The game includes a number of built-in skills for players to control the actions of players. It includes shooting, passing (close and far), crossing the balls or perform the movements slide and rob the ball. It may be noticed that the purpose of these skills seems to be very clear, so it mostly depends on the player’s ability to play ball or reflexes, confront the opponent’s movements. Sometimes, players use the slides to try to steal the ball from another player quickly, but it seems that it leaves them behind and brings no results. It even brought a painful defeat. A good game is to control a good character, stick to the ball and then use the slides. As a result, the odds of winning the ball are higher. However, no one can guarantee what will happen after that, when the opponent will apply the same strategy.
Some comments after experiencing this game are about AI does not seem to have much improvement compared to previous versions. Therefore, their ability to play the ball has not improved. For those who have the experience, or have played similar games to FIFA 2007, they can go almost out of the field without too much trouble. The defenders of the opposing team proved to be quite slow, and they will accumulate behind while the player is trying to close the goal to score. However, in some major and highly classified leagues, AI works quite well, as their defenses and attacks are solid. Passing the ball over a player who is moving opposite, or taking shots from a distance, is hard to do.
FIFA 2007 has more than 20 famous tournaments from different continents around the world. In Spain, there are two tournaments that probably you would have known: Spanish Primera and Spanish Liga BBVA. Meanwhile, in Italy: Italian Serie A, Italian Serie B; in France: French League 1, French League 2; and tournaments run by Cocacola Organization: Coca-Cola Championship, Coca-Cola League One, Coca-Cola League Two; or the Premier League tournament that most have the participation of the big teams: Barclays Premier League. Of course, each different tournament will have a unique feature. Players also cannot bring only one Spanish team to participate in the French League. This is unreasonable. Just select on any tournament, a list of available teams will be displayed for selection.
Besides playing the role of players and playing soccer, FIFA 2007 also provides another mode: Career. Yes, the player will take on the role of a coach, and all the enthusiasm will be put on his team. During the 5-year term, players need to bring in achievements and achieve the goals that have been set earlier. The system will rely on the number of prestigious points earned to evaluate the career at the end of the season. However, Career mode seems to be too rudimentary because of its simple gameplay. There is no feature to transfer players, upgrade or improve the skills of the player. The ability to play ball, defense, movement speed or physical strength is the default, and the results of the simulation games in this mode is completely depending on the tactics that the player has organized in advance.
