This game has had a terrible start to life, SI messed it up, learn from this please. But once you play it, you love it!!
But for those who are playing the game, i believe most will agree it is a great game. All the aspects we know and love about it are in there. The players are more realistic in their attributes, however some are not as good as they should be, but nothing is perfect. The 3-d match engine is ok, it's personal choice as to whether you like it, as it is whether you like the game, this is my view on the game, take this review as you want.
There are problems with the amount of injuries, but the patches will work that out, i hope :). One thing that SI have got right is the ability to change the tranfer and wage budgets as you want to, not seeing if you can change one of them. The gossip feature is a nice touch, shows you Real Madrid's pursuit of every Man Utd player, and Man City's ambition to buy everyone. The press conferences. They add variety, and even though the questions soon get a little repetitive, it does little to detract from the idea and novelty.
This is only a short review as i haven't played enough to warrant even trying to give a full one, but i hope it will do for now.
