Painful Realism

To quote myself, FIFA 10 is the most realistic football simulation from top to bottom we’ve ever had. Yes, PES does have better graphics overall, but no one would confuse it for a real game with the awkward, Popeye forearms every player has and the stiff running that reminds us all of Seamus from Family Guy.

2) Don’t take this post as representative of my political views.
3) Turkey in Euro 2008 is the only underdog in the history of underdogs that I ever enjoyed watching.

(This showed up in the google search for Tiger Woods…seriously)
As much as I hate the fact that everyone seems to care what’s going on in Tiger Woods’ life (I don’t), I couldn’t resist the opportunity to reveal one of my guilty pleasures: angry golfers on YouTube.

I am not at liberty to discuss how thankful I am for what the English refer to as birds, so I will discuss how grateful I am for these birds.

I’ll confess that I haven’t gotten this year’s edition, so I’m only going on what fellow soccer/football video game dorks have told me. To paraphrase, this is what it sounds like to me:
It’s official; FIFA finally buried PES. EA gave Konami a Texas Funeral and didn’t even leave flowers. It’s a shame, and at the same time, it was inevitable. Realistically, Konami wasn’t going to be able to keep pace, and the PES crew lost its lead in the generation hop when people jumped ship on them because it wasn’t all purdy and HD. EA can afford to have people working on developments for the next generation, and Konami has to focus on the here and now.
There’s no doubt who the better soccer-gaming minds were. Seabass and his crew torched the EA crew for about three years, but a little competition is always going to improve the product. We can thank Seabass for the vast improvements in FIFA just as much as we can thank EA. Konami lit a fire underneath the FIFA branch, but they forgot to clean up all of the wood kindling and close the fire off with a rock circle.
Well, the graphics are still pretty good anyway.

IGN also has a solid breakdown of everything too.
Basically, the wallet that runs only slightly deeper than any of ours is not enough to compete with the monopoly that is EA. Even before FIFA was a good game, they had a religious following. Now that FIFA is actually worthwhile, the game is over.
Hope I’m wrong.
