For football fans ideal, but also for casual gamers, the "pin" Just looking drauflos want

Although I like not interested so good for football (except for European and World Championships), I bought earlier one or the other FIFA offshoot (the last was FIFA 2004). Then it occurred to me, it's the same thing every year, and from then on I let it alone. After almost 5 years I dared another try because I wanted to have a football offshoot of the PS3 for quite some time.

The gameplay has been consistently improved and is no longer so far away from Pro Evolution Soccer as they did a few years. The ball physics seems believable that teammate AI is mostly alright, even if they sometimes still do not quite think along, especially in situations when you want to play in the free space or one fits and the player who is to receive the ball, stops, while the opponent then catches the ball. Something like that sometimes comes before.

The graphics for a football game and as one would expect from FIFA fantastic. Great shadows and lighting effects are first the tip of the iceberg. Outstanding are the player models, were mainly for known people like Phillip Lahm, Frank Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, very well made. In addition, they also have their strengths charakterischen such that Philip Lahm acts very quickly, while Ronaldinho delivers magical shots and literally playing with the ball.

The game modes and licenses convince. As you would expect from FIFA, almost all leagues in the world are present, all the players and there are some well-known stages. In addition, would also be mentioned that the values ​​of the players to be adapted to their behavior and appearance in the real Liga on request by the Adidas Live Season. A constantly running Infoticker informed football fans all over the world sports news. In addition, there is the "Be a Pro" mode, where you take the role of a player for several seasons and improves it. A manager mode is also present, tournaments can be played online is even a 10 to 10 people in the form of the Be a Pro spectacle in there and that's due to the headset support well-functioning very funny and exciting.

To criticize would be a sometimes not quite ausgreifte KI's own players, and the absence of varying weather within a game, fog and snow, and the fact that there is no hall mode. Through a patch the known of the PS3 trophies still came and additional motivation.
