With Roy Keane returning to the international fold, and with the memories of the 2002 World Cup not too far back in terms of memory, the Irish players were rated very favourably, and most of them had world class potential. However, the one thing that FIFA 2005 had going for it (well, that's harsh, many people still really enjoyed it) was that the Republic of Ireland were bloody incredible. While the roles have reversed now, and FIFA is well back on top in terms of sales and numbers of active players, FIFA 2005 was met with a sigh and a roll of the eyes by many gamers who had grown tired of gimmicks like 'off the ball control', which actually made that particular game extremely flawed due to how easy it was to split a defence open with the new tool. 2005 was a year when FIFA was the unloved step-child of football games, as Pro Evolution Soccer, the undisputed king at the time, was riding high on a wave of love that coincided with the release of PES 5, one of the very best sports games ever made, on the back of the magical PES 4.
