See it works.
Those EA buzzwords.
LIVING WORLDS, PRECISION MOVEMENT!
As opposed to what?
Dead worlds and imprecise movement?

Would like to see some new videos with all of this in action, preferably cpu vs cpu, but I am sure that is a pipe dream.

The next gen game does look and play much smoother than the PC version, but to your point, I won't be able to do any of the graphical or database adjustments on the pc version so while it will play and look smoother it will still be plagued by AI issues that I am able to fix on the pc version. The only aspect that I absolutely loved and miss now when I play the pc version was the real time presentation. Removing cut scenes should be mandatory for any video game. It makes a HUGE difference to FIFA.

No what works is adding actual animations that are very important to the flow of the game. I don't care what they call it.

Dogslax41, was your comment on us getting the shaft on upgrading options referring to being able to trade in our current-gen title for the next-gen at a cheaper price?

I have noticed the lack of deals related to this in the U.S. and it makes little sense. To solve the issue I just decided to hold off on buying current-gen since I know I will be getting next-gen anyway. Still a problem.

Neither do I, console gaming is dead to me! Now put out a PC version of FIFA next-gen with all them fancy-buzzword features and additions and I might start to take notice.

Yeah speaking specifically about us not getting any deals on FIFA current gen trade in. I bought current gen thinking there was no way they would not extend the same deal Xbox users got, but obviously it looks like EA and Microsoft worked out a deal (I'm guessing some monetary coverage from Microsoft to reduce the goodwill cost) and Sony just wasn't willing to play ball.

And I think it's garbage they didn't give the pc version the next gen upgrades. There is no reason they didn't use the next gen code base for the pc. Either they were just too lazy to optimize it or its just a straight up cash grab.

I am wondering if Sony will catch up. It just seems ridiculous that there is no deal when other games are doing it. GameStop is attempting to throw in some deals, but I'm not sure if they are doing it for FIFA also.

I am a console only guy, but it really does not make sense to upgrade PC as well when it is clearly possible. I am wondering if there may be a surprise release sometime after it comes out on next-gen consoles. Perhaps to keep the focus on that. No telling.

There is a third option: plans to discontinue the PC version as they did with their football, golf and hockey franchises.
