I've had nearly every Fifa football game since 1996 on the megadrive, but after hearing people talk, this year i went for Pro Evolution Soccer 3. Good choice? Who is the Real Madrid of the footy world?

I'll have you know the LDV vans Trophy is a very respectable cup...as it happens we are in the Northen Semi's too...ahem.

Pro Evo 3 is best, by the way.

We were cheated out of the Southern Semi's.

We were cheated out of a win against Mansfield tonight. The ref gave two pointless penalties. The first on 72 mins which they pulled back to 2-2 and the second on the 90th, which obviously killed us. :c(

The Plastic pitch on there was quality, but SWOS on the Amiga is GOD.

Never a truer thing said. SWOS owns everything and always will do. In this one instance i will quite happily admit i am a big SWOS fanboy. Unfortunately my Uncle took his Amiga back so now i have to make do with a crappy emulated version playing on my keyboard, which is damn near impossible

Don't talk silly.

PES3 is the best football game there is at the moment, until a newer, better version is released.

Retro gaming is fine, and will hold many happy memories for all gamers through the years, but really SWOS is not even close to PES3.

Games will always improve. (not always the case, but generally most do)

We wondered how they could improve on FIFA 97 on the megadrive, i remember that being the best football game ever!!!!
Matchday II even on the speccy was great, "you can head it" were the joyous crys.

But you go play em now and you'll be crying out for the photo realistic Real Madrid that is PES3, after just 1 game of the blocky monochrome sprites of Ritman Rovers.

Games designers will always improve aswel as consoles, the best games are always the newest versions.



P.S. SWFC for the LDV cup!

No, i still play SWOS every year over the summer becasue its a class game. I find quite amusing that many gamers worry more abut the colour of a footballers boots or the design of the football rather than the actual game itself.

Sure, PES3 is closer to the real thing than SWOS which makes it a better realistic game but it doesnt make it a more enjoyable game.

I'm still playing SWOS nearly a decade after it first came out. Thats how you can tell if a game truly is a classic. I went back and played Fifa 97 not too along ago it was complete tripe.
