Master the First Touch
An accomplished first touch is the essential skill that separates great players from good ones. Our all-new fluid player kinetic system accurately reflects the first touch of every player in FIFA Football 2005’s comprehensive database by directly translating their speed and vision to button presses on your controller.
First Touch Control
Immediately knock, trap or flick incoming passes in any direction with a well-timed flick of the wrist. Simply push the right stick to try and beat your marker or find that extra yard of space.
Added Gameplay Depth
Off the Ball™ Control is better than ever in FIFA Football 2005. Take command of players not in possession of the ball by calling in tackles, jostling for space and sending your team mates on runs as you control the pitch. Now you can also control the movement of receivers at throw-ins as well as free kicks and corners.
The Absolute Broadcast
With new in-game camera angles, smooth and continuous replay cut sequences and improved contrast and lighting for players and stadiums, FIFA Football 2005 has the look and feel of an authentic television broadcast. Intricate details such as wrinkle patterns, fonts and colouring on player kits add further depth to the presentation, which can even detect the context and importance of a moment and deliver an appropriate level of intensity in the broadcast.
