I just saw a demo at best buy , and the graphics were horrible it looked like fifa1930. Anyone here has it ?

 

i was gonna pick it up. might have to think twice now.

 

I'm supposed to get it tonight, for ps2. Will play it and report back tomorrow

 

i'll be waiting for that

 

So I just played a few games with a buddy.

The game has slowed down a lot from Fifa06, passing is a bit more difficult, and getting control of the ball after a pass is not the easiest either. I ended up losing the ball half the time after the first touch on a pass. My old tactic of crossing in from the wings to the middle of the box doesn't quite work anymore. The right analog stick tricks on offence now only work when you have a defender close to you, so no more flashiness running down the pitch.

Graphics are quite different from last year's, and definitely seem reminiscent of one of the older versions, I can't quite put my finger on which one though. The players are smaller than last year's version, and the color of the default pitch seemed a bit muted compared to last year.

Overall, I'd say it's worth buying b/c it's a lot more challenging than last year's edition, at least right off the bat. Graphically it seems to be a downgrade from last year, so if that's a huge factor, you prob won't be happy with it

 

You are right ,I think the crappy graphics is just a way to get you to purchase the xbox 360 or PS3 version .

 

ive been playing it a lot lately with a friend of mine. It gets really frustrating when the keeper wont come out and grab easy crosses or challenge an attacker at the right time. The defense parts like the Red Sea when it should be squaring itself, and sending someone to mark the attacker.

The gameplay is slightly better, but the AI is definately a disappointment.

 

I played fifa world cup all summer for 360 amazing game. However I heard bad things about fifa 2007, so when is winning 11 coming to 360?

 

^ Odd, I downloaded the demo on teh 360 for FIFA 2007 and it's awesome. Much better then the FIFA World Cup IMO. I probably played the demo for about an hour and will probably pick the game up...

 

Winning Eleven Series > current FIFA

 

Really I dled it and didnt like it to much maybe im not in the soccer mood right now.

 

Winning 11 + Patch >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fifa

 

@ fifa1930

 

When did a fifa game EVER have good graphics?

 

Even though I liked the FIFA demo... Truth...

 

True that. I played winning 11 at my friends house and it was so much better than all the WC and FIFA games I've played.

 

I really need to get my hands on Winning Eleven 9. Been hearing good things about the series for a very long time.

I agree about the defence being a bit dodgy in Fifa 07. I've had a goal scored on me from a set-piece from just below the half line b/c the keeper kept running and never jumped for the ball without me ever having called him forward. The defenders have also a few times just stopped and let the strikers through, both on my behalf and against. It's a little frustrating, but then I guess just have to get used to the game

 

The reason why I did not want to get it is because the game was very similar to WE8 and I already had all the patches (including sound) for the game, so it wasn't worth the "upgrade."

They make some great patches for the game over at www.soccergaming.tv

 

The only saving grace for Fifa right now is having all the major team licenses and their passing system. To counter, Winning Eleven 9 has a great passing system and it has the real players names.

If you love Fifa, you should get it pregnant and leave it for Winning Eleven 9

 

I'm waiting for the next Winning Eleven, which will come out in January. It will have all the team licenses.

 

Music to my ears.
