FIFA 07 PSP


Yesterday was the release date for Electronic Arts' latest soccer title, FIFA 07 for the PSP, DS, Xbox, PS2, Gamecube and GBA. Thankfully for most gamers the release went smooth, with FIFA 07 shipping on the day : except for the PSP version. EA Canada who are developing the title for the PSP announced that the game which was scheduled for release this week would in fact be released on October 17, but to the anger of portable gamers offered no explanation for the PSP versions delay.

Top of the speculation list on why the game was delayed is the control system which EA would have been hard at work on, after the criticism they received over FIFA 06's PSP control system. Gamers complained that EA hadn't spent enough time on the game-- instead of adapting it to suit the PSPs rather awkward button layout , they went for a quick port method. EA have obviously been keen on fixing the problem for FIFA 07 and so this is probably the cause of the delay. At least people can't moan about EA spending enough time on the PSP version of FIFA 07 as it's the only one they are working on now!

Take that critics.

Its good to see EA working extra hours in this game but it would be better if they were working harder on Medal of Honor or NFS,anyway i think this is a good new. To NÂș5,Soccer is that game that happens every 4 years were everybody in the world (except people on the U.S.) get crazy.Germans fight with English,Italians with frenches,Irish dudes with Scotches...scotish those dudes from Scotland.

This is good news

They have more time to make sure that Fifa requires firmware 2.81 now. This game was delayed due to the serious threat to sales that Devhook poses.

This is strange because ISO dumps of this game are everywhere on the internet.

Odd 2

Funnily enough, it got released 2 days ago here in Germany. Oh and by the way, it requires 2.80.

What Delay

You can buy it here in England, Every Game shop has it. They are obviously delay the release in other parts of the world for some other reason, but they certainly are not fixing any control method problems.
