Stop putting sports stars on the covers of the game...problem solved. After all, does anyone impulse buy these things because of who is on the cover? I certainly don't think so.

I think the Madden boxart looks much better with players, rather than John Madden's head.

You'd be surprised. A couple of my friends totally impulse buyed Fifa Street (I think) cause sleazy Ronaldo was on the cover :/

In other news, the new comment system really gets on my nerves as it doesn't auto-save the data and I have to pick my current un-banned account from a list of my banned accounts each goddamn time I write a comment...

Oh and Fifa? Fuck Fifa.

What you mean, no one who likes to kiss the ass of the Vatican will buy it. The other half will absolutely love it.

I really don't understand why people care about this. As a huge hockey fan, if Rick Nash got traded right before that game came out, I wouldn't even think about it. I would just look at the cover and think "that's right, he was traded right before this game came out".

Joystiq: The new comment system has a problem. When I click Returning, it doesnt save my email. I have to write my email everytime I want to make a post.

The "Remember option" is checked.

Anyone having the same problem?

On IE it saves it but I still have to double click to get the option to choose the email address. I also now have to click to go to returning. Meaning the new comment system hasn't fixed the old bugs but has created new ones.

How hard is it to get a comment system that works? Or is this what you use to differentiate yourself from other blogging websites?

Testing testing one two.

While everyone is talking about it a question: Is there any way I can keep my username while changing my email address. I haven't used the email address I'm registered under for about a year, I don't even think it still exists. Subsequently I have no idea what my password is (I'm relying solely on the good grace of Firefox to do that for me) and I really want to get rid of the Mario icon so I can be like all the cool kids.

Also If Maurice Edu is the biggest star you guys in the US can muster to put on the FIFA box I'm really not surprised you have no interest in the sport, from my understanding he has played maybe two or three full internationals? It's nice that EA are putting an upcoming player (who given a few years could possibly make it in the middle reaches of some of Europes better leagues) but its hardly star power.

Really this is not surprising when this type of thing happens because it is the start of a new footballing season and that is when most players are transfered. Coincidentally that is when there is a new Fifa PR campaign. *yawn*

So now the cover curse is that Players get transfered to other teams?

Especially with FIFA 09 having not one but two transfered players:
Adu going to Glasgow and Ronaldihno going to AC Milan

*hopes for Guillermo Ochoa to be transfered to an European team then*

At least they had the sense to put Ronaldinho in his brazil uniform, nobody knew what club he would end up going to.

Doen anyone even give a flying crap about who is on the goddamn cover? Why the hell does it matter?

It doesn't really matter, but in terms of games, would you hate it if they had the original Sub Zero on the cover of an MK game, only to be able to play as the robot Sub Zero from MK3? Probably. That's the only way I could think about it.

It's not a trade, it's a sale.

Trades only happen within leagues.

Do I have to click "returning" EVERY time I post? Cos thats gonna get old very fast...

I'm assuming this guy is only on the cover of the US version? Given that the rest of the world would burst out laughing at seeing a TORONTO jersey.

Speaking of replacement game covers, WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED MY NEW Okami COVER YET FROM CAPCOM?! I signed up for it back in April!

Anyone from Joystiq want to use their super journalist powers to ask about an update on that?
