After I read the OP, I was like, "eh, he probably took that rant from AVGN or something."

I was extremely satisfied to have discovered that I was right.

To anyone that says Fifas are just reskins, you know nothing. Go play the last 10 and fucking tell me they are the same, the difference from 10 onwards is especially large as that was when the player impact engine came into play, and 12 completely demolished the old movement system, 13 expanded on everything, 14 finally made everything far more fluid and natural, adding an unpredictability and greater freedom to improvise, and 15 has introduced emotion, made goalkeeping actually like goalkeeping and improved ball movement and physics no end.

I really don't have the will nor the time to list all the changes.
Bullshit you don't have the time. You're avoiding the question because you were blowing smoke out of your ass. If you really don't have the time to list them then why bother saying you could list as many changes from sports game year after year?
Quote
But to your second post, Thats like saying COD and Battlefield are the same because they are both war shooting games.
They're both shooters but each one is still different from one another. CoD is more small time soldier based while Battlefield is large scale vehicle base. CoD has things like kill streaks which Battlefield doesn't. With sports games they are going to play the same since they are based off of the same exact thing. Basket Ball game A is going to be playing exactly alike Basket Ball game B simply because they are both based off of basketball. They're not like CoD and Battlefield which are both shooters, but they're not based off of something which they are sticking to.
Quote
If you play FIFA and then play PES, and you don't notice a difference, you need your eyes checked.

So then can you list these major difference or are you just going to be avoiding the question like your changes from game to game thing?

You're right. I did tthis as a joke thread to reference that. I wasn't expecting this to have any serous discussion to it.

To anyone that says Fifas are just reskins, you know nothing. Go play the last 10 and fucking tell me they are the same, the difference from 10 onwards is especially large as that was when the player impact engine came into play, and 12 completely demolished the old movement system, 13 expanded on everything, 14 finally made everything far more fluid and natural, adding an unpredictability and greater freedom to improvise, and 15 has introduced emotion, made goalkeeping actually like goalkeeping and improved ball movement and physics no end.

Paying $65 for improved goalkeeping...

Damn, that's some innovative shit right there.

So basically you're saying a graphics change and a slight engine update justifies the $65 every year and that somehow prevents it from being reskins? How exactly does changing the movements to look more realistic and making goalkeeping look more like goalkeeping prevent this game from being a reskin of the previous game which is a reskin of the previous game? You're still doing the same old shit you were doing in the previous game. You're running across the same old field kicking a ball to one of the ends. Changing the engine isn't going to change that. Your Fifa game isn't like Halo where the story changes, we get new maps which play differently and new vehicles that act differently. You're playing a sports game where the only change is to the engine, the graphics, the players and the number in the title.

How about instead of relying on people to post for you you actually back up your statements? If you have the time to post multiple times on a forum site then I think you have the time to make a post at max that takes 5 minutes. For your thing about NBA2k playing differently than NBA Live. What about them makes them play differently from each other? That's another question you avoided.

Also you're backing up a post that's bascilly saying paying $65 a year for these games is justified because the engine gets slightly changed in each game which is the only change he listed in his post.

I'm not avoiding anything. I just don't care enough to respond, I've had these conversations before.

You think $65 for a sports game isn't worth it, thats cool. However, thats subjective and by the looks of XBL numbers, MANY people disagree with you. Sports games are consistently some of the top played games every year.

So, because it's players and teams instead of guns and maps it's not worth it? And on story, you make your own story, sport is the story of real people-you make your own moments that are truly invaluable and unique and it's that which is of greater value than any fabrication, no matter it's quality.

And like I said, you go play the Fifa games from the early 2000s to now, there is far more evolution than there has been in the FPS genre for one. You are judging yearly instalments vs tri-yearly instalments. So how about thinking Fifa 12-Fifa 15, or 07 to 10-because to say they are reskins is just ignorance

*£50
And i'd rather pay that for a game i'll pour hundreds of hours into, a game that will be good to me over and over in many situations vs a game that will last me maybe 10 hours, or 100 hours if i'm desperate (*cough*BF4*cough*)

That's not my point.
Fifa is the same shit year in year out, but with slight engine changes and a shiny lick of paint every year.
All of which can be done through patches instead of charging £50 a year in typical EA fashion.

Nobody is forcing you to buy fifa, if you don't think £50 is worth it then don't buy fifa, simple. Meanwhile I think it is worth it

Aaaannnnd that's why the industry is like it is.
People like you lap up the newest reskin of a franchise every year.

If people were clever enough to stop buying copy/paste rehashes every year, then we'd get something new and different enough to warrant a £50 price tag.

That doesn't cancel out buying Fifa every year.
EA don't give a fuck if you buy other games. They only care that you line their pockets with cash. You buying Fifa every year just tells EA that they can continue to sell the same game every year.

And before you go "hurr AC", I've already made a big list of how AC is anything but a rehash each year.
