Xbox 360 Fanboy

good call the last patch was usless, i still cant play online not even with mates that live down the road !!! as well as that the edit options are a joke, im sick of the crap strips the olld ps2 versions were better by far. fifa's came on leaps & bounds & the new evos just fallen way down the pecking order

Yeah it does defy logic a bit!

@Deck: I was always a Pro Ev man, but haven't played a footie game for ages.

@Boff: Gotcha! Thanks for the information. I guess it isn't so bad after all. Rather popular. Thanks man!

The term soccer was coined in the UK a long time ago, before we invented America, to show the difference between association football (soccer) and rugby football (rugby).

In time, everyone has slipped back to using football for association football and rugby for rugby football, presumably because rugby players spend a lot of time throwing the thing around with their hands.

American football, being an offshoot of rugby (invented by US Colleges after someone's rich precious angel died on the pitch) is named after rugby football, and so shortened to football in it's native lands.

Factoid of the day: America are the undefeated Olympic champions of rugby.

Anyway, it's Pro Ev 6 for me. The current 360 version is prctically worthless, even with a half-arsed patch to mildly improve it. It seems to have gone backwards since Pro Ev 6, which is a real shame. Less features, more slowdown, horrifically jerky replays, etc etc.

"Of the 45 national FIFA affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, only three (Canada, Samoa and the United States) actually use "soccer" in their organizations' official names, while the rest use football (although the Samoan Federation actually uses both)." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football#Use_of_the_word_.22football.22_in_English-speaking_countries

Zoiks!

Hmm let's see - because you play FOOTBALL with your fucking FEET.

Explain to me how a game in which you hold/throw the ball the majority of the time is called Football.

To be honest Mike you are obivoulsy extremely delusion no, not everyone plays american football it is not a big sport in Europe and the rest of the world and never has there are no professional American football teams outside of the us/ Can but wait in the us they have there own FOOTBALL League in nearly every single europe,asian and african country there is Football so i'm not sure were your getting your stats from but no, no one likes a crap game which is a plan rip of Rugby and it's called football because it is played with the foot seems logical don't ya think Mike?

even if no1 likes the game worldwide, thats not an excuse. Its still an extremely popular game with hundreds of millions of fans. I myself dont even like football. The point it you cant name a popular sport the same as another. its CONFUSING. and creates a bunch of useless bickering, especially on the internet, like it is right here. I dont have a problem calling soccer "football", but only if they rename the sport of football then. Im not calling 2 fucking sports the same name. When I say to my friends, lets go play football, I want them to know what I mean. And here in canada where I live (and I assume america), we play both sports and have professional teams for both sports. Even other countries who may not have professional teams for both could still play either game for fun.

Naming 2 sports the same is just silly. So far the name "soccer" has been proposed and wildly used to describe this sport. I dont see anybody taking any steps into calling football a new name, other then forigners like from the UK who call it "american football" which is bullshit because football is played differently in canada and im sure other nations.
