Fifa 07
Is This The Year They Out Do Pro Evo


Quick Summary

Well this year fifa have slaved there asses off to try and beat pro by even changing there personel. i can honestly say no there way way off ok will get a few of the pro evo players who have enjoyed playin the new fifa n love it, yes it is the best fifa they've ever done but its same old same old just with a new feel. so lets get this review on the way. to all the hardcore pro evo fans keep an open mind as i'm a hardcore pro evo player.

Gameplay

This time around fifa have overcome there sheer lack of crappy gameplay and have come up with a formaula which does work to a certain extent, moving the ball around the pitch is easy and fluid yet there are some down sides and good sides;

Passing
good points
passing has really come on the thru balls and crosses most of the time you can are goodand even the normal passing feels as tho its alot more fluid between one another.

bad points
yes every game has bad points but its fifa lol yes its always the same old bad points with the game. crosses and thru balls are just what im talking about yes ive mentioned it in the good points but ur'll see it all over the review there good points have there down sides, an example is when your passing the ball around they control it in away an amertaur player wud control it. crosses just never seem to be able to get it exactly where you want it, the power bar is useless. there always seems an ergencies to keep goin while pro let you build up, most of the time you can run at them and thats the best part of the game yet a bad part.

Shooting
Good Points
you can score lol yep thats it no good points

Bad points
it's always the same with fifa we know how it feels to score in pro evo omg an acheivement, every shot after about 4 they just end up being the same, they haven't figured out if ur running across the goal you can shoot and get it on target not wiv fifa most of the time even if you press in the direction of the goal ur gonna more times n not hit more at the corner flag now if any of u play football n r a striker u no we all can run across goal and kick it side ways and still got it on target. there just doesnt seem like theres any point in aiming a shot in the top corner mite aswell run straight and goal and shoot and i garentee 9 out of 10 times your'll get it in.

Wow lets move on to the physics this amazing thing what i keep hearing about from people and whole lot of reviews i yet to see what so special and where is it really? all i c is the same yet just inhanced a lil bit but yea every game i play if it a rebound off them no matter wat there player will find it yet wen they it and rebound it my player never gets it there always a player there from them.

i'll admit that the hardest of the game has stepped up a tiny bit it does give you a little bit of a challenge for the one reason u have a trick stick wat is shite sorry for the langauge but it is, so hard to pull off a trick it unbelieveble not because im not doin it rite it just that they dont responed straight away and what they have done is gave the tricks more to the main players yet some of the tricks u can do wiv the brilliant players yet cant do with the minor players r tricks what all footballers do, they have there short burst trick yet there short burst is just kicking the ball further forward now they had all this figured out in fifa 2005 i admit there trick stick worked wonders easy to do tricks (at least tricks what the all do) and 05 had the burst yet it looked like a burst and did help in 07 it just messes things up.

i give the gameplay a 6/10 with a step up from what it used to be yet still the same old bugs really just hidden

6/10

Graphics

every fifa always had a problem with frame rates even on the 360 road to world cup that had frame rate problems and i was told it has been cut down more and theres near to no problems well truthfully there is even more frequent yet faster look closer and ur'll c it the screen flicker fast this is what they have flicked the screen fast enough to make sure people onli see it a lil n after awhile u forget and there rite yes u do if u been playin it for a gud few matches but once u turn it off n then go bak on ur'll c it, i've never believed tht fifa has the graphics right they all the same except from there head massive legs and bodies n small heads lol who ever said the graphics r good shut up dont make me laugh, there movements on the pitch just aint rite it still feels as tho tht ball is stuck to there feet .

for graphics i give it a respectable 7/10 and thats more for what you see off the pitch who says they have a realism to them, have a look at some key players i do not think they look like them, im a liverpool fan so i'll go off tht bellamy doesnt look like him or niether does kuyt, and to be honest none of em look tht good it quite close but so far.

7/10

Interface

The big one fifa always seems to get right, there music spot on, the rite colour the right look im affraid ittttssssss not the same lol it crap to b honest now who can tell me what the hell any of the picture u c in tht game, u get pictures of a dodger pitch with people playing football (ok bad examply but c the pic urself) or the stadium seats with a plant pot in the middle (y o y do i need a pic of tht), a stupid guy wavin his flag ( theres just no need its a football game not an art fair) and the best one of all a picture of stadium seats at the end of a crappy wood stadium, it shows a row of about 4 goin down the steps and behind it the crappy wall now to me when im waitin for things to load i wanna c liverpool there cheerin or other teams because at the start you choose who u support so i was thinkin this cud b gud i'll have a set up for liverpool nah the onli thing it does is wen u go for a friendly it already has ur choosen team waitin, really what is the point. there is a challenge part but the challenges are pretty straight forward win a match with a team wiv 2 stars against a team wiv 4, or win a match usin no subs.

lets get to the main part the manager mode my cuz hyped this up so much i was wetting myself i was tht excited that all the things u can do so as soon as i got it straight on low team build up what i got was an interface for a baby, no depth anywhere, its like so dumbed down its untrue, who says it so better than pro evo u name me one thing i can do on fifa wat i can do on pro. ok u can up grade your stadium wat hey how? well by just movin a a bar further across wow amazin lol theres no training in this part its just play your games anwser a few question off the press, read message about the same old the board r happy with u and then start all over again o and buy some players. they do have a team bonding things which i thought maybe they'd be a training thing to get them working together and of course i was wrong you just keep playing the same team over n over again, really its just a different way of looking at the master league except with the real leagues.

interface i'll give it a 4/10 sheerly because all they did was hide the manager mode in a spanky new look yet was the same old league its ever been.

4/19

Overview

rite well i think i've bored you all n hopefully its a little bit better insight into a game which is getting better yet the same old fifa.
to all the reviewer who say this can challenge pro evo to me from a hardcore gamer and a hardcore pro evo player who does have an open mind i cannot see how and where fifa even comes close even with the graphics and the licenses and i do believe thts the only edge fifa has but then i again i do love spending hours editing the names and kits it adds a little extra to the game than just football.

my over all score for fifa is 6/10 it is the same old fifa

thanks for reading and your comments are welcome

Blue I'm a big PES fan and my mate bought FIFA the other day and he brought it round mine and we had a game and I can honestly say I liked it the gameplay is a hell of a lot better than 06 and I beat him 4-2 I was Liverpool he was Man Utd and he's a true FIFA player. The one thing I noticed though is back numbers on the kits, On the keepers some of them are red and on the Liverpool away kit there black when they should be red. :unsure:

Played the demo and compared to Fifa 06 I was impressed.

They have devently improved the game. But I got the fealing it played like PES2.

They do have the licences, but fall on realism, because Wembley is finished and we all know its going to be Fifa 08 before wembley is finshed.

Same here. A mate of mine brought his copy of FIFA 07 over to mine a couple of days back and i quite enjoyed it! the keepers were shit but i think it was on an easy difficulty level. Apart from that i thought it played quite nicely. The 360 version is supposedly pretty damn good though.

Thanks for the review bezza2001. I think it is fair to a far extent and at the end I still had my old opinion about Fifa...it is a bad game and I prefer PES5 to Fifa07, no doubt......

I've also got FIFA 07 on the PS2 aswell mate and although the gameplay is better than the 360 version, i still think it's shit.

Here is my auction on ebay if anyone wants to buy it off me;

well i have been playin pro 4 years,makin goal comps,loosing jobs n girlfreinds so u can tell i was a tad Pro obsessed.But the new fifa IS BETTER than PES...
Serious..maybe pes 6 will be better,but i doubt konami will make hardly any changes as i think there scared 2 change there formula. Now that fifa is out i think there shittin themselves coz its 2 late 2 restart on pes 6. i maybe wrong pes 6 may come out and be amazin,
Fifa runs so smoothly,the passing is so slick,the movement,animations,commentary,manager mode,all the challenges all adds 2 help make it a brilliant game.
The ball pyhsics are excellant,allowing some swift moves,and the ball collision detection is perfect.
The animations in this game are by MILES the best seen in a footy game NO DOUBT.
The triks are so nice aswell,no more silly unrealisic sidesteps like pro,i mean really i know u dont like 2 admit it but that sidestep thing is SHIT and the slow stepovers.and i know u agree really!!
Celebrations in pes i have 2 say are an embarresment and its been stated years. Fifas look superb.
theres wot?6 leauges in pes? how many in fifa like 20 odd,i mean come on really it doesnt compare.
Counter attacks in fifa can literally be 2-4 passes from one end 2 the other very quickly and makes u feel a real sense of pace.Pes`s counterattcks were shit,basicaly relieng on a longball or chipped through ball and felt no real pace at all just a hoof.
In pes u hold R1 and R2 to move off the ball,literally running into and pushing players out of the way,which yes this move helped get onto balls but was weird just purposly running into players without the ref ever seeing the obstruction u were actually causing. In fifa u can move towards balls as they are played to u like say from a cross,and evry other type of pass u can receive. When its a goal kick the battles for position look briliant,real physical wars and it is crucial 2 be in the better position 2 win the header.

Next time u watch a Real footy match on tele,look at the general movement of the ball the pace of it,touches the players make,the controls the movement evrything and ask yourself,does pes look like this???
The honest awnser is no,and that cant be disputed im afraid,fifa looks very very near to real football

There is so much to type i cant be arsed anymore im gonna go play fifa,but seriously Pes players give this fifa a good playin because like i sed i used to play pes SOOOO much and never dreamt i would ever be posting this on the forums but i want u all to be told what i think because i was told by a sumone on a site 2 buy it ,i did and love it
Nice one

FIFA 07 is better than PES5? Big deal. None of us have seen PES6 yet so surely we have to wait until we do to draw a comparison?

I played the FIFA 07 demo with an open mind and found it lacking in many ways. If it was the only football game available on PC I'd be disappointed and still probably wouldn't bother buying it.

First of all i `ve been playing PES for nearly 8 years now since the series was named ISS(Winning Eleven 3) on the PS1,before ISS i only bought FIFA cause i thought it had everything but how wrong i was,in 2000 when i bought ISS for PS1 i was stunned,fantastic soccer sim eventhough it didn`t have the graphics at the time but it had gameplay, you enjoyed playing every game.Now as for the current gen KONAMI is lightyears ahead from EA in terms of gameplay,and having seen PES 6 i can say that it will be the best soccer game of the PES series,EA have done a very good job improving over 50% since last year FIFA 06,but still they are far behind from KONAMI.OK maybe FIFA 07 it has better out of the box contents,but i have one word PATCHES that`s it!!!!And besides that even if PES didn`t have any licences at all it would still have been the best,and my all time favourite soccer game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BELIEVE
I agree with Bezza for the most part, the other parts being what I haven't played yet. The ball physics are highly unrealistic though, maybe the worst so far ? However I can't tell as I just usually scratch the surface of most FIFA's. For example, Beckham plays a darted 60 yard pass across field, no one on the end of it. The ball doesn't slide or bounce into play it just seems to bounce unrealistically, the bounces seem to be so close together which wouldn't happen, especially for a darted pass. Then there is the matter of curling, the ball spins a little but swerves beyond imagination. You can get the right balance I find by holding the buttons diagnolly but you shouldn't have to do this to make the curl realistic to be fair.

Overall I think 6/10 is a reasonable judgement.

But we're comparing something a few people have seen to something most of us have played. It's always different when you're in control and cana test how the physics etc. feel.

i think if the pitch was a little bigger in pes/we it would be easier to make plays like in real life just like your describing there sensa. i feel that the players are too close together to each other because the pitch is too small and the camera angles dont help us at all, to me fifa2004 has the best camera angles and you know it too if you played fifa2004!

the ball bounces too much on the field when i pass it around and its kinda light. When passing the ball to another player the opponent comes first and steals the ball while my player just stands there like an idiot waiting for the ball to come towards him.

I'd be very pissed off if konami doesnt fix this little details by the ps3.
