MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM NBA LIVE TO FIFA SOCCER

3 . 1 . 09

I’ve finally extracted as much fun as I could possibly get from NBA Live 09 for Playstation 3. It’s been about four months since I bought it and I think the typical period of interest is about a month or two depending on how much you play. So it’s time for FIFA Soccer. I’m not a huge soccer fan, but I really enjoy the game. I wouldn’t say I’m not a soccer fan, in fact for the U.S. I probably am by most standards. I’m getting better, I’ve finally realized that you have to play these games every year for a certain period of time, or you won’t be good enough to play the most recent release. This has happened with Madden football. I don’t play it enough and thus every year I continue to suck. I don’t like the Madden games anyway because you always get someone who can through the long bomb with success every time no matter how many defenders you have on them. Basketball and soccer are more realistic.

I don’t play games that much anymore, usually it’s just a Saturday morning thing because my parents monopolize the TV. This also prevents me from playing the violent types of first person shooter etc. Actually I’m still trying to figure out if I don’t play those games because they don’t interest me or because of my parents. It doesn’t matter maybe someday I’ll figure it out.
