The strategy is pretty much the same, and this is where FIFA abandons soccer fans who crave a simulation.
Sure, their formations might vary, but you really can't tell the difference in how they play. Play a game against Arsenal and they use the same style as Liverpool and Chelsea. Its problem is that it's still way too predictable. It's not that the AI in FIFA 07 is awful it's actually fairly competitive. The physics are still a shade behind Winning Eleven, but this new fluidity provides some surprises, particularly in multiplayer games, as the AI still tends to be a bit on the slow side. Nothing seems predetermined, which was one of the biggest failings of the FIFA series in the past. The ball reacts in a much more realistic fashion that adds a staggering amount of necessary unpredictability to the gameplay. In addition, the improved physics shine when passing and shooting. No longer does the ball attach itself to a player's foot, allowing you to dribble coast to coast without fear of losing control. FIFA 07 is the lure that brings the casual soccer fan back to the table. FIFA's problem in the past wasn't that it lagged behind Winning Eleven as a sim, it's that it was an unrealistic button-masher with mindless AI that started to turn off even casual fans. Though vastly improved, it's worth noting that this year's FIFA is in a different class than Winning Eleven as far as being a true soccer simulation if that's what you're after, you're much better off sticking with Konami's AI juggernaut. FIFA Soccer 07 features a soundtrack with artists from around the world including Blasted Mechanism, Boy Kill Boy, Carlos Jean, Elefant, Keane, Malibu Stacy, Mellowdrone, and Muse, among others. Normal online games in the FIFA Lounge include a handicap adjustment so expert gamers do not discourage newcomers to the FIFA soccer series. EA will keep track of the winners and the leading team at the end of the week is declared the winner. Choose a team to represent, wait until the real-life team is playing another actual squad featured in the Interactive League, and then play against online supporters of the opposing team. The league is based on real soccer teams that include English Premiership, Bundesliga, France's LFP, and the Mexican First Division. Internet play features room for eight players and an added Interactive League competition that is intended to add more to the online community by exploiting rivalries and competitive spirit between two teams.
