EA Football World site launches
April 18, 2008 by pastapadre
A few days ago EA Sports launched the EA Football World website. If you have already registered on EA Sports World then the same log-in will access Football World. Normally I wouldn’t take much interest in a site that is dedicated to soccer games (right now it is used solely for UEFA 2008). However it actually provides a look at some of what the Sports World website will offer when it relaunches this summer.
Immediately noticeable improvements include the removal of heavy flash elements which leads to the pages loading much quicker, widgets to customize your personal page, and the addition of ratings and comments on videos.
There have been many gripes with Sports World. Log-in issues, Gamertag/PSN linking issues, slow loading times, and not being able to upload videos to popular hosting sites are the most most commonly mentioned. Certainly having embeddable videos that could be stored permanently would be desirable. It also appears Football World is still missing a much needed password reminder/reset option.
I’ve been told that feedback regarding the EA Football World website could potentially be applied to Sports World. Since the site will play a part in upcoming titles such as NCAA Football 09 and Madden 09 the community feedback could be of huge benefit. So feel free to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments and I’ll make sure they’re passed along.
It’s too bad that you do not play soccer games. Because unlike baseball there are two really good ones and I would love to get your take on either of them.

Yeah there are definitely some good ones out and UEFA is supposed to be excellent, but I just don’t have the patience required to enjoy a game that goes back and forth like that. Hockey is pretty much the same way for me too.

It all starts with the games. So with Football World right now all it utilizes is UEFA Euro 2008 (which isn’t released in the US yet). But Sports World has some NCAA and Madden ties.
Much of it is based on what you do in the game such as viewing your stats from it on the website or uploading your screenshots and videos from inside the game to the website.
they have sent me msg’s before on how 2 do it but ev time i put n my email it never sends me anything on how to link i hope they fix this so i can use it for ncaa 09 and madden09
