Football for Tekken generation

Shortly before the release of FIFA 07 I took the opportunity to me to fish the discounted predecessor. I actually play more PES 5, to me is the FIFA series but still phenomenal memories (FIFA 98 - with Hall mode), although later parts of the series against Konami's works had no chance.

Well, what can you say? FIFA 06 is undoubtedly a nice little game. Graphics and presentation are in Ordung, the musical accompaniment, unlike the PES not producing nausea, the number of existing (and licensed) Teams phenomenal. Game modes, there are some core is the "manager mode", in which for 15 years trying to run various club to the top, in a greatly simplified way manages the club and score and promotes. Quite nice and roughly comparable with the Champions League at Konami.

Unfortunately, only very mediocre presents itself at the FIFA game. Why for Tekken - well, because at FIFA nor the football mind is crucial for success, but etc..Ohne memorizing as many abstruse button combinations this is a reasonable Playmaking not feasible because the AI ​​by itself hardly ordinary walking distances - Generation brings about or responding to ideas. Example: winger back not to tidy striker hardly try, freewheel and double passing game is due to the stupidity of the AI ​​impressive're practically there. Most goals are scored by going it alone (which then are told as possible if you as many "moves" - as in a fighting game - memorizing.

This is for me the big difference to PES 5: there is a good build-up play is even at the highest difficulty level alone through ideas, Overview and football expertise possible, without necessarily any tricks etc. memorize. Dribbling can be realized by skillful pace Variant ions - and no thumb sprain.

In Résumé FIFA is a decent game, but that is quickly frustrating and boring. Potential is always there when EA would sometimes concentrate on the core of the game, a decent AI installs and dispensed with frills. Imagine licenses and presentation of FIFA combined with the playability of PES 5 before - sweet dreams, everyone! :-)
