    The whole game plays faster than FIFA 2006, as here EA has managed to set the perfect pace for soccer.

    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]

    The controls are more responsive than the 360 platform, and there is the create-a-player option to put you squarely into the heat of the battle.

    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.
