FIFA Football 2005, also known as FIFA Soccer 2005, FIFA 2005 or simply FIFA 05, is a football video game released in 2004. It was developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, Xbox, PlayStation Portable, GameCube, mobile phone, Gizmondo, N-Gage and the Game Boy Advance. The tagline for the game was: "A great player needs a great first touch." FIFA 2005 was the twelfth game in the FIFA series, the ninth in 3D and it was the final game released in North America for the PlayStation. FIFA Football 2005 marks the first time to included the Seventh generation Handheld game consoles.
Improving the career mode, the game was extensively advertised and
released much sooner than the usual late October dates to avoid
proximity with the release of Pro Evolution Soccer 4 and the EA Big release, FIFA Street.
While some critics still considered it to have inferior gameplay to
Konami's series, it was acknowledged to have improved significantly
since the 2003 edition.
The game featured a return of create-a-player mode, as well as an
improved, 15 season-long career mode. The game's biggest difference
compared to previous titles was the inclusion of first-touch gameplay
which provided gamers the ability to perform "real-life" tricks and
passes. It was also the first version to feature the full Mexican League, which boosted sales in the United States.[citation needed] The soundtrack was headlined by British DJ Paul Oakenfold, who composed the FIFA Theme especially for the game.
The main cover for the game featured Patrick Vieira, Fernando Morientes and Andriy Shevchenko. On the North American cover Oswaldo Sánchezreplaced Vieira. [1]
