I'm Italian, I live in Italy, so I have to love football at all costs because it's such an overrated sport that it's polluted the entire Italian pop culture? I was thinking about it while I was at a chain store trying out the PS5 once again, and among the many games listed on the main screen (no Astro Bot, sorry...) there was only EA Sports FC 25 available to boot... I find myself in a dilemma where, even though I know there's so much interest in that series, I still wanted to try to understand why it's still so loved, only to then be piled up in the used bins as soon as a new annual edition comes out, going to suffocate other games that remain in the used bins and are waiting for a possible new owner. Quick assessment of the character models and animations: Skin as smooth as cuttlefish, expressions as stiffable idiots, movement like spasmodic monsters and the speed of a chronically tired person with constant whippings from behind, alternating aggression due to the game's excessive automation (it seems like a management game with few moments of interactivity). We've reached the point where replicating realism has made sports simulations even more predictably bland, which I was already criticizing more than 15 years ago, and the situation has even worsened, to the point that the beauty remains only in the annually updated players. I also have the bad feeling that the developers either don't want to or are inept at replicating certain realistic details, but mostly on the character models that seem to have the beauty filter to satisfy the carnal fantasies of the lobotomized flagphiles. When it comes to re-evaluating the latest Mario Strikers, which to call the biggest disappointment of the series would be an understatement, it means that we are at the fruit and are letting it rot and tweak it annually for minimum effort and maximum performance. Even today, I still enjoy listening to soccer video game soundtracks (especially International Superstar Soccer)...
