FIFA FRANCHISE

Fifa Franchise

FIFA is a football game series that was first developed in 1993 and was called FIFA'94.

FIFA is made by a very big company called EA. They create many other successful sport games

such as madden, NBA and multiple golf games. They also make games such as Battlefield,

Mirrors edge and need for speed. 

FIFA has developed since 1993 majorly. The majority of the development is content based.

Such as how they have incorporated more and more teams each year from different countries. 

The most recent FIFA is FIFA'16 which has added female footballers into the game so now 

instead of just having the male teams such as Manchester united etc. You can now play with 

females, but you can only play as 12 national teams.

EA bring out a new FIFA every year, at the start of the new football season. FIFA 17 will soon be 

out and in that they have added managers that you can visually see, because on previous games

you could pick your manager design such as facial shape, suit or tracksuit etc. but you could never see them in game. Also they have added a new system of shooting and taking set piece's to previous titles.

FIFA in my opinion is one of the best games out there. Even though many people prefer other games such as Pro evolution soccer. In my opinion FIFA have a much better look to it, such as graphics wise and the game seems to play alot smoother, to me anyway. FIFA also have many excellent features to the game, such as a player career mode or even a manager career mode. Also they have a mode where you can play with your friends called pro clubs, and a mode called Ultimate Team where you create the very best team you possibly can.

The journey. The journey is a new game mode exclusive to FIFA'17. This mode will let you play as your own virtual pro and make designs based on how you feel. You can only play as one character in the journey, unfortunately you cannot create your own pro because you have to play as a pre-made player called Alex Hunter but you can pick any team you want as long as they are in the Premier League. Alex hunter is essentially a promising youngster who is trying to get his first major break into the first team. You play along side a life long friend called Gareth Walker, he is your friend but may turn into a rival as you are both competing for a spot in the same team. 

FIFA contains two types of career mode currently and a third mode coming in FIFA'17. The game mode that are currently in the game are a manager career and a pro career. These are two very different careers. A manager career is where you pick any team you want to be in charge of, buy and sell players, negotiate wages. Where as when you are doing a pro career mode you only choose the club you start with.

Fifa usually gets mostly positive reviews. The most recent title FIFA'16 got a review of a 7.8/10 from IGN and a 82% from Metacritic. Which are good reviews considering these are very trusted websites for game reviews as they put a rating on every single game out there. But compared to the previous game FIFA'15 there ratings have dropped slightly. Because last year they got a 8.3/10 from IGN and the same Metacritic review which shows there game hasn't improved at all but actually decreased in quality.

The rival game to FIFA is Pro evolution soccer also referred to commonly as PES. PES is also another football game series, but is not as big as FIFA even though their reviews are very good and suggest that the game is actually better than FIFA.
