Not sure if delusionally arrogant or joke post.
Lol, we'd probably just attempt to buy up all the good players from other countries.

Not this fucking argument again.Be careful what you wish for. If America got serious about soccer they would just dominate like every other sport and the rest of the world would another reason to hate the USA.

This thread went from actual global NA numbers to people bickering about imaginary PS3/360 numbers.
Amazing.
Oh, what's wrong with it?Now fix the fucking PC port, EA.
Hopefully nobody bought the Vita versions.

:lol I saw someone doing just that at the midnight launch for it when I was picking up DOA5 that same time.
No worries though, its never going to happen. Interest will never increase to that level and the US will remain where they are in world rankings.
lol Hardly.
A considerable amount of people is having CTD problems when trying to play online.Oh, what's wrong with it?
FIFA 12 had a fantastic PC version.
yay for anecdotal evidence. who are those people and where are they? at least wait for pal charts to be posted to make such claims.
With growing interest, the USA will hopefully become more competitive in international competition and get a fighting chance, but domination is never going to happen, even if it became USA's #1 favourite sport.There is nothing inherently wrong with that US soccer post. Obviously if interest increases greatly and soccer grows from being viewed as a kids sport to one played at a higher rate in high school and rivals football/basketball/baseball in collegiate play. Just like what is seem with small countries with a great interest in basketball like Lithuania versus much larger countries with little interest. The effect would be drastically multiplied for a country the size of the US. Its all about interest, not a inherent ability to play soccer, basketball, football, cricket, or whatever else.

Frequent crashes to desktop are serious enough, so I'm sure EA'll patch that.A considerable amount of people is having CTD problems when trying to play online.
Nothing seems to fix it and apparently there's nothing support can do.
While 95% obviously is an exaggeration, it's no surprise that FIFA is a monster on PS3 in Europe. I run one of the largest game stores in my country, and PS3 usually have about 75% of the total FIFA sales. And going by first day sales it seems like it might be closer to 80-85% this year.
And which country is that...do share
To contrast, Madden 13 sold 900k on day one, 1.65m in the first week.

It's no competition, one has regional appeal, and one has global appeal.Yeah, but how much does it sell in the rest of the world?
I'm certain the PS3 version sells more than 360 in every region looking at the concurrent user numbers online in the game.
Right now, PS3 is triple 360's number as it is Europe's peak hours.
and rivals football/basketball/baseball in collegiate play.
Compare FIFA 13 WW numbers to Madden 13 WW numbers, and it becomes a joke lol
Kind of sad if you compare worldwide sales of FIFA to Madden, tho.
Yeah, but how much does it sell in the rest of the world?
Yeah, a bunch of people took that the wrong way. There have been some heated arguments over football vs American football on GAF, so that's probably where the defensiveness comes from. Unnecessary, though.Again, I wasn't trying to imply anything like "LOL MADDEN SOLD 3X BETTER LOL". I wan't trying to say Madden is a better game or anything. I was just posting some numbers plain and simple.
Posting the Madden numbers is totally valid to put things into perspective for the US market (which, after all, this thread is about).

Lol no. If there is one thing americans will be perma bad at its real football. With exception to dempsey and bradley, american soccer looks like a bunch of guys kicking a ball around.
Really? Can you imagine Lebron growing up a central defender?

Pretty sure America only dominates in American sports.
Note ... that there is no comments regarding the Vita version. You get what you put out ..

I don't think people realize how much money effort time talent etc. is spent on American sports whether it's football basketball baseball whatever. The reason American soccer teams don't beat other countries is because young talent here aren't interested in getting into soccer they go into all the other sports football basketball etc.
If soccer was a main sport all of that money effort and time we spend on football baseball etc. would be put into soccer. It's not unreasonable to assume we'd dominate it if the US population started to genuinely care about it the way they do American football or basketball.
I don't really care I think the money put into sports is ridiculous and should be stopped but it's not crazy to think the US would become a beast at it if our sports resources were spent on it from the ground up middle school high school etc. If the same scholarship incentives, the same fame and fortune were applied to soccer instead of the others.

I haven't found any reviews for this online... does it at least include the physics engine on the PS360 versions?
Somewhere, Konami is crying.

As someone from Brazil, a country that invests close to nothing in soccer (or any sport, really), I find this post amusing.
