Curious but are there any good soccer games out there for the PC? Been getting really into it w/ my son playing it and now with the World Cup. Gaming sites are blocked here at work, but curious if anyone knows of any good ones available.

There are 2 popular titles out there; FIFA by EA sports( 2010 FIFA world cup is the latest) , endorsed by FIFA. Second, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.

Both have their following but in recent times EA's title is the better one. Its more like Forza VS GT. My personal choice goes to FIFA.

My bad. Sorry. Its just FIFA 2010.

I would say FIFA 10 is the best soccer game out, but I haven't played it for the PC. I have it on console and it is a good soccer game. I wouldn't think keyboard / mouse would be a very intuitive way to play these types of games, but with a gamepad I see no problems.

Always makes me chuckle... FIFA and soccer in the same sentence.

Anyway, I have to agree that FIFA 2010 is the best Football game this time around.

While Fifa 2010 is better on the consoles, they still use the old-gen version for the PC (AKA ps2 version).
For the PC you pretty much only have Pro Evolution soccer 2010 (which is a good game btw).

If you're not looking to spend that much and don't care about accurate rosters, FIFA 08 is the last one of the EA ones I'd buy, otherwise PES 2010.

Thanks for the input from everyone. Taking a look at some footage of PES 2010 on youtube and it looks really nice. Downloading demos for PES 2010 and FIFA 2010, gonna try them both out.

FIFA 10 is total shit, its the same game they have had since FIFA 2007, PES10 is far more advanced you will see and better you will see. and if you buy PES10 make sure ti get this patch

It updates the game with authentic kits and player names and it adds the entire bundesliga to the game.

Took a quick peak at FIFA 2010 on gamespot while the demos were downloading last night, people definitely did not seem to like it.

Fifa Online is currently in beta:

There is also Football Manager 2010 if you're into the whole management coaching thing, otherwise PES 10 all the way.

PES 11 and FIFA 11 should be out in fall.

Fifa 10 is the better game in consoles , for PCs its PES 10

The engine EA used for the PC port of fifa is the same one that they've been using since '07 i believe so it doesnt look half as good as PES.

 

[smackababy]

I've never played either on the PC, but I know FIFA 10 is the best on consoles. I guess it is a good thing they have demos available so you can try them out.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Maybe he doesn't realize that the PC and console games are different, but the PC version of FIFA is still using the old graphics engine AFAIK.

Which one would be best for PC online multiplayer? Doesn't EA have a track record of ending online multiplayer access after a game has been out for two or three years?

They've done it for a couple games as far as I know. I find it hard to believe that people still play Madden 05 online though. I would guess that the servers getting the axe have a pretty small player base.

FIFA for the 3do.
