We caught up with Britain's best FIFA player at this summer's Mfestival...
Hi Chris. For those that don't know, can you tell us who you are?
My alias is Chrissy B, real name Chris Bullard. I play for pro gaming team the London MiNT, who are in the Championship Gaming Series.
You just won the World Cyber Games UK final against the current World Champ, Bazza of the Birmingham Salvo. Talk us through the match!
Bazza and I play a lot in competitions, so we know each other's games well, but we'd not played for a month. I was a bit surprised the match started off so well for me, I went up 2-0 straight away. I don't think my opponent set up his tactics straight away; normally before the game you select Mentalities, but I think he selected the wrong ones so it was easy for me to score two goals straight away.
And then he changed it, but I was already two up, and I was comfy – I was the favourite going into the second half and I felt like I was the better player. I could relax a bit whereas he had to score three to win. It ended up 4-1.
What does it take to be a good FIFA player?
A lot of people say fast reactions, but I don't think that's so important. I think the main attributes are good logic, tactical sense – obviously you've got to know the game of football as well. Good hand-eye co-ordination too, because some people get to console and they just can't do it. And obviously you need to be competitive, because if you weren't competitive you wouldn't be doing what I'm doing!
If you weren't competitive you wouldn't be doing what I'm doing!
How do you rate FIFA against the other footy games out there, such as Pro Evo?
I think in previous years Pro Evo was the better game, gameplay-wise, but this year it wasn't so much; it hadn't really advanced like FIFA had. FIFA 08 on PS3 especially was really good. The weakest version was on PC, which wasn't as great, but we're near FIFA 09 now so hopefully that will have been improved.
What do you think of FIFA 09?
I haven't had a chance to play it yet actually! We're heading over to the EA stand in a bit. Looking forward to that.
I think in previous years Pro Evo was the better game, gameplay-wise, but this year it wasn't so much.
What are you looking for in FIFA 09 then? What would you like to see improve?
I'd like to keep the game engine for both games, really, but improve the speed. The PS3 and Xbox 360 version could be quite sluggish when you're receiving the ball, it wasn't quite quick enough and sometimes you'd get a delay with passes and shots. For that game I'd keep the same engine and make it more upbeat.
For the PC version, parts of it were almost perfect, but some of the manual passing was done wrong as it was the first year they did it, and the goalkeepers were a bit too good. So I'd like to see the PC version of FIFA 09 quicker, and more accurate and lifelike.
What other types of game do you play when you aren't playing FIFA?
I'm a big fan of CoD4, and I really enjoy playing anything on the Wii.
And lastly, who's going to win the Premiership this year?
I'm a big Chelsea fan, so I'm gonna have to say the Blues!
Haha, well I hope you're wrong about that! Thanks Chris.
