List all your complains about 360 Fifa'07 here

1) Sound problems. Seems to be having sync problems between my game disc and my xbox360 dvd drive. Crowd noises will sometimes, skip, go off, go loud, go soft, same for commentary. This is especially so during player substitutions.

2) Headers. Heading is not as good as I wanted to be. Players behind opponents simply do not attempt to challenge the ball in the air, preferring to do a 'jump kick' instead. Heading is mostly done with the player's feet on the groud. I definitely prefer the heading system on the PC version

3) Player subs coming in with soiled shorts.. small problem, but irritating.

Off the bench with soiled shorts? Perhaps someone put laxatives in their water or had McDonald's breakfast?

HAHAHAHAA That must be it Egg McMuffin + Game Warm up = Kaka in Kaka's shorts.

The only sound problems I have occured are the crowd chants going a little quieter during substitutions.

I do hate the fact that players coming on have the same grass stains on them as the players going off, though.

Other than that my only little gripe with the game is the 1-2 system, the players don't seem to run until the target player recieves the ball and is comfortable with it ... but then it isn't really a 1-2 because you have to control the player for a few steps before your player starts running into space.

It is very clear that this game is an unfinished game, I have to say EA Sports entire Sports line is an unfinished series from NHL to NBA, but give them credit, thus far they are going all out on the 360 especially with this raw physics and ball and puck physics. I have always accused these guys of being complacent which funny enough I am accusing Seabass now but no more. Now if they can only do something about their cartoony graphics.

What bugs me about the game is the AI at times, passing is great but when it comes to making runs, their just isn't any cohesiveness you would expect from your teammates like I would see in Pro Evo

My major gripes with FIFA07 are the options - or lack thereof.

I understand the cut in teams and I knew to expect the six leagues - and RTWC section (although I expected the RTWC to be a bit more extensive than three teams) But there were things that I felt were a let down, made all the more annoying by the fact that the game's mechanics are fantastic.


1: No weather options - you get day or night, that's it.

2: No tournaments - I like playing the Premiership with several teams at once, sticking to the correct rosters. I don't want to be responsible for ticket prices or sponsors, and I don't want CPU dealing putting the rosters out of whack either. So looks like I'm stuck playing friendlies or challenges for a year then.

3: No unlockable kits - I appreciate that the boots n balls list is extensive, but why cant we unlock/buy 3rd kits like in all the other games. They're only textures for goodness sake.

4: No "on the fly" management. - The best thing that the 360 games brought to the world of FIFA was the ability to flick the D-pad and call subs, change positions or formations while the game was going on. I miss it in FIFA 07 - Now to make a sub I have to pause the game, go into two menus come back out and then wait for a stoppage.

5: A really minor niggle this one, but why haven't the teams' number fonts been correctly reproduced as in the other versions? Even PES has this (in fact PES has correct name fonts too)

6: The ability to make CAP's above a limited (crap) ability. A lot of people rely on CAP to make players (real life) not in FIFA 07. Didier Agathe is a top class player, he is not OVR 62!

Well, is clear that EVERY game has always some point that needs to be better, indeed all can be better. Is not my intention to defend EA, more when im a really PES fan during last years(this year very, very dissapointed) until FIFA 07 for 360 comes.

So, in the other hand, PES6 for 360, you have 8 stadiums, no Bundesliga (i dont know what thinks the german mates about this), not editor, 1 only licensed team from Premiership, 1 licensed team from Bundesliga, old and catoonish clipling graphics (indeed is a port, not a really 360 game), not new reshooted movements, and the same gameplay as WE10 (game that i played during months and months). A few licensed national teams, if i remember well, Argentina, Holland, Spain, Chech Rep., and a couple more, instead of the big list of national teams from Fifa 07.

World cup tournament??, yes, there´s is not an International Cup option in FIFA 07 if you want call the things by his name,,,,,but i preferd this instead of all the bugs, false promises, and all the bigs LACKS (8 stadiums only, my god....a 30 teams worldcup played in 8 stadiums??? hehehe....) from Konami. So the Manager mode is very well done, you can play of a more realistic way, increasing the values of each players, making transfers, etc, etc....or do it simply arcade and making it like Season mode, just put all in automatic.

About the sounds, yes, sometimes they go lower when you make a substitution, but if you preferd to hear that weird ball sound each time that you touch the ball in PES6, well,,,,is your option. And about the IA, well, i really didnt see any problem, may be you should to put more it more difficult, i mean, World class, or something like this, and you will see how works this great IA. Im tired of to see how Zambrota runs the side when Messi has the ball for to make a cross pass, or simply return back, im tired of to see how Eto´o or Ronaldhinho are always traying to dismark from his defender, looking for spaces, etc, etc,etc,,,,So, if this is not a good IA,,,,well, i dont know.

Finally, about names.....well....BlueLondon F.C.?? Chamartin??? Catalonia?? BrickStadium???.....ahem...

The Only thing that im really agree is about that rain/snow should be present on the game. But i preferd dont have it than to have it in a poor 360 game, like is PES6.

May be im so much critic with PES6, but it deserves it. When i saw all that images from FIFA 07 on 360, i though...."pfff...pure photoshop", then i saw the videos and the movements, i thought..."hmmmm...something is wrong??"... and after play the demo, i eated all my words with potatoes and i went to the shop to buy it, and retail version is much better in all aspects. When i saw the first images from PES6 i thought the same "pfff....pure Adriano high poly renders with a lot of photoshop"....i was right....when i saw a few videos from the game....i thought "hmmm....it seems the same game that WE10, may be more smooth but is the same"....i was right, not reshooted movements. So may be to put a demo from PES6 for 360 will be a great option for to dont waste your money....but i think that they preferd dont to put it (and if i was Konami, i did not put it too....u know), and that people feels for himselfs how bad looks all, not enought options, not editor, excent of important Leagues, with this annoying flags on the national teams not licenced, etc....etc....all with a nice rain or snow falling in one of the 8 stadiums and in the heads of this kind of 2D sprites crowd.

Take care

I have the sound problems too, after a free kick is taken crowd noise will cut for a sec, some crowd chants in EPL sound like a few guys in a recording boothe, others are ok tho, the lack of an aerial game, players dont really jump much in this game, lacking the third dimension..............i also agree this game is very trim, as in bareboned alot not here, net physics suck, goals seem like they are lacking somthing between the posts, also a few stuff ups from martin tyler, calls that have nothing to do with the play going on, rare tho!

Game rocks tho i still love it, i like the depth to it, next year this game should have it nailed really, add all the good stuff back in, improve net physics, gimme all the small club stadiums, ability to mix kit as i want like pes5, some more airtime and a slightly lighter more bouncey ball please, oh and quickly thanx.

Well, the sound thing is strange, i only noticed when i make substitutions. So, i have not problem after the free kick, i didnt notice any cut sound. About jump, well i score a few goals making headshots, "chilenas", etc....i dont see problem on this.

Take care

cant seem to play with d pad you cant edit players that are already in the game ( well i cant if anyone knows how ? ) refs are very biased you touch them a foul they kick lumps outta you no foul ?? cut scenes blink and you miss them they also seem very dark and some of the players look like trolls or something very dissapointed all round really thought this was going to be the bollox of a game but let down again

- Lack of weather.
- Tournaments.
- Lack of leagues.
- Some of the menu items are hard to read on my 28" tv screen and I'm not blind!

Other than that, really can't complain too much.

Although I'm liking the game I don't like:

Short Intros
Players coming off the bench with soiled shorts (is that turds?)
Crowd noise pauses for subs
Net physics (a bit)
Some faces are horrid
Few options
No practice mode
No team customization
Tired of those 2 commentators (bring in Eddie Myghten & Tommy Smith/JP Delacamera)

my problems in the game are -

- slightly change the way players bump into each other so they dont suddenly stop when they clash

- make the ref give more fouls for standing tackles

- stop making players go for a bicycle kick for crosses all the time

- make one - two passes more useful so the players passing moves as soon as he releases the ball

- change the player switching so that I can choose the player in front of the ball when I am defending.

- make the shooting feel more "real". I dont know how to explain it but the shooting feels too fake.

- and lastly for me, they need to make the goalkeepers less acrobatic, cause they keep saving shots that no keeper would save in real life. This can be solved by making the defenders better, so there are less shots on goal.

oh and change the learning curve between "professional" difficulty and "world class" because the change is too huge.
Theres alot of things there, but if they change all these I think they will have the best footie game ever made.

Oh! How did I forget this one?

Make challenge mode more realistic, a bit easier. All that great stuff in the shop and god knows I'll only be able to get 10% of it unless I dedicate my life to playing this game!

I'm sure the following complaint, everyone has:

The intro scenes. Enough said. It's purely pathetic. Not only is it short and they don't show the stadium, but when you come up with some amazing faces and character models like they have (for the most part), why wouldn't you show it off like in a lineup when the national anthems should be sung? Like other titles, simply pan player per player showing off what they've worked so hard at!

P.S. - Anyone see Guti in the game? Worse face I have ever seen. Not only does it look nothing like him but he looks butt ugly, I mean, like something from "The Hills have eyes"

Most people.. just cancel the intro mode anyways.. its a nice thing to have in a game..but did you see the into in NBA 2K7 .. lol..

EA's goal: CUT INTROS IN ALL GAMES...ALL SPORTS GAMES CUT CLUB TEAMS DOWN BY HALF..

I'll try not to repeat the complaints from others so here are mine:

-Player responsiveness needs to be improved... the game still lacks total control and I find that players still have to complete the animation cycle they started... EA needs to allow animations to be changed and blended from one to another (like in PES) ...
-Ball has to be completely free next year... it still IS animation driven... not all the time, but happens too often for my liking
-Some kind of "super cancel" should be put into the game so that players are not "on rails"... e.g. if I knock the ball in one direction that I can come to it from different angle... LB button does not allow you to do that as someone else mentioned before...
-Ability to jostle for the ball... not just in corners, but after crosses and goal kicks etc...
-Corners need a lot of work... I very rarely feel that I did what I wanted to do with the corner...
-Shooting also needs some work, and shooting animations need to be improved, it looks ackward most of the time (especially finesse shot animation)...
-Headers also need a lot of work... Yes, you can score from jump headers but it happens too rarely to be realistic... Most headers are still done from the ground and feel lack of control... (in PES for example you can send the ball whereever you want with the header)...
-Volleys need some work too and are overdone in Fifa 07... Players attempt too many bicycle kicks...
-Passing assistance off is good in theory, not so good in practice as player responsiveness is not adequate for it... and there should be an option to make both players over Live either use the same passing assistance or switch it off completely... Right now, people that switch it off are disadvantaged...
-Lighting in the game is quite bad and unrealistic... there is yellow palette missing completely... e.g. when the Sun is out, you should get that bright yellowish light on the stadium (like in WC2006) and current gen... most of the time it is bright green, whitish look...

What kind of weed are you smoking my brother..?? FIFA 07 has better ball physics by mile away from PES/WE...and thats a fact..

There still is issues with the ball physics. Its fine for shooting and passing, but lobbing or high passes are unrealistic and got to the player generally all the time without bouncing, it mostly lands at the feet. When you header it sometimes the ball curles stupidly like its caught in a tornado.

Theres still a lot of work on this. My main gripe is when you play the cpu, and he attacks. When he crosses he never ever headers the ball..ever. Every cross is precision and is met on the chest or in certain circumstances a volley or bicycle kick. i cant stress enough how much that harms the game. That needs sorting asap. reminds me of fifa 2003 where scoring a header was considered an achievement.

Crossing needs sorting too. its too lobby or too fizzed in and when you fizz it in no one can get on the end of it because players cant really react or auto switching doesnt react fast enough. Plus most of the lobbed crosses go straight to the man almost to foot.

Refs need a revamp, far too harsh and the player movement still needs tweaking. its still not balanced enough, sometimes you have all the players in the same area of the pitch at once or your back line far too deep from the midfield.

Little things like choosing the matchball when you've unlocked items in manager mode and night games would be nice too.

I think its a great effort and i didnt expect a perfect result first time. but as long as they go away and fix these errors, and not like they normally do, concentrate on a new selling point and ignore the mechanics they should be ok.

To me in PES/WE long range passes, crosses are waaaay overrated and scripted in my opinion. Setting passing assistance to 0 will give you realistic lifelike passing (if you played FK you know what I'm talking about". PES/WE gives me total passing accuracy which looks unrealistic in many ways.

As far as CPU never using headers you might be right there..but as I play the game it really doesn't bother me that much..

Its like this.. you drive an automatic car (PES/WE) and the car will change gears automaticly.. (less work for you "something also called scripted")..in FIFA 07 you get to drive manual (you do everything youself manualy - no scripting..which is a total realism.

In PES/WE lets say you are a defender and you are next to your goalie...you have cpu's striker coming to chase you a CPU won't allow you to do what you want to do instead the CPU will help you get rid of the ball by kicking it out for a corner or throw in line.. this is BS because I want to be the one who is controlling the game, not CPU's assistance..
