John Bedford (Modojo): The development history of FIFA is largely one of refined evolution, rather than outright revolution. Each annual edition introduces new technological tweaks to accomodate greater realism, whether that's slicker animations, livelier stadiums or more finessed player control. One year the focus turns to more intuitive defending, in another it's all about fleet footwork, but overall there's a gradual weaving together of every lesson learned as EA attempts to capture the magic of the pitch, off the pitch.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
