It's so nearly there. Almost. This is the word that best describes the latest edition of FIFA. Almost because despite the new First Touch system and Live mode, the game still stumbles in the same areas.

First let's concentrate on the plus points, starting with the excellent First Touch system. Press pass and as the ball reaches your receiving player, if you hit a direction on the right thumbstick, you player will perform one of a number of tricks and moves, such as dragging the ball under their heel. The idea of every move is to allow you to create some space to run into and hopefully score. This system does allow you to make space and create realistic moves. Excellent.

Likewise the corner system, this has now been simplified to the ways of old FIFA, just select a player to pass to and jostle in the box to receive the ball and score. Again, all the nonsensical button combos of the rubbish Off The Ball system have been removed, as have the arrows and awful through-ball system of FIFA 2003. Then there is Xbox Live, a comprehensive World Cup created and sponsored in association with FIFA, which allows you and nine friends to play teams from all over the world in a series of leagues to discover the best team in the world.

All good? Not quite, as the same easy scoring from 'sweet spots' plague the game and for some reason it's nigh on impossible to score from five yards out, one-on-one with the keeper. And because of the reliance on motion captured animation and pre-set special moves, you still never feel in complete control of the player.
This aside, the improvements outweigh the old problems, and every football-loving fan with Live needs FIFA 2005, we need to win that World Cup, even if it is a virtual victory.

if you ever saw the fifa diaries or know much about the people who make the game, you would know that fifa games are made by just not canadians, there are brits and americans. It's just that The studio is based in Canada.

it sounds a lot more sad and funny to say those canadians never learn rather than
those multiculturaly diverse group of devolopers and game designers who work in toronto never learn;) :crazyboy:

What a load of BS. If you've played the game yourself then you would know this is not true. Espcecially the remark that it's "impossible" to score one on ones. That's weird, because the majoirty of my goals seem to come from one on one situations.

We've already had a thread about this review so this thread is closed.
