    FIFA Soccer 11, Pro Evolution Soccer 11 first details

    Both EA and Konami have revealed details regarding the next FIFA, called FIFA Soccer 10 in the U.S., and Pro Evolution Soccer, called Pro Evolution Soccer 11, games, respectively. The first detail: they exist. There was approximately a zero percent chance that EA and Konami wouldn't continue with the franchises, but you and I know that big corporations make terrible decisions all the time. EA's big new feature is called Personality+, and it aims to make each player in the game as much like the player in real life. That is, Messi should be able to waltz pass defenders in-game as he does for Barcelona week in, week out, while Michael Carrick should be able to complete one pass in 50 as he does for Manchester United. (Exaggerated for effect. folks, so calm down.)

    Spain’s David Villa: That second goal against Poland was something out of a video game

    Continuing with our (well, my) nearly non-stop World Cup coverage! Spain beat Poland yesterday 6-0 in Murcia. It was an awesome display, and an illustration of why Spain are the favorites to win the tournament. And yes, there is a tech connection~! That second goal, my word...

    Messi: You know you’re good when people compare you to a PlayStation!

    How do you know when you're a great athlete? Oh, I don't know, maybe when the top-tier manager of the opposing team calls you a PlayStation! Like, you're so good it's almost as if someone goes into Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer or EA Sports' FIFA, creates a player, than gives said player 12 out of 10 in all the key stats: speed, attack, technical skill, etc. Leo Messi is like a PlayStation.

  • Spy report: EA Sports’ FIFA World Cup 2010

    Spy report: EA Sports’ FIFA World Cup 2010

    Yes, it's about time that I write about FIFA World Cup 2010, which I played at some snazzy EA event about a week ago. Jimin and I played half a game—I was Côte d'Ivoire and Jimin was South Korea—and I totally bashed his brains in, 2-0 at half-time. After the EA guy asked me if I was more used to Pro Evolution Soccer-style controls, and I was, he's like, “Oh, then switch the control style to Style B.” Then Les Éléphants were running wild!

    Believe it or not, but FIFA 10 isn't the only soccer game around. In fact, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 just came out in Europe, and was the top selling game there last week. Not the top selling sports game, but the top selling game overall. Yeah, it's big.

    Congratulations, FIFA 10: You’re the fastest selling sports game of all time

    My fellow Americans! I just wanted to let you know that, yes, there are other countries in the world (WHAT?!), and none of them give a damn about the Madden franchise. EA just revealed that FIFA 10 (which I haven't played, but that's OK; I hear it's good) is the fastest selling sports game of all time! So says a fancy e-mail we just received. Olé-lé, olá-lá, ser del Barça és el millor que hi ha!

    Tokyo Game Show: Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer) 2010 trailer

    In its newest incarnation, Konami's best-selling soccer game Winning Eleven (known as Pro Evolution soccer outside Japan) is as great as ever. I played the Xbox360 version with a friend in two-player mode (but PS3 owners will get to play Winning Eleven 2010, too).

  • Pro Evolution Soccer 10 gets 360-degree control

    Pro Evolution Soccer 10 gets 360-degree control

    I like FIFA as much as the next guy, but, in my heart of hearts, I'm a PES guy. (I just finished a La Liga season with Barça about a week ago. Undefeated, normal mode. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.) So it's good to see thatKonami will introduce full 360-degree control in PES 10 . No more eight-way control, then.
