I've only seen a drastically edited version on TV. This ad has real impact.

This is my favorite, but then again I'm a Eurosnob:

WOW! Loved the net fulls of balls, and all the faces racing by. Beautiful ad for the beautiful game. Brilliant!

How much did EA pass under the table to you Goff? ;)
Just kidding! Pretty epic commercial, but I was already planning on getting it eventually so it didn't really sway me too much.

Hard to imagine anything ever beating the "Director's Cut" of "Take It To The Next Level" from Nike.

Kick-A Ad and nice upgrades to the game (got it yesterday).

Is there a stupid marching band in the stands when you visit the Scroungers in the game?
I'm going to hold out for a while, maybe finagle a copy for Christmas...
I really need a new tv before I get that game.

Meant to ask... does this work for Atari?

No such luck joedoc, but I hear it runs great on colecovision.

Bet on no Commodore support either.

My favorite adidas ones are the ones from 06 with the kids who pick famous players, and they just show up.

But like someone else already said, you cannot do better than Guy Ritchie's Director's Cut of "take it to the next level"

Also, the behind the scenes on the EA ad on their website are kinda cool

Did someone say "Commodore"?!
"Sail on down the line
'bout half a mile or so
and I don't really wanna know
Where you're going.
Maybe once or twice, you see
But time after time, I tried
To hold onto what we got, but
Now you're going..."
Commodores, "Sail On," circa late '70s/early 80s

yeah, I love playing FIFA, but I don't like how they never really put any effort in to the MLS portion of the game. like WashDips said, they often dont even get the skin color of high profile players in the League correct (Emilio was white last year!), much less rate them at all fairly.

Thats a lot of Xavis. Go Barca! Go video games forever!

got the game the other day. So very man bugs in it, you'd think Microsoft made it...zing.
The manager mode is laughably bad http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/11539748-post4443.html
, and defenders on your team seem to just be itching to get out of position.
It seems they put all of their effort in this game into make the moves and tricks look cool and ended up making a sub-par product. I wouldn't recommend buying this.

Where's Donovan?
LOL
We get all the Eurostars in ads in the USA. Not even a glimpse of Beckham in the "real" ad for the game.
Thx,
Jay!
