What a commercial juggernaut. It's unreal. I prefer PES because of better gameplay but FIFA is a decent game. And one hell of a commercial juggernaut.

I'd have to agree. On manual, I'm having the most fun with a soccer game in a long time. I'd give it a 9 and a few guys know how critical I am of the FiFA series.
