    The Graphics are bad, no menu to control details,resolution, nothing.
    This could have been a much better demo if they wanted to make it so
    I mean come on, no need to rush the product when it doesn't have a full quality
    yes you want to do a good marketing of it but come on, FIFA 2006 has great graphics, shame....

    No Graphics or Audio setup menu. No controller setup up. Horrible demo. Graphics looked like ass. Put a setup menu in, EA. DAMN I hate electronic Arts.

    This demo sucks, no doubt about it. The lack of configuration of the graphics is totally unacceptable by EA, they should have tough this further before releasing something this bad. Gonna be playing Winning Eleven till a GOOD FIFA game comes out.

    Game still looks like a 64 piece of shi* with the res increased. I mean come on Fifa 06 looks great. Whats the point of this nintendo 64 looking game. Have you ever heard of a game that doesnt have options to change the graphics. Even Zuma got options to change the graphics. EA released this piece of crap, when the 360 version looks great. I have 2 7900GT's in SLI so at least I was hoping to turn the graphics up only to find out these fools at EA didnt even include a graphics option. Sorry, but such ignorance on EA's behalf towards the PC game community is just unacceptable. This is 2006, PC games like Oblivion and Tomb Raider Legend Equal their 360 counterparts. Theres no reason for a game that looks like this.

    right click on the World cup 2002 link (to the exe file) and add in target after eg **** RESOLUTION=1280x1024x32

    so what your adding is RESOLUTION=1280x1024x32 after the "blahblah.exe"

    fifa always do this wiv they demos, 'tards

    For many years, fighting and soccer games have retained their basic elements. The only difference between Sports and Fighting games is the story: at least fighting games have a story.
    Now, I don't understand what is so important about a game which has no innovation or no difference at all.

    Whats up with the graphics? what the F is wrong with this game? I have Fifa 06 and it looks beautiful when maxed out with 4xaa on my 7900GT at high res. But this dumb demo doesn't even have a graphics options menu, or a controller configuration menu. You can't even change the dang resolution. Is this a joke, or is there a way to configure the graphics options that im missing. This thing looks like a PS2 game.

    Yep. Go Pro Evo 5! I might try this game out anyway. Why Fifa 06 and World Cup? What would be the difference?
