I have no idea why I keep buying Fifa
the_pied_piper:
I used to always buy the PES games rather than FIFA as I always thought that the gameplay was more realistic and because I didn't care about shitty licenses when they're not real players anyway, they're just fucking pixels on a screen but now neither game is much different from the other and they both have the same annoying problems.
Some problems I have with all football games in general:
1. What the fuck is up with the defensive AI? Seriously, people, defenses do not move in a goddamn flat line every damn second of every damn game. Even with defensive preferences tweaked the AI lacks any vision whatsoever e.g. the lob pass over the top where the defender takes about 10 seconds to turn because he thinks he is a goddamn aircraft carrier and the striker has already scored by the time he realises the player he is supposed to be marking is gone.
2. What the fuck is up with the Goalkeeping AI? This is even worse than the defensive AI because this is the one position where a logical response to each movement is extremely necessary yet you get fucking stupid shit like the Goalkeeper running out at the ball when there are 2 defenders there already and then the attacking team just makes a 5 yard pass and taps it into an empty net. Or you get other stupid shit like the GK diving the wrong way for some unknown reason when it is really freaking obvious that the shot is not going there.
And for that BE A PRO mode that they love to harp on about, I really hate the awful cameras you have to choose from with the awful zoom options and stupid swishing that make you run in the wrong goddamn direction even though you haven't moved your thumb at all.
TL;DR All football games suck.
(Just for clarity, the most recent versions I have are FIFA '10 and PES2010, both for the PS3)

I agree with the first and last parts of your post. To me the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same as 10, and the ball physics are great for shooting and long passing. The short passing has taken a bit of a hit though, the Be A Pro achievements system is at least not broken like in 10, but having a bunch of achievements dependent on playing on World Class means that I have to make a choice between grinding WC games that I won't find fun in order that my BAP character be the best it can be and giving up and not playing the BAP part after a certain amount of time because I'll get sick of the lack of progress and I don't want to play a game that I don't find fun.
Also, they've taken the International stuff out of the BAP part of the game, and I found the International games to be a nice intermission to the club matches. I also liked working my way up through the reserves, but in this they plonk you into the starting 11 from the beginning. They've made the stuff that was fun to work towards less fun by making part of it unnecessarily easy and another part annoyingly difficult.
Also, do you have a PS3 or a 360? I am actually quite curious as to the differences between the two platforms.
