| Great introduction, mediocre continuation to the FIFA line. |
If this is your first taste of EA's FIFA line of games, then you will be in for a treat. If you are a fan, this review is for you.
In Manager Mode you can train your player in cool, interactive ways, but your training time is limited, and once you have used it up you cannot gain it back. This is a bitter sweet improvement on previous FIFA Manager Modes.
The gameplay is a step down. The direction stick for the PSP is terrible for fluid motion, making navigating your players difficult, and aiming your shots nearly impossible. The double-team option is much less effective than last year. When shooting a penalty kick you can only aim left or right not up or down. When you are near the goal you are given the option of pressing L for a "finesse shot". And for anyone who wishes to score a goal this is a silly option (because of the issue with aiming). And if you press L after you shoot you get a lob shot. This makes for many unexpected and very frustrating lop shots. The passing is random at best. In pinch situations I often find myself wondering who I'm going to get the ball passed towards. Even the "direct" passes go to space, which is a blessing and a curse, especially in those "rare" situaton when you want a direct pass to go directly to the intended receiever. And the "through ball" often sails past the intended target, moving him out of position. As for the AI, my only complaint is that the game often appears to have its "mind made up" way too early. When the AI steal the ball from you a lot of the time it appears as though they are sliding you away from ball, or just old fashioned kicking "through" your legs.
Many will be pleased with the game. But people like me who just wanted a verson of FIFA to play on their PSP, I think you will find yourself frustrated often. Buy the game anyway, just consider yourself warned. |

| VERY FUN AND ADDICTIVE |
HEY THERE EVERYONE, IF U ARE THINKING TWICE OF GETTING THIS GAME U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURE SELF. THERES NO NEED TO THINK TWICE FOR THIS GAME, THIS GAME IS THE BOMB AND VERY ADDICTIVE TO PLAY ESPECIALLY WHEN U PLAY IT ON LINE WITH OTHER GAMERS. I STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME ON LINE AND HAD SOME GOOD CONFRONTATIONS WITH OTHER GAMERS WHO I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY ARE, THEY COULD BE RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK FROM WHERE I LIVE OR THEY CAN BE AS FAR AS LONDON OR WHO KNOWS. THE GAME FEATURES ARE GREAT WITH A EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF TEAMS FROM DIFFERENT AREAS. 500 PLUS TEAMS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH AND U WILL SPEND HOURS TRYING TO GET EVERY TROPHY. GET THIS GAME AND U WILL GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH. |
