    The touch and passing are high quality and an improvement of all prior versions, but I find the defensive AI improbable (slow defenders will catch you on the wing), the franchise mode incredibly frustrating to navigate through (a huge step back from 2004), and the game to play very, very slow.

    I prefered 2004. AI is too hard, which ccompletely steers you away from the game.

    Where 2005 really breathes is in its pasing game...The entire system is remarkably intuitive, making the Xbox controller feel as if it's a natural extension of the onscreen action. [Nov 2004, p.98]

    FIFA Football 2005 has more than proved its worth with some lovely new control features that add a lot more subtlety and variety to the gameplay, an extensive and highly involved career mode and those gorgeous graphics.

    What's nice about FIFA is that it does a very nice mix of simulation and arcade gameplay that works wonderfully with the game.
