The fifa series is headed in the right direction.
User Rating: 6.8 | FIFA 07 Soccer PC
The pc version of FIFA 07 is a decent footballing experience with all the official leagues and players plus an enjoyable match engine and manager mode. The graphics are decent with the well know players having there own models and some good looking stadiums. On the pitch the game features the ability to perform tricks although they are often ineffective and difficult to get correct meaning most players will keep it simple. Personally I found the AI, even on world class, too easy to defeat which takes the fun out of the manager mode. The normal game speed is a little slow and i find it more enjoyable at the higher speed but having to revert to the lower speed for the online games can be irritating. The create a team and player features are nice add-ons but we are being to expect these to come as standard with other EA titles including them such as Tiger Woods. The physics in the game seems much more realistic since the last in the series and this is a positive step forward offering a more enjoyable experience. There are a few minor issues that effect the realism, one being the goalkeepers. They make ridicules errors and the collision detection sometimes fails. They are also useless at rushing in one-on-one situations which is particularly clear to see facing an AI opponent. The free kick system once mastered can result in a goal from nearly every free kick making the game that little bit easier. Overall the game is worth a look but still has a long way to go before it will be a solid football game.
