Unless you’re some sort of crazy robot or cyborg (who is also conveniently controlled by an XBox controller), the answer is [...]

From the EA Horse’s Mouth

By: Sneakers O'Toole | Comments No Comments

I’m in the ER for an asthma attack, and I have been searching FIFA info while I wait for treatment. God bless WiFi.

By: Sneakers O'Toole | Comments 3 Comments

The only thing I got out of this video is that I like Marseille’s jersey. Neither game looks much different from the 09 edition, but my God, did Konami put EA to shame in the realistic looking boot department or what?

Video Of the Day

By: Sneakers O'Toole | Comments 7 Comments

Finally someone from EA has emerged from the rubble and shown their faces. I always wondered what they would call the game that is meant to cover the 2009/2010 season. Will they just continue with numbers in the teens? FIFA 11, 12, 17? How does it work? Does anyone have the code for how to [...]

Some might already know where I’m going with this. Anyone that plays online either is one or has crossed paths with one on their Online FIFA endeavors. This, of course, is the Ronald-hoe (see also: Messi/Eto’o strumpet).
This peculiar species [...]

The Feud: Konami’s Wallet vs. EA’s Buffoons

By: Sneakers O'Toole | Comments 11 Comments

First and foremost, I wish Dave Martinez and all of my predecessors the best. I’m grateful for this opportunity; may they live long and prosper.

It finally happened; EA made a solid soccer game. By some odd happenstance, the schmucks that get paid to create a soccer game served up a game that didn’t make [...]
