I jus played this one and all I can say is this game sux!!
Konami add so many BS, unnecessary, worse and unrealistic changes!!
here's the things from WE7I that really piss me off.
- worst change ever, a huge step backward. the "Super Thunder Pass" from WE3 (PSone) is back!! now everyone can pass like Zidane, cross like Beckham. players can do continual FAST heel passes like they have eyes on the back. with this change, the ball's speed turn even faster than before which u can hardly block it like in WE7/PES3!! now you can put 3 CF and let them pass like sonic and the defenders can do nothing abut it.
- long range shot is much improved which is a really really bad thing, even some below average players like Li Tie(MF) from Chinese national team can score from 30M away. instead, close range shot become harder, even in penalty area, shot seems blcok by keeper more frequently. attack become very easy now thanks to the super speedy passes, on 5 star diffculty with 15 mins match, I almost can score over 5 goals for every game with an ok team!!!
- defenders turns to be really dumb now(position well), they often run away/fall on ground and makes the 1 on 1 situation for their opponent. with Nesta's 99 defense, he seems even worse than some average defenders from WE7.
- the 2nd worst change is the speed. this game focus more on the body than speed. many players with good speed and body(balance) like Owen, Henry, Vieri etc. become useless. now everybody is like papercut, so easy to push away/down by the defenders. Dribbling speed term is completely gone now. with the harder dribble control, even you pass a defender, they can turn back then follow up to you with no problem, the worse thing is they also will steal your ball freaking fast like there's no tomorrow.
dont get me wrong, this game is still a decent soccer game, at least it's way better than the FIFA series. but compare to the original WE7/PES3, this is a big disappointment to me. I hope Konami can corret these stupid mistakes on the nex installment, thank you.
