Yes, that's right.
I. Hate. Fifa.
I don't even know why they even bother making any more Fifa games, they're all terrible.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not making this topic out of spite towards football games, ISS has made me a happy man in my old age (when I say old, I mean young), and still today ISS '98 is my third favourite N64 game below Mario and good ol' Goldeneye.
No. It's just Fifa.
It's the whole Fifa-ness that just makes me cringe and want to throw an orange at the wall, watching it all dribble down while I scream in anger because of the whole Fifa-ness. It's like they're laughing at me.
"Ohhhh, we're Fifa, we're great, we have the rights to all the footballers names, blah blah blah!"
If I had the chance I'd shove the name David Beckham right up their... nose!
I mean, what's the fun in having real names?
Its nice to play a football game and see names such as Savid Deaman pop up evry once in a while. Things like Ponaldinho and Borerto Marlos makes playing a football game so much more fun than just having real, boring names.
Another thing is, why do they seem to bring out Fifa 2003 in 2002??!! I don't get it, is it supposed to bring you news from the future? Maybe a few new future players? No, it's just they're so stupid they don't know what year it is, they're been behind a year for ages now, if you tell them they're wrong you'll get a smack around the face for the being a 'silly little boy'. Gah!
Maybe it's some kind of moto they have.
"Always a year ahead of the rest!"
You can imagine loads of people sitting around a huge table "Ho, Ho, Ho"-ing like a dinner party full of Santa Clauses. It makes me want to become the Grinch and shut them idiots up.
If this isn't bad enough, the games are all rubbish too!
Each game has really bad controls and not-very lasting gameplay. I haven't played any Fifa game that's worthy of a 9/10 score. Plus, I've never seen a Fifa game in a magazine score a 9. Maybe I don't get enough magazines, who knows?
But really, you would have thought, that because the franchise is so old, there would have a solid football game by now. But no. Oh no. They don't learn by their mistakes. It's because people keep buying it! Even though magazines are saying no, people will go out and buy a Fifa game. Maybe if no one did they’d read a few more reviews on websites and magazines.
But, of course, because I've said this, Fifa 2003 will come along and end up being the best football game ever seen. Because, if you make a topic like this (like I have) you're basically walking in front of a target at an archery competition.
Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Also, if you're wondering, the 1's in the title are for effect.

If you want a quality football game, then the best out at the moment is This is Football 2003. It has the suckiest TV advert that ever sucked, but the game itself is fantastic!
Shame my brother wont get it for his PS2 though...

It seems as though everyone hates Fifa.
So either they didn't to start off with, or i persuaded them into hating it.
Either way I win. :-D

he made me think of it cos all the little football players want to be michael owen etc so if something says michael owen or david beckham etc on it then it will be bought becasue of it... for example people would prefer to buy a NIKE jumper than a Marks and Spencer knock off called EUROTEC.. If ya get me? its a label thing

I agree with the title, and I agree with the post.
