EA Announces FIFA 07 – First Screens and Info
Publisher copies and pastes 06 release, adds new adjectives.
The new domestic football season is almost upon us and whilst all the team at SPOnG eagerly await the latest news on the next iteration of Konami’s incredible Pro Evolution Soccer series, we are also contractually obliged to bring you the news on that other football game.
Yes, it’s FIFA again, the game that’s nowhere near as good as Pro Evo (this is scientific fact, we have carried out surveys) yet sells well amongst casual gamers and football fans due to EA’s blanket marketing coverage and canny licensing.
And whilst we steadfastly refuse to advise anybody to buy FIFA, the reality is that at least one or more of our friends and/or family will be tricked by clever marketing/licensing into buying this game at some point in the next few months, and - even worse - they will challenge us to a game.
As our Andrew so perceptively put it, when the FIFA news came up our pipe earlier: “This is akin to playing Sticky Belly Cock Flap with your nephews while your mum and sisters record it for posterity.”
Anyways, here are some pictures of the new FIFA 07: it’s got better AI, better ball spin and control, a better manager mode and (least boringly) better connectivity between the PSP and PS2 versions.
It’s out on PS2, Xbox and PSP next month. Don’t bother buying it, as the new Pro Evo will be out shortly after.

I like the sound of Sticky Belly Cock Flap. What is it?

Sticky Belly Cock Flap - I think it's something like what you'd do with those little men with sticky balls on their feet: you throw them at the wall and see how long they stick there. Kinda like that only the little man is your little man and the wall is your stomach. Usually attempted while standing - knees slightly bent - stark naked and thrusting ones hips for best 'flappin' motion.
Videoing it for the (discomfort surely) pleasure of subsequent generations, however, is not generally recommended

Yr close. It's a summer pastime where the male members (tee-hee) of the family get naked in the garden, put a blob o' something sweet'n'sticky in their navels, and lay in wait on their backs for a flying creature or insect of some sort to start sniffing around. Then, BAM! The latter part of yr explanation is pretty much spot on, save the standing up bit. Might have to try that position before the summer's out, just as long as no-one's filming
