  1. FIFA 06 is a great game for both soccer novices and enthusiastic players alike, and is a worthy investment to a soccer fan’s entertainment library.
  2. FIFA 06 is particularly unusual in that it ditches some of the series' recent innovations in favor of tried-and-tested gameplay mechanics. However, it also adds plenty of new features that help make it the most realistic and accessible (and best) FIFA game to date.
  3. Better than all previous offerings, an awesome football experience, but still not quite on a par with "Pro Evolution Soccer."
  4. PC Format

    The franchise is improving, but gameplay niggles keep it from taking the title. [Nov 2005, p.92]
  5. The fluid animations and in-depth gameplay will allow experienced and first time players to pick up the game and have fun.
  6. Shielding, tackling and dribbling have been boosted for better on-pitch control, while business in the boardroom looms with a more comprehensive management game and careers judged over a 15-year span.
  7. FIFA 06 does deserve a purchase but it simply doesn’t offer up anywhere near enough improvements for owners of "FIFA 2005" to part with cash this year.
  8. FIFA 06 may not be perfect, but it is perfectly playable, and is probably the best we could have hoped for. Apart from EA buying Konami. [PC Zone]
  9. Though always attempting to up the ante on their long time rival, this year’s FIFA actually seems more of a step back when compared to the 2005 iteration.

    PES and FIFA were opponents for years. This was a time that FIFA released better titles and I really enjoyed this certain game.
