FIFA Soccer allows players to control professional soccer teams and players from leagues around the world in matches, tournaments, and career modes, with realistic gameplay and licensed clubs, players, kits, and stadiums.
FIFA Soccer is a long-running association football simulation video game series developed and published annually by Electronic Arts under the EA Sports label. The FIFA series has been released annually since late 1993, and is one of the best-selling video game franchises, selling over 325 million copies worldwide.
In the game, players take on the role of a football manager, and are responsible for their team's performance during the season. This includes buying and selling players in the transfer market, setting the starting 11, determining formations and tactics, and making substitutions and tactical tweaks during matches.
The core gameplay revolves around controlling players on the pitch. FIFA strives to emulate real football with advanced physics, animation, ball control and movement systems. Matches take place in meticulously detailed recreations of real-world stadiums from top leagues. Popular game modes include the story-driven 'The Journey', online seasons, career mode, and Ultimate Team, which allows players to build custom squads by obtaining cards.
One of FIFA's main attractions is its enormous player roster and licensing. It contains over 18,000 players across 700+ teams in over 30 leagues. Key licenses include the English Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, UEFA tournaments, and national teams. Overall, the authentic presentation, broadcast-quality production values, and attention to detail allow gamers to truly feel like they're managing and playing in professional competitions.
