My Review on FIFA 2005...

Well, finally got the game and play for few days...... as a FIFA Series fan, here is my review on the game......

Full point is 100% for each section below....

User Interface = 85%
User Interface is improve a lot from FIFA2004, FIFA2004 is the most terrible game menu and user interface i play of FIFA series!
Although the FIFA2005 was improve, but it is react slow for the game menu, especially when you save the game...... i believe my machine is powerful enough to play the game, and i believe more of the other gamers have the same problem...this is what shouldn't be happen to the game......please solve the problem, EA!!!

Graphics = 95%
As usual, this is the strongest point of the FIFA Series, no doubt with it!!! Animation of the players and the camera angle was improve, well done!!! i like it!!!:)

Music = 90%
So far, i'm quite enjoy the musics in the game and no complain about it! Nice!!!

Commentators = 85%
Obviously this is another big improve from FIFA2004, at least no more "slow" commentary happen like FIFA2004, and quite enjoy the commentary when play the game, not bad!!! but still stick with John Motson and Ally McCoist, will it be quite boring after the same commentator in the game so many years?? should EA consider change the commentators? but anyway, this not affect me to play the game!:)

Control = 90%
Far more better than FIFA2004, this is what i'm haapy about FIFA2005. No much complain but have to get use to it! FIFA2004's AI and Control is the main reason i give up to play for the 1st time since i played every series!!!:D

Animation = 85%
Player's animation is good, and some of the animation you was improve from FIFA2004. more like TV style and i like the feel, no complaint!

AI = 85%
Far more than FIFA2004, and more reaslistic ( at least for me, it is!!!) Ball physic and players AI still need to improve, some AI no realistic enough and some time feel ridiculous, but i can feel the improvement, at least i'm enjoy it:)

Gameplay = 90%
Overall found more enjoyament from the game, but definitely still much more to improve, same as the AI...I'm not a WE/PES fan but i have to admit, WE/PES gameplay is more realistic and EA have to working hard on this.....but i think for this year, i will stick to the FIFA2005, because i lov it!!!

Game's Frame Rate = 85%
This is another problem of the game, as other gamers have the same problem, the framerate of the game is low for certain circumstances, cause the game not smooth, and will direct affect the mood to play!!! and a a liitle problem, before i update my Graphic Card's driver, the screen will "blink" and the graphic of the game like "broken"(dunno how to descript:P), this problem quite bad, luckily it's solve after update the driver!!! phew....but in FIFA2005, those prob not too serious, at least far more better than FIFA2004.... but those problem must solve, EA!!!

Game Features = 85%
Honestly, i'm quite enjoy the Career Mode so far, althought using the lower league's team(i'm using Kidderminster in Football Leagues Two), but just feel challeging and quite enjoy!!! for tournament, unlock features, create player, and finally, Mulitplayer and Lan Mode is back (althought i haven't try yet), all quite well, at least for me, it's enough to attract me to play and enjoy it!!!:)

TOTAL = 87.5% :rockman:

It's great to enjoy to play FIFA again, I love this game and hope will getting better, hope EA will keep on track to develop the best football game for football fans!!!

anyway, it's only my personal view, just share with all gamers......at least this game bring me back to play FIFA Series Football again after a really disappointed work by EA in FIFA2004....

i still feel thats a little high for it. i will give it 70% and generally is ok. just while you change the levels of difficulty, the keeper is more hard to beat, cpu using OTB more often and accurate and no more. they still need to improve the AI. cpu shot from distances, make sub, keeper are logically but not superman and etc.

Nice review.

Yeah, PC versions are unpredictable on how they run. I've got the Xbox version and it runs as smooth as silk.

My friend there is something wrong with your config, I'm 99.999% sure. My PC specs are P3 800mhz, 512mb RAM, GeForce 2 MX and 20GB hard drive with 1.3GB free space. There's only 0.0001% you're worse off than me. Yet the game NEVER slows down for me, except during cutscenes. I'm playing 1024x768 32bit with High details. Cutscenes are quite mucky but I dont care. Gameplay is perfect. I'm using 53.03 drivers, latest does not always equal greatest! Maybe post your specs and I'll help you improve gameplay. Tips:

- Run ad-aware and kill all spyware that could hog your system resources, and cause the game to skip.

- Turn off your anti virus and pretty much anything running in the background. Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and try to identify any useless programs. End task to shut them off.
