Being a fan of EA sports FIFA series I didn;t really think that I would like this game, and I was about right. FIFA is simply much more fun, you have the multiplayer lounge which is extremely enjoyable and is not present in W11. Then theres the whole licensing thing. I don't know about you buy playing with fake teams with fake players in fake tournaments just doen't feel good. Sure some teams are licensed but not nearly all of them and that really drains some of the fun out. Also the graphics are mediocre compared to what I expected. i even played the Japanese prior to the North American release and i wasn't very impressed. The gameplay however is pretty good but not better then FIFA's.....at least not by a lot.
Mabey if they had licensed teams, better audio and visuals, I would play this game more then I do.
