For all those out there that already have the game, please use this thread to comment on it.

Also, those who have questions about the full game, ask them here.

It'd be good, so its so repetitive, that those with the game go around the other threads out there asking stuff and answering questions :)

Thanks (Y)

Great game so far. Been playing on xbox live mostly. Had about 10-12 games so far. Hardly any lag at all. Mostly when you are trying to select teams to play with which is a little strange. It is very sluggish and also when your making subs before the game. It takes awhile. You cant also get to the reserve players to put on the field which is rather annoying as mutu is in there.

You are only allowed 3 pauses in the game on live and each have a timer. Also you can only stop the game in a break or when you are in possession. This is a great idea and stops people pauses it all the time when you are shooting etc.

Gameplay wise it is good. I read in a review somewhere that it is almost impossible to beat the keeper 1 on 1 which is utter crap. Ive done that already a few times. I think those reviewing the game need to do more research. thats it for now.

>> Did EA acquire the Champions League license as promised?

No, but then I don't remember them promising it (I think that was someone on these boards leading you astray).

I got 2005 for the Xbox today; greatest FIFA ever. First touch is a brilliant innovation, it is to football games what total punch control is to boxing games (Fight Night 2004).

My two favourite goals so far:
1) Gudjohnsen shot on the edge of the area, defender puts a leg out to block, takes a wicked deflection, keeper is already committed diving left, watches it fly over him.
2) Robben puts in a low driven ball, Drogba at the near post slots it home (very realistic animations were most impressive).

I'm still on amateur (always start new FIFAs at amateur and work up to world class) and scoring a little too easily from outside the box, but 2004 was the same til I got to semi pro.

Overall, graphics are incredible, licenses incredible (even if I do feel they left out some decent Eastern European sides unfairly), sounds incredible (though I'm not sure if it tops FIFA 2003 yet, that had amazing atmosphere!). Very happy.

Only one small problem. No alternative commentary! FIFA 2003, I could switch the language in options to French, Spanish, German or Italian - and get the commentary to go with it. They took it out for FIFA 2004 (Australian Xbox version) and they've done it again for 2005.

If the PAL Xbox version comes out in Europe with alternate languages, can someone let me know, and I'll order a copy. I got my copy here for nothing (trading in old games), so I can sell it to a mate for a few dollars short of retail and get a EU copy. It really adds to the experience hearing "GOOOOL!", "TORRRR!" or "BUUUT!"

Does the computer make substitutions on FIFA 2005, for example, if the computer team is up will they make a sub for a defensive player....or if the computer team is down, will they sacrifice a defender to put in a striker for an all out attack ???

This is what the EA Sports FIFA games are missing.....
