FCUK EA

Gamespot had an article on Fifa 2004 and it's new features. Of those new
features - they included online play! However, this will only be available
on PC and PS2. What the hell? Are EA in bed with Sony? Are the a bunch of
M$phobics? With XSN coming up you'd expect someone to create an online
sports game for the European market...

Goto Google.
Type EA and Xbox Live in the search box.
Read up on the whole ****ing shebang.

Seriously, the topic of EA and Live has been done to death.

EA don't like Live because they don't get to control the cash flow and the
power is in Microsoft's hands. EA would prefer to have their own internet
service like they have with the PC and Playstation. The gamecube versions
gets linkage with the gameboy advance as Nintendo don't give a **** about
online gaming. "XSN" which I haven't kept up with is probably going to be
primarily Sega sports titles and I am guessing that Microsoft will start
publishing some sports titles for it as well.

EA don't like the stranglehold which the XL system gives MS.

EA can suck it. Links 2004 and the other XSN titles are where it's at. The
ability to have your own leagues and tournaments online with your friends...
can't wait!
