What is missing, in my view a perfect game, I shall discuss below:
1. There is unfortunately no way to change clubs during the Master League mode. If this feature is installed, I would forgive the 5 star. As far as point to EA.
2. There should be a D2-League for every league.
3. The already frequently mentioned camera perspective the penalty. The penalty system itself I find not bad. I thus aids to select the players camera at a penalty and then return (in my wide angle) to normal view.
4. The (semi-) automatic selection of the players is now and frustrating but probably not completely turn off in a game with so much freedom.
5. No adjustment possible by walkways. To be able to create custom moves like NHL would be nice.
6. The manual pass mode is helpful, but not very realistic especially when playing online. So I succeed liberation blows with my set under distress defender of the penalty area to penalty area.
7. (scripted?) Edges that go beyond friend and foe and into the opposite side registration. While this is not often bother me though.
8. offense without exception by the home team and always from left to right.
9. The memory locations during editing is limited, so not all edited teams crest can be assigned (concerns with me, the teams of the 2nd league).
10. The English commentary is still missing in the EU version!
11. On the hard drive stored Highlights format can not be cut due to the PC or Mac and uploaded to YouTube.
And now to the strengths of the game:
1. You must always be alert, especially the defensive timing is crucial. For me the soothing contrast to FIFA with the always strong defensive mechanism (hold cross key and duel win).
2. The positive side: Dynamic and massive attacks that still need to be carried forward well considered. Who at the 3: 1 and 4: 1 reminds of Germany against England at the World Cup, knows what I mean. The passport freedom is enormous and conveyed that. Here FIFA draws even with full manual control clearly lose out.
3. goals scored from all parts of the team, not only because defenders come at corners with before, but also during the game in progress!
4. The players back at attacks very well with. I have already placed some clearance of outside the 16ers.
5. The added time on the clock runs off with so that you know exactly how much time you still have.
Please note that many data patches run for the PS3 only with the EU version, especially those of German editors that thankfully the Bundesliga tinker us!
I hope that my amendments were helpful. I play now for more than four months and therefore believe that it is more than a fleeting impression on my findings.
