Absolutely terrible game. Has no redeeming qualities what so ever. Rubbish graphics, laggy live play and terrible controls. A total disappointment I think. I'd even say the this years fifa cash in is better. Im just glad I rented rather than bought it. The 9.4 rating in OXM is an abomination. Were they playing the same game as me? Probably not I doubt. They just make up their reviews anyway dont they? Does anyone like this crud? If so why?

Have you just been thrashed for the umpteenth time in Master League?
Probably. Come back and give your opinion on it after a day's hindsight. That should give you enough time to appreciate how tight and deep and utterly compelling the underlying gameplay mechanics are.

get used to the controls before you moan about it. After a while it becomes easy to see why its the best football game ever made...because it plays more like real football than any other could ever hope for.
Hmm interesting. Anyway I dont have it any more. I only rented it for a weekend.
It's worth going back to.
The multiplayer can have you playing for hours. The beautiful thing about it, and I think this sums it up, is that you'll never play the same game twice.

Also, if you do get hold of it again, read the manual. Familiarise yourself with the controls and play techniques.
Playing matches using just single button plays like "pass" and "shoot" is missing half the game's depth.

I possibly was a little rash. I'll hire it again sometime and play it more. Still dont know if I'll buy it though. Some people I know say that it kind of grows on you after a while.
It does grow on you after a while. Thing is, most people don't have the time to lean and master the subtleties and advanced controls of the game, hence the mass preferring FIFA instead.
Having said that, I sold mine today.

Yup, I wish I had bought fifa as opposed to it aswell, especially the online lag is dissapointing, also so many people leaving before the finish, I just don't bother playing online now which makes it just another football game really.
YOU HATE IT?! I HATE YOU! :p
nah..tis a good game once you setup the controls properly, I use the default controls and I kick ass and as for the lag, I've played many ppl on here and we don't get any, just play with the right people..or host then they get it all :P
