Sports Gameplay

The game that I have chosen that captures the sport is the gaming series called FIFA. I chose this because this game really captures the graphics of the players but more specifically the better known players for example Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. FIFA have always kept their high standard of their game every year that it's been released, they always find ways to improve the game either through downloadable content to the amazing graphics of the players. As I said before FIFA is always improving, on the previous game FIFA 11 whilst playing online if you wanted 1 player to run towards the opposition then all you needed to do was hold a specific button down, the creators obviously recognised this error or fault in the game then changed it and introduced the feature called Tactical Defending which was released in FIFA 12 to make the game more realistic rather than just having a player run at an opponent all the time. FIFA's animation of the players is quite unique also because they bring in actual footballers and then have them re-create the movements that they would use within an actual game of football for example taking a free-kick or a penalty. Also FIFA introduced a feature within the gameplay called 360 dribbling this basically means the player can run on the pitch in any direction more smoothly rather than in blocky movements which was what happened in the old FIFA games which made it quite un-realistic.
A game that does not cover the sport very well in my opinion would be the Pro Evolution Soccer series. My reasons for this are mainly because of their lack of decent graphics towards the players. Comparing it to FIFA the graphics are terrible. Compared to FIFA the dribbling system in Pro Evolution is quite like the dribbling system that was in the old FIFA games such as FIFA 2005. Whereas FIFA have corrected this to make to game more realistic, Pro Evolution Soccer are still yet to make the same move as FIFA and introduce the 360 dribbling control. Although in my opinion I think FIFA is better Pro Evolution Soccer does have its advantages so it's still worth buying both to find out which you prefer as they both offer a different gaming experience but both still capture the game off football in their own way.
