As much as i love american football, they break after every play, and have time to regroup, i see it as a wimpy version of rugby (it is what it is).the fundamentals for all sports are pretty straightforward, baseball for instance, hit ball run bases, but i have recently come to respect and understand exactly how much strategy is involved. Alot of it is still based on luck (or curse for those who saw game 2 yankees vs Indians) and raw power, even though i still find it very boring, playoffs are always fun.

[shane32Eire]

and i watch every premier (England) league, primera (Spain) league, argentinian league (basically anything but MLS) that i can get over here.

hence why you like footy. hell if i had to watch MLS matchs all the time id hate footy lol.

[KiladuBz]

true, theyre making all these commercials saying "your a fan you just don't know it yet" where they compare the MLS to NFL, MLB, and NHL. MLS just well....(trying to find a better word for it) sucks. Only semi-decent team is New England, and even they cant wash barcelona's jock strap.

I don't think it matters at all whether we like soccer or not, because the reasons why FIFA is superior have been spelled out in this thread...better graphics and the official teams.
I'm bored at work, take the bait.
If Konami made a good product, they could afford to buy the rights to the official teams. It's obvious FIFA runs circles around PES, and I don't have to be a soccer hooligan to know it.

go check the sales for pes V fifa in europe einstein.

You havnt a clue, if you wana buy a game cause it looks better and has the 'official' stuff then your a ***. Its like the rich kid that has the newest footy boots and the cool jersey but is still ****, yet the poor kid with the crappy boots and old jersey is the best player around.

Oh and karma white font is my forte

[Kona Palangi]

As much as i love american football, they break after every play, and have time to regroup, i see it as a wimpy version of rugby (it is what it is)

Whoa this thread went flame on me and I didn't even get a memo? It is what it is? What is it then killer? You gotta be bangin Tina to even think that NFL is a "wimpy version of Rugby". Most of my friends are Polynesian (Mostly Tongan) and I have sat down and watched Fiji and Tonga play (even though they suck). Most of these same dudes play both Rugby and Football and they said BY FAR American football has the hardest ****ing hits .... END OF. Thanks for coming I'm here till Friday.

Look man, i love (american) football, there may be harder hits, but rugby is nonstop, not trying to hate on anything BTW. i think there are harder hits because the defense is aware of what play they may run, like that wicked hit during the broncos game :):). :shakehand

PS: Who's Tina?

[Kona Palangi]

Or the Travis Henry Stiff arm. That was hilarious.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
take the bait malo go on , you know you want to
American football is for pussies , rugby=harder hits

woohoo so the hits are harder in the nfl, what i wouldnt give to see one of those lard*** linebackers having to go all 90 mins up and down the field.

Whats a time out??

oh yeah the 6 inches of plastic and foam we wear om our shins dont do much for ya either

[IORI]

huh i thought that American Football n Rugby is same

Just go home and dont come back ok ... lol

Sorry, I have to call you on this one. Its 80 mins in Rugby.

[shane32Eire]

I have never seen a NFL game where the lads start bleeding and have to be taken off for stitches, NFL is for fat beer belly rednecks that is all.

Rugby match i watched last night had 1 player break his finger and had to get it sloted back into place to finish the game on the sidlelines, not a whimper. then 2 lads were taking off with gash's on their heads and had to get stitches, one was knocked out cold for 7mins only to come back on. May not seem like a big deal but considering all you see in NFL is someone get a slight crack in there helmet or get knocked down on there back fast, hell seeing as all NFl players go around with matress's stuck on there backs it cant hurt.

[sportscrazed2]

hey fifa 08 is alot better than 07 and i thought 07 was good. in 07 the only way to score was off of rebounds. in 08 you have to earn each and every goal. i think it's alot more realistic. try it see what you think

[oli]

meh Pro evo is the way forward.

[sportscrazed2]

wait till both games come out till you judge. i really like fifa 08. from what i hear pro evo 08 is pretty much the same as 07 where fifa 08 has some drastic changes

[shane32Eire]

hell no lol, and the fact there was no pro evo 07 shows you are thick.

Konami have done the dirty trick and have made the PS3 version much better again, which pisses me off but is no suprise.

[IORI]

i am with PES from the the start of the topic but its making me sick PES is coming 2 much late thinking of getting FIFA just for now til date of PES

[sportscrazed2]

i really don't have much choice since PES doesn't come out in the US until sometime in the winter. by the way do they call it pro evolution soccer in europe also?

[shane32Eire]

i am with PES from the the start of the topic but its making me sick PES is coming 2 much late thinking of getting FIFA just for now til date of PES

In 2 weeks? man your in-patient

[sportscrazed2]

its about 4 months later than fifa in the us

[shane32Eire]

its about 4 months later than fifa in the us

sucks to be you

[sportscrazed2]

well if pes is really that much better than fifa i will play the crap out of fifa and trade it in for pes when the time comes

[KiladuBz]

Just played the Pes 2008 demo on live, its freakin badass, im off to rent fifa to see how it compares :):)

[sportscrazed2]

last time i checked the pes 08 demo wasn't out in america. did you make a fake british account? i had to send in my 360 for repairs so i bought a pes game for the original xbox. it was decent but i like fifa way more. and fifa 08 is badass man. i got to play it again for the first time in 3 days because my brothers friend bought over his 360 and just wanted to play smash brothers and pso. lucky for me huh?

[KiladuBz]

I downloaded it last night, i guess it must have just become available for us. Great game though.

ps. there is no way in hell i would go through that much trouble for a DEMO.

[sportscrazed2]

i can't wait for my 360 to come back to play fifa and halo. also i really want to download that demo to see if its worth dropping another 60 bucks for a soccer game

Sports, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[oli]

Lmao Josh...

[Sir Charles]

Sports, I think you've had enough of an answer now to make a desicion even tho you have already bought FIFA 08.

There is no real need to keep this thread open.

So the conclusion is: DONT BUY FIFA 08 because its rubbish and gets pwned by PES2008 every time.

So sports, go and enjoy FIFA 08* and let the REAL Football/Soccer fans play the proper game of footy - which is PES2008.

*Oh sorry I just remembered, your 360 is broken. Damn shame.
