Furthermore, the satisfaction you'll get from humiliating an opponent with just one tap of the right analog stick (we really don't recommend trying to play with the keyboard, because, oddly, the shift key is used to toggle the arrow keys between left and right analog stick functions) is almost akin to scoring a goal against him or her. As a result, skilled strikers can create scoring opportunities out of thin air by embarrassing their markers with a single touch. The ability to determine how your players control the ball at the exact moment it reaches them might not sound like a big deal, but its ramifications are extraordinary, because playing realistic passing-style soccer is now more feasible and satisfying. FIFA Soccer 2005 retains all the off-the-ball functionality of last year's offering and adds convincing ball physics (the ball doesn't stick to players' feet anymore) and some excellent first-touch gameplay mechanics to the mix. FIFA Soccer 2004 focused on off-the-ball player movement, for example. This year's biggest improvement is the introduction of first-touch controls.Įvery year, EA Sports makes a point of improving one key aspect of its soccer games. But to set aside the competition for a moment, FIFA Soccer 2005 is definitely the best FIFA game to date.

The line separating the two series has become increasingly blurred in recent years, and this year is no exception, as both games are still seemingly seeking to emulate the other's strengths. EA Sports' offerings, on the other hand, have generally felt a little more arcadelike than realistic, but the games have always looked extremely sharp, and they let you take control of real teams comprising real players that wear real uniforms. Traditionally, Konami's offerings have boasted more-realistic gameplay but have faltered in the areas concerned with presentation, specifically due to the lack of licensed team and player names. Like rival soccer teams eager to show off their newly acquired players at the start of a new season, these two series show up with a host of new features every 12 months in the hope that each will finally score a convincing victory over the other. In the world of soccer games, there are really only two serious contenders for the championship title at this point: Konami's Winning Eleven games (Pro Evolution Soccer in Europe) and EA Sports' FIFA Soccer series.
