Improved visuals, but bad game-play and far too many glitches!
the passing system is a mess, players are left standing and waiting for slow passes that are very easily intercepted.
There are so many glitches with the commentary i couldn't possibly list them all.
Next, the problem area of tackling and the referee. Tackling is far to easy, especially for the computer-controlled players. The computers AI seems much better than your uncontrolled players and therefore they seem to intercept 90% of all through balls. The referee always seems over-strict, judging completely fair tackles as yellow card offences.
Another problem is pace, which doesn't seem effective enough. I find players with pace in the 80's cannot outrun those in their 60's. And strength is too-important, there is no point in playing a weak player like Lennon for example as they are very easily shrugged off the ball.
Passing seems much more wayward which is just frustrating.
Now to the bugs. When a sub is made, the crowd can go completely dead which takes away the atmosphere, which is usually terrible any way (Samba drums in Bristol anyone?). The commentators are the worst they've ever been. Every corner is 'Terrible' to them, even if it's perfect or you score from it. Man of the Match ALWAYS goes to a centre back because it's so easy to tackle.
