Okay, that's not entirely true. Every now and then the A.I. will shoot from beyond the 18 yard box.
But for the most part what I'm seeing here is an A.I. that wants to home in on the 6 yard box, and will do so relentlessly. It looks bloody stupid. You get situations in which the opposition, in your 18 yard box, is passing the ball back and forth in attempt to get closer to the net. The damned A.I. won't pull the trigger and frickin' shoot.
It ruins the experience. Is anybody else seeing this? I'm playing at the highest difficulty level.
Also, aren't through balls, launched into the air, just a tad too easy to pull off? I've had so many break away opportunites from sending the ball upfield in the air that I've lost count. It's over the top.
Lastly, this is a minor gripe, but nevertheless it's pretty bothersome: when a foul has been commited I want to be able to take the free kick right away. If I have to wait ages for the referee to blow his whistle it just disrupts the flow of play. I hate having to sit there for fifteen seconds not being able to do anything. And don't give me that 'yes-but-in-the-real-world-you-have-to-wait-before-the-referee-finally-blows-his-whistle' crap because this isn't the real world, it's a video game, and when you're playing a video game you want to have fun.
The way it stands now, I don't think I'll be buying this game.
Which is kind of twisted because had Konami NOT released this demo I would've bought the game on day one. Essentially, the demo has made me not want the game.
