Transfers
Ordered FIFA 06 and it should come on monday, i have played the demo and it looks great much better than FIFA 05 which i found poor.However i have read that the transfers will only be updated to August 24th will real madrid have robinho and baptista? when were they bought? this means that real madrid will have mostly the same team as last year if these two aren't in it and Sergio Ramos definately won't be. This worries me.

Demo is very intriguing
The demo is very good with a few little bugs that EA are aware of and will work on before its release on 30th Sept. Why do Pro Evo Fanboy's post on here and rubbish FIFA when im sure they havent even played it? infact they are hypocrites this year as I think this years PES is very bad! Same crap as last year, more annoying fouls for stupid tackles like little nudges and foot ins!! Did someone forget to tell Konami that Football is a contact sport?? Anyway back to FIFA, the graphics are similar to 05 which in a way isnt a bad thing, the player animations in my opinion are better than last year, Shooting system is far improved and you can score some very worthwhile goals this year. Team Chemistry makes a difference too in the gameplay.Overall I think its the best FIFA ive played for sometime. Cant wait for Friday.

good but diffrent
this game in the future is going to get quite a few comparisons to PES but there is good reason for thisthe graphics style is similar to that of PES but it has kept a balance making it still bettergameplay has been vastly improved so that running straight through the defence is no longer possible attacks must be well thought out and plannedthe carrer mode is allso improved with managers haveing to take on more tasks such as contratct renewels and scoutin.the international squad selections has had one major upgrade you can no pick any english player to play for queen and country rather than just those on the bench(like in previouse fifa games)all this + a better soundtrack and the lisenceing means that pro evo has a long way to go before it will ever be as good as this

Fifa 06 PS2 Game
Great communication with the seller, advised that I needed the game straight away and had it 2 days later. Would def but from this seller again,very fair price also. Only problem was I ordered the wrong game in errror, I found out later on that it should have been the pro evolution game instead but this was an error on my part not the seller. Thanks again for the great service.
