Excellent graphics (under the right camera angles), strong gameplay, excellent difficulty, and high replay factor. Great
The create a player is excellent because there is an abundance of attributes that you can increase throughout the season. In fact, the player growth is fun all in itself in that you can personally mold each player on your squad.
There may be other titles that you want to play, but it isn't EURO or World Cup, because that can be duplicated in custom tournament mode on this game. It may be Pro Evolution, but not this year's version. All in all, this is the strongest soccer title of the year.
