I've been hooked on FIFA 06 for about the past month. For me, FIFA is probably the most addicting series ever. I'm always thinking, "ugh, alright 1 more match." Plus the whole Manager Mode is great.

Well still 2k6. I own 37 games and pretty much only play 2k6. But I bought Torino and I like it so Ive been playing that a lot. I also bought Shattered Union and am dissapointed. It is my fault, I did not do enough research. I had the impression that it was more of a RTS when it is a turn based RPG. I love RTS games and do not really care for RPGs.
I almost bought Winning Eleven 9 over Shattered Union and wish I had. Winning Eleven >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fifa

I never really liked WE's goalie engine. and FIFA has more liscenses which is a big plus for me. both good games, but this years fifa is getting better than WE

Soccer is for paitent people, a great soccer match is right up there with a great hockey game or a great college football game. It's a subtle sport, that grows on you.
Smackdown vs. Raw 2006, is alright. I haven't followed wrestling religiously, since 2000-01. but I still play their video games. Its a fun game, but the story mode doesn't have anything on No Mercy for N64.
Bryce, MVP Baseball 06 is already out. But it's only college teams. The MLB Franchise has bought the exclusive rights to the Major Leages, so MVP 05 was their last effort at Pro-Teams.

That sounds weak, and why NHL 2k6 really blows; as they lost the ESPN license.

I dont think so. The play by play is about even. I would have preffered more original comentating rather than re-voicing of the previous two years play by play, I admit that was pretty weak. The franchise mode is pretty good and the gameplay is better with less gimmes than in previous years, but it did take time to get used to it.

PS2- MLB 06 - The Show (http://ps2.ign.com/objects/787/787097.html) and MLB 2K6 (http://ps2.ign.com/objects/788/788098.html)
and then on XBOX, (http://xbox.ign.com/objects/788/788099.html)
MLB 06 - The Show comes out feb 28th. MLB 2K6 comes out a week later on March 6.
I plan on sticking with finnishing what I started last year in MVP 05

I'm not allowed to play video games anymore according to my fiance ....lol but seriously I will pretty much play any sports game, but I find most games get too easy pretty quick, I have to start everything at the hardest level to keep it interesting.

Guild Wars was fun . . . for a while.
I've got Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the go right now. Looks great on my new BFG 7800 GS OC AGP video card. ;D

Still relisiously playing FIFA 06, played online too. After playing the game online, the game moves faster, and has a higher qaulity of play, similar to Winning Eleven, but better.
Also, since my last post I re-beat Metal Gear Solid 3, and The Godfather (which was an easy, crappy game for possibly the best movie ever made)

I might be slow, but I concur with Eric. FIFA06 rocks.....I am in year three of manager mode where I took poor old Div 2 Macclesfield Town and now am in Division 1 and looking for a promotion so I can get Arsenal and Man U to hand me my ass on a regular basis.
The coolest thing is being in manager mode and simming a game and intervening to take over....that is just unbelievable.
