Due this autumn, the latest version of the FIFA franchise promises all sorts of tweaks, with an emphasis on control.

On PSP, new manual controls give you responsibility for through-passes and crosses, as well as the goalkeeper during one-on-one situations against a striker.

For DS, the level of control is given a more dynamic twist, with use of the stylus made for free kicks (you can run up and strike the ball, curling the shot around the wall and into the goal), penalty kicks (a new Penalty Shoot-Out mode is also included) and saves, as well as defensive duties such as controlling the goalie and commanding the wall.
