Hehe I can live with Rugby, it's great! Good to watch with a beer in your hand while standing in a pub. The same for soccer though. Looking forward to the upcoming Euro2008. Probably 3 lost games, but what the heck, at least we tried..

Ha, my representation comes in the shape of Poland and Italy because my grandparents on my dad's side were from either, so I can have pride in that, to all intents and purposes, one of my countries won the last World Cup!

Oh don't get me wrong, I love rugby too (I'm definitely physically suited to it more than footy) but I just love football much more. Nothing I like more than to be playing the real thing...stuff like FIFA is ok (FIFA before Pro Evo thankyou very much!) but you can't beat playing it for real

Still can't download off RS

Pro Evo man...played FIFA for years until that dramatic version called 2005. Tried it again with 2007 and 2008, but Evo is just perfect. Real football is the perfection, I agree with ya. Some of the best things for a man in live: a bal at your feet, friends and family along with you and against you at some beautiful grassy field, with goals made from shirts and jackets.

Poland has Beenhakker as coach (my patriotism again, lol), so they have a chance of winning it..(just kidding). Italy is a dangerous competitor though, one of our opponents.

You paint a beautiful picture. However, I'm shocked at your Pro Evo status...

I've been FIFA all the way through, can't stand Pro Evo at all lol. I mean, I don't see how they can substantiate claims regarding its realism, they're both fucking computer games lol and neither are any better than the other with regard to how they play in my opinion lol, which means the authenticity of FIFA is what sways it for me and the fact it's got clubs OTHER THAN the top leagues lol. They were different originally, but they're now both at a point where they're as good as each other and at that, very very good. However, like we seem to agree...

...I'd rather play for real

Originally posted by MWSAH[..]

Indeed we agree on that!


But....Pro Evo has better controls/motions/feel etc. It lacks authenticity, I know, but I'm willing to accept that. These NON-top leagues are great though with FIFA, and that option to play as one individual player looks good too.

Yeah it is, but I don't find that about Pro Evo (control/motion etc.), I find them the same - perhaps I'm too cynical. Considering the controls have the same principles, the motions only differ in how players run (to me anyway, and on both accounts they look ridiculous lol) and I can't gauge any "feel" as it were. I'm not meaning to sound like I'm having a go at you, this is just what I say when people go on about one game being better than the other lol. Yes I play FIFA, but it gets dull even for me lol.

Originally posted by MWSAH[..]

Yeah, compared to real football it definitely sucks. But I was reffering to gameplay when I mentioned 'feel'. Ah well, they're both relaxing...that's what games are for! Just like music..

Originally posted by WojBhoy[..]

Ah yeah I get you - but even then, general gameplay, to me there's no difference lol because the object of the game is always the same lol, well, it's how I see it lol.

Music over computers any day

Amen to that..what's life without the fine notes called music? We all couldn't live without it..

Although I'd miss U2Start...(edit: almost reached page 500 of this topic..let's breach that last line of defence!)

I just realised I've surpassed 500 posts! Casper, you're witnessing history in the making!

PS - to quote ABBA, "thankyou for the music...who can live without it?"

EDIT - yeah I am lol, I just got sidetracked on www.u2-vertigo-tour.com lol, amazing site...almost as good as U2start.com
