While on my travels around town today I happened to come across an X Box in my local GameStation. After reading much positive hype about the game I decided to give it a play. I wasn't too pleased. These are my opinions. Firstly I'm going to p*ss on the bonfire of those who longed for true authenticity. To get the best test of this me and my mate decided to play as our fair cities rival teams, Stoke City (Division 1) and Port Vale (Division 2). Straight away I noticed that Port Vale were wearing last seasons shirt with old sponsor and badges. Players are absolutley nothing like there real life counter parts, though atleast they got the skin colours right, nearly. To my amazement Port Vale had better stats than Stoke. Very angry was I! To make things even worse the players look like they're made out of plastic thanks to the new light sourcing.
BUT WE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY, I hear you cry.
This is where the game really shows its flaws. Firstly the passing is terrible, passes go straight to feet rather than in the path of running wingers thus making the game play sluggish. Even more sluggish is the dribbling control, players seems to take an age to turn even when they're not sprinting. The only positive I can have about the game play is the shooting which is very accurate, though some may argue it's too accurate! So once again EA Sports have made prats of ourselves and most of all themselves.
