How Electronic Arts Marketed The FIFA Football Video Games Over The Years PART II : FIFA 95 - [1994] ⚽ #retrogaming

Following on from FIFA INTERNATIONAL SOCCER [1993] EA served up an iteration to the existing tried and tested formula with FIFA 95 that had tweaks to the gameplay based on what worked and didn't work in the extremely successful original game.

This time EA were marketing the fact that FIFA 95 had:

• Improved intelligence.
• Players that move off the ball and provide better service. 
• An amended passing system to provide more accurate passes to team mates. 
• Bullet headers on goal, that could go beyond the reach of the diving 'keeper. 
• New volleys which you'll need to go one-on-one with smarter 'keepers. 
• Goals now can come from volleys, half-volleys and swerving banana shots. 
• They also boasted of harder shots, Faster players, Stronger passes. 
• Over 200 international teams. 
• The ability to play a complete domestic league season, then take your team on tour abroad. 
• Also an injury system that was innovative for the time as picking up an injury might mean that your star player could be out for the season. 
• Fatigue was also introduced as a feature which meant that players would tire during matches and the need for subs to be brought on was more of a tactical consideration.
• EA also added in a set piece system with on screen UI to assist you to be able to score from deadly set play free kicks.

How Electronic Arts Marketed The FIFA Football Video Games Over The Years PART I : FIFA INTERNATIONAL SOCCER - 1993 ⚽ #retrogaming

Before FIFA came along soccer video games were generally simple affairs with not many thrills or presentation. Animation was generally limited and rightly or wrongly the main focus of titles like Kick Off and Sensible Soccer was the playability rather than the look of the game. 

FIFA from EA Sports changed all of that by introducing a game that was not only fun to play but also lovely to look at. 

I thought it would be fun to look at as many of the Iterations of FIFA over the years to see what (if anything) changed across each release. I do this stuff for shits and giggles, some people say I'm broken but maybe I'm just 🎶football crazy, football mad!🎶

Let's KICK OFF shall we?
