Description
EA Sports takes players back to the field with FIFA SOCCER 06 for the Xbox. Featuring nearly ever soccer team in existence and hundred of players, plus tweaks in game play and several new additions. Gamers will first notice the slight changes in controlling their teams. The passing and dribbling controls have been fine-tuned, allowing gamers to control nearly every aspect of the game. Each player has a strength rating that comes into effect when passing, as does the amount of weight players put behind the kick. A new shooting method, called the Optimized Shot Meter, requires more control and attention, as well. All of these realistic details make gamers feel like they're actually in the game and in control of everything. Manager mode now requires players to keep their club's budgets and handle purchases. Players have to decide how much to spend on staff, recruiting, stadium expenses, and other items. Then gamers have to decide if they want to sign with a sponsor to bring in extra income. All of this adds up to create a game that requires managers to really manage their team. FIFA SOCCER 06 contains all of the modes that made the previous FIFA SOCCER games great, including season, tournament, shoot-out, and verses modes. Voice-over commentary for the 06 version is provided by Clive Tydsley and Andy Gray. Soccer fans will enjoy hearing their expert commentary throughout the season as they recruit, train, and guide a soccer club to victory in FIFA SOCCER 06.

Special Features
The deepest ever 15 year manager mode. How will you fare in the chaotie of the football manager; new intuitive game play engine for a fast and attacking football experience. You are in complete control; mould FIFA 06 into your own personalised football world. As much as you want, whenever you want; 26 leagues and 10,000 players, FIFA 06 is the definitive football experience; with up to 8 players in the action, play offline with friends to see who the ultimate FIFA 06 champion really is.

    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.
