FIFA07
Wednesday, November 29, 2006
Aiya... If you think of it
ah, EA still needs to improve its FIFA Football 2007. I'm not trying to say I can do a better job. But
c'mon EA Sports! There are a few things that is
kinda making me sick. Firstly its the line-up or formation. You always see real football, when a team plays 4-4-2. There'll always be one central midfielder storming forward with the other midfielder staying back in case of a counter attack. But in FIFA07, its' always either one midfielder storms into the box with the other... lurking just outside, leaving the back four without any cover if there's any long ball pumped to the opponent striker in a counter attack.

Or in another situation, none of the central midfielder would bomb into the box, but they would both be lurking outside, neither here nor there. Leaving no options in the box for the crosser and leaving the back four scrambling during a counter attack. The next FIFA, which is FIFA08, hopefully would have some kind of way of determining who sits back or something, like maybe be able to give
simple instructions to individual players.
Another problem is that some players are given overrated attributes and some are given underrated attributes. See the following player's bio:

The "Primary Attributes" you see are really what EA put as. I didn't edit them. I only edited the name, birth date and country of the player.
Hmm... Michael Essien, hopefully those Chel$ki or Ghanian football fans don't blast me. But please... Michael Essien, comparing him in real life, have a passing technique of 92/100? Or tackling of 88/100?
C'mon, he is way far from those attributes. EA should give more accurate stats for the players.
Well some teams have players that just are too
pro than they are in real life. Check out this Chelsea team:

Not trying to pick on Chelsea, serious. Okay one positive for those Chelski fans is that how can D. Drogba just have 84? I think he should be like 89 or something... C. Makelele worse than M. Essien? Okay... And P. Ferreira as good as A. Cole?
Ohh please. The whole team is much better than it really is.
The last issue that just
buggs me is that players are
so tired so easily. You always see players in real life playing until the last minute of each game and still can play for the next match. But please check this out:

Look at J. Riise. Tired till he is in the red area! And not to tire the players so much I always have to play a very very slow tempo for each game? What's the fun of that anymore? Please make the tiredness level much more realistic comparing to real life. Or else its very difficult to play.
EA, hopefully will improve their FIFA games. And hopefully FIFA08 will be much better.
Bye~
