FIFA Soccer 06

Game is very old and you should never by it because it stinks and 07 for the PS2 is way better. Now I don't care what IGN says becasue there wrong and i'm right beleave me it stinks and I hate it.

Very fun. I wish they came up with more tricks. The off-ball-players control is very good. Realistic. Would recommend

i bought this as a gift and the recipient loved it.

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!

FIFA Soccer 06 its a good game but it could have been so much better with just a couple of changes, and i'm not talking about things that have never been done before, but stuff they've done in previous fifa games. I remember FIFA Road to the World Cup 98 from Sega Saturn it had so many stats, options that you felt really in charge of the game. Not like FIFA 06 where you cant control your player when the goalie from the other team has the ball, you have to guess to what teammate you're passing the ball because they dont highlight what player you're going to pass, in stop balls you cant pass it to a player thats behind you nor pinpoint where do you want the ball to go to. And dont get me started about the goalies if they have a 50 or a 99 rating they stop all your shots, you can shoot 20 times and they stop you the 20 times but if they only have 1 shoot they score, it so frustrating!! i could go on and on with a bunch of little things that could make this game a lot better. It's like they didnt test the game with people who really know soccer, they took away a lot of great features of their previous games. They center all there energy in graphics, teams and players names and stats that i think they forgot whats important. This review can also be used for FIFA 06 World Cup the only difference is that it's only national teams and that they took some good features off but they improve some bad ones.

I've been loyal to FIFA Soccer but i'm really thinking of traying Winning Eleven, if they dont start focusing in the game and to the graphics.
