FIFA Soccer, also known more recently as FIFA Football, and just FIFA, is a popular series of football (soccer) video games, released yearly by Electronic Arts under the EA Sports label. Since its debut release in late 1993, it has been one of the most profitable and well known video game franchises. While there was no major competition when EA released the first titles in their Madden NFL and NHL series, football video games such as Sensible Soccer, Kick Off and Matchday Soccer had been developed since the late eighties and were already competitive in the games market when EA announced a football game as their next addition to the EA Sports label.

History The key points of EA's early advertising campaigns were the isometric view of the pitch (when other games used either top down, side scrolling or bird's eye views), detailed graphics and animations, and of course the FIFA endorsement (although the first game did not feature real player names).

Mega Drive FIFA International Soccer, the first game in the series. While FIFA 95 did not add much other than the ability to play with club teams, FIFA 96 pushed the boundaries. For the first time with real player names by obtaining the FIFPro license, the PC, 32X and Sega Saturn versions used EA's "Virtual Stadium" engine, with 2D sprite players moving on a real-time 3D stadium. FIFA 97 had crude polygonal models for players and added indoor football, but the new pinnacle was reached with FIFA 98: Road to World Cup. This version featured improved graphics, a complete World Cup with qualifying rounds (including all national teams) and refined gameplay. Months later, World Cup 98, EA's first officially licensed tournament game, improved Direct3D support, gave each team a unique kit and broke the sequence of poor video games based on tournaments started by US Gold's World Cup Carnival in 1986 and continued until Gremlin Interactive's Euro 96.

Games in the series
FIFA International Soccer Known as EA Soccer during development and sometimes subsequently also known as FIFA '94,[1] the first game in the series was released in the weeks leading up to Christmas 1993. This greatly hyped football title broke with traditional 16-bit era games by presenting an isometric view rather than the more usual top-down view (Kick Off), side view (European Club Soccer), or bird's-eye view (Sensible Soccer). It only includes national teams, and real player names are not used. A notorious bug allows the player to score directly from an opposing goal kick by standing in front of the goalkeeper so that the ball rebounds off him into the net. The Sega Mega CD version includes some features used in the next title, and is a highly polished version of the original. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

FIFA 97 -
The biggest change in FIFA '97 was the inclusion of 6-a-side indoor soccer mode and polygonal players, with motion capture provided by David Ginola. The game features a much higher number of playable leagues from England, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and even features the Malaysian league. The gameplay in the PC and 32-bit consoles, however leaves a lot to be desired and is very sluggish. These versions also feature commentary by John Motson, partnered by Andy Gray, with Des Lynam introducing the matches. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

FIFA 98: Road To World Cup -
Main article: FIFA '98: Road To World Cup - Tagline: "Your only goal - qualify"
- Cover: There were several regional covers for this game. Among them, David Beckham, Paolo Maldini, Andreas Möller, Raúl González, David Ginola and Roy Lassiter were featured.
- Released for: SNES and Sega Mega Drive (PAL only), Windows, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Game Boy, Nintendo 64
This game marked the start of an upward trend in the series. It boasted a refined graphics engine, team and player customization options, 16 stadiums, better AI, a "Road To World Cup" mode with all FIFA-registered national teams, and a licensed soundtrack featuring popular musical artists of the time. The most ambitious of the series up to that point, it features many accurate team rosters even with reserves for national call up when playing in the round robin qualification modes. It is also the first FIFA game to contain an ingame player/team editor. The gamer wishing to tweak player stats, however, may have to reduce certain attributes in order to boost others, as only a fixed amount of points are allocated for this purpose.

- Covers: Dennis Bergkamp (Main), Christian Vieri (Italy), Rui Costa (Portugal), Fabien Barthez (France), Fernando Morientes (Spain), Ahn Jung-Hwan (South Korea), Olaf Thon (Germany)
- Released for: Windows, PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Nintendo 64
While the indoor mode is was no longer featured, the gameplay's fluidity and responsiveness was increased. The increasing number of websites dedicated to the game and a larger number of leagues (which came to be a problem when the owners of the rights to the Portuguese League tried to pull the game from the shelves locally) ensured good sales. Graphically, it is a major improvement over FIFA '98, with the inclusion of basic facial animations and different players' heights as well as certain other cosmetic features such as improved kits and emblems, although they are unlicensed. Gamers may also create their own custom cups and leagues and select the teams they wish to play against. This game also had the feature of manually changing the ref's strictness, allowing major injuries and fouls to go un-noticed. Fatboy Slim's The Rockafeller Skank is the music used in the intro.

Gameplay is fast, simple, and has a clear arcade feeling which failed to keep hardcore fans happy, especially with rival games such as International Superstar Soccer gaining in reputation. The leagues also feature many unlicensed teams, which substitute their real names for those of their home cities. For the first time, U.S. Major League Soccer clubs are included. As for the gameplay, a new set piece system was introduced, whereby pressing a certain key results in a cross to a particular teammate. This system was used until the 2002 edition. It also features a passing indicator, the colour of which varies depending on the direction of the pass and potential obstacles - red means a certain wrong pass, yellow means there is a 50/50 chance of success, and green indicates that possession will probably not be lost in the course of the pass. The game also features a special team block with classic squads, club teams and national teams, ranging from world famous lineups (such as Real Madrid from the 1950s and the Brazil team from 1970) to less well-known teams (such as IFK Gothenburg from the 1980s or Rosenborg BK and Busan Daewoo Royals from the 1990s).

This title had a new graphics engine which allows each team to have its own kit, and for some players, their own unique faces. Doing away with ordinary coloured pennants as club emblems, the license includes official club emblems for the first time, although certain leagues, like the Dutch league, are unlicensed. Slightly tweakable physics made the game a modding favorite for its fan community. The game also includes the entire Österreichische Fußball-Bundesliga (Austrian Bundesliga) as a playable league for the first time. Moby headlines the soundtrack with his single "Bodyrock" serving as the title track. A "hack" feature is included, where the player can press R1 to attempt an intentional foul, such a high sliding tackle. This is the first, and so far only, game to use a "scratch and sniff" CD, which smells of turf. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

FIFA Football 2004 -
- Cover: Alessandro Del Piero, Thierry Henry, and Ronaldinho (Main), Seol Ki-Hyeon (South Korea)
- Released for: Windows, Playstation, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Game Boy Advance, Nokia N-Gage, Mobile phone
While not adding much to the game engine, the biggest new inclusion is secondary divisions, which allow the player to take lower ranked teams into the top leagues and competitions. A new gameplay feature dubbed "off the ball" was introduced, which is the ability to simultaneously control a second player in order, for example, to move him into the box in anticipation of a pass. The online mode was touted as the main feature. Another key feature is "Football Fusion", which allows owners of both FIFA 2004 and Total Club Manager 2004 to play games from TCM in FIFA 2004. This is also the first FIFA game to feature Latin American club teams aside from the ones in the Brazilian League; four from Mexico and two from Argentina. The title sequence was filmed at St James' Park, the home of Newcastle United, with the opening song being Kings of Leon's European hit "Red Morning Light".

- Cover: Patrick Vieira, Fernando Morientes, and Andriy Shevchenko (Main) Oswaldo Sánchez, Fernando Morientes, and Andriy Shevchenko (North America)
- Released for: Windows, Playstation, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Game Boy Advance, PSP (America only), Gizmondo, Nokia N-Gage, Mobile phone
FIFA 2005 was released much earlier than the usual late October date to obtain a head start over Pro Evolution Soccer 4 and avoid clashing with EA Sports' own FIFA Street. The game features the return of the create-a-player mode, as well as an improved Career mode. The biggest difference compared to previous titles in the series is the inclusion of first-touch gameplay which provides gamers with the ability to perform "real-life" tricks and passes. It is also the first version to feature the full Mexican League. The game has no opening video per se, but its soundtrack is headlined by British DJ Paul Oakenfold, who composed the FIFA Theme especially for the game, using some sounds from the game such as crowd noises and commentary. This was the last Playstation 1 title released in the US. The game also features authentic crowd chants edited by producer Dan Motut. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

FIFA's developers made a complete overhaul of the game engine for the 2006 installment of the game, claiming a dramatic increase in the control of play, having rewritten more than half the code of the game. In addition to a renovation of the engine, which discards the "off the ball" system, the developers boasted a significantly more involved Career mode and the introduction of "team chemistry" which determines how well team members play together. This installment breaks with the long tradition of commentary from Match of the Day's John Motson and (more recently) Ally McCoist, who are replaced by ITV's Clive Tyldesley and Sky pundit Andy Gray, who had already worked in the series as guest commentator.
