Great players have a great first touch. Think quickly and act fast, and your first touch can undo the smartest defense. One touch technology means one flick of the control stick can win a game. An all-new fluid player kinetic system makes the game more realistic than ever. Every button pressed is directly mirrored on the pitch, and accurately recreates the speed and vision of the world’s greatest players. And, with more leagues, more stadiums, and more players than ever, FIFA Soccer 2005 is the total soccer experience.
 

• Master the first touch: An accomplished first touch is the essential skill that separates great players from good ones. Our all-new fluid player kinetic system accurately reflects the first touch of every player in FIFA Soccer 2005’s comprehensive database by directly translating their speed and vision from button presses on your controller.
  
• First touch control: Immediately knock, trap, or flick incoming passes in any direction with a well-timed flick of the wrist. Simply push the right stick to try and beat your marker or find that extra yard of space.
  
• Added gameplay depth: Off the Ball™ Control is better than ever in FIFA Soccer 2005. Take command of players not in possession of the ball by calling in tackles, jostling for space, and sending your team mates on runs as you control the pitch. Now you can also control the movement of receivers at throw-ins as well as free kicks and corners.
  
• The absolute broadcast: With new in-game camera angles, smooth and continuous replay cut sequences, and improved contrast and lighting for players and stadiums, FIFA Soccer 2005 has the look and feel of an authentic television broadcast. Intricate details such as wrinkle patterns, fonts, and coloring on player kits add further depth to the presentation, which can even detect the context and importance of a moment and deliver an appropriate level of intensity in the broadcast.
