Hi Soren, What I used to do with the earlier FIFA's is that you listen to passes, crowds, and you use soccer logic. What I mean, I'm Liverpool, I know that Hamman plays in the centre of midfield, so when he gets the ball, I expect him to be in that position, and so try and can iether pass to the side or back, or forward, or, if brave, try and run. A lot of the time he is out of position, and I end up passing the ball out!, but that's part of the sort of fun. You have to listen to the crowd, if they are louder, you're nearer the oponent's goal, and can try and have a shot. The commentator might say your name louder. I don't know about the new fifa's, but with 2002 till 2004, I don't think they could really be played, since the sound effects of the ball were softer, the commentator didn't say the names much, and, most important, you couldn't really hear tackles. I'm surprised that your friend can play 2006 and 2007, no judgment here, but I've heard that to shoot you have to hold the d in and then let go when you see the arrow or angle at the right place in the goal. Iether it's not as visual as I've heard, or, if your friend is totally blind, I'd love to know how he gets his shots on target, and not sailing wide, since I think they were using this on fifa 2004, and I couldn't play it, since I could run, but everytime I shot, it went wide, please ask him what he does, would be very interesting. Of course the bad thing about the FIFA games is that you definitely need sighted assistance, because you can only move through menues and go to the next matches using the mouse. I've decided to buy Pro Evolution and Sensible soccer, will tell you if I can play them, talking about taking risks! One hint I can give you is, if you want, for example fifa 2007, wait till 2008 comes out, then 2007's price absolutely falls, so you sort of can take a gamble without regreting it too much. I do think that us blind football players should try and network to find solutions. Ari
