And even i am moderately surprised
Okay...
the load times SUCK
the AI sucks
the physical side of the game stinks - the CPU can club you down and get away with it, so much as tap the x button near a cpu player and it's a free kick. Shielding seems to not work - the CPU just runs through you or just takes the ball off you no matter what.
there are black screen pause in game
the game slows down to hell
lack of wide view makes it harder to get the passing game going - although :
the ability to pass to two players is nerfed - even if they are right by each other, most of the time, the pass will go wayward...
Playing as Arsenal, most players can't control the ball very well, trap and turn just doesn't seem to work as usual. Passing ability is gone - yet playing Birmingham, they stroke it around like they are Brazil with far reaching passing
free kicks given for random offscreen events
CPU is able to get the ball back from you despite being a fair bit away
I had full time called as the ball was going into the net
Select a defender to stop a thru ball runner and the player RUNS FORWARD as you select meaning that that the chances of you stopping the ball are even more remote (this leads to lots of easy CPU one on one situations)
etc... etc...
In summary - it's an okay football game, it's a very poor WE.
I must admit - i noticed a few of these issues when i played the demo - but as it was set initially to Australia vs Japan, i assumed it was just accurately modelling Australia....
Disappointed total
Aki already has a large number of second hand copies too. It's only been out a day :{
