    Like the title said, what are the differences here? Fifa 10, the worst soccer game ever played. But when I was going through gamespot, consoles got 9.0 and thats an excellent score. So, what are the differences in these that made score differences like heaven and hell?

    Where did you find the 3.8 for PC. That's the User Score and not the Gamespot score although sometimes they are very close. If you looked at the users though, they are all very disappointed. Of course some of them might be PES fan boys. I played it on XBOX and PS3 and it was alright but the graphics compared to PC PES2009 are very bad. Generally the reputation of FIFA games on PC is really awful cause of the bad port transmission from the console to PC

    The console graphics are Next-Gen,The PC graphics are really outdated... That's the main difference... EA keep saying they don't wanna upgrade the PC version graphics because then the game won't be playable in the majority of Pc's Worldwide...

    nklive, FIFA for PC isn't a port from consoles, i wish it was... It's a totally different game based on an ancient engine...

    I think the main problem isn't about graphic, there are many ppl complains about there's little improvement in gameplay and bad control

    Main reason is the PC version is using a much older engine than the console versions, the graphics are far worse, more like from the previous console generation. EASports couldn't care less about the PC. :mad:

    I'm thinking of buying it for a comeback to FIFA series (have switched from FIFA series to PES 09 due to more realistic gameplay), but may be this year I'll just stick with PES 10

    Fifa 10 is the worst soccer game I ever have played on PC!

    Fifa 05 is the best soccer game EVER (on consoles).

    But on PC - I will stick to PES.

    Instead of giving bad user experience, EA can just shut down the PC FIFA.

    ...and the Wii FIFA (luckily my FIFA 09 was included in a bundle and it's OK). FIFA 10 on the Wii is a joke.

    FIFA should be strictly console, like NBA, Madden, NHL, etc.

    Why should it not be on the PC? I would find playing a sports game more fun on a TV than on a desk, but more and more PCs are being connected to TVs and some may want to play them on a desk as well.

    What about the ability to play these games on notebooks and their portability which consoles cannot do? What's why I'd like all these games to come to the PC, for the flexibility the PC platform as a whole offers.

    I am happy with PES but the concern is only with FIFA. They are really backing out on FIFA. FIFA 10 graphics is really awful and I dont see a reason to spend money to get this game. Im wondering about the RTW series.

    PES is awesome!!! The demo runs great on a 9600m and looks as good as FIFA 10.
