Great Game! extremely realistic but not quite as fun as fifa 06

i bought this game a few days ago and it is quite hard to put down. i have never bought a winning eleven game and i am glad i decided to buy it now. this game is so realistic it isnt even funny. i play soccer and it is nice to see a realistic game instead of a more arcade pick up and play style. i am one of those nuts in videogames weather it be fifa or madden or whatever where i like to control every little detail of my lineup, statagy, etc and this game lets me go crazy unlike fifa 06 which is harder to control that kind of thing. there are many line ups from a 5-4-1 to a 3-4-3 and everything inbetween and there are about 15 different variations for each lineup. also you can play with many different stratagies. the game is fun the master leauge is a great idea but i really miss licenses. the one beauty of fifa is that there are over 400 offical teams while this has only about 80 or so. i do like how manchester united is exactly the normal way excaept jersey's, team name, stadium name, etc. all EPL teams are like this except arsenal and chelsea. all of serie a, la liga, and afew smaller leauges are all there. i did notice that the US national team has the same name but none of the players have even a noticably close name. but korea is all there so it is hit or miss. this game is great unless you just want to have fun playing the game and NOTHING else. if you are a control freak though get this. the graphics are also not as good as fifa from a overview while playing but the players like thierry henry and the like are remarkably realistic close up like when they score and such.
