Re: FIFA 07 (Xbox 360) - Next-gen
I see you lot are a bit starved of info reading the rubbish being posted. So ill add some more impression.
First of, the slower tempo i mentioned earlier works a treat. This game seems to respond the best to italian speed footie, ie passing it about slowly, keeping possesion and using the radar to look for runs off the ball. Played the challenge mode for a couple of hours today and enjoyed every minute of it.
Tactics
Very important for me atm, maybe when i get better i wont be needing them as much but atm they really help with reaching/completing the challenges. So if you need to keep possesion you edit the formation to have some more free players, rooney style inbetween the lines positioning helps alot. Gives you time to control the ball, turn and look for possibilities. If you need to attack you utilise more wide players, need to defend add bodies at the back and try to keep possesion. These sound obvious but ive never had to use it for pes and its really satisfying (not in the cowden ferret way) when you change your tactic/formation and can see that its helping, or that its hindering aswell. It effects the game as it should.
Graphics
Played a challenge in the mexican league in the aztec stadium, i assume it was, and because it was during the day it was really bright, painfully so in the beginning (in a good way, nice effect that region also makes a difference to light). Still loving the pitch
Passing and shooting
Am finally getting to grips with it and have to say im loving it. Yesterday i still wasnt sure but was willing to give it the benefit but today, with the slower tempo i used passing really made a difference. I was aiming where the ball was going, not the computer and if the pass went astray or to the opposition i knew it was me not being accurate enough. Again it takes getting used to, especially when you want to pass it about fast, but once i get the hang of it ill be enjoying it even more.
Niggles
There had to be some, as mentioned the collision between players isnt always as good, mostly when you try to challenge the player from behind the 'bump' and then continue play. Havent had it hinder me much, but it can still be annoying. I guess it would be on par with konami's last defender tripping you up and playing on script/animation, although its mostly you doing the tripping up and you usually dont win possesion by doing it so it doesnt effect the outcome of possesion as much as in pes.
Thats it so far, probably give a grading at the end of the week.
maybe he just fell asleep early for the "big day" tomorrow
