After 8 games on all pro, a brief trial of the skills trainer and an online game , here are my initial impressions of the game.
Graphics .
A much better effort coming out of EA Tiburon this year. New player models look great. Tom Brady looks like a lanky skinny kid rather than a linebacker, lighting in the stadiums is markedly better. I played a game at Heinz Field in the afternoon ,as weather changed and the afternoon progressed the skybox changed different shades of colour and ... Read More

We visit this site because we all have one thing in common, the love of sports. We throw our heart and soul into supporting our favourite teams week after week. We fork out sometimes hundreds of dollars in team merchandise to show our allegence to our team of choice. Most of us eat, sleep ,and breath sports. I can't speak for anyone else but If I had a choice to meet an athlete or a movie star, I would pick an athlete 9 times out of 10. There was a FIFA game a while back ,I believe that ... Read More

Well, after playing with the features and functionality of the app I must admit, it's actually pretty cool.

I plan on installing battlefield later. If they release games regularly to their back catalogue it's value can only increase! Once titles like need for speed rivals and nba get to the vault I will be happy. The main reason ... Read More

A little bit about me. I'm a married, father of two great kids and am an absolute sports junkie.(mostly the NFL,NBA and FIFA) I'm from a country called New Zealand (the place where lord of the Rings was made) but currently live at the bottom East corner of Australia. I have been an Nfl and Nba fan since I was 8 years old (24 years ago lol). If i'm not watching Nfl or the NBA I'm playing it on my Xbox. Much to the dismay of my wife who for some reason hates sports. Go figure!.
I ... Read More

The Problem with FIFA online

I like FIFA games, they are not NFL or NBA fun levels but for the online play and stability internationally, it by far performs the best. I'm by no means good, in fact The highest level I have made any year is only a 5.
Which brings me to my point, the one thing that ruins the gameplay experience for me is when players, pull their connection at the end of a game so that if they are losing it doesn't register as a loss. As an example, the last 3 games that I have played I have been winning ... Read More
