Great in every way except one.

I think EA sports did a great job with this one.
One thing I look for in a sports sim is not just game play but managing ability too. This game truly combines the two. Whether you like just playing or managing a team to build a dynasty - this game has it all.
This game will take a bit getting used to but once you figure it out - man is the game play great. You can see the details on the players and the field and the commentating is pretty decent (doesn't get too repetitious as other games do). I like the realistic passing - not every pass is a sure thing and the ability to change playing style (counter attack, etc) on the fly. Scoring goals isn't a gimme but it just makes it better.
Managing - this is where EA excels. As a coach you have a good amount of control. From emails from your owners about ticket pricing to scouting and handling your staff - its great. Your are gauged not just by wins but by revenue so you have to make smart decisions on all aspects of it.
IMHO - One true test is how addictive a game is even months after you buy it and this is one such game. I continue to play it and enjoy it even a few months after buying it.
The Tournament setup is neat. You can create your own tournmanet (international teams or just club teams) and setup the groups etc. A very nice feature.
**BUT the one BIG missing piece is that there is no world cup tournament by default. You can't just select and play qualifiers and get to the world cup and play. That was a BIG miss on EA's part. You can play a single friendly game and create a WORLD cup tournament using the tournament setup but there isn't one by default, which kinda takes away from it.
I alsow would have liked to see the ability to manage the international teams but maybe there is less to that so they didn't include it.
I highly recommend this game despite the missing world cup tourney feature.

Game is good, manager mode is fun and entertaining. Fairly hard game to learn, but once you get the hang of it the game plays well. like the online manager mode, and the option to jump in when u want is nice.

Fifa 06 Xbox and PC1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I have played FIFA 06 for xbox and PC and I have to say it is amazing. There are plenty of teams club and int'l, but does lack Holland again(licenseing). The game play is slowing getting better for EA. Took me awhile to score my first goal but you slowly learn this game rewards passing more and more. The manager mode is very entertaining. MOre sponsers to choose from make it more interesting. They also have included new Nike 90 balls.
Down side is still EA's game being more 'arcade' style versus KONAMI. Lack of Int'l tourney as well. Not too much downside though.
Overall I would suggest this game due to the great amount of players and teams in this game as well as the beautiful graphics. Next up for EA needs to be ball physics.

Fifa Soccer 06 for XBoxBrand new, great game. I bought it because I just got a used XBox and it was a perfect addition to my new system. Fifa is the best game in the history of the universe. '06 is a great version of Fifa.

i like it cuz its soccor. i dont because it is different from the xbox 360. The graphics could be better. But i think it should be the same exact game as for the 360.

Could be betterReview created: 12/07/06
by:
Love soccer, and I love the ability to play my local team ReAL SALT LAKE. However, there's pretty substantial flaws in this game that make things difficult. On the ball control is stiff. The game automatically changes players for you to the player closest to the ball, but it often makes mistakes and transfers you to goofy players. The camera angles are limited to far away shots. Control of replays is nil. Sometimes the other team scores goals that are nearly impossible, but you can't score very simple goals (it seems because the other team may be rated as a better team, so it forces them to win).

Great gameIf you are a soccer fan this is the game a buy. The action is realistic, the moves are fluid and the manager mode is exciting. I loved playing this game. The manager mode could have been made more in depth but it was great as it is. Nothing is better than beating a friend 1 on 1 with a top corner shot in the 90th minute. A must buy.

When the product finally arrived it was in good condition. Unfortunately, I ordered it at the beginning of the FIFA World Cup Soccer tournament and received it a month and a half (1 1/2) after the tournament was over.
The reason was that they ran out of copies...if you don't have the copy, don't sell it!
