FIFA SOCCER 2006.....( Get the GAME to get to the BALL)
The game has been improved hugely!!Lots of dynamic midfield play, tight marking, and decent adherence to tactical principles. Just like the real thing.
Numerous all-new features....There's a heavy emphasis on intelligent passing here (not a bad thing), and it's critical you learn to exploit players who come over to help defence. Master the art of drawing an extra defender then dishing the ball off, and your job is made a lot easier. This is not an easy task, and when playing a human who knows their way around a controller, it's even less likely.
To any players who expect to be doing any dazzling solo runs down the wing followed by a swift powerblaster into the auld onion bag.....FORGET IT.
think about it.....do real soccer players do such things!?
Presentation, is, as always, flawless. The commentary beats Pro Evo's into a cocked hat, and the pitches, well, there's no comparison. It would be nice to see a little more work done on the crowd in the FIFA games, mainly because it's the one thing preventing this from being a broadcast-quality mimicry of The Real Thing.
However..the game has a few issues.......
1) The game is a 3.5 GB which is nearly double the size of FIFA 2004.
- i mean should a football game be THAT BIG!!?)-
2) It just isn't sharp enough in the control stakes.
