its a progress from last year title
The are some new features in this title that are new to the ds series, like the training mode that you can take every 5 weeks in the career mode.
Basically the game stays the same as last year in its main concept, but some little things were improved. Now the main game screen in the career mode is better, you can see the 10 first standings, the next match you have and a nice cool ticker that show the league statistics.
The biggest improvement from last year title, is that finally, the physics are better, now when a player has the ball, it is much harder to ensure that you wont loose it while dribbling, something like pro evo. Although the game claims that the graphics were improved from last year, you barely see it, the players graphics are the same, but the stadiums were improved and the players animations as well.
One thing they did better is the commentary that is great in this title.
Over all, fifa is a great grab and play kinda game, that will last you for a long time. If you have fifa 06, i still recommend to get this title as well and maybe trade the last year title to something else.
