EA has mesed it up yet again!
I started off with myself as Man Utd against Luton Town. I was unaware that anyone in the luton squad could keep up with Ronaldo, Tevez or Rooney. The amount of through passes i tried to play to Ronaldo that were intercepted, was unbelievable. Even with a huge blatant gap to pass it into, it still hardly gets through. On the rare occassions it has got through, Ronaldo has been unable to out sprint a ageing Luton town Defence.
Same old, same old, it looks and sounds pretty, all the real names and teams are there, lots of new gimicky game modes and unfortunately awful game play.
I also tried all out attack as a strategy, along with the direction buttons to change plays. When you are on a break with Man Utd, only Ronaldo and Giggs attack. Tevez likes to stay marked and Rooney is the only guy to pass too, which is usually where the attack breaks down.
Passing is the biggest let down in this game. You always feel you are fighting with your own team, just to get up the field. There are no sideline runs from Neville or Evra. Ronaldo and Giggs never make themselves available. The CPU is always hungry for the ball, where as your players like to wait for the ball, whilst the opposition takes it off you.
Im a long time Pro Evo guy and i dont even know how i got sucked into buying FIFA, i never normally even think about buying it. As soon as Pro Evo comes out, i will be trading in FIFA to buy it.
I wish EA would use the weapons idea in FIFA, like they do in Madden and NHL. It would work brilliantly for FIFA. I can honestly say that not once have i out paced the Luton defence with Rooney, after receiving a sweet through pass into space.
SORT the passing out and have noticable player abilities and this could turn out to be a series worth buying.
IIm gutted i fell for the hype and gutted i believed the scores from gamespot and all the kiddies.
Sack this game off at all costs!
