Football video games make players more aggressive than violent ones - Polidicks

I agree. Had been playing FIFA 11 progressively over a week, even if I had won 90% of the time, the easiest chances I miss had wound me up and every stupid thing I did just made me even mad :v: I also hate people who say "oh you didn't deserve to win, I had [b]more[/b] chances!". Yes, the score really stated that, goals win games, not chances..

I like how half of this thread thinks we're talking about Madden and the other half about FIFA.

I've never played sports games, and I thought I was making myself violent. Life goes very funny ways.

[QUOTE=MasterG;29632161](As much as you guys may hate cod, you cant' deny it's played by a lot of people)[/QUOTE] I really don't see what's so bad about Call of Duty, anyways, I don't think anybody here was denying that it was played a lot.

They should try beating Shao Khan in MK9. You'll experience a new kind of "Aggression"

FIFA-rage.

RTS games seem to be the games that [b]really[/b] piss me off. [editline]5th May 2011[/editline] I've never played sports games apart from THPS so I wouldn't be able to say.

Well, good thing I'm never playing sports video games ever.

FIFA KILLED MY PARENTS ! caps

This is surprisingly true. I never thought about it before, but playing against the computer is fucking ridiculous in every football game I've played. I'll be up 36 to 0, I'll throw a ball with a clear shot to a player, and it goes 40 feet to the right into the hands of a player from the other team with a clear way to the end zone. And they intercepted field goals. Fuck. Wait not that kind of football? uh

[quote]The results showed killing someone caused little brain activity[/quote] That's, uh, a little more worrying. I'd be happier if killing someone resulted in greater physiological response.

Experts are now investigating this new development. :foxnews:

I agree, when I die in a shooter, I don't give a fuck. When someone scores at me in Fifa 11, I start to go angry, and they wouldn't like to see me angry. Online that is, against computers there's no honour and glory.

[QUOTE=Omali;29632193]It isn't the Madden games that cause this sort of behavior, but the opposite. Rather than Madden causing people to become aggressive, you get a lot of the aggressive football fans who play Madden. It's part of the bro mentality, and the people who get violent over Madden are probably the same people who get violent when their favorite sports team loses.[/QUOTE] Sure, but you didn't read the study at all did you

[quote] [b]The results showed killing someone caused little brain activity[/b][/quote] sounds about right

[QUOTE=Mon;29640867]sounds about right[/QUOTE] Right, because our brains are so easily deceived between real life and digital. Killing a person you know to be digital wouldn't elicit much of a response.

[QUOTE=Eonart;29630691]Most multiplayer non-violent games make you violent anyway. e.g. Mario Party[/QUOTE] It's amazing how after 7 sequels the first is still the most infuriating.

Correlation not causation. Aggressive dickheads are probably more likely to play football games.

[QUOTE=booster;29632798]They should try beating Shao Khan in MK9.

Until someone makes a console adaptation of the Mesoamerican Ball Game, I don't think sports titles will have that kind of payoff.

OP says the study was from Glasgow, so it'll be Football/Soccer, not American Football (aeiou).

One game that makes me flip a shit is New Super Mario Brothers Wii, beat my brother up once after he throwed me into a pit of boiling lava.
