obviously choosing the player/manger option is all of the above. As a manager the whole thing is much slower due to the fact that you most deal with the press, transfers and team selection meaning that you have to ‘play’ most days instead of letting the game skip to the next match. As a player you have no say in transfers or the team setup but are almost guaranteed to play so no worries there. The Career mode is spilt into three types, you can choose to be a player, a manager or a player/manager but the experience differs very little.
The Pro matches let you play as just your created player and have no control on the rest of the team, these can be tricky because of the over reliance on the computer to control the rest of your team. Exhibition matches let you pick any two teams from any of 30 different leagues from around the world as well as national teams.
Obviously the series has come a long way since then, but old football games were fun and uncomplicated so has the realism brush been used too heavily?įIFA is broken down into the usual modes of Exhibition match, Pro matches, Career Mode, Online Matches and training in the arena. EA have been proudly making sports games for 20 years now, a fact they boast about constantly in FIFA 12, and they’ve been making the FIFA series itself since FIFA International Soccer graced the stores back in 1993.
Should probably mention at this point that as a proud citizen of her majesty’s British Isles, I will always call football football and never call it soccer. I kid, I love football games but this is actually the first FIFA game I’ve owned since World Cup 98 came out on the N64 so I really am coming at this as a new comer. Well the football season has started once again and that can mean only one thing there’s a new FIFA game out for the masses to pretend they’re actually the best players in the world.
