Last time I played FIFA, it was FIFA 07 on my old Gamecube!!

I’m still playing winning 11 9 on the first generation xbox! I can’t let it go. I just hate roster updating.

PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) has always been the superior soccer video game with the exception of the latest version PES2008, which is a piece of shit.

What is the “AI”, Aditya ?
I lost 9-0 because I only play against Professionnal game players ! They play all the time, Fifa and PES.

When I play, I’m just in front of the TV, with my remote control, saying (yelling ?) to it what I want to do.
I guess I’m good to see how to play. But I’m also really bad to realize what I wanna do !

To me, Football’s playing with the feet. Cannot play with my hands. I’m not Maradona.

(I remember the EA publicity thing! I still have pictures from that)

From what I see from the forums, his popularity is definitely rising. And then again so are rumours of a move to Real or United.

All I play is FIFA Manager on my phone (OL is easy to win with, and it boring real fast..)

I remember two years ago, Tony Parker and Juninho played video games together for an EA publicity thing.

Also, two years ago, Juninho was on the French cover of FIFA 07 and also in the trailer for it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8ykgpLc7XlI

@ Jo. How did you lose 9-0. Did you start playing on World Class level right away? The AI just starts missing a lot after 3-0.

Glad to see Benzema and Ribery on the cover. I hope that they play well next season and make amends for the dismal show at Euros in 2010 WC.

Inara – Benzema’s super marketable but what i see is that there are 2 french players on the cover. It’s true that Fifa has always had a bias towards french players since Ginola covered the three first ones and then henry for a few years then ribery and now benzema.
It’s great
