**For those interested in Football(soccer), EA have released a demo for their upcoming version of Fifa, it is promised to be revolutionary with it’s “first touch” features among many other fantasic features (hint the sarcasm…) **
My take on the demo:
We all know fifa has had its downfalls in the past years. especially with the awesome release of PES3 on the pc last year, fifa really has some tough competition. This year i was somewhat suprised with the feel of fifa, the players move really well and the in game play seems more about moving the ball around , than being able to run through the team with your fastest or best player, passing and player control is much improved and the whole flow to the game seems more fluid and releastic. Most aspects of the game has improved from last years version, i especially like the throw ins. With that said there are many things i still dislike in the fifa series which still remain in this years release, to name a few:
:the terrible corner kick system from last year,
:the too easy free kick system,
:being able to score more than 2 times out of 5 from wayyyyy long distance.
:face models looks a little stretched.
Yes i know its just a demo, but most of the things mentioned are not to be fixed (eg…corner kick system) Graphics will most probably be cleaned up, aswell as the commentry (not featured in the demo) when added will probably spice up the action.
I have a strong feeling even when fifa05 is at the final release that PES4 (Winning eleven 8) is going to blow fifa05 out of the water.
