Pure Football (or Futbol, as they Spanishly rendered) to me is pretty much what EA and Konami have done all these years. It's not because I can freely foul the opposition down that I call it pure football, but because I have the ability to give spectacle to hundreds of fans sitting on the crowd (not that I'm THAT good in soccer games, actually ^^'). I don't even care that Steven Gerrard's endorsing it. It does look good, but didn't appeal to me in terms of football. It's basically Sega Soccer Slam with real players. I mean, even the This is Football games for PS2 (a.k.a. World Tour Soccer), even though they sucked, even they offered a better approach to football (and the best part is, they had a massive team roster that even EA could never touch, and that's why I found it a bit of a guilty pleasure in the only two times I played the 2006 version) than this. Hell, even Midway's RedCard had rules! I mean, playing without rules would inevitably degenerate into a huge mess. And that's not what I look for in a football title. I think the game’s title is a bit of a misnomer if you ask me.

Good game i can see from the trailer. But it seems that it won't be as complex as PES. Wow. Good game i can see from the trailer. But it seems that it won’t be as complex as PES.
