I personally don't like the EA FIFA Franchise it doesn't really capture the spirit of Football. Pro Evolution Soccer on the other hand does the sport justice.
I will buy Pro Evo Soccer to satisfy my Virtual Football needs.

FIFA sucks. It's a truckload of old bad routines with a new number (2006) slapped on. Worthless pieces of software. EA should be ashamed of themselves for producing bad version after bad version. Easy money huh? I take Konami's PES4 anytime, THEY at least know how to get it right. A supreme soccer game in all aspects.
I agree, waiting for PES5.

It's too bad that EA has the general sports gaming population snowed into thinking EA sports is 'where it is'. It's amazing how many people will flock to a game because it's on TV, and even more assume that a name associated with it (Madden, for instance) makes it pure gold.
I agree, waiting for PES5.
Even the PSP version is pretty good, I've heard.

better hope EA doesn't buy exclusive rights to the game of Soccer like they have with US Football.
Does that mean no other Game Company can create an NFL Game ?
Or does that mean that if a Game is created then they can not use the real player names ?

I think they can't make an NFL game at all. They can presumably make an American Football game (I don't imagine the rules are "owned" by anyone) and call it NFA (National Football Association) and use nearly real names (sorry, can't name any American Footballers to give an example, but footballer (real football) Steven Gerrard would become Steve Gerald or something like that).
It's sucky, but if the game is a hit like PES, 3rd party patches will come out. There is a PES4 patch out that uses the superb FM2005 data to create real teams/players, for exaple.

Really... Why do people bash Fifa06 for being made by a certain company? How many of you have already played the 2006 version? I guess its kinda cool liking the underdog..
I have played FIFA for the last 12 years and since FIFA 95 the series has went totally down hill. Also if you look at sales in the last 2 years then EA's FIFA is the underdog.
