FIFA Soccer 06 - Xbox

This product was amazing! Thank you! You guys are awesome! This product really made our days and till this day, I still play the game!

The manager mode is my favorite of any Fifa including current. Timeless

This is by far the best EA has created in their FIFA series. The atmosphere, graphics, and user interface are much improved over last year's version, but there are still some areas that need improvement. First, the positives: The gameplay is pretty realistic. The defense is much harder to break down than in previous versions, which seems to keep the scoreline in check. The players don't have superhuman ball control like in 2004, and are even less sure-footed than 2005, so you'll actually see even the best players take a bad touch more often. As far as the graphics go, I believe they're pretty strong. EA could have definitely done better on some of the players' resemblances, but the overall look of the stadiums, game action, and atmosphere is much improved over previous versions. The new commentary is a nice touch. Having played the last two releases of FIFA, hearing some new commentary and a new voice is a nice touch. Career Mode is much better in most ways. Although you are still limited to a 15-year career, the team management, player contracts, sponsor deals, and scouting add some new challenges to the career-minded player. The negatives: AI on the defense is ridiculous at times. It's been hard to gain a lot of possession due to the fact that if you're pressuring a defender, he will dribble away from you. He'll just dribble back to the 18-yard line and then kick it out-of-bounds. The fact that the computer is happy with dribbling in their third of the field with little ambition to move forward is a bit annoying and unrealistic...especially when they are losing by just a single goal. This is not so much of a negative, but a warning. In career mode, you need to be careful with your budgeting. After 2-and-a-half seasons with Fiorentina, I was fired with a 17-1-0 record, while also still being alive in both the Italian Cup and Champions League. Performance on the field didn't matter when the money started drifting into negative numbers. Finally, it's very difficult to build a powerhouse like Chelsea did in real life. The amount that the sponsors give your team doesn't seem to foot the bill for a team with more than a couple high-quality players. Winning tournaments and fulfilling sponsor agreements will provide you with the means to purchase good players, but the weekly salaries of these players might find you in a precarious position (see previous warning). It's also difficult to recruit these players, as many of the teams that I have tried to purchase players from, like Milan for instance, will tell you that they don't have enough players for an outright purchase. This can be frustrating since EA makes you start with a sub-par team. Regardless, I have to give this game four stars for its attempts, successes, and improvement in realistic gameplay. Although there are a few flaws in the gameplay, it's still the best that EA has put out to date. EA's ability to provide up-to-date rosters, true-to-life stadium environments and kits, and solid graphics definitely help make it fun to play. I'd recommend it for any soccer fan who has stayed loyal to the EA series. You'll definitely enjoy the improvements.

Classic

bad lot scratches

I was looking for a soccer game that was a quick study and very fun out of the box. Unfortunately this game (like many in the EA Sports Line up) has become more about being an owner or coach then about the actual game play. You have to keep track of the players health, stats, injuries and still figure out how to play the game. The other MAJOR dig on this game is the stupid thing doesn't come with even the basic instructions of how to play it, for example, I had to search online to find out why everyone of our shots on goal was missing badly. Come to find out that you have to push the button and release just at the right point on a power bar located by the name of the player. Playing against another person is fun but playing the computer is a real pain and I felt like it was extremely difficult to get any enjoyment from getting beat over and over. If you want a game that's a fast learn and fun for one person keep looking. If you want to be a soccer manager or play fantasy soccer instead of the actual game this is the one for you!
