Its pro evolition soccer which means its got great gamneplay without doubt BUT it still seems like a ps2 game with better graphics....and there are still some half assed problems that could easily be sorted..
1. the commentary is as awful as ever!! and its almost exactly the same as last year - LAZY
2. Hardly any new animations, plays very similar ot last year with better graphics.
3. The crowd still look WORSE than a ps2 game.
4. movement of players is still very restricted
5. the goalkeepers are still TERRIBLE!!!
6. Online is still VERY far from perfect.
7. Master league is same old story.
8. Hardly any stadiums
Overall this game is good though if you are a pro evo fan BUT it is certainly just the game that last years should have been, and i seriously cant justify keep paying £40 for these games each year..unless people start to boycit these games, and keep buying them blindly Konami will continue to be lazy and will continue to release the same of rehash of the previous years game.
There are however some plus points to the game..
1. The graphics of the players close ups are excellent and VERY lifelike.
2. The menus are improved
3. you can import own music and chants, which is a good idea in principle but doesn come without issues, but thats for another time (30 second loop ***)
4. Champions league is presented well apart from the commentary.
5. BAL Mode is ok
i think that sums up all my initial thoughts on the game
