When it was launched ,back in 2006, Fifa 2007 came in two versions.For Xbox 360 there was a version with beautifull graphics and good gameplay.The PC version was a PlayStation 2 port but for a lot of people (including myself)that didn’t matter.Fifa 2007 was a must-have for all the Internet Cafes in my home country, Romania.
In spite of the fact it was a PS2 port the game had the best gameplay in the series at that time.The career mode was a jewel .As time passed ,you had the possibility to build a team with high chemistry and challenge any team you wanted.The players grew in experience and as the team chemistry got higher and higher you had big chances to beat the best of the best on the World Class difficulty.The introduction of team chemistry in the Career Mode should be a feature that EA should introduce in its future games.
In Fifa 2007 Career Mode you had the possibility to invest the money you won in some sectors of your club to make your team even better or to make your stadium bigger.Too bad the newer versions of Fifa don’t give you this chance and I hope EA will take this into account.
For me ,Fifa’s 2007 soundtrack was and is the best in the series.I loved Kaleidoscope ,Royal Uniform and You Are the One but you guys can find other songs that can become your favorites.
The commentary ,at least compared with the newer versions of Fifa was boring and repetitive but it had its charm because of the Scottish accent of one of the commentators.
I hated the blur effect that appeared in the replay scenes but other people will not share this opinion.
I love achievements and Fifa 2007 gave you the possibility to win points that you could use to buy different things from the store from the Classic XI to Team Kits and many other things.Fifa 2007 was the first in the series(or maybe it was Fifa 2006?) that introduced the points to unlock different things and the newer versions of the game took this to a new level with unlockables that help you to beat your rivals easier .The unlockables in Fifa 2007 were mainly for customizing your experience.
Although it isn’t the best in the series and it faced serious challenges from the PES series ,Fifa 2007 will remain a legend .Everytime I play a game of Fifa 07 I will recall memories from my College years when instead of going to classes or study I opened the PC for just one more game of Fifa.
