Don't you just wish sometimes that some football games can be encorporated into another one and the best features are all bought together into the best football game ever to hit the games makrket? Well I am going to describe what I think what the best football game in the world can be like. Just imagine the possibilities. It would have to on the PS2 because it is the most powerful games console on the market at the moment so you can really extend its capabilities to the full.

Graphics
The graphics used would be those of This Is Football on the PS2. You can finally actually tell which player is which from most places on the pitch, if you now your stuff. Barthez is instantly recognisable by his egg head and unique goalkeeping style. Giggs can be pointed out, just by the boots he wears and Edgar Davids glasses dreadlocks and orange boots can be seen from a mile off. The crowd is also very realistic and they shout and cheer, waving banners and setting of fireworks which gives you that party like feel.

Gameplay
Without a doubt, the gameplay would be Pro Evolution Soccer and any ISS game ever released. The players actually have a body that you can't run throgh(unlke FIFA)as if they weren't there. The players are all very intelligent and just like real football, have the first two steps in their head. The headers are met with the thrust of the neck and shooting is that much more realistic than most games. For every two yard sitter, theres a 30 yard screamer heading for the top corner of the net. Every goal you score gives you that feeling as if you have actually just scored it yourself. You jump up and down, go mad and celebrate just like your computer counterparts. It makes winning that bit more rewarding.

Options
There would be as many options as in FIFA, where you can select teams from up to 24 different leagues from 17 countries around the globe and have a database of around 5000 players which you can play the beautiful game with. There would also be all the competitions like League Cup to World Cup in which you can play as your team that you support or your home nation. The customized players and teams are also very thorough and you can change Bechams haircut(again) to Manchester Uniteds kit(again also).

There are also some new options that you could bung in as well which have not been seen in any football game before. Here are some that I thought about:

1.Being able to fight with other players and control your player for the fight.

2.Customizing your own stadium. Make a new stadium and decide on capacity, surroundings, layout etc.

3.Encorporating management into paying the game itself. Managing a team through finance, team selection , transfers etc. and still being able to play the games for yourself.

4.Controlling the referee during a all computer match and decide on decisions that a normal ref would have to do like disiplainary, fouls, misconduct. You could have options and choices and you take your pick for which one to take.

5.Controlling the celebrations that your players have after scoring. You could have different shoulder buttons for each celebration.
