The faces look decent at best and the croud is clearly a cardboard cutout but the player models and animations all look fantastic. Graphics: Similar to last years, improved but not by much. This can lead to some frustrating moments in the game but once you get used to it the game is very fun.
The shooting system in this game is impossible from long range because of the camera angle and it is very difficult to get in close because of the AI. It is now a little harder to score off freekicks and corners which make for more believable scores even against easier difficulties. The AI has been improved, the computer will now change formations on the fly and knows better then to run down the center of the field. You can still do it the old way if you want but the new way is easier. First off the control works quite well and this year instead of having to do the through balls manually you can now do it automatically with a touch of the Y button. Gameplay: A slight slip from last years despite the whole game was ultimatly the same I did have some issues. Overall: I have some clear problems with the game but overall due to Xbox Live support this is definetly a game worth picking up and is well worth the numerous hours you will spend trying to get shooting down and figuring out the online stuff.
