I don't think fifa is that bad :p
I prefer it to PES. On PES I find it far too easy on the 3 star difficulty but then when I play on 4 star difficulty it's still easy to defend but I just can't score lol, I went through the league season conceding only 3 goals but I wasn't top :P, the good thing was...when I did score it felt special lol.
With FIFA I find playing on world class mode is perfect for me, I can score but I concede too.
What annoys me is how they release it every year and it doesn't change much at all, it would be good if they released it say...every 2/3 years and just released a half-price update which changes player names and kits etc. I suppose that wouldn't make them as much money lol. Pro Evo are starting to do the same, I haven't noticed much change in their games.
I really like the FIFA soundtracks, they usually pick some good bands imo, i think Kasabian were on Fifa 2003 a couple of years before they got big in the UK.
(sorry for mentioning pes, dont want to start a war lol...i think they're both sweet games..)
