The Dynasty Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi guys. The World Cup craze is causing me to want to get a soccer video game. When it comes to games, though, as is the fact with MVP, I want a very realistic representation of the game of soccer. What do you guys suggest. I was thinking: Fifa 06 Winning 11 Anything else? Should I get it for PC or for my XBox. The only reason I'd get it for PC is if the games can be modded and do the mods make the game that much better. Let me know. Thanks. The Dynasty.

aaronuconn Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Fifa 06. Im in the same predicerment as you Dynasty. I have a xbox but im starting to play more PC games cause of the great mods out their. Just bought Call of Duty 2 for $10 off ebay!!! And I found a great Mod site for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I figured, my fellow Connecticutan (I don't even know what the hell that means, heh). I was think Fifa for PC just because I saw some mods for it over here: http://www.gamingaccess.com/index.php?game...any=EA%20Sports After playing the demo, I know I wanted a soccer game, but I wasn't too impressed with the graphics. Then I remembered that demos are always watered down. So I'm really considering buying Fifa today. I'll let you know, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks, their isnt too many mod sites for Fifa 06 I guess. Just patches and ect...I think im going to start playing more PC games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I just picked up FIFA World Cup 2006 (not to be confused with FIFA 06). Both games are made by EA Sports, however, the World Cup version was made specially to commemorate this year's World Cup. It has all 125 teams that tried to qualify for the World Cup. After trying the demo and getting some firsthand reviews, I picked up the game. The PC version is on a DVD-ROM, and since I didn't have a DVD-ROM drive, I also ordered a CD-R/W / DVD-ROM drive for $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Wow. Liked it so much you had to get the drive eh? I have FIFA World Cup 06 and it's a great game. I'm not a big fan of soccer and the MLS, but something about the World Cup I just love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonj92 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Fifa 06. Im in the same predicerment as you Dynasty. I have a xbox but im starting to play more PC games cause of the great mods out their. Just bought Call of Duty 2 for $10 off ebay!!! And I found a great Mod site for that game. $10,eh. Was that with or without shipping? Because usually they sell the games for like 10 bucks and have 15 bucks shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkFloyd2003 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I guess I'm the only one who preferred Winning Eleven! I actually bought it on ebay as Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (the European version of the same game) since it came out months ago. I think it's a much more realistic soccer depiction than fifa, which I wasn't too impressed with. Provided you're not disappointed with a few missing teams, I think Winning Eleven for the PC is the way to go. I found a World Cup Patch for it as well which adds all the teams that qualified for the World Cup that weren't originally in the game (Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, etc.), adds most of the missing players to the rosters, adds the German stadiums, and adds the World Cup uniforms. I found that with the graphics up all the way on both Fifa and W11, W11 not only looked better but played much smoother as well. Just my two cents... ok more like $1.50 but you get the point.

Applejak Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Get Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven). FIFA is prettier, but for the game PES is years ahead. The only difference is a couple of licensing issues, but as you are on this site, I dont expect that to be a dealbreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyCool Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 whats a good site for mods fot fifa06? Soccer Gaming Downloads They have a lot of mods for a ton of soccer games including most (if not all) of the FIFA games from EA Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storcka9 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I am trying to decide which soccer game to buy, Fifa World Cup or Fifa 06, and I was wondering whoch one is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well: Just like UR and Swingin' Soriano's rosters, it really comes down to one thing: Do you want Club teams/does having club teams matter to you? If yes, FIFA 06 If no, World Cup Germany 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I just bought FIFA World Cup 06, and I love it. I preferred to have a million different countries than the million different club teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
