To be a great player you need a great first touch. The same is now true for players of FIFA Football 2005. This year, a player's first touch becomes the ultimate gift to those who can think quickly and act fast to outsmart the opposition. A brand new animation system ensures that every button press is directly mirrored on the pitch, accurately reflecting the speed and vision of the world's greatest players.

Features:

• Use the right analog stick to trap or flick incoming passes and gain that extra space, as the speed and vision of every player in the game is translated directly to your fingertips.
• Create yourself and play with your heroes or create fresh challenges by setting up new tournaments.
• Featuring more official leagues and team licenses than any other football game, FIFA Football 2005 boasts 18 leagues, 38 national teams and 11,000 real players.
• The all-new 15-season Career Mode gives you the time and tools to mould a team into your image.
• Export your very own brand of football to the rest of the world. Trade verbal blows or just let your feet do the talking at the ultimate online sports gaming destination.
