Advantages: Gameplay and graphics

Disadvantages: Still could do with being a little sharper particularly turns

This is the game which finally puts the challenge of ISS Pro to sleep, or at least for now it does. There were several continuing problems and glitches with the fifa series but happily these have all been ironed out, one by one. There are many new features in this game including management mode which allows you to buy and sell players, as well as improving the standard of your current team by investing more money into a better standard of coaches. In addition to this, we also have the 10 vs 10 online mode, which allows each of the 10 people playing on each side to one person for the duration of the match. However as good as these features are, it is the gameplay and graphics in which this game really shines. The graphics are clearly superior to Pro Evo both stadiums really very realistic and thanks to the engine, many players are easy to recognise. It also ups the ante on Pro Evo by providing more life like characters as opposed to the slightly cartoonish detail of Pro Evo. The gameplay is slick and smooth, tackling is about timing, and passing and shooting take practice.

There are a few gripes notably the AI of goalkeepers at times, the turning could be sharper and the referees could be a little more consistent in their decision making. However these are minor issues and do not diminish for a very polished game. This deservedly wins the title of best football game. ISS Pro has it's work cut out that's for sure.

Summary: Takes the title this season
