Product Information

There's also a Manager mode where you can take your local club from obscurity to stardom in just a few seasons - although my progression always seemed to be in the opposite direction. Players will be distinguished from one another through a sophisticated database that evaluates and grades each player's skill-set over 36 attributes and 57 traits, compiled by 1700 scouts around the world.

From positioning your goalkeeper at corners to picking the precise spot you want to place free kicks and penalties on the Touch Screen, this is football like you’ve never played it before! Even hear your name echo in the stands of Old Trafford or San Siro with customized chants for your Virtual Pro. defender trick system creates head-to-head battles as you move up the pitch, performing dozens of elaborate new tricks to throw the defender off-balance. Real Madrid's Kaka will deliver crisp, creative passes, Barcelona's Andres Iniesta will utilize tighter turns and close control to dribble through defenses, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney will hold off defenders and strike shots from distance with pace, and top-flight defenders like Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus will anticipate, predict and react to offensive players to win back possession. The FIFA 06 for the DS has a good lasting appeal for anyone who likes FIFA games, as this feels very similar to other games in the series.

Cram a whole world of football in your pocket and experience the highs, lows and never-ending drama of the beautiful game on the move in FIFA 11 for Nintendo DS. This is where this mode completely fails, the 350 points for each player allows the user to completely max out every skill of the player so potentially the goal keeper can be as a good a striker as,… well the striker, and visa versa. And if you end up with a player you no longer want on your books, you can always trade them with a friend who also has FIFA 11. The real-life personality of the keeper, whether acrobatic or traditional, will dictate his style in game. Choose from different match types first to score, Tug of War or timed and from a variety of different goals to test your skills, including elevated nets for lofted touch shots, wall goals for continuous action and mini nets to test accuracy Features: New Trick System: Ultra-responsive controls and an easy-to-use trick system give you instant control over your idols.

Set your home club’s anthems and chants to play during player introductions, halftime, and after goals. this mode should be the award winning section of the DS version of FIFA 06 but unfortunately it just doesn’t seem to make any sense. Take on all-comers in the latest incarnation of the soccer series that gives you complete control over the biggest football stars on the planet.
