Can football be as engaging as slaughtering monsters and baddies? The obvious retort should be a powerful thumbs down. But Electronic Arts have over the past decade shown otherwise with their massively well-liked FIFA series. The game has been one of the best selling games in recent history. Nevertheless over the years fans have whinged of weakness in the gameplay which would be apparent in a game with no a storyline. However the '09 offering of the series takes care of all the grumbles.
Gameplay :
What are you able to insist on from a game called FIFA? Precisely! Football. You may have as many combinations as possible with pass ( X ), cross ( Square ), through-ball ( Triangle ) and shoot ( Circle ) as you try to triumph over your opponents. By means of the regular sprint ( R shoulder ) and skill ( L shoulder ), more moderen moves like scoop turns, rainbow flicks, heel-to-heel knocks and ball rolls let you've got a total of thirty two moves to play soccer similar to a professional.
The more modern version lets you get points by performing match day tasks. As you accrue more points, you have the opportunity to boost your soccer abilities.
