OperationSports.com gives FIFA 07 a "9"

"BlackMagick has been ejected for exploiting"?

Yea, something about editing teams , using a glitch to be speedier, etc. Apparently everyone on his team ran at 6o mph.. Fifa videogame cheating is the equivalent of real life doping! Kind of cool actually, in a bizarre way. Even cooler that he got caught. Would have been great and realistic if they just deducted 10 points from him, as in real life.

But how did he edit teams, every time I play FIFA 07 on live it makes me load the online roster?

To say the least. I have still to shake off my sprinting! Too used to PES style. Little by little. I like your assesment Luvpes, it's pretty spot on. although my gripes (gameplaywise) are:

1. Players bouncing off eash other like bumper pool. Not realistic
2. No dummys, special moves, stepovers. How many stepovers does Robinho do in real life? and Ronaldo? Christiano?, etc. Probably 4 or 5 times minimal, yet these are not included in Fifa 2007! They said the moves would be context sensitive and it is a lie. I've done the whole master league and bought attributes, suped up Robinho to 99 dribbling as well as Ronaldo and still I haven't seen context based special moves. It's nonexistant.
3. "weak" players shouldn't fall 70% of challenges.

Skill moves

In FIFA 07 on XBOX 360, dribbling will enable you to trigger skill moves and beat defending players.

Brutal Stop: [View Quicktime Video] By pressing the RT or RB button without giving any direction with the left stick, the player abruptly stops. This helps keep control of the ball and unbalance the defender by abruptly changing the pace. RT makes the player stop and maintain the direction they were originally travelling. RB makes the player stop automatically face the opponent goal. [View Quicktime Video]

Change Lane: [View Quicktime Video] Release the direction control and turn 90 degree left or right as the player is slowing down. This is best employed when a defending player is approaching the player in possession from directly ahead at pace and with a little bit of space between the two players.

Knock On: [View Quicktime Video] Tapping the right analog stick while dribbling the gamer will be able to knock the ball into space. This move is best used on the Counter Attack or when a defending player is about to tackle to either unbalance the opponent and beat them or draw a foul.

Stop and Go: [View Quicktime Video] Hold the sprint button and release the left stick while dribbling and the player will briefly stop. Move in the original direction again with the left analog stick and the player will perform a Stop and Go as he will move on sprinting again.

Feint: [View Quicktime Video] In the middle of a 45 degree turn, use the right analog stick to flick the ball in another 45 degree direction [View Quicktime Video]. This is difficult to perform but is very effective to dribble past an opponent.

Context Skill Moves: In FIFA 07 on XBOX 360, the fact that the ball is completely independent enables the gamer to perform a myriad of unique and unscripted skill moves based on context (the player attributes, the position of the ball and the gamer input) of any given situation.

For example, the ball could be chipped over the head of the receiving player or he could juggle the ball several times after performing a successful trap. The more you play the more you will be able to see and reproduce those unique and exciting moves.

I don't think EA lied about context moves. I think you were expecting something else

I found out how on a message board and it makes perfect sense. I won't say so that people start doing the same all over the place. The speed thing is obvious. You get a feeling, you'll know when it happens.

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

Knock on, Brutal stop,stop and go aren't skill moves. As for, context based??? Don't know what context? Robinhos stepovers should be very apparent since he does them everyyy time. Know what I'll do? I'll play on the tightest camera angle to see if I can notice the "moves".

 

[LuvPES]

I beg to differ, those are moves just not fancy but they are still moves, the trick is what you can do with them, if done right they can look really sweet

Being that you got a beautiful diving header against me , I have no choice but to believe you. Gotta get some games in soon. Are you gonna watch the Champions League matches today? By the way, I was playing agame at the Velodrome at dusk, I must say the graphics are amazing! Not all the stadiums and pitches look equally great IMO though. I complain about this game alot but damn do I enjoy it. I've never felt like this about a game. Usually, when I get annoyed at a game I tend to quit playing it alltogether...not this one. I am determined to be King....well let me not take it that far

I'll call you king once you figure out how to do headers, how does that sound? :funny:
