#248
rá van dobva a képekre egy kis elmosás meg pár pöpec effekt, de a grafika szerintem egy az egyben FIFA 2005.... szánalmas.... úgy látszik grafikai tuning szinten csak a nextgen FIFA hoz majd valamit a PC,XBOX,PS2 verzió marad a tavalyinál...
bár ha most jobban belegondolok... lehet, hogy fake képekkel van dolgunk... -

-
Rudee #243 Nem szebb, de nem is ugyanaz a grafika alapja, mivel 2 más platformról van szó... -
#242
attól még hogy xboxos képek,nem sokkal szebb a pc-s....
-
Rudee #241 Sokat jácchattál az XBOXos fifával. -
#240
érdekes,hogy minnél jobban közeledik a megjelenés,annál jobban látsziik,hohy ez szinte ugyanaz a grafika mint a 2005-é...:D

Overview
What's this then? Yet another decent, fun, non-crap soccer game from EA Sports? What is that, 2 in a row? Okay, maybe it doesn't technically count as two in a row since Fifa Soccer on the PSP is largely a port of Fifa 2005 for the Xbox/PS2/PC, but that doesn't hide the fact that this is a very solid soccer title and well worth a look if you're thirsting for a soccer fix on the go.
Graphics 75
What struck me first about Fifa Soccer’s visuals were the crisp well laid out menus - this is a well presented game and the menus are intuitive. Once you get onto the pitch you’ll find that the wide-screen format of the PSP greatly amenable to soccer gaming. The default camera angle has the camera high up and zoomed well out. However, because of the PSP’s wide screen you’re able to switch to the Action camera (which is zoomed in and lower down), turn on the radar and you get a view that’s an excellent compromise between seeing the player models close up and still seeing enough of the field to pass the ball around.
In general the player models are mediocre. Even from the closer camera angles, such as the aforementioned Action camera, there isn’t any real variation (except for skin colour) between the player models and it’s difficult to spot who’s who without looking at the name indicator. On replays, however, you can easily identify the big name players such as Raul, Totti, Biscan (just kidding) and Zidane with the camera zoomed in closer. Unfortunately, the majority of the non-superstar player models look like zombies straight out of Resident Evil with oddly shaped heads and hair that looks like it was stapled on. The kits are also disappointing with markedly lower resolution textures for the sponsors giving them a very washed-out look.
The most impressive aspect of the player models is definitely the animations that are not only quite varied but also have fairly smooth transitions between them. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not talking Winning Eleven ‘good’ but just as good as Fifa 2005 and very impressive for a first generation PSP game/port.
Fifa Soccer features a wide selection of stadia and each is impressively modeled with lots of detail and good pitch textures. All of the stadia are instantly recognizable and I like the fact that EA Sports included pitch-side ad hoardings specific to the country the stadium originates from. I particularly like the lower division stadia as they have more variety with their surroundings. Rain effects are also really well done and not at all over the top with a slight shimmer of rainfall visible and an increased sheen of the playing surface.
Unfortunately, Fifa Soccer’s TV-style presentation is poor and could definitely use a lot more work. There are end of half highlights as well as the obligatory post-goal replays from a variety of angles. Unfortunately, instant replays of near-goals are only showed if the ball wide without any keeper interference – so if you fire off a spectacular volley that the keeper just manages to palm around the post for a corner the game won’t show you a replay of it! The goal celebrations could also use more variety and more context. Finally, and most disappointing of all, is the lack of a trophy ceremony when you win a title! I won the EPL title with my beloved Liverpool and was merely treated to a notice on the league menu screen informing me I had won the league!
Okay, so that’s the good (and the slightly disappointing) but what really holds back Fifa Soccer from earning a higher score in the visuals department is the bloody annoying slowdown! Actually, slowdown is perhaps the wrong term. Rather, the game suffers from momentary freezing! This freezing occurs every time the ball goes out of play! Even though this only lasts a second, it’s jarring enough to put you off the first few days of playing the game to have everything freeze each time the ball goes for a throw in, goal kick or corner. Fortunately, you do get used to this freezing and after a while you come to ignore it. Unfortunately, what still bothers me (even after playing this game to death) is what happens when you get a scoring chance. You see, the game doesn’t freeze if/when you score a goal – you see the ball fly into the net, bounce around, and cue celebrations. However, if you shoot just inches wide, or the ball hits the post and goes out of play, or the keeper tips a shot over the bar/around the post the game freezes just before the ball breaks the plane of the goal-line!
Why is this particularly annoying? Because it basically means anytime you take a shot that’s going close to the goal, if the game freezes, you know that you haven’t scored even before you see it fly wide! Imagine you’re in the 90th minute of an intense match, down 1 goal and pressing for the equalizer. Your striker gets free of his marker and lets off a howitzer that’s going for the top corner and – FREEEEZE! – clearly you know you haven’t scored before you even see it go wide/get saved! This makes such situations almost anticlimactic and while it isn’t a game killer it’s still bloody annoying.
Hopefully the freezing and the player models can be fixed for the European release of Fifa Soccer this fall because if the game didn’t have those two handicaps you could easily add 10-15 points to the graphics score. It still wouldn’t be Ridge Racer or Wipeout gorgeous but still damn good looking.
Audio 85
The Fifa series has always had great commentary and the first PSP incarnation of it is no exception. John Motson and Ally McCoist do an excellent job of covering the match and I was quite surprised with number player names that are spoken. The commentary is also very fluid and although a few of the context specific comments miss the mark, many are spot on. My favourite example of this was during the penultimate match of an EPL season, I had already clinched the title the game before and was chasing the lead in this match. In the last minute of the game I missed an absolute sitter with Milan Baros to which Ally McCoist said something to the effect of ; “…it’s a bad miss but he won’t so much since they’ve already won the title.”. Not groundbreaking but very neat nonetheless especially for a first gen PSP game. While Motty & McCoist can’t match Winning Eleven’s Jon Kabira for sheer enthusiasm and excitement, they make up for it with a very authentic experience.
The rest of the game’s audio is fairly mediocre. The EA Sports Trax feature a wide variety of artists but not many quality songs. Blue Monday by New Order is in the game, however, and you can set up specific playlist during the menus. Unfortunately, there’s no option to choose to play mp3s you have on your memory stick like in ATV Unleashed [link]. The crowd and in game sounds are functional with a few non-team specific chants and the crowd reacts appropriate to near misses and tough tackles.
Options 80
Fifa Soccer features an impressive array of features not just considering this is a handheld title. The major game modes are Play Now (exhibition match), Season (a league mode), Tournament (a variety of cup competitions), Head to Head (via Wi-Fi) and Challenges (a mode with various scenarios). Since this is an EA Sports title it’s filled to the brim with licensed teams and leagues – no Konami-style ‘Aragon’ or ‘Rigaloose’ here! The following licenses and leagues are present for Season mode;
[deep breath]
English Premier League
Football League Championship
Football League One
Football League Two
France Division 1
France Division 2
German Bundesliga 1
German Bundesliga 2
Serie A
Serie B
K-League
Mexican Apertura
Mexican Claustura
Dutch Eridevise
Norway Division 1
Spanish Premiera
Spanish Segunda
Portugal Super Liga
Scottish Premier
Swedish Division 1
If I’m able to count that’s 20 available leagues which is bloody impressive! Another impressive feature is the ability to start a league campaign at the midway point of the season with the stats/standings real-life accurate up till that point! The game’s Tournament mode features the league and association cups from most of the featured countries. Speaking of countries, Fifa Soccer also features a full slate of international teams to use in exhibition or in custom league or cup modes.
I mentioned before the impressively modeled stadia and the full list of featured grounds is as follows; Highbury, Old Trafford, Anfield, BayArena, Calderon, Camp Nou, ‘Closed Square Style’, Constant Vanden Stock, Delle Alpi, ‘Div 1 Euro Style’, ‘Div 1 UK Style’, ‘Div 2 Euro Style’, ‘Div 2 UK Style’, ‘Div 3 Euro Style’, ‘Div 3 UK Style’, Felix Bollaert, Hamburg Arena, Mestalla, Municipal de Gerland, ‘Olympic Style’, ‘Open Square Style’, ‘Oval Style’, Parc des Princes, San Siro, Santiago Bernabeu, St. James Park, Stade Velodrome, Stamford Bridge, Westfalenstadion, and the Amsterdam Arena. Pretty damn impressive!
The Challenge/Scenario mode is a lot of fun (especially when you want a quick game) and puts you in a real-life scenario in which you have to make a comeback or rout your opponent. For example, one of the first scenarios is of the 2004/03 Champions League Quarter Final between Arsenal and Chelsea, and with the game at 1-1 at Highbury you have to steer Chelsea into the lead!
Finally, one of my favourite features in Fifa Soccer for the PSP is the EA Sports Flashback option. This feature allows you to save a match at any point by pressing select. Then, when you come back later to finish off your match the game provides a five second rolling replay of the action just prior to the moment you saved! This is a great feature that ALL console sports videogames should have! If it can be done on a PSP it should be possible on the Xbox and PS2!
At this point you’re probably wondering why, in light of all the aforementioned features, Fifa Soccer doesn’t earn a higher score in the options department. The first problem is of the quality of the options. Sure, Fifa Soccer has a ton of leagues, unfortunately there’s NO franchise mode! As a result you just play a single season with no relegation, promotion, cup competitions, or continental club matches. To add insult to injury there’s no transfer mode available during a season so if you want to add a player to your lineup you’re SOL. This would be even more annoying if your players got injured, but even though the game features an option to turn injuries on or off, I have yet to see any of my players get injured! Another bummer is that the rosters are only up to date till the middle of the 2004/2005 season so don’t expect to see transfer window deals present. The final kick in the teeth is the complete and utter lack of stats tracking – the game doesn’t even count the top goal-scorers, let alone cards or assists! All of these glaring omissions ultimately make the season mode feel like a string of exhibition matches with no real consequence at the end of the campaign. Further enforcing this feeling is the fact that you’re not even treated to a celebratory cut-scene or trophy presentation when you do win the league!
The second reason the game gets a lower score in the options department has to do with the lag time when navigating the menus. Regardless of whether you’re on the main menu or adjusting formations, there is a lag time of one or two seconds between the time you press a button and when you see the cursor move in the corresponding direction. Even making a selection with the X button takes more than a second to register! This lag time, combined with some excessively long loading times makes navigating the menus an exercise in Job-like patience. I can remember numerous occasions I wanted to change formation and rotate personnel during a match and thought better of it because I didn’t want to waste over a minute carrying out a process that should take twenty seconds! Likewise, I soon gave up on manually updating the squads because it’s far too time consuming a process. All of this time wasted in menus and waiting for the game to load runs counter to the quick-pick-up-and-play nature of the PSP.
Gameplay 75
Fifa Soccer’s core gameplay is more or less identical to that of Fifa 2005 especially with regard to ball physics, AI and control. Since Fifa 2005’s a game that’s been covered to death elsewhere I won’t go into an excessive degree analyzing Fifa Soccer’s gameplay here. The biggest difference between Fifa PSP and its non-handheld brethren comes from the button configuration which has been simplified to accommodate the fewer number of buttons on the PSP;
Analog Nub – controls player movement
D-Pad – controls first touch and ‘skill’ moves
X – pass on offence / switch player on defense
Circle – shoot on offence (with a powerbar) / blocking tackle on defense / chip with L
Square – lob on offence / slide tackle on defense / quick cross (no powerbar) with L
Triangle – through pass on offence / bring out keeper on defense / lobbed through ball with L
R – speed burst
L – sends a teammate on a run, and used as a modifier with the face buttons
The biggest issue with the control layout with majority of the gaming press is using for the analog nub for movement and the D-pad for special moves. Since the PSP’s D-pad is right above the analog nub on the face of the PSP, in order to perform a skill/special/magical move you have to take your thumb off the analog nub for a split second, press the appropriate D-pad direction, then go back to the nub!
Sound awkward? Well it is! Why is that a good thing? Because it really prohibits you from abusing the special moves! Because of the need for increased manual dexterity you only use the special moves when you have time on the ball and as a result the games less resemble a Nike commercial (with everyone performing party tricks) and more like a real soccer match. I’m sure EA Sports didn’t plan for this unexpected side-effect but it works out in the game’s favor.
As mentioned before, the game plays very much like Fifa 2005 and is therefore subject to many of that title’s failings such as;
1) Half Scripted – half unscripted ball physics resulting no discernable difference in player ball control. Like World Tour Soccer/This Is Football when you knock the ball ahead the physics are unscripted and the ball can ricochet in a quasi-realistic fashion. However, when you’re just dribbling normally the ball sticks to your feet like glue (sing it Sean Paul!) and there’s no difference in ball control between Titus Bramble and Kaka.
2) Lame teammate AI means that there’s a massive disconnect between the defense, the midfield, and the forwards. It’s as if the midfielders, regardless of whatever you set your tactics to, say to themselves; “Well, I’m a midfielder, so even though the action is in the opposition’s penalty box I’m going to stand here in midfield because that final third of the field is for the strikers!”. No more is this obvious than when you lead a break with a striker, are forced wide and try to pull the ball back to the top of the box (where you’d expect any midfielder with a brain to be) and there’s NO ONE THERE! The only way to bring the midfield up into the action is to manually make them go on forward runs by pressing the L button – however, that totally negates the idea of a quick break! Consequently, most attacks are the result of surging runs from the forwards usually with an interchange of passes just between the strikers.
3) Likewise defenders, on either side of the ball, make Stephane Henchoz look as daring as Roberto Carlos as they always sit far too back in their own halves and rarely venture forward except for set pieces (or again, if you take the time to make them which breaks up the flow of the match as you’re circling around pressing the L button to get them to move).
4) Practically no variation between playing styles of teams
5) Set pieces are far too prohibitive with no room for creativity or surprise.
Of course, I’m dwelling on the negative here as there’s still quite a bit that makes Fifa Soccer a lot of fun. Yes, that’s right, I said FUN! Like Fifa 2005, this is the first EA Sports soccer game in the past 5 or so years that doesn’t make me want to throw my controller out the window in disgust (which, with the PSP would be a significantly more expensive expression of rage!). Even though the number of goals scored by forwards is overrepresented (because of the aforementioned poor offensive AI) there’s still a good variety of goals that can be scored; from tap ins, to headers, to shots from outside the 18 yard box. And most important of all you actually feel a modicum of satisfaction when you score a goal or win a close match because it actually took a measure of skill to do so. Don’t get me wrong, this is no where near close to Winning Eleven in terms of depth, but it’s a solid arcade football title that, despite its shortcomings, provides a great deal of fun on the go.
Replay Value 70
This score would be so much higher if only a proper franchise mode (such as the fantastic career mode in Fifa 2005) was present. Without it season mode becomes fairly boring after a while and even though the gameplay is fun, there isn’t a great deal of depth present or skills to master.
The Wi-Fi play is unfortunately Ad-Hoc so you can only play against other PSP owners in the close vicinity. Twisted Metal-style net play would have been a godsend and hopefully it’s in the European version and/or the next North American one.
Overall 78
At close to 80 this is probably the highest score I’ve given a Fifa game in a long time, and it’s definitely warranted as Fifa Soccer (much like Fifa 2005) is the most fun I’ve had with a Fifa game in years. The gameplay, while still lacking in many areas, is a lot of fun and a good arcade representation of soccer. It’s not Winning Eleven but till KCET release a PSP game it’ll do for my soccer fix.
However, I have to point out that the deal breaker for many will likely be the load times and the freezing. To be honest, both are still somewhat of annoyance but not so much that I don’t enjoy playing the game - but that may not be the case for everyone. If you’re living in North America, my advice would be to rent the game first to see if you find the freezing annoying. If you’re living in Europe, have a PSP (and the crazy bastards at Sony haven’t attempted to assassinate you yet for importing a PSP), and are in desperate need of some football action I’d try taking a look at the gameplay videos at IGN to see if you think the freezing will bug you. If EA Sports can fix the freezing, the load times and add a franchise mode this could be a killer release game for the PSP in Europe.
