GameCube - Which football game to get?

RossCo (Competent) posted this on Friday, 22nd August 2003, 13:56

I`ve got a cube and did have ISS for it but sold it as it wasn`t great. What footy game should I get to replace it - Fifa 2004 (when it comes out) or Winning Eleven and all the extras - with its foreign menus ??

What you reckon ?

You may also want to check out Disney Soccer, which is suprisingly good. Based on the same engine as WE apparantly, and can be bought for around a tenner.

Disney soccers a bit duff its based on the ISS engine which is done by a different branch of Konami...not as good as WE its more arcadey

i think u need some kind of X Port and Freeloader obviously if u get a japanese WE6 FE...u can then download some option file saves to get English player names and converted kits and flags...i dont know if it does the menus etc because the ps2 versions need patches to actually edit the file structures...

could be expensive affair getting all u need for WE6 though...

ISS wasn`t great eh?... I must be the only person who loves the cube version of that game. I didn`t like it at first either, because the control and `feel` was different from the N64 versions, but over time I`ve actually grown to prefer it and think it`s one of the best football games I`ve played. It just never gets old because almost every conceivable type of approach is possible (passing it around, hoofing it up, crossing it in), and you can do it however you like. The N64 version was basically all out attacking from both teams and Fifa really is a bag of ham-fisted cheesy balls (strictly for cheese dicks, as mentioned earlier). Seriously though, Fifa plays horribly!, It`s so desperate to be cool hip and groovy that someone completely forgot that we only play football on EARTH, and so took a liberal attitude with physics and gravity etc... It`s all very well having great replays and character-specific celebrations, but that sort of attention to detail doesn`t really matter if the ball moves like a shuttle-cock...

Granted, this post doesn`t help you much, but where else could I say this stuff round here?!... I`d say get Winning Eleven though, as it`s got a great reputation and it must be better than Fifa...
