The game offers three game modes: league, versus and World Cup.Your goal is to lead your team to the glory, win all matches and evolve your team.Ĭhoose your favorite team - it includes a large list of real teams- and lead it to glory. At first it seems hard, but when you get used to it, you realise it's an spectacular way to play soccer on the PC. Now we will use the mouse as main controller: pass, move, slide, shoot. Graphics and movements are excellent and give it an epic realism. However, EA Sports has surprised all of us by releasing FIFA Online.įIFA Online is a different FIFA, only for PC gamers, where everything is thought and developed with interaction with other players in mind.Īs a soccer simulator, FIFA Online has got most of FIFA 10's features. The gameplay has been completely redesigned: powerful artificial intelligence, team play, a huge variety of tactics, absolute realism of the ball’s behavior.Playing FIFA for free is something that, for now, is impossible to do. There have been revolutionary changes in the behavior of computer opponents and the introduction of a full-fledged physical model of ball control. Thanks to the new skeletal animation system, athletes can express emotions through gestures and facial expressions. Each of them is similar to its real prototype, not only externally, but also in terms of the plasticity of movements and even in the style of play. Spectators, coaches and substitutes react violently to what is happening, clouds are moving across the sky, the illumination changes depending on the time of day … The players look like they are alive. Now life is in full swing not only on the field, but also around it. This eight-bit period of FIFA history ended, and now the game has reached a qualitatively different level. One of the most noticeable and important features of the game was the lineups: each team had the right lineup, including even reserve players or players who had played at least once in the qualifying tournament. Then the indoor football mode was turned on, and polygonal player models began to be used, with motion capture technology.įurther more – it became possible to edit teams and individual players using the internal game editor, 16 different stadiums appeared in the game, artificial intelligence was improved and the “Road to World Cup” mode was added, which includes all licensed national teams – members of FIFA. For example, clubs from eight national leagues have been added, the players appeared with real names and positions corresponding to their real prototypes. However, after a couple of years the situation began to improve. At that time, it used the most advanced engine, but of course the graphics and animation, and the gameplay itself, were far from modern standards.


The first game in the FIFA series came out in 1993.
