Hail to the king
For a very long time when PES reigned at soccer sims genre,FIFA lacked a lot of things back then.My first impression based on demo gameplay was how easy it was to pick up and play,graphics also have been improved quite much since it's predecessor.Add in impact engine and new tactical defending system,you have one beautiful footy sim play for the whole season.
The controls are tighter than ever too,now player respond your commands even quicker,their reaction times (based on agility) greatly improved and referees try to keep play fluid unless both teams do something absolutely untolarable.The crowd chants and roars have aestetic yet athmosphericly impressive boost on gameplay.
All those greatness comes with a price though.Still the player faces aren't photorealistic as it's rival PES,pre-match ceremonies have been cut,new tactical defending system have it's fair share of faults and hard to master,some visual glitches and annoying commentors are even more annoying now.Anyhow if you love soccer you will overcome all these negatives and enjoy the most beautiful and techically advanced product on the market.
All hail to the king.
