Another franchise of [[Sports Game|Sports Games]] from [[Electronic Arts|EA Sports]] and one of the most popular worldwide, alongside ''[[Madden NFL]]''.
The ''FIFA Soccer'', or simply ''FIFA'', series is the first soccer game series to get a FIFA license. Being one of the few games (if not the only game) with licenses from various soccer leagues in the world, the game enjoys a wide selection of teams from the most prestigious to the downright obscure.
The series has come along way from it's initial outing ''FIFA International Soccer'' (FIFA '94) which boasted a unique isometric view compared to the standard top down or side views of it's competition. In a few years FIFA soon established itself as a major force in sports videogames and amassed a dedicated following that continues to grow to this day.
Over the course of it's history FIFA has had missteps. This was due in small part to stagnation having been around so long and the series early foray into next generation physics. However recent entries have proven very successful among fans and critics alike. A clear indication of the time developers have spent refining and tweaking each installment.

* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: ''11'' allows you to play goalkeeper for the first time. Explaining: even when you play as your whole team, you usually don't get to do much with your goalie since the AI does pretty much all the saving for you. Playing goalie, though, you obviously have to do all the work.

* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: Outside of America it's essentially ''the'' biggest selling sports title EA Sports develops. To put it into perspective [[Madden NFL|Madden '12]] sold nearly 5 million copies worldwide. Fifa '12 sold over ''10 million''.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Whilst in some regions it is now known simply as FIFA, it was and is still released in parts of the world (ie. North America) as FIFA Soccer/Football. So basically it's name would be '''F'''édération '''I'''nternationale de '''F'''ootball '''A'''ssociation Football. Or in English the International Federation of Association Football...Football.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: More and more every year with a different game mechanic. From simple things like the ref allowing the advantage rather than blow for a free, to the rare scenario of a defender running into a goal post. Notably it's the only game to have an option to toggle handballs on or off (if on, obviously, a foul is counted when it happens).
* [[Difficulty Spike]]: The earliest games had three difficulty levels: Amateur, Professional and World Class. While you could easily grow accustomed to Amateur level, to a point you could even curbstomp the other team effortlessly, the AI [[Took a Level
* [[Dueling Games]] / [[Fandom Rivalry]]: With [[Konami]]'s ''Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer''.
* [[Euro Footy]]: The main focal point of the games. Not only the gameplay is generally modeled after a mixture of the main playing styles of Europe, also a massive majority of the teams are from there. To give an idea, the only five countries to have their second leagues represented are England (which is represented up to their ''fourth'' level, League 2), France, Germany, Italy and Spain; also, only five countries who have leagues (as of the latest game) are non-European: Brazil, USA, Mexico, South Korea and Australia.
