It would've been great to see some kind of transfer market implemented, of course, but the squads in the game are plenty big enough that you'll never have any problems replacing injured players with substitutes. After choosing a team to take charge of, the career mode will challenge you to complete five seasons as a player-manager whose responsibilities off the field are limited to team selection and tactical decisions. If you do plan on playing FIFA Soccer 2005 every day, or at least if you plan on investing a lot of time in it, you might want to skip over the requisite friendly match and custom competition options in favor of the all-new career mode. The game's audio is also of a consistently high standard, with a number of licensed music tracks giving way to a vocal stadium crowd whose volume changes according to what's happening on the pitch.
The menus are user-friendly, the in-game visuals are impressive, and the fact that you're reminded of the game's surprisingly intuitive controls via a brief loading screen before each match is great if you don't plan on playing the game every day. The presentation of FIFA Soccer 2005, in fact, is almost impossible to find fault with. All of the team information in the game is as accurate as you could hope for on the N-Gage: the badges are all correct, the team rosters are as up-to-date as is possible in any video game, and the home and away uniforms for each team-while not emblazoned with sponsor logos and suchlike for obvious reasons-are true to those being worn this season. The first time you play FIFA Soccer 2005 you'll be asked which of the 500-plus real-life teams that are featured is your favorite, and provided you're not looking for some obscure team that only the people in your hometown have heard of, the odds are very good that you'll find it, no matter where you are in the world.

FIFA Soccer 2005 for the N-Gage has a lot more in common with its PC and console counterparts than you might expect, and it plays to the strengths of Nokia's handheld with both Bluetooth and N-Gage Arena support.įIFA 2005 contains hundreds of real-life teams.
FIFA 2005 TEAMS UPDATE
Now, just 10 months later, EA Sports has released its inevitable 2005 sequel which, we're pleased to report, does a lot more than just update the team rosters and uniforms. Released for the N-Gage in January of this year, FIFA Soccer 2004 is arguably the best sports game to grace the platform to date.
