Year after year they say the game is new and improved. They advertise how realistic the players moves have become, but every time it's a big dissapointment. None of what they say is true, and basically they reinvent the same crappy game year after year. I saw another footballgame the other day that DID have realistic player moves, but i forgot the name of the creators.
But it sure wasn't EA.
For us Dutchies the game has been extra dissapointing, since our national footballassociation KNVB asked too much money for copyright and stuff, so EA simply ignored the Dutch league. The KNVB must have had a lot of critics, because the Dutch league made it's come back in FIFA 2004. That's about the only positive thing for me about the game. It still sucks though.
