EA sport's titles are known for their extensive license agreements with players and leagues. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in their FIFA titles,and this year is no exception. Gameplay and player control are very important when talking about soccer simulators. the game controls well but it is not great. Getting a through ball to your teammates is very addictive.but there is a lay off function which allows you to improve the path of your ball by guiding by guiding the pass with the analog stick. performing feints at the right time with someone else than Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldinho is another sore spot. Dribbling is'nt great during standard gameplay.With Ronaldinho you'll be able to perform insane moves with a flick of the analog stick. It is to control the pace and direction of a shot. Free kicks are easier to control. The ability to add top,side or backspin makes for a lot of fun.FIFA fanatics will have no problem picking up the game and winning in world class difficulty.the legendary level is another story altogether. You'll think the computer cheats! so is the game. you might even throw the controller a few times if you let it get you. several levels of difficulty is agood thing thoug, it allows begginers and experts to enjoy alike. The graphics are of high quality. The stadiums look great as do the movements. Player likenesses are accurate but not as extensive as licenses.The world's best players likenesses's are well captured, but there is paucity between second and third tier proffesionals. The crowds are realistic and unique. Sound and commentary are very good. A lot of effort went into song selection also.overall, the settings are what set this title apart from the previous versions and the competitions.A must buy for soccer fanatics.
