FIFA Football 2005 (GameCube) price, value & rarity
Is FIFA Football 2005 still worth playing in 2026?
Often cited as the best FIFA of this console generation, the 2005 vintage introduces first touch ball control, which markedly smooths driving and offensive creation. The licence stays exhaustive, the multi season career mode gains depth, and the pace sharpens. The whole has of course aged against modern games. For a fan of the licence or a lover of accomplished arcade football, the title remains one of the most pleasant to rediscover on the machine.
