After a mediocre and disappointing display by the previous year's champions, Pro Evo, FIFA raced to the top of the table as the gameplay finally matched the slick presentation EA have had down to a tee for years. It had been a long time coming, but Pro Evo's crown had been finally usurped. As usual, I had my reservations about a game centred on a single tournament, rushed out to exploit the whirlwind of excitement and hype the fans find themselves in - but UEFA Euro 08 isn't a quick cash-in.
EA have delivered once more, improving on the already great FIFA 08 and widening the gap on their closest adversaries. First impressions indicate not a lot has changed, but after a short play fans of the last incarnation will notice the subtle yet intricate differences in the gameplay, which add to the flow of the game and cut out a number of annoying frustrations. The passing has been overhauled and feels far more responsive, the frustration between pressing X and the delay in actually passing the ball has been largely removed; shooting has been improved which makes it a tad easier to get the ball in the back of the net. Nice touches have been added to team AI, when you're facing a team worse than yours they'll generally play men behind the ball, trying to strangle your play before grabbing sly chances through set-pieces and counter-attacks, mimicking how the real teams play adds a drop of realism and refreshment from the sometimes suicidal play of the poorer teams in FIFA."
