FIFA football games are playable, but they're as buggy as hell.
take the new one, for instance, in my opinion the Off The Ball thing is utter shite, and pointless, and so is the first-touch thingy. Sometimes in can be handy, the rest of the time it's a load of bollocks.
My signature is never too big!!!

JP: Me too, it's a great game. But the thing here is, EA is an evil ravinous shadow beast. I don't know the specifics of BF1942, but I imagine it was nearing completion in some tiny development house, EA saw it was the next best thing, they bought out the company, fired half the staff and boxed it. I don't know if that's what's happened with this, but it's the kind of thing they've done over and over again. That's why I hate them.
I'm sure they have talented staff from all over the place, but the vast majority of them are probably being forced to produce X Football 200X rather than something worth playing.

At least they (probably) ripped a good publisher's name instead of a crap one.

I hate EA most of all... They RUINED Burnout 3 (which I was looking forward to all year)
Burnout 3 should have been the greatest thing ever... but EA ruined it with their ridiculous menu systems, loading times over 1 minute (ps2 version)unable to restart a race quickly
and the MUSIC!!!! AHHHHHH
the "EA TRAX"
Wanna see something funny? look at the back of an EA game box/manual and try to count how many things they have "copyrighted" and trademarked

Radix is right. It was a small company in Göteborg, Sweden, then EA came and enslaved them.

Hey the EA letters made it onto the G4TechTV's show "The Screen Savers," Kevin Rose actually defended EA until he found out that they got no overtime. EA released a statement saying basically that "shit happens."

I wasted £20 on fifa 2003 ive played it twice because its shite.
I liked EA games back in the day of the Mega drive.
Those weird cartdriges with the little yellow thing you can pull off. Um the games were sometimes good too because i loved fifa 97 on the mega drive and buck rogers, kings bounty, james pond 2 and 3. All EA games, games.

James Pond was never an EA game (not originally, at least, although they may have published the console versions).

James Pond 2 and 3 were EA games on the Mega Drive - but I don't think the first one was. James Pond 3 kicks ass!

Oops - my mistake - in fact all the James Pond titles were EA games - I just had a look now.
A surprising number of Mega Drive games were EA's. Stuff like Road Rash, PGA Golf not to mention the countless numbers of Fifa's, EA Hockey's and Madden NFL's. Along with Codemasters, they are present on nearly all of my mega drive games.

Yes they did, and a company called Millenium actually made the game. I wonder if they still do stuff - or have they been eaten up by the Uber-Publishers?

EA wasn't always evil, and they are pretty old (I don't know the exact date, but it was created sometime during the 80's).
