fifa 07
well, a new season and another EA offering of the world's number one sport. never played 2006, only the world cup edition so i cant really compare. but its definitely an improvement over the latter. 500 odd teams of goodness, what more could you ask for!?
the biggest and most important change we see from previous versions in the physics. finally we have a game that really feels organic in how both the balls & players respond. i never really noticed the issues WC had until i played 07. players tumble after stretching to make the cross, and the ball actually bounces the way it should a whole lot more. makes for a much more fluid experience, and certainly feels a whole lot more realistic.
have only played a dozen games or so, but already i can tell its a whole lot harder to score than WC was. the thru-ball has been significantly tweaked, so no easy goals here any more. for the first time ever im getting over 50% possession, yet losing more games and conceding more goals at the same time. the AI uses the ball much more intelligently (thank god) yet are much easier to tackle (thank god). fvck WC annoyed me when theyd tackle you in a second yet it took you ages to do the same.
theres a whole new world of shooting, with finesse shots blah blah. havent really gone too much into it coz theres so many controls to learn i havent got my head round it yet.
which brings me to the only major negative. first off, if youre not using a 100% supported controller, expect frustration until you work out how to edit the .dat file so you can then use your right analogue stick. and even then, whichever muppet designed the sticks certainly didnt have me in mind, coz theyre unwieldy and cumbersome in a football game. and if you dont use them, no tricks for you as all tricks use that right stick. its a bit of a pain, but im sure you console fags wouldnt have any problems.
graphics havent changed much, tho the celebrations have received a nice upgrade. no fvcking idea though why on the higher res settings it can get so sluggish. i certainly dont expect that from an isometric viewpoint of little men running around on a big slab of green. lazy coders imo. sound has been improved in the crowd, much more reactive to whats going on, and its fvcking awesome to hear liverpool's cheer squad in full voice. why theyve stuck with the same commentator is beyond me, coz he is annoying as fvck. why not get martin tyler ffs? and the sound bites are 75% identical with WC, so hearing the same old gets tiring quickly. especially since 90% of the comments are just thrown in there and dont always make sense, let alone immerse you. but i need the commentator on so i can hear which player has the ball. meh.
overall its a nice improvement over WC, and worth playing for the new physics alone. with heaps of tournament options it has a much longer replay value than WC so am looking fwd to taking liverpool into the other leagues just for fun. hopefully they'll improve coz using those ty analogue sticks the reds havent managed too many wins yet. still, losing is still fun and thats the sign of a good game imo.
4 balls out of 5. |
