Matches are presented from broadcast-style camera angles that can be adjusted during play, with control over passing, shooting, tackling, and goalkeeper actions. The game supports friendlies, league seasons, cup competitions, and indoor five-a-side matches. Players can choose from licensed clubs and national teams, with season progress tracked through tournaments and standings. Tactical behavior, passing lanes, and team positioning are more advanced than in earlier FIFA entries, giving matches a more strategic pace.

Strategy
Use short passes to keep possession and open space, especially against stronger AI teams. Switching camera angles can help with through balls and defensive positioning. In indoor mode, faster ball movement makes one-twos and quick shots far more effective than long build-up play. On defense, avoid overcommitting with tackles; instead, cut passing lanes and force the opponent wide.

Tips
Tips and tricks
- Experiment with different camera angles to find the best view for through passes and defending.
- Indoor five-a-side is ideal for practicing close control and quick shooting.
- If you are struggling against the AI, slow the tempo and recycle possession instead of forcing attacks.
