yea Exar_Kun thats a good comment about the Winning Eleven Soccer but if u notice Konami seems to be getting a little greedy with the title since they see its such a hit for soccer fans especially....last year was 7 (i think, correct me if i worng) and they already bring 8.
But as u said it is a better title, once they don't become as EA just releasing a series "because". Then too EA not really dominant is just as said before more releases which means less effort put into it....for example which fighting game EA ever released that was a hit?(if they released any at all)...I don't think they could even compete with titles like Capcom, Konami SNK etc... so many titles and i don't think they would think about sell to EA.
In my opinion EA more into sports and somewhat illegal stuff i.e. Burnout & NFSU (1 or 2)
I've played FIFA SOCCER (EA) for quite sometime and as the years go by u see graphics slowly lacking (even though they make it to be supported by as much pc's as possible, which is good). First bad move was taking out the "shakes"/"beats" ...then they had crappy camera angles.
The only thing really was harder profession levels, but the worst of all was that Trinidad hardly ever in it (bleh). But seriously their quality is degrading and soon people who come to their senses may stop supporting it...to me FIFA 1998 to 2001 was the best they had but after that......
but overall as said before they just have ownership not much skills, because any real gamer would know better games take longer to create.....
i could go on and on but i would take a whole page just wanted to give a general comment
