The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
When we all laugh at games which are bad we are forgetting something. Many people have poured effort and time into these games, and they wanted them to do well.
It is hard to make a game good, and they know it. If you tryed to do it you will find out how hard it is.
Graphics is the same. It takes time and effort.
So next time you laught at a game. Remeber, that is a lot of people's hard work in there.

They could do original games, then release annual updates with the new team rosters and kits on say a memory card.

Of course, sometimes with a new machine out, the developers need a test-run at making the game (a bloke on bits talking about the x-box said so), generally there is little effort put into the actual game, just getting the programing techniques right. They release it anyway for a little extra money. At the start of the machines life there won't be too much competition, and they'll notch up a few sales through ignorance and desperation (sounds like my dating tactics!). The game was always going to be as pants as american trousers, and I think it's pretty disrespectful to the buying public to put it out to try to milk it.
Technically speaking EA are bringing out 'updates' and not sequels. There will be those huge EA fans who just HAVE to have every edition that EA bring out, but for most of us just one FIFA game does us, until we get sick of having to us up most of our transfers to get Bradford playing as a team in the Premiership, and then have to go out and buy the most recent version.
I think EA should offer a free download service for PC, DC and PS2 versions of their game, a bit like a patch. So if you have paid £40 for one edition, they allow you free downloads as the new editions come out, so that way the customer is happy because they always have an up to date edition (until EA incorporate a new engine), and EA will be happy because...er....well, maybe not.
As for love and hate, any developer worth his salt would quit the company he was working for if they released a game he was working on in such a state as Superman was, and go and work for a company that can afford to miss deadlines in an effort to bring out quality games as opposed to rushed one.

I understand effort is put into everything on the market but there are times that you feel a bit cheated - We buy the same FIFA game every year, a lot of effort is put into the graphics but the gameplay is never changed!!!

How would you explain EA Sports releasing the same FIFA year in year out - Not much effort is put into them by the looks of things!!
