even though I have recently been put off by them....online multiplayer player games like COD and FIFA are definitely worth the money.
No matter how dumb AI is you are playing with and against other real people so there are an infinite amount of actions and strategies people use against you and you use against people. All the game has to be is moderately balanced.
I love single player games like fallout and The Last of Us but but FIFA and COD for the same price can = 100hours for a more conservative player

Look at it this way.
FIFA, Madden, and all games that fall under that category are basically Xbox/PS answer to Mario Party in a sense. Alone, they are pretty cruddy games, however with fans of similar sport they are great fun to play with and bond with other people through competition and spirit.
As such, I tend to ignore those games as a whole. However I can see their merit.

Which game introduced the "off the ball" system, which allowed you to control squad members who weren't in possession of the ball? I remember that being a pretty huge change; completely changed your tactics.tippy2k2 said:
I haven't played any recent ones, though, since it was my brother who bought them. He doesn't buy them every year, but FIFA and Rockstar's suff is basically all he plays; he's more of a film fan.
This won't explain the repeat yearly buyers, but like most forms of media there will always be a market of new buyers. People have made fun of Mario and Mega Man for coming out with successive games with similar gameplay, but for one population their first game may be the third or fourth in the series, since that is what came out when they bought their first system. Some parents may buy the game to accompany a gift concole for their child, or a lad in their 30's may buy a cheap copy to go with their used system. When games like Madden and FIFA may come out with yearly titles, there is always someone who is buying their first copy.
Well, it's pretty much the only football game available on current gen stuff, isn't it?
It's a shame that EA have the market cornered on that; at least in the past FIFA had the ISS series as competition.
In fact, it's a shame that EA have the whole sports game market cornered. But what can anyone else do, going up against such huge sellers is probably a daunting prospect.

Honestly no idea. They seem pretty much the same aside from very few added features.
They just get sold to football fanatics, people who enjoy watching football but cant be asked to play it and chavs.
I have been forced to play it round friends a couple of times and I cant say I enjoyed playing much. But when I found the slide tackle button.... everything changed. I now spend %100 of my time with fifa screaming CLATTER! and flinging my poorly rendered men into the opposing team.

I get a new fifa every year, but always the one from 2 years ago, ie I just got fifa 12 for a fiver and honestly, I think I made a mistake doing that.
The diffrence is negligible and the graphics havent improved that mich since fifa 10 really.

I'm not sure. I didn't think you could directly control the other players if you have possession of the ball (outside of Superstar mode) but you've been able to indirectly control them since I started playing with 2011. I could be wrong about the direct control thing though...ScrabbitRabbit said:
The FIFA games do have competition in the Pro Evolution Soccer series (previously known as Winning Eleven). I believe that except for (American) Football, each sport has a competing franchise against the EA juggernaut.Pink Gregory said:
Back to the OT: I'm very shocked that people find the community of FIFA to be that bad. I've played a lot of games (28-12-8 in season play alone if you were curious) and I don't recall ever receiving shitty messages and whatnot while playing. I'd like to think I'm pretty good and I would imagine winning would open you up to more pissed off hate mail than losing...
The "Pro Clubs" system (where every player on the field is controlled by a real person) has a lot of horrible people however since if you're not perfect, they seem to jump on you and EVERYONE wants to play fucking forward whether that is their position or not. I can't stand that mode and generally will stay away from there...
You hatin mate? Me and the boiz'll meet u round back ov estate fo uh standud bang up bruvs!shootthebandit said:
I dont think you play Fifa for the love of the community... its more about the abuse and clattering.
