    The Xbox 360 is technically superior with no slowdown but it does lose out some features that the current-generation versions have.

    This newer game is by far the more impressive choice, with fully fleshed out features, excellent animation, solid soccer gameplay, and an exciting presentation, replete with another batch of great music from around the world. [Jun 2006, p.112]

    Surely everybody knows the score by now: EA ever so slightly update FIFA. It gets new stats, new players, new kits and slightly better graphics whilst remaining pretty much the same game it always has been.

    The problem is the stupidity of your defence - the number on their shirts apparently representing their IQ. [Issue 141, p.102]

    Winning 11 plays better still. you would think that since they have all the fifa rights for this games they would put more emphasis on matching or become better than the game play of winning 11. come on EA get your people together and do top quality soccer games it's time already!… Expand

    Great graphics as usual; EA still has the licenses to seem like they control the world; but they just don't get it. Winning Eleven still holds the edge on realistic gameplay (although no licenses) while FIFA has stayed in the same stagnant place as they were four years ago. What starts out with a lot of flash ends with a whimper. Their choices for classic players is limited at most (no Beckenbauer) as well as classic all-time squads. They still have the most in-depth managerial system but that doesn't make up for the poor, redundant game play where you can figure out the patterns in five minutes. I scored with a player 9 times from the same spot just inside of the penalty area. Fix the game guys, or at least contact me so I can help you figure out what to do correctly.… Expand
