Summary: A disappointment 2005-11-03
Comment: FIFA 2005 is one of the worse FIFA games by EA sports. I love watching and playing soccer but this game isn't right. They are very inconsistant with their FIFA games year after year. I have FIFA 2004 and that was fun. I was good with FIFA 2004, but like many reviewers say, it's not easy to score on FIFA 2005. Good players don't perform the way they should and there aren't much spins to the ball. Players don't that have, "flexibility" like they did with 2004. It's a total disappointment. When it comes to EA games, I always and only love NHL series, even though I don't play hockey. It's a great game. If you're good playing NHL 2001, you will be good with 2K2, 2K3 and so on. But this doesn't apply to FIFA. You're good with one year, you have to adapt to the playability to the next. Hope they're better with 2K6.
Did I mention you can't swap players? That's right, you can't trade all on the good players on your team. The menu music is terrible too. They get a 2-star because the graphics and the character's look are astonishing. Other than that, no more pros.
Bottomline to FIFA 2005, don't buy it unless you want to collect it.

Summary: BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD 2005-10-22
Comment: This game is one of the worst soccer games i have ever seen. The animation is bad. The control is even worse. I just couldn't believe my eye. Eventhough FIFA 04 isn't a great game at all, it is still way better than this. Get winning 11, if you want a great soccer game. EA is making this franchise worse, and worse every single year. I still wonder how worse next years version will be. They are really killing this franchise.

Summary: Arcade version, not a simulation 2005-02-10
Comment: If you want to play football without much control depth then choose this over the European "Pro Evolution Soccer 4" (title is "Winning 11" in the US) and if you have heard the buzz surrounding that game then you should know that it is in the top three sports simulations of all time.
Winning 11 however is not an out-of-box game, taking days to learn, weeks to master and then improve on with other players. FIFA works straight out of box, is easy, but its limits become all too obvious in light on Winning 11, a game has been in development since the Nintendo 64 and is easily the best soccer engine out there.
The bottom line is that if you want a soccer game that works out of box, that you can play almost right away with anybody, then FIFA has it. If you want a real soccer sim that takes longer to get into but is far better, then choose Winning 11.

I doubt to many people are purchasing the 2005 version but if you are please reconsider, not one of the better years for the game.
