This game is dam right awful, i have no idea why people like it so much. This is my first football game and will deffinitly be my last. The game in ono way caters for new comers to the game, it just assumes you know what to do and the rules of the game.

The best thing about the game is deffinitly the graphics and the sound, and the good things end there.

The team players are complete and utter retards, on way more than 70% of occasions i have passed the ball to a team mate and they have either dropped it, or the guy has thrown the ball in a completely different direction.

The general rules of the game to me are stupid, i dont understand why a player isnt able to pass when he has the ball. The game is also fustraingly hard, i have had the game for 2 weeks now and havnt being able to score one touchdown, i have literally being on the line, but when ever you come close to scoring, you r teams seems to undergo brain trauma and the opposite team gets a stroke of luck, intercepts the pass and just runs down the pitch, and all your players with their stupid traumas completly missing the player allowing him to score a touchdown.

the kicking system still doesnt make sense to me, i understand the power, but as for the direction to kick it in it just doesnt make sense. I have been on this game for a few hours trying to figure out the rules and how to score, because i have never given up on a game, but this game i think im going to make an exception, its just plain bad.

Football fans may enoy it, but everybody else keep your distance cos this game doesnt deserve the money you spend on it. If you still want to go and watse your money, you do so but dont say i didnt warn you.
