Why Fifa sucks!

I wont argue, Fifa 12 has at least decent gameplay and it does many things right. But besides annoyances like the crazy tranfers in career mode and some that i dont know about since i very much gave up playing the game this year (been playing it since 1998!) there are 3 issues that are bothering me the most. The first is the lack of original stadiums, only the biggest clubs have thier real ground in the game. for me its just not fun to play career mode with a team in a generic stadium. it will continue to bother me every single homegame completely destryoing every kind of authentic atmosphere.

the second thing is the lack of original playerfaces, there are just way too few overall. In bigger leagues some top teams have a decent amount of real faces, which in fact are looking very close to real life in most cases, but below that tier there is nothing, i say nothing at all. It is 2012 afterall and for me thats totally unexceptable.

the last thing is the lack of presentation, this is partially due to lack of licences, with no original adbords and overlays the different competitions just dont feel like they do on TV. Especially the lack of CL and EL licence is a real let down. If im playing career mode I want to feel some reward for a good season and qualifying for the european competitions. but then all you get is to play the champions cup with the athmosphere of an preseason friendly. its basically no difference between playing a cup final and and preseason friendly against a 3rd division team! then there is this complete lack of sideline characters, no bench with substitutes, players arent warming up, you dont see the coaches giving instrustions during the match and yes the spectators are as ugly as they have always been.

concluding i want to say, that ea should at least make the modding easier. most of those above mentioned issues can be solved by mods. but just installing them is a hassle. they should take 2ks mlb2k and nba2k as an example, all you gotta do is to copy and paste if you want to improve/mod your game.

I wont argue, Fifa 12 has a decent to great gameplay and it does many things right. But besides things like the crazy tranfers in carrier mode and some that i dont know about since i very much gave up playing this game since this year (been playing it since 1998!) there are 3 things that are bothering me the most. The first is the lack of original stadiums, only the biggest clubs got thier own real life ground. for me its just not fun to play carrier mode with a team which didnt get thier stadium done. it will keep bothering me every single match im at home, completely destryoing every kind of atmosphere.

the second thing is the lack of original cyberfaces, there are just way too few overall. in bigger leagues some top teams have a sufficient amount of real faces, which in fact are looking great in most cases, but below that there is nothing, i say nothing at all. we got 2012 afterall and for me thats totally unexceptable.

the last thing is the lack of presentation, i suppose this is partially due to lack of licences, but with no original adbords and overlays the different competitions just dont feel real. and espcially that they dont have the CL and EL licence is the next bummer. if im playing carrier mode I want some reward for a good season including qualification for the european competitions. but then i get to play the champions cup with no atmosphere at all. its basically no difference between playing a cup final and and preseason friendly against a 3rd division team! then there is this complete lack of sideline characters, no bench with substitutes, players arent warming up, you dont see the coaches giving instrustions during the match and yes the spectators are as ugly as they have always been.
