FIFA Soccer 06

EA Sports takes players back to the field with FIFA SOCCER 06 for the DS. Featuring nearly ever soccer team in existence and hundred of players, plus tweaks in game play and several new additions. Gamers will first notice the slight changes in controlling their teams. The touch screen allows gamers to control players and decisions with quick jabs. The lower screen is also used to show defensive commands and other options. The passing and dribbling controls have been fine-tuned, allowing gamers to control nearly every aspect of the game. Each player has a strength rating that comes into effect when passing, as does the amount of weight players put behind the kick. All of the realistic details make gamers feel like they're actually in the game and in control of everything. Manager mode now requires players to keep their club's budgets and handle purchases. Players have to decide how much to spend on staff, recruiting, stadium expenses, and other items. Then gamers have to decide if they want to sign with a sponsor to bring in extra income. All of this adds up to create a game that requires managers to really manage their team. FIFA SOCCER 06 contains all of the modes that made the previous FIFA SOCCER games great, including season, tournament, and career modes. Wi-Fi multiplayer support is also available, allowing players to take on other soccer fans on the go. Gamers will spend plenty of hours playing and managing their teams with FIFA SOCCER 06.
