FIFA World Cup 06

[alldaws1]

Just got the game today (yeah, a bit late I know ). Does anybody else have it? And for the Xbox 360 version, is there any way to change how long the halves are?

The soundtrack sucks, listening to Billy Talent while I play is much better.

[alldaws1]

Nobody? I also need to know how to change the difficulty, I'm too good

[Buford Ripley]

Surely there's an options menu.

[alldaws1]

Well, obviously. They're not in there though.

[Buford Ripley]

Well, that's queer. I say all games should have a clearly visible,easily accessible options menu.

I rented the gme a while back , and I remember chaning the difficulty to easy, because I sucked at it. I think theres like a 'My FIFA' menu, and I'm pretty sure the options are in there.

IIRC it comes up before you start a match/tournament. It should come up with a window with some square boxes above another row of square boxes which you have to use the trigger buttons to go through all the different options (difficulty, match length, which ball etc). It can be pretty easy to miss. I don't think there's just a place you can access to change the options from the main menu which is gay.

I'll check it when I get home if you can't find it.

Ah! Found it, thanks LBTN. I've only played one game from the "Play Now" section and I obviously hadn't realised I could switch settings (first go with the 360 and everything, getting used to the controller let alone the game). I presume once you set it up to your liking for a "Play Now" game it will apply those settings to your other games? Because you don't get that option in a World Cup or anything.

[The LBTN Express]

Yeah it saves the options when you change it. Not sure about changing it before starting the World Cup though although I do recall changing it before starting it, could be my mind playing tricks on me.

So, which is better? This or Winning Eleven 9/PES? I got this a few weeks ago for Xbox, and it's quite nice, but I may order WE9.

Oh, and I know that WE9's rosters aren't accurate, but I can import the correct ones.

[therockbox]

Pro Evo/WE wins hands down, I like the recent FIFA games but WE is so much better.

[The Future]

No competion man Winning Eleven takes the cake it's more realistic and the gameplayer is better but the new FIFAS are alot better than the old ones.

I managed to lead Malta to the World Cup the other day, despite Malta sucking huge.

Anybody know how to have a player attempt to charge down a free kick (X360)? I've done it before, but I can't remember how I did it :ohwell: I know Y makes the wall jump and B brings an extra attacker, but I can't figure out how I made my defender charge the kick down.

I'm enjoying the qualifying campaign with the USA at the moment. In the first phase I lost to Panama twice, 4-2 and 2-1, but two wins over El Salvador and a draw and win against Jamaica got me through. I've had a bit of a goal drought in the second phase, a few 0-0 draws (I finally managed to beat Panama, though, 1-0) but that ended when I changed my formation, and a few players, and destroyed Mexico 4-0

[The Future]

I just qualified for the World Cup with Canada in the same group as England and Paraguay however so this should be tricky.
