FIFA 2004 won, what a load of flippin' crapulence!!!
Why the hell wasn't PES3 nominated?

 

[Giggsy11]

PES wasn't nominated because more ppl play the other sports games than PES and its safe to say out of the ones that where nominated FIFA was the best one

 

[Travis Bickle]

I'm gonna disagree there, if there was a "crappy highly-endorsed so we don't have to bother with the gameplay" award, FIFA would win just beating Buffy and that simpsons game, oh and Harry 'pone' Potter

But as for sport, I don't think wrestling should be in there not the way the Americans do it anyway. Everyone likes Tony Hawks but skateboarding is just a past-time, therefore as a representation of a true sport and done extremely well, Formula One is exceptional, that should have won hands-down (Edit* I'm talking about the sony one not the rubbish F1 Challenge that I've just noticeds there.) I play it almost as much as pes and I still can't believe how they get the split times so close to the real thing, and the tracks are unbelievably real, so as it missed out on the racing section to some 'made up cars and tracks' poor mans gran turismo then give it the sports award.

I don't know about you but when ever I see a microsoft x-box title ever win an award, i can't help thinking how much Bill Gates had bung the judges. I think it only came about after he got done for releasing those fake x-box graphics in all the magazines.

PES3 is the best sports game i av eva played, and everyone i know says the same, so it should have bin nominated.

 

[Giggsy11]

Its nominated by the people who play the games so obviously pes has to do a bit of growning up before it can play with the big boys

 

[Gary G]

A bit of growing up?

so you think fifa is more realistic than pes? gotta disagree with you there

 

[Giggsy11]

Read my post again, I did not say that...more ppl buy fifa than pes every year so they will be more votes in favor of fifa and the other sports games so thats why pes3 was not nominated.

 

[Gary G]

ok , So by 'growing up' you mean just selling more, what steps do you think konami could take to sell more copies of pes in the future

 

[Giggsy11]

Well they obviously need to licenses fifa has with some catchy and authentic advertising this will help grow the reputation of the series. There are many ppl out there who would rather have the looks than the gamplay so when pes gets licenses then all of those ppl will make the switch from fifa

 

[Gary G]

If pes got licences it would be massive, currently the licensed teams and players increase slightly with each pes game

 

[Giggsy11]

Yeah and Konami have got that expert guy to get licenses for the new pes4 game so the future is bright

If this is the case that it is based on sales then they're gonna have to change it. Consumers no fuck all about anything if they were in charge of all awards, then West Life would win a grammy and some crap geeky film about orks and elves would win an oscar.

authentic advertising

i must remember that for my business class.

all pes needs to sell copies with is to put a big football star on the front cover. Yes collina is a recognized figure in world football, but he is not very appealing is he?? you want to put some1 on like Zidane or something (cant put Beckham on coz he has his own game. atleast i think so)

 

[Mappa C]

Beckham does have his own game (shit btw). I think all PES needs is full licences and it would easily out sell FIFA.

 

[Zygalski]

fifa fans take that!

I think it's a bit daft the fact that having the likes of Henry, Del Piero & Ronaldinho on the front cover of a game helps some peoples decision whether to buy that game or not.

BTW just checked that link Zyg, very funny.

Check out the Tricks on how to score goals thread aswell
