When this game came out i didn`t know what to expect. I eagerly clicked the exe and started playing just waiting to be dissapointed by it. I was expecting this to be FIFA '06 + 1 but as i played through it and saw all the new stuff it has, i gradually stared enjoying it rather than trying to find its flaws. The ball physics and the shooting mechanism are probably the biggest differences as compared to last years` less than amazing game. You don`t have the same 10 or so shots that u take over and over again, this time each goal is unique and this gives the replayability of this game a real boost. Now passing has changed also, you can now controll to which player u want to ass the ball to by how long u keep the pass key pressed. This is a very neat touch and adds that little bit of extra controll you need. Also, the ball`s trajectory after hitting something is very unpredictable making it very close to the real game.

Some other features in the Manager mode are also pretty nice. Like the youth accademy that gives you the possibility to promote young (17, 18 year old) players into your squad, these players aren`t very skilled at first but their skills increase much quicker than those of the other players and if you`re lucky you might come accross the next wayne rooney.

Goalkeepers act more naturally and the whole atmosphere on the pitch is that little bit closer to the real thing. I`d reccomend this to every FIFA fan who was dissapointed by '06.
