Finally a breakthrough in sight

The departure from the way EA Sports in each version next to some improvements to implement even serious errors seems complete. Thus, I am a long-time players of the FIFA series very relieved to finally be able to find an elementary advancement. From a milestone (as it then FIFA 98 represented) to speak, I think, although exaggerated, but still close. The announcement by EA new development team has done a great job for his first year. Some important elements in a nutshell:

(+) Gameplay & Game Physics

So now is also in FIFA 07 ball and player separately (rather than as a unit) is calculated. It is this detail creates an imposing approach to Pro Evolution Soccer where this approach has long been standard. The result is amazing. Finally a realistic gameplay takes place.

Another restriction resulting from the new calculation effect strongly affects on the dribble. The leather remains now no longer stick to the bottom of the ball carrier and can therefore be a realistic and expired by the enemy. Thus the great annoyance long solo runs unhindered now falls away.

(+) Multiplayer option

For all those who like to play on a PC against each other, is here revealed that they now finally in Manager Mode again compared and compete with each other can (IMPORTANT: It can however only be selected a career team simultaneously).

(+) Game atmosphere

Even traditionally well is the background music of the entire game. The menu music is not necessarily everyone's taste, but at least at the usual good level.

The commentators (Tom Bayer and Sebastian Hellman) comment finally almost the same game, which also I see. The abundance of inappropriate comments has shrunk to a manageable level.

Has been significantly improved and the stadium atmosphere. Numerous and Situationsabhängigere chants create a realistic stadium experience. For example, the applause is significantly lower if the away team scores a goal. A special event is also set at a replacement of the audience favorite, but here the people react indignantly and something you consider as a coach only twice.

(+/-) Menu and game graphics

Just to answer all possible questions should be noted here that FIFA 07 is not particularly developed in terms of graphics. Especially the audience animation should be revised. Also on the menu structure has except for a few additional options not changed particularly.

(-) Offensive AI of computer opponent

The biggest annoyance is unfortunately a serious. As can be read from the point Gameplay & Game physics, the game itself is a lot more realistic than in previous versions. The computer plays well thought out and drops the ball good run up, yes to ...: to the penalty area. Enemy Shots are rare and then often frightening harmless. Only on difficulty level world-class is possible for experienced players a first challenge. There definitely Nachholungsbedarf!

For beginners ie an absolute buy recommendation. Advanced warmly recommend the free demo. If this is too easy, the game is perhaps inappropriate.
