Horrific animation but beautiful graphics.
From the videos posted here and online, my finding are as follows:-
As always Konami has placed a lot into the "cut scenes" of the game.
They are gorgeous. Colors are vibrant and the atmosphere has been improved. Player faces are remarkable and will surprise a lot of us Fifa fans.
However, the gameplay reveals a lot of issues.
1) There is a severe lack of "burst of speed" from the players. Either coming off of a steal or in open spaces. Each player seems to be limited in how fast they can go.
2) Horrific animations especially when the players are in the process of turning. It seems as if they are locked on one foot hopping around in a very limited circle. This will make it easy to defend players whose backs are turned to the defender. Their only option will be to play the ball back.
3) Players are always in a crouch stances when dribbling.
4) Erratic Shots. Some Hard and some soft shots. It seems as if the engine is determining the placement and pace of the shots.
5) Severe Ghosting.
6) Slow Sluggish game play. Player seems to be methodically going through the motion of control, turn, pass, ...rinse wash repeat.
....and I can go on with things like the collision engine fails and the lack of connections between the ball and the players body...but i will wait for others input.
Peace.
hope you guys will enjoy it
