FIFA 11 (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

The graphics do a good job in this game, and although I suspect in future football games the graphics will be better on the DS, this version of FIFA 06 has some nice graphical touches, such a rain, snow and also clouds passing shadows over the pitch.

It's clever because by limited the players you have access to, when you get a new set it feels really exciting. After your payment has been processed, the content will be downloaded to the applicable system linked to the respective Nintendo Account, or respective Nintendo Network ID in the case of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family systems. With new player models and body types, new customisations options and new online modes this is the ultimate version of the ultimate football game. This makes no sense to me because the team you originally get given are hopeless, and the temptation to max out your teams skills are too much given the original abilities the players have.Dive attributes will determine the keepers with the ability to reach for further shots while reflex attributes determine reaction times, so a keeper like Petr Cech of Chelsea FC will be able to showcase world-class skills.

Bringing big match action to life on your DS, FIFA 08 includes stacks of new features that will put you on the pitch like never before.Challenge your rivals in the hottest locales around the world, everywhere from Brazil to London to the streets of France. The squad never resets itself, this is very frustrating as every game you have to rearrange your squad. All seems to be going fairly well in your team creation even up to the point to designing what each player should look like from a selection of options including face, build, hair do’s etc. defender trick system creates head-to-head battles as you move up the pitch, performing dozens of elaborate new tricks to throw the defender off-balance. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

If you can create a team without the temptation to max out their skills or even leave them as they originally are, then you can enjoy this option as you would get great satisfaction from playing you team in career mode and trying to earn ‘Prestige’ points with them. This is perhaps the most surprising aspect of the game, the game does a decent job of the sound effects, the menus have songs playing in the background like the console versions of the game and it also has in game commentary. Some other bugs include intervening in a game you chose to simulate and watch the minute by minute text commentary, when intervening although you play as your team, the player names and stamina bars displayed are always for the opposite team, which can be extremely confusing.

Pro Passing System— A new passing system where pass accuracy is determined by a gamer’s ability on the control pad, and player skill, situation and urgency on the pitch. Your attacking will be improved by smarter player runs and improved passing physics, giving you more options.
