FIFA Soccer 06

FIFA 06 has new controls and gameplay thanks to its brand-new engine, which replaced the one used in five previous titles since FIFA 2003. The most noticeable changes include the addition of more animations and better-detailed ball and player physics and animation, the removal of the unpopular Off the Ball controls that had been implemented in their 2004 version, and the remaking of the free-kick interface so that it is no longer evident if the player decided for a shot on goal or a pass to a forward. Also novel is the idea of “team chemistry,” which refers to the factors influencing how well a group of players perform together.
