Fifa 07 is the newest edition to the Fifa series with massive improvements made from Fifa 06. EA have once again made a fantastic football simulator game, improving every aspect of the beautiful game.
A big addition to the game is the improved crowd reactions. It really makes a difference. Long gone the days when the crowds just sing the same song over and over again. Now EA have made the two sets of supporting crowds act different to each decision.
Once again Martin Tyler and Andy Gray provide the commentry for the matches. They now have a wider range of comments due to EA providing a special version for the Xbox 360. This allows the Xbox to pick up a much wider range of data than all the other consoles. I have even noticed now that you can get man of the matches.
Well, the game-play is phenominal, liek most new games on the xbox the graphics are gorgeous. The attention to detail the producers have done is great as it provides a real feel that you are actually playing.
Also, EA have included signiture moves and signiture free-kicks from several of the top players. I have only just noticed this the other week when i scored a scorcher from a free-kick. Furthermore, last week when i had a tough champions league draw againt Barcelona i noticed that Ronaldiho does his signature move. Once again due to the better AI of the game.
Another massive improvement to the game is the fact that now the manager mode money is now measured in pound sterling[£]. This is so much easier than the points system which i thought was very boring as you didn't really know how much you were buying players for.
Online play is breath-taking, it doesn't lag like other games and lets you have a much better challenge against friends or family. Or even one of the best players of the game. After playing against the computer for a cuple of weeks, i worked out their weaknesses[yes they do have them] and it was from there on a pretty easy game for me. But, once i got onto Xbox Live, it was a completely different story. Every player is different and it provides a real challenge. I would definately recommend playing on it.
Yet again they have included the ability to change players and customize them. This is one of the reasons i prefer the Ffa games to the Pro Evolution games. You can even change around the clubs and what league they play in.[I always love to tamper around with different clubs]
Although it has massive improvements, there are bad points[as always with games] one of the main points in my opinion is the lack of leagues to play in on the Xbox 360. I read somewhere on the internet that the reason for this is the amount of time they put into graphics, this left the short of time to add every league in. But its not too bad as you have the main leagues to play in.[But, if you would like to play as you small local team, its not happening].
Overall this is an absolute peach of a game. Excellent in pretty much every way. With the graphics being phenominal and crowds being so much more realistic it really is a must buy for any football fan. If you only buy these games to play as the smaller clubs. Don't! But anyone else you should buy it especially if you have Xbox Live
Advantages: Fantastic Online Play Disadvantages: Lack of teams.graphics poor at times
...my first high defenition,next gen fifa experience.as a fan of fifa titles for years i was very excited.
On loading up menus they are very well presented with games modes such as as managers carreer and quick play and the option to play on xbox live which includes a lobby room where you can choose to play against an opponent of similiar skills.
On choosing the game mode in which you want then its off to team selection where there are only 6 leauges ... ...them have featured in all fifa games throughout the years.The strange thing is i own the same game on psp which has all leauges and teams it seems ea is trying to short change there 360 owners with this game with no reasonable explanation for these shortcuts.
On starting the match the graphics look nice and crisp and the players sprites move around really well with good detail however on close up of certain players in replays etc they look like ...

Advantages: Great fun, Great Graphics Disadvantages: Small errors, commentry, goalkeeper physics.
...as with all of the Fifa games is to make the game enjoyable, yet realistic.
the question is, was this achieved here?
the answer - yes and no.
Although the game is amazing in graphics and fun to play, what it lacks is certain vital elements of the beautiful game.
Can anyone score from anywhere, or from the half way line 90% of the time? i think not..
and if the ref lets play on can he still give a card?
The goalkeeper has the worst physics i ... ...believe are still present in Fifa 08)
However that said, i play this game every day over our works network without interruption and it is fantastic fun and part of the beauty of the game is those mistakes.
Additions to previous fifa games are spectacular, especially the graphics and the crowd reactions!
commentry is still slow and sometimes lags - such as calling a goal 30 seconds after it has hapened...
nevertheless, i would recommend buying ...

Advantages: Great Gameplay and Graphics Disadvantages: Not Enough Leagues
Fifa 2007 for the 360 is the new way in football gaming. The new relaism in players features and clubs and the new actions on the pitch including celebrations and different player reactions to fouls and cards. You can bring players from the youth team and can get scouts to travel the world to look for new players to improve your squad. The new experience of the highs and lows of the footballing world as this game is very addictive and has the new ... ...days. Only one bad thing is that there is only 6 leagues and they have taken out Championship and abroad leagues of Belguim, Sweden and Brazil. The close gameplay of keeping the ball close and sprinting away to score stunning goals or assit a player to score makes the game seem much more realistic. The small amount of goals keeps the score realistic and even Semi Pro is difficult to play on in the new installment of EA Sports Fifa. This game is much ...

Advantages: New finesse shot buttons Disadvantages: Crashes like other fifas
II have recently purchased fifa 2007 and find this game very entertaining. The graphics have improved from the previous fifa game, and player movements are much smoother and realistic. The addition of finesse shot buttons also contribute to the more lifelike football gameplay, these buttons are used for placing a shot wether it be the top or bottom corners of the goal.
Things i didnt like about this game, Ea sports are still yet to add a way of ... ...kick the ball away with a shot!! Like all fifa games i have played they have a habit of crashing!! There are a few gliches in the game nothing major just responses, and artificial intteligence mistakes, but overall i really enjoy this game the best fifa to date!! Thumbs up ...

Advantages: great gamplayt great graphics great everything Disadvantages: none really
the best. My personnel choice would be halo 2 as there are so many people online there is always a match that you can play. There are also many more great games like Fifa07 online as well which there loads of people are online to.
now that the price of the Xbox360 premium console is coming down to about 200 from 275 I think that allot more people will be going to get one and now that the games have come down form 49.99 to 29.99 now that the PS3 is out at an extortionate 450 pound
I think that the main thing that held the Xbox back at release was that there just weren't enough units produced and the huge waiting list I got my Xbox in February but then I had to wait for all the games to come out but it was well worth the wait for such a great console
There are rumours of Microsoft's next console coming out in 2012 but who knows what will ...

Advantages: The closest thing you will get to real football Disadvantages: Licenses and commentary
the next installment.
I picked the game up for £29.99 from www.amazon.co.uk. It is superb value for money and I highly recommend it.
Personal Opinion
In my opinion, this game is an abosulte must if you want ultra realistic football. People will always like Fifa07 because of its licesnsed kits, music and graphics. However, those three components do not make a football game. The game itself runs very smoothly, with a wide array of game modes. The online mode is second to none and you will play this for months. I have played this and also FIFA07 on the XBOX360 and I have to say, Pro Evolution Soccer has delivered the goods - there is no better, purer or exciting football game than Pro Evolution Soccer 6. Konami have hit the back of the net once again. ...
With the 2006 FIFA World Cup over and the glamour of international football fading fast, the players are now back to their daily jobs of winning glory for their club in EA SPORTS FIFA 07.
From the first whistle, FIFA 07 throws you into the rollercoaster ride of a football season and the intense stadium atmosphere of every home and away match.

New intelligent AI ensures that your 11 men on the pitch make realistic decisions, finding space and passing like professionals. A complete overhaul of the game engine now means that you have to employ real world tactics, make realistic decisions and think like a player in order to win matches.
