Posivite: Contacts, fouls, slides cutting the passes, long range goals, smart goalies
Negative: the ref lets the advantage play over a foul, defending players get switched off. If the forwards don't score from such action ref still brings play back to the foul. If they do score - bad luck. Yellow card -yes !!, bringing play back -no !!!!!!!
* 360 spin is very hard to stop. Once the player goes into the spin it's very hard to stop him. After geting out of the spin player pulls out an elbow an gets another few moments to get away. Step over from fifa99 was much more realistic and it's easier to stop as it takes less space that the spin. We can witness stepovers in real football every day - spins rearly. Why is that trick gone instead of spining or hurdling? Another thing: Goalies are way too week-you can score a goal from the long range O.K. but not targeting the middle of the goal. If the goalies were stronger the results would be more realistic. Goalie should cover at least 70% of his goal.
