And, if a game is so good it actually educates you on the nuances of a game you have never played, how is that ever a bad thing?

( must have got hit by the air ya?)

lol....




What I am saying is it happens in almost every sport.

It does happen in every sport, yes, just, it is that soccer is the worst of all for it, and you know that is true. As far as the NBA, flopping did not really start to be popular until the Euros started coming into the league.

If you want to get a lot of scoring why not play it on the easiest level. Can easily score double digit goals then without breaking a sweat. Rather make the game more realistic than arcade to attract more gamers. Apparently he hasn't paid attention to Madden this year. Last couple of years people want it to be more realistic and they never improve it to what people want and their sales are dropping. FIFA has done basically the opposite (EA doing something right, that is just crazy) but they are getting it more realistic and try to improve every year on the little things since 98 which was the turning point for FIFA.

Mate don't give me that ****e flopping has been in the NBA long before we even heard of basketball. Reggie Miller ring a bell? I have witnessed many kickers in the NFL fake like they got hit for a flag scobee being one of them.

Water down the gameplay so that its more palatable to the mainstream gamer in America? As a sports gaming community, I'm not understanding why we would want this to happen, ever.

Really now. That's almost laughable.

As for the rest of your post, why don't you watch the defensive line next time you watch a Lions game. Watch the kickers. It happens in every sport, and the hypocrisy is just ridiculous.

You probably think it's the worst in soccer because
A) You've been told so.

or

B) Players fall a lot in soccer. You try running full speed, and having someone step on the back of your foot, or take your legs out from under you.

Play FIFA Street or Pure Futbol instead.
