To those who think Fifa doesn't change, it does. Looking at metascores you'll see it has gone up year after year for the last three years. The way the game plays has also changed fundementally since they changed the development team. It has become much more realistic and unpredictable.

I used to hate fifa and prefer Pro Evo by some distance - that is also what most critics thaught. But ea has really turned fifa around while konami has been lax with pro evo.

... i'd agree though that the series stood still from about 99 to 06.
