I've never enjoyed the Fifa series myself...after playing soccer for a good part of my life..the winning eleven stuff kicks their arse all over the field IMHO. Maybe this one will change that. I'll rent first to see.

The nuances of winning eleven leaving me going "holy crap" .. that's exactly how it really happened, *exactly* what I would have done in that situation...it's like deja vu sometimes. It's sooooo subtle that I really couldn't describe the specifics in detail..but it's simply amazing at times.. and just that good at getting it right.

EA definitely needs to step if they want to even match winning eleven's greatness.

Finally! I've been dying for a soccer game to come to PS3...

Soccer is so boring! Most people here in the US,don't care for it. Most popular is football and baseball.

thanks for the scans, im looking forward to it and i hope EA step it up after the dissapointment of the Fifa 07 on the 360 i hope they make this game better.They need to also match pro evo so tis going to be tricky. But to me the graphics look exactly the same as the 360 After throwing my 360 out for my beautiful PS3 i wont a better game worthy of the graphics but i have a feeling it will be a port.

I'm an American and I feel your pain. That isn't right. America should call football something else. Well, at least they are speeled differently (futball...football).

Preview and four 720p shots from IGN. This will run at 60fps apparently, more than twice what I've experienced in two Fifa 360 demos so far (unstable 30). We shall see what they've achieved on PS3.

How can you say soccer is boring? You have 90 minutes packed w/ non-stop action. Football and baseball on the other hand have a commercial break every two minutes. Football is ok to watch, but baseball... I would first gouge out my eyes...

[bferr1]

This one will be mine. Is that 9/25 date pretty firm?

[dgator783]

A bunch more screens, nice grass effect - if EA aren't bullshotting like they often do.

I can't believe people still buy this c**p! I realized a long time ago that EA is just out there to sell you the same game for years with just an update year after year. I stopped buying FIFA 4 years ago and never looked back! I've been buying Winning Eleven and importing PES since then and never have regreted doing so!

[Shin-Ra]

Every yearly sport outing including PES looks like a shameless cash-in to me. The only exciting upgrades seem to happen with new hardware platforms.

Just as well I'm not into these games.
