It's taken me a while to figure this out, but this whole ndustry is incredibly hypocritical.

Here are some reasons for this thinking:

Just seen an advert for Championship Manager 01/02 while looking round the forums.

No doubt this game will sell well.

No doubt it will be bought by people who slate EA for realsing the same FIFA games each year. Seems a bit hypocritical to me.

At least with FIFA you get better graphics each time around, and possibly an improved control system.

What do you get with the new CM? A slightly less "Excel" look to it? OR do you buy it so you can have all the updated values of Going-out-getting-drunk-and-beating-the-wife?

That's point number one, moving on two the next now:

Why do people say "It's the games that count, graphics don't matter", yet when a new game or console is due out, the press and forums are filled with "Phwoah! Look at the graphics! Watch that video clip!".

See what I mean?
