rip paul micheal, gone but never forgotten

FIFA 04-09 was a golden age imo. 2011-14 was another golden age. Great gameplay, game modes and soundtracks. 04, 07, 09 and 13 have some of the greatest fifa tunes of all time

Dude, Worlf Cup 98 deserved way more praise than it got here. You could play full 45 minute games, and you could play vintage world cup finals - it even had multiple graphical styles, with black/white for Uruguay-Argentina 1930, this lovely sepia sort of black and white for Hungary-Germany '54, and a warm technicolour for Italy-Brazil 1970. We should expect every yearly release to have special extras like that.

Absolutely loved PES in the PS2 and 3 era.

I remember playing 98-2001 with my school colleagues and spending hours editing teams, make them look like us. Then we made "Champions league" with school classes. From 2003-2007 the games were just amazing for us. FIFA 06 was a hit and those retro futures, classic team and for the first time added, Legendary playstyle was awesome. We couldn`t play online most of the times, only LAN, so we focus more on the offline content. From 07 we started to play online and that version of FIFA had by far the best gameplay we saw until then. I left FIFA when they added ultimate team. In my opinion they made a swift on how the game should be played and I did not like the fact that without spending big bucks, you will not be able to have a good time. That, but also the fact that most of my favorite players all ready retired and the football changed itself. To answer your question, from time to time I still like to play FIFA with my childhood friends and that`s why I buy the newest version of the game every time. I am sad that PES sold the rights because PES 2021 was really good. I think we just like the beautifulness of the game and FIFA it is not a bad choice at simulating this. It was nice to watch this video you made and have a good time watching those old screens. Good luck with your further projects!

Fifa 2002 WC edition was such a weird, but amazing experience. One of the very few times it felt like EA actually tried to make art.

Dude, amazing video! I really only expected a rundown of the games, but taking this angle and actually question EA's and our own behavior around the games was such a good twist and it came out very clearly and well-thought. Bravo!

The genesis of Ultimate Team was actually in the 360 version of UEFA Champions League 2006-07. I'd also say the first time Ultimate Team came with the game disc and wasn't a paid DLC, FIFA 11, was another massive moment. It exploded the player base of FUT overnight and was the true start of the MTX hell that the series has become. Great video, I just think those two games in particular are among the most important in the series for that reason.

My first soccer game I played was fifa 2001 as a kid. But in those days, Konami was miles ahead. PES2/3 is what i started off playing the most. Especially before the Internet, i would go to my friends houses & we would play PES. Everyone around had that game & we would practice alone before playing. What made it fun is playing with my friends older brothers etc. Those days are long gone when it comes to playing video games. Pes2-Pes6, some great years.

This is one of the best videos I've watched on this app good one bro ❤️

lesson learned from this video: some things never change

Somebody needed to do this. Congratulations Aries.

Fifa 2000 introduced historical teams which was really fun. The screen even went black and white or sepia.

Literally do not understand how this man will not be the greatest fifa/fc KZfaqr of the next generation at the very minimum

I remember FIFA 05 Manager mode having the ability to buy and sell players before 06 but the best part of that was you had to manage the overall budget of the club so you could spend 50mil on Messi or on increasing the seating capacity of your stadium or training facilities. Would love to see that kind of balance come back in (More than just Scouts and players)

John motson commentary brings back so much memories and playing as prime united and possibly prime Liverpool. And playing as Ronaldinho and other legends. Very nostalgic

The amount of effort put into making something like this is amazing

I remember one of the first FIFA's back on the mega drive, casually hacking down the goalkeeper with my strikers when I was 3-0 down as a 6/7 year old. After that I only played sporadically but the 2000 intro is one of the best intro's from my childhood/teenage years (along with BF1942) and has a special place in my heart.

This is gonna be a banger

Absolutely Loved this video man!!!! I played fifa from 03 to 07 then 13-16 then 19-23 😆! My fav ones so far (not in order) Fifa World Cup 2014 Fifa 13 Fifa 19 Fifa 23 So nostalgic seeing those main screens. Probably enjoyed 03 to 07 more just for nostalgic reasons, some great times

It's kinda crazy that the graphics from the latest fm games literally look like the 90's fifa games

Something just never changes

w video. you should make more like this🐐

I remember when you were still at 800 subscribers. Continue your hard work!

Nice vid bro some of the stuff u said was interesting and I never knew aha

great vid man

You forgot the UEFA Euro and Champions League games. Also UCL 06/07 was the actual first appearance of Ultimate Team. Otherwise interesting recap of the FIFA series.

Amazing video bro

Such a beautiful and detailed video

i still hold a soft spot for FIFA eventho i haven't played it in a few years. first fifa was WC 98 and played most from that to fifa 18. good old days

Underrated video

FIFA: Always made us rage, but will be missed. RIP 1993-2022

Great video

take a shot every time Ramman says, " Some things never change. "

Can we talk about the greatness of FIFA07 menus

Guys, I think what he's trying to say is that some things never change

How did you miss out the ICONIC use of blur - Song 2? The first commercially licensed song used in a FIFA franchise game? That was massive. FIFA(RTWC)98' was 98'

Weird, I always thought Fifa 98 (RTWC) was EVERYONES FIRST FIFA 😄 Especially since Blurs Song 2 was so iconic the re-released it on FIFA 23. Also FIFA 2001 was probably THE most influential one for me and my friends (Birth years 89/90)

Roberto Baggio being called Lon Barron in PES is still my favourite to this day. Even now I always call Baggio Lon Barron and never his real name.

Amazing video ❤😊

2:45 I am not joking when I say that the ball physics when passing in Fifa 97, are more believeable than what you'll find in the newest Fifa now.

Great job 👏

I absolutely loved fifa 97. I played indoor football mode all the time.

Something I enjoyed a lot in ultimate team were to beat a fully decked team, with just scraps of bronze-silver players, just by playing realistic non-arcadie football. That was a blast, and the cherry on top were all the salt delivered to my PS inbox.

Why nobody talking about that banger of a goal he made in FIFA 2001?

Its important to notice that some things never change

when they got rid of lounge mode it killed multiplayer with friends for me ,loving having a league table had like 5 friends who were really good it was so competitive

They better add a Paul micheal 99 rated in fc 25

Been playing since the first FIFA on the Megadrive. This was a nice trip down memory lane, great video 👏🏾

It crazy how konami ruined the pes Franchise

takes me back..have been playing fifa since fifa94

great video. my fav period was from 98-07. Problem for me wasn't even the micro transactions, it was just deciding to not improve any aspect of the game. FIfa in 2010 and fifa now is the same COD-esque formula since. Can't blame them really but still...

My first fifa was Fifa 2000 but I remember playing a game before the Fifa series on the Sega Master System called Champions of Europe.

My brother being a diehard fifa man literally cannot be convinced it’s just the same game with slightly different players

Bros underrated

What a vid 🛐

I was 7 yo playing FIFA 2000...still cant stop the rock to this day 23 years later 😢

Let's see what UFL brings to the table when they eventually launch. I hope it's a revolution.

6:44 that kick was fire 🔥

You should do one of these for Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer/Efootball, it was the best football game for a while, and has a great rise and fall to document

My first Fifa was Fifa 05 and Fifa Street. Both at XBOX Classic, that was a good time 😄

The unlicensed names are goated

It was a nice video

Great video with a great message. My love for more football content has made it hard to not buy fifa this year, but im staying strong untill it goes on sale later. I think ea is a root for teaching its young football loving audience bad fundimentals around money and the concept of money just becomes inflated to unreal levels, among other terrible ideals they incorporate. i am a victim of this

Well Ufl is releasing tis year which is going to be free so it going to be interesting to see how well it does

My first football video game was International Super Star Soccer Deluxe for the sega mega drive, we had a copy of a fifa game for the mega drive but we never played it because super star soccer was so much better, I'm pretty sure that game was the precursor to PES. Coincidentally it featured a scenario game mode where you would try to win games from perilous positions, suspicious that something similar would show up later on in a fifa game

Common Ramman W

i think fifa 98 was the most respected game and everyone i know played this game as a child

“somethings just never change”

fifa rtwc 98 deserved more praise for me still one of the greatest fifas of all time my story with fifa games was i played the original on pc then i got fifa 98 for sega saturn and pc, then the last fifa i played for a while was fifa 2001 on ps1 (the cd smelled like grass) then i only played ISS and PES games until i got back to fifa with fifa 12 on ps3

somethings just never change... Just like him repeating this phrase...

Robbie williams - its only us….that tune was the fun times in summer in front of ps1. Now all I play is a shadow of a game with no love to pvp modes (looking at you seasons). These days its just my team vs a kid playing with PSG.

My first fifa was 07 and Street 2 I had more time played on those than all FIFA’s since

11v11 matchmaking in fifa 11 was ahead of its time

I'm glad I stayed a casual player throughout the years and not someone who bought the same game each year and spent way too much money on virtual cards that you never actually get to keep.

How many times did he say 'I guess some things never change' lol 😂😂😂

6:43 am I the only one that was stunned when he bicycle kicked it

Let’s wait as this video slowly become poplular.

I got an add of ea fc 24 and i wacthed it for a little bit and when i skipped it cut perfectly into the begining of the video

Wow I didn’t expect Barbados to be mentioned in this video 7:18 let’s goo barbados lool🇧🇧

If I remember correctly with Fifa 2005, you could combine it with Total Club Manager 05 and play your matches from TCM05 in FIFA 2005

He watched the dancing piglets with panda bear tummies in the swimming pool.

heads up that the Beckham free kick against Greece was for the 2002 World Cup qualifiers

I grew up with the Winning Evelen series so I didn't know any of this

"Some things never change" - Ramman, 2023

Just to prove, how good EA was at adding and removing features: Fifa 07 was not the first game to have popular songs. Fifa RTWC98 had Song 2 by Blur.. Wooo-Hooo!

Play FIFA since Internasional Soccer (94) as my main football game. But it changes in 99 when I knew Winning Eleven 4. FIFA 99 has beautiful graphics and sound at that time, but gameplay far behind WE 4. I came back to play FIFA at 07, after see they copy some gameplay mechanic from WE/PES. Since then FIFA gameplay make improvement. What I like most is FIFA sliders, I can custom gameplay to what I like (I never enjoy FIFA default gameplay). Meanwhile WE/PES do improvement on graphics. What a nice era of football games competition. I love both games. Now EA monopolize football games due their licensing streght. They can do whatever they want. With no competition, I'm affraid football games will stagnant in future.

Fifa 06 on ps2 was my fav career mode you had to start at lower league and work your way up and if i remember correctly you could change your sponsor each year also the better you did the high paid the sponsor

good video but why did it end so abruptly? :( Why did it end at FIFA 10?

6:12 efootball is free to play and is the same game but gets updates every season

FIFA world cup 2010 was PEAK

Fifa 07 is definitely not the first Fifa to have popular songs on the soundtrack and in the menus. Started as far back as 03, Miss Dynamite.

"Some things just never changed." -Ramman

I believe the Dutch league wasn't in FF 2002, while it was in Fifa 2001 (though unlicensed)

4:05 why Yes, the wind blows a little bit colder And we're all getting older And the clouds are moving on with every autumn breeze Peter Pumpkin just became fertilizer And my leaf's a little sadder and wiser That's why I rely on certain certainties Yes, some things never change Like the feel of your hand in mine Some things stay the same Like how we get along just fine Like an old stone wall that'll never fall Some things are always true Some things never change Like how I'm holding on tight to you The leaves are already falling Sven, it feels like the future is calling Are you telling me tonight You're gonna get down on one knee? Yeah bud, I'm really bad at planning these things out Like candlelight and pulling of rings out Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to me Yeah, some things never change Like the love that I feel for her Some things stay the same Like how reindeers are easier But if I commit and I go for it I'll know what to say and do Right?! Some things never change Sven, the pressure is all on you The winds are restless Could that be why I'm hearing this call? Is something coming? I'm not sure I want things to change at all These days are precious Can't let them slip away I can't freeze this moment But I can still go out and seize this day Ah ah ah ah ah ah The wind blows a little bit colder And you all look a little bit older It's time to count our blessings Beneath an autumn sky We'll always live in the kingdom of plenty That stands for the good of the many And I promise you the flag of Arendelle will always fly Our flag will always fly Our flag will always fly Our flag will always fly Some things never change Turn around and the time has flown Some things stay the same Though the future remains unknown May our good luck last May our past be past Time's moving fast, it's true Some things never change And I'm holding on tight to you Holding on tight to you Holding on tight to you Holding on tight to you I'm holding on tight to you

What a vid

John Motson, the legend!

can you do a casillas rewind

I died at "Facu"💀

World Cup 98 was also on PC
