Fifa World Cup is very effective in capturing the excitement of soccer. I started a season, starting in the preliminary qualifying rounds, with Portugal. In an hour I played five games; I defeated two teams, tied two, and lost to one. I usually play on the Professional difficulty setting, but this is my first season playing it on the World Class setting. There is an incredible difference in the two settings. It almost feels like your team is slower in the highest setting. What is really enhanced is the relative difference between the players in a challange for the ball. It is obvious which player has higher statistics (ie how fast they run, how well they dribble). When a player is in open field, it is difficult to tell his states.
Fifa is also good at capturing the overall talent and personalities of every team. Portugal, for example, has no huge stars, but all the forwards have roughly equal goals. I've found, especially with computer played teams, that one forward is a primary goal scorer.
The quick cut-scenes that occur between the time the ball goes out of bounds and is thrown in or kicked in adds to suspense and makes it feel like a real game of soccer.
