I want to like it but I just can't.

User Rating: 5.2 | FIFA Soccer 06 PC
I've been playing football simulation for the last decade at least and FIFA for me was always the front runner, if not the only runner, up until the groundbreaking Pro Evolution Soccer 3 arrived on the scene -- it changed our perception of how a football game should be: a down to earth, playable and seem-real classic like PES 3.

'At least make it believable' is a phrase we're more than used to from films, tv series etc. and it applies perfectly to this game. It's flashy, it's good looking but it just doesn't seem right. The physics, the gameplay, the movement of the ball on the field, frankly everything except the menus and other otherwise unimportant things. I'm sorry but it does seem to me that the developers of this game have never gone out and played a 'good clean fun' game of football with their friends. In a nutshell, I think it's more arcade than simulation.
