to be honest i've never understood the behaviour of brand-loyal people, i can understand it if you work for Konami or Electronic Arts, but otherwise it's bollocks. I love playing Pro Evo and the last FIFA game i enjoyed was FIFA RTWC 98, since then i've played most of them and found them poor games with loads of features and teams, just like this year. Yes it's a big improvement, but i thought last years was also a big improvement, but still not a great game. It's good, and it can be addictive, but it hasn't got that realism that Pro Evo has, and as for easy goals, FIFA has them, don't you worry, it has them. As for graphics, since FIFA 2000 i've thought Pro Evo had more realistic graphics, the FIFA graphics look too blurry, like the camera's covered in vaseline, the players faces look awful (as proven in another thread) and the kits, although licensed, are disgraceful, speaking of which, has anyone noticed that the Liverpool home kit on the last two FIFAs has been based on the fake mock kit that came out months before the real one? If you look at the white pipingon the shoulders of the real kit, it's an arch shape that follows the shoulders, in FIFA it goes up into the collar and disappears under it, the collar is also completely wrong (and completely lacking in FIFA 07). Also, the stadia are too dark, in real life Anfield has lights inside the ground, and the crowd react with the match, in FIFA they don't.
Plus, one of the most frustrating small parts of FIFA 08 is the ref and linesmen, they don't fucking react to anything at all, in the PES2008 demo, the linesmen flag for fouls, corners, throw-ins etc. In FIFA 08 they just run up and down the line doing fuck all.
