Comments on: EA to axe 19 leagues for “exclusive” 360 version of FIFA 07

The 360 may have next-gen exclusive on FIFA 07 and PES 6 but wording can be deliberate. There can be a FIFA PS3 or PES PS3 without breaking the exclusive deals you know.

Oh and Seabass from Konami stated that he wasnt happy with M$ for saying that PES 6 is a 360 exclusive because it isnt quite, he indicated a PS3 game is not far behind but we’ll see.

You are a fucking fool then ain’t you, because you won’t be getting either PES or FIFA on the PS3 until at least November 2007, you tit.

You ain’t even going to see FIFA 07 on the PS3 at all.

I think it’s funny that anyone would try to spin this into anything other than EA being lazy yet again. Disc space concerns? Please. It’s just another instance of EA not getting the job done, and releasing the game anyway.

The PS3 will get the same half-assed job from EA, don’t worry. Until the ‘next-gen’ becomes the primary development platform, we’ll keep seeing EA games that have more courses/players/teams/features on the last-gen hardware. It saves them development time on the next-gen, they can bill the added stuff in the subsequent versions as “new” content, and the extra stuff gives last-gen versions a reason to be bought.

It’s lame, but it’s EA - get used to it.

Oh like EA don’t have the money or time to do it? This is their third fucking attempt in one year, and you can actually defend that?!?!

Well I am Scottish and I will not be buying this half arsed title.

seriously people, ea have had to build this new fifa from the ground up with minimal code reuse. This is quite a feat and I for one would rather sacrifice a fair amount of smaller leagues in order to provide the improvment in gameplay that fifa so badly needs (in comparison to pro evo). And Rossko, the lack of teams & stadiums is not a reflection of the power of the 360 but of the time constraints of building entirely new HD models for each kit and stadium.

Your point?

Don’t think the conversation was a Sony vs MS thread but a EA are money grabbing bastards thread, if you disagree you either work for EA are on the wind up or are just a blind fool, which is it?

Also PES never pretended to be the daddy of official football games with all the official leagues and players, unlike EA “unless you happen to spend money on the best console out on the market because we can’t be bothered to make the game from the ground up and would far rather just port it over with enhanced graphics but missing half the gameplay” Sports.

You do all know Fifa 07 on the Xbox 360 is a completely different game to the PS2/Xbox/PC/GC version which is just an evolution of the Fifa 06 engine? The reason for less teams is because the game is completely different, and they have had to start from scratch. They’ve put the main leagues in (as a Huddersfield Town fan I’m gutted League One isn’t in) but as a game, Fifa 07 will play better on the 360 than it will on any other format, and as for Pro Evo 6, so you bitch when someone makes a next gen football game but has to take some features from past gen out, but have no problem handling over tha same amount for a PS2 game that has had a very cheap port across then had the online play butchered? You do know the PS2 Pro Evo 6 supports more players online than the Xbox 360 ver right? Get over yourselves.

I was already converted when I realised they were going to release three games that were essentially the same in the one year in a money making scam.

Dirty bastards.

PES!!! Woooo, FIFA can suck monkey spunk!

Oh yeah cos, Oblivion, such a nice looking game but really short?!?!?!

Or Test drive can’t get over how small that game is?!?!?!

EA speaking shite to try and cover up the fact they are money grabbing cunts that do everything hald arsed to make a quick buck.

While your at it why don’t you ask why Battlefield does not have proper voice support.

Why Tiger woods was cut to fuck from the Xbox to 360 port.

Why everyone is starting to get the feeling everything they do for the 360 is half arsed?

Have they finally adopted the Sony mentality of “fuck it, give them shit and they will buy it anyways, beacuse it has our well respected name on it”?

YOU WOULD THINK THAT ONE OF THE RICHEST GAME DEVELOPERS IN THE WORLD COULD THROW A FEW EXTRA BONES OVER TO THE 360 SIDE AND MAKE A KICKASS SOCCER, I MEAN FOOTBALL GAME WITH ALL THE FIXINGS!!!!I THINK EA NEEDS A GOOD HEADBUTT OR KICK IN THE ASS $$$$

I look forward to PES. I have 2006 World Cup for 360 (the second one), and I like it. Hopefully, PES will make like it more.

Rossko UK — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 21:10:55 +0000

Yeah but PES had gameplay. So many people buy FIFA for all the official stuff, because “it looks better”. PES will surely have way more now as well.

By: Number13

But they already have the league rights or they wouldn’t be able to release versions with those leagues, surely?

If you stopped and thought for just a moment, maybe you’d realise that building anything on 360 or PS3 is a lot more time consuming and thus expensive. So if you want next-gen quality you have to accept less quantity for now. Or be prepared to pay more.

EA is screwing over their fans by being too cheap to create proper assets for the stuff they already have in their last-gen games. If I was a soccer fan I wouldn’t put up with this…

Pro Evo never had a LOT of leagues either, lets not forget.

I can’t believe people still buy EA games. Try burning your money instead. Its much more enjoyable, and it doesn’t contribute to a corrupt, inflated, peice of shit company like EA.

i was thinking of buying the game but after having read this, EA just convinced me not to buy it lol. i pity them … *shakes his head in dismay*

I don’t care about soccer games, but EA is an f’in joke these days. I liked them better when they were just Electronic Arts. Kinda like Terrell Owens, he was cool until he became “T.O.”

Looking at the list, it seems almost ludicrous that some of these leagues are missing. NO Scottish leagues at all. EA have really dropped the ball here, and if they are using it to make more money by selling the extra leagues on the marketplace then this is truly a very poor marketing move and will lose them fans. So much for hte exclusive xbox 360 has next gen sewn up this year

WHO CARES? EA Sports haven’t made a full featured game since the 16 bit era.
Pro Evolution Soccer was always the way to go.

dont worry i have asked why so many leagues have been cut from the game and im waiting for a response.

To be honest it maybe because they see it as a mediocre league and the time and money it would cost to by the league rights just isnt worth it in the long run.

I dont know but am trying to find out more so will post as soon as i find out.

Yeah I’m sure all the Dutch FIFA fans won’t miss the ‘eredivisie’/Ajax/Feyenoord/PSV anyway….

Please mail your EA mate that they should stop screwing over their fans.
