Another year and, of course, another instalment of the bestselling football sim in the world. It may seem a cynical commercial behemoth, but the reality is most players will enjoy countless more hours of fun from the new Fifa than from any number of first-person shooters. Whether choosing to play the career mode, online or the Panini sticker-like Ultimate Team, everything has been given the usual graphical lick of paint. The tweaked physics – this year dribbling feels more deliberate and fluid than before – and the introduction of distinct tactical styles for computer-controlled opponents adds real variety to offline play. The story mode – The Journey – returns for its second chapter, but the biggest impact may well be felt in the main game, with the integration of its conversation system for transfer negotiations it adds a real element of depth – and doubt – to management whims, and will absolutely delight all the wannabe Harry Redknapps looking to do a bit of wheeling and dealing.
