Had FIFA over Christmas as it was bought for me, and I can safely say the game makes me physically ill whilst playing it. I have tried everything to get some kind of satisfaction out of it, I've tried the sliders, I've tried the difficulty levels. Win, lose or draw I still can't get any pleasure out of out and the glitch 'cheat' CPU goals are just retarded and make me want to smash something. The amount of off the ball penalties I'm conceding is just ridiculous. The amount of 45 minute goals me and the CPU are scoring is just ridiculous. Together with the 90 minute goals.
It's safe to say that if you play the game more than two games the game becomes one repetitive chore which I derive no satisfaction out of. It's just devoid of any personality. I won 4-0 against Wigan and I couldn't really care. The only thing which triggers pure rage is the cheap CPU goals. Two games in a row the CPU scored 90 minute equalisers when me CPU controlled defenders were dragged ludicrously out of position.
What makes the game SO disappointing is the veneer on top. The presentation, the initial 'OMG' at the ball physics and animations, and the satisfaction as your first goal crashes into the net. But passed all that, and after two hours of play, you see the say thing over and over. I really, really want to like FIFA. I have caned PES and thought I'd just like to have something different on offer. But whereas PES (modded) keeps me coming back, FIFA makes me sick after prolonged use. Seriously. I think it may just be the constant repetition of zonal marking and positioning, and patterns of moves by the CPU. Generally I can see goals coming a mile off when the CPU works a position to just 'do you' leaving your crappy defender powerless.
Anyways, FIFA is being sold lol, if anyone wants it for £20 PM me!
