This time around it seems that EA really wants to make the game better than PES. Its a lot more realistic and real enjoyable to play. This is definitely the best Fifa game. The new first touch control is pretty cool, you just have to get used to it, and use it at the right times. It could be used agaisnt your advantage if not done right. All the other controls are about the same. With the new lobbing system, as I like to call it, crossing the ball is much better. You can still cross the ball the good old fashion way, but with the double tap of the lob button you can now send a hard low cross for any of your players to smash in the net. You can also press the left trigger button to send an early cross. The player animations are much better, and executing trick moves is easier and more effective than last year's edition. You can now also create your own tournament which is awesome, set up tournaments with your friends and really enjoy the competion. In the end, Fifa 2005 really does exceed all the other soccer titles. And with PES not having that many soccer rights to use authentic players or teams, although now they improved, they still dont match fifa. Fifa 2005 still has the best graphics of any soccer game and sound as well. Fifa is worth your purchase.
