The END OF EA??

yah. They took a big step in 2004. All the movements and stuff became more fluid, but it still wasn't like soccer....too much back and forth going on.

2005 is sweet. I've decided to go rent Burn Out 3 and Pro Evo on my way home. I'll be pissed if I've been backing NFS:Underground 2 and Fifa only to find 2 much better games on the market.

when a someone owns the second most amount of shares in a company (in this case 20%), they are basically the second most important voter on various things that company does etc..
They do own part of the company now, and there are rumors that they will try and buy them out completely.

basically with pro, you won't get Henry smashing it from a mile out and hitting it top corner 😛

i think pro's more realistic, like REAL football

They bought Konami. Retards, all of them!
Maybe if they bought UbiSoft...

As long as EA has the Sims they'll never stop. May not be a good game, but with so many always in the charts...

EA will go on for a longs while, look at how they are producing. The Sims 2, the Urbz... I think they have some good games out and the Sims 2 wasn't bad as far as read time simulation goes (except no Guitars dumbasses). Anyways the sports are fun NHL 2006 and such will be coming. Without the real NHL I think they may lose a lot of buyers.

EA GAMES WILL LIVE 4EVA

OK about Pro Evo, anyone who thinks Fifa is better hasn't played a game of football.

Also, for some bizarre reason, Pro Evo 4's players look more like the real players than Fifa 2005 does. What's the point in having the license when a non-licensed game does a better job at having official likenesses? It makes Fifa look absolutely redundant.

Fifa used to be king back in the day. It stopped being the king at around Fifa 99. When Pro Evo 1 came out, it made Fifa look like a load of rubbish.

Put it this way, Henry himself said he and his mates play Pro Evo "It's the most like real football". Also, John Terry and Frank Lampard have also expressed how Pro Evo is miles haead of Fifa to every degree.

The only people who play Fifa are the ones that simply don't understand what football is about. It's not about having the official sponsor on your team's shirt - it's about the game itself.

The only reasons people play Fifa is because a) They don't know about Pro Evo, b) are so stupid to think that "official" = better and or c) They played Pro Evo, got their asses handed to them by better AI, and decided they'd prefer to go back to their 10-0 wins and half-line goals in Fifa.

Basically, Fifa is for the footy newbs. Pro Evo is where the real action is.

EA games is aiight.... I only care about command and conquer and battlefield..

IMHO, EA needs to stick to sports titles and leave the FPS's to Rare, and the RPG's to whoever else made them before EA started. Squaresoft, companies like that. Nightfire and Rogue Agent weren't as good as I thought they would be and that other Bond game, the non-1st person one, what was that called? Whatever it was it sucked, and EA needs to stop with the FPS's before it gets hurt.

Rare have only 2 FPS's in thier history (I think). Rare has lost its lustre. The amount of money Microsoft bought for Rare is ridiculous since they havn't released one game.
EA's other franchies like Battlefield and Medal Of Honour are good games and great franchises
I actually really enjoyed the 3rd Person Bond game. It felt like being Bond.

EA isn't going anywhere for a long long time. They have the medal of honor series, Madden, NBA Live, Command and Conquer, Battlefield series.

They are probably the biggest game company at the moment.

actually they did release a game.. i think it was grabbed by the goulies or something like that..heard it sucked bad.
And of course there is still no word on the ex-gamecube launch title now for xbox game Kameo. its been over 2 years rare..where is it?

Rare are sucking nowadays. I can see why Nintedno let em'go.

Grabbed By The Ghoulies was crap and despite Conkers Bad Fur Day probably gonna excel as a game, it's just a N64 remake, and when you think about it, it's been in development WAY too long.

But if history has showed us that Rare if developing for long periods do put out works of art. So I wouldn't count them out. But for the amount of money Micrsoft paid for them, they should be atleat putting out something.
