-The players will now be resembled in the game, not only by their faces but by their bodies

-it is mentioned that the 3 referees will be on the pitch,.....(im not so sure about this)

-also, the exact stoppage time will be given at the end of the match (they say we will be able to see the time given in an electronic board like in real soccer)

-The bouncing of the ball depends on the state of the pitch


This were by far the most important stuff i've recollected from this preview, they've also mentioned stuff we already knew...(the uniforms getting dirty etc)

they also spoke that now the ball won't look like if it was glued to the player, and that the problems with movement (when u can't get to a free ball because the controls won't work) have been fixed

Wait, if its sponsored by the Dutch league how could it not have the official names for the Dutch national team? I guess the KNVB is causing problems again...?

 

[dannyboy19]

Mayor, I haven't translated it, i just copied what Konamilk translated sorry.

DJ Dee. Konami have the license for the Eredivisie NV league. This includes players/teams/kits for teams in that league only.

Dutch players outside that league, and the national team players are licensed using FIFPro. They are included in this years license but since Konami normally have to apply well in advance for it, they have last years license with Holland exluded, hence fake names for Dutch players

 

[khengoolman]

no matter, hopefully wolf's patch will do the job

 

[dannyboy19]

Well you're gonna need a DVD burner then....

 

[khengoolman]

hehe true

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation Dannyboy19

It is a shame, but who knows, maybe Konami will themselves release a patch to update the national teams which they are now allowed to represent officially, like Holland.

There's suppose to be no comments here. It's suppose to be official news. Can somebody delete the unncessary post including mine.

 

[Anaconda]

[hex]

More animation and realistic appearance with crowd flares and celebrations.
Supporters carry banners with the face of their favourite player on.
When the home team scores, the crowd go wild and start flares and smoke just like in real Seria A games.
