if, it was a tight one for sure, walcott terrorized my poor little norwegian. that's the second in a row i've lost in the 90th minute or so, this game is truly unforgiving.

good game still! i actually thought you would get one considering my many defence clusterfucks when i was just passing the ball around in my own penalty area... i think i've given up winning this round.
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 24 October 2009 15:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Do I still have time to join this? I have been distracted by how surprisingly good Smackdown 2010 is. Also it doesn't constantly rain in that game.

I hate the results ticker at the bottom of the screen for regularly spoiling Match of the Day but it is almost worth it for the occasional Santigold 0 - 0 Portsmouth.

The computer can be weirdly hyper-aggressive. Just played a match where they won two red cards in the first 20 minutes. I've never played a game against the AI where that has ever happened, that I can remember. Should I be embarrassed I only won 6-0?
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 26 October 2009 05:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Finally played my first online ranked match, and it was great. Maybe I just got lucky? It felt so much more dynamic and interesting compared to the games I've been playing against the computer - much more intense. When my opponent scored ten minutes in I figured I was doomed by lack of experience, but I scored an equalizer shortly before the half, then scored a second goal at 90+ for the satisfying (and surprising) victory.
This Saturday and/or Sunday I'll definitely be on for some ILX league games.

Has this second patch turned up on XBOX yet? What does it do? I will join whatever league is there when I get Internet at mah new flat.
haha yeaaaah

keepers are shit when the ball is near their feet...they often fail to dive on it and someone hammers it in while standing about a foot from them

Despite what they said, the stadium / crowd atmosphere seems pretty much exactly the same, yes?

I like that the opposition fans cheer my goals, good work EA.

I've always been a PES guy (the last several years exclusive to the Wii version), but this is on sale for $40 and I can get it for half that with some gift cards. Should I break down and give it a go? Are the tutorials decent or will I just flail and die like I did with the demo?
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 03:58 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't think there are any tutorials
― Jeff LeVine, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 04:56 (fourteen years ago) link

― (9/9/8/9) (cozwn), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 06:26 (fourteen years ago) link
non-interactive video tutorials. But they are there.
― badg, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 07:12 (fourteen years ago) link
The fucking menus in this game! Never noticed those tutorials before - they're not bad either.

― Jeff LeVine, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 07:50 (fourteen years ago) link
the tutorials are pretty cool.I still love this game. And still don't understand people who complain about how it's a disaster because of its bugs (there are some but they don't annoy me much). I've also played the career mode a lot and although it's supposed to be horrible because of said bugs, I love it (and no it's not always raining and evening games !).

EZ, I really don't think the game is terribly different from classic PES other than reversing the shot and lob buttons (which are reconfigurable anyways). I'd suggest it has caught up to the best years of PES. The final game and the demo are pretty much exactly the same though, so if you couldn't get into that... Yet, after five or ten games I'm sure anybody with even a passing knowledge of football will be able to grasp the surface play in FIFA and do decently. The key to really getting into the game is having "real life" friends to play against. Playing against the computer is fine, but it lacks a certain dynamism and excitement. Playing online seems likek it can kind of be a crap shoot, in that you have to sometimes deal with the stuff associated with playing random games against strangers 1 vs 1. We tried setting up an ILX league on 360, but have yet to get enough players to have that be really viable. Maybe in a few more years we will finally get there!
― Jeff LeVine, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 15:49 (fourteen years ago) link
p.s. 360 league, we should try to play some games this Saturday or Sunday
Picked it up because I just couldn't pass up the deal. I'll let you guys know what I think after some time with it. By the way, watching a few of those video tutorials were the kicker.
I think my trouble with the demo was coming to it after two years of only PES Wii. The mindset needed is so radically different I couldn't wrap my head around it. I think I'll be able to figure it out and hopefully won't get too frustrated with AI teammates; PES Wii really spoils the player in that regard.

My best and most ridiculous victory online ever:

3-0 down at half time, 7-5 down with 5 mins of extra time left.

“That was not a football score, it was a hockey score…in training I often play matches of three against three and when the score reaches 5-4 I send the players back to the dressing room, because they are not defending properly”

I'm slowly getting a handle on this - really quite good, and the AI seems much better than in the demo. I do have a question though - is anyone playing the Be A Pro thing? I really love it in the NHL series, but I'm having trouble finding a camera that works well for it in FIFA. Any suggestions? And speaking of cameras, what are people using for general play? I'm not exactly happy with any of the defaults, and my tweaks don't seem to be helping.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 December 2009 13:48 (fourteen years ago) link
I seriously have the coolest wife ever. She got me this and NBA 2k10 for XMas.
Is there a running ILX league that I could join on PS3 or do I need to wait for the next go around?

so my brother got me this (on PS2, admittedly, he ain't that much of a pimp) and i tried to play it last night.
The last PES (on PS2, admittedly, I ain't that much of a pimp) is a steaming pile, but this was just fucking horrible. Hateful weightless feel, shots just go at random directions, passes go to random players, camera frequently lags behind the ball and there is slowdown (fucking SLOWDOWN people it's 2010 ffs) at corners/set plays.
Why the fuck can't EA make a decent football game? Why have Konami forgotten how to?

If PES on PS3 is that much of an improvement then I'll be investing in the Summer.

there are still games coming out on PS2 even to this day; also PS2 has only just launched in some markets

The demo of WC2010 is pretty good, but it's so short it's difficult to get a real handle on it. It's a bit tighter and the goalkeepers aren't morons. Physics of keepers making saves seems a bit more varied. Commentary from Townsend and Tyldsley appropriately infernal but seems to benefit from a less-is-more approach compared to FIFA 2010's misguided ramblings.
It's a risible cash grab obviously, but I'm assuming there'll be hundreds of them available used by the time World Cup Fever is properly gripping mah throat.
