But EA has deep pockets and paid for the authentic team and name rights for just about every major league and competition. For a few years I thought it couldn’t get any better.
Pro Evo really set the bar pretty high for accurate gameplay. Then I learned about Konami’s Pro Evolution and several other minor (and brief) competitors. At first simply because it was the only game available at the local game store. Over the years, EA’s FIFA series has been my favorite. So when I get the itch, soccer games on PC or console have been a great distraction. Now in mid-life, I have been relegated from being a player to the sidelines either photographing or coaching whenever I can. I have MLS, National Team, Futsal, beach soccer, and old Major Indoor Soccer League games. I still have a large library of games on VHS and DVD including USA’s only win over Brazil. I played for a good part of my life and have watched it religiously.
