FIFA 07 (also known as FIFA Football 07 and FIFA 07 Soccer) is a football simulation video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts under the EA Sports label for GameCube, PlayStation 2, Windows, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and Java-compatible mobile devices.
It was the last game in the FIFA series to be released for the GameCube, Xbox, and Game Boy Advance, and the third (although first in the main series) to be released for the Xbox 360 after FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup.
FIFA 07 sponsored Accrington Stanley for the 2006–07 season, with the FIFA 07 logo displayed on the back of the team's shirts.[11]
Leagues
[edit | edit source]There are a total of 27 leagues available in FIFA 07. There is also an International league that features some licensed national football teams, and a Rest of World league that includes other notable clubs from around the world.

Xbox 360 version
[edit | edit source]Electronic Arts developed a new sports engine for the Xbox 360 version of FIFA 07. This meant not only improved graphics and better controls, but the physics and control were also improved. The game collects more data from the matches than previous version, and thus is able to give a "man of the match" award. The commentary in English is provided by Martin Tyler Xbox 360 only and Andy Gray appears in all versions and Clive Tyldesley commentates the other versions of the game and the commentary in Mexican Spanish is provided by Enrique Bermúdez and Ricardo Peláez.
Extra features include up-to-the-minute real-world game results via real-time, weekly podcasts and news ticker, detailed football stats, information and real-world news available in five languages. Finally, the Xbox 360 version offers a mini-game in the menu and when loading into a game, dropping the player in a one-on-one face off against the goalkeeper on a practice pitch. It also has very limited leagues on the Xbox 360 compared to the other consoles.[15]
EA cut all but seven leagues from the Xbox 360 version of the game — one of which contained only one team (Juventus). According to producer Jean-Charles Gaudechon, this is because the new game engine took so long to develop that EA was not able to implement everything.[16]
A FIFA 07 demo was made available on Xbox Live Marketplace on 6 October 2006.
