Fifa has been the one football game that has had the winning formula for a successful football game ever since it first came out. It combined licensced players, stadiums and teams with good graphics and good gameplay. This combination ultimately put Fifa on top every time, until now. For some unknown reason, fifa has had a problem with its transfer to the next gen consoles. First of all there was fifa: road to the world cup which some say was disastrous. Then ofcourse there was fifa world cup 2006 which was a mild improvement but still needed improvement. Like many others i blindly bought the next installment fifa 07, which i was later to discover, was a huge mistake. As i turned on the game i suddenly realised what i had done. In Fifa 07, you can only be the teams that are in the premier league, german budesliga, the spanish primera and Serie A. You can ofcourse be national teams aswell. This i think was a major disapointment. In my view, they have taken a good few steps back with that move. You can't even play as Celtic who are a big team. Anyway, i soon began a season mode with my favourite team Manchester United. I discovered that you can only have a five year career. For me that would only be long enough to win a few trophies and to only just create the team that i would be happy with. It is not long enough at all. Fifa 06 on the PS2 had a 15 yr career. here are more steps back. finally, i got into a game and the controls were awkward and strange, especially the tackling. The tackling system seemed to have a major glitch and sometimes the players would collide and just stand there for 10 seconds, leaving the ball rolling forwards, sometimes to be intercepted. Overall, Fifa 07 is not an impressive game and the game designers will really have to buck up their idea's or otherwise many Fifa fans like me will end up having to turn to other football games like Pro Evo!
