Demo is better than 08, but not by much...good try tho
I love the fact that you can see the managers, but again i don't like cutscenes either. The should be able to flow within the game.Where are the manager, technical staff and subs during the game? Still no players warming up if waiting for a substitution.
Rain effects, not bad...but in replays or end of game highlights, all the splashes and stuff disappear....so if i save a replay, i wont be able to see the glorious splashes after i rocket a ball off the far post?
No improvements to player kits from 08, they actually look worst. They are just too wrinkled...all the time. You guys should just go to a new kit animation system, where the cloth actually contorts to players movements instead of just animating 'wrinkle shadows' on flat jerseys.
Player faces are more realistic.
I don't get the celebrate yourself thing, while a good idea...if you don't do it right, and the player is just running for a bit....then they stop to do their celebration you put in with the trick stick....then they still show a cut scene with you doin another kinda celebration with your mates?....When its time to celebrate, and we run off in our direction, let the player be celebrating with his friends, they should run off to and be trying to hold him or something until he stops to d the animated thing
The crowd is still dead. People don't really sit down, all game long...when there's a goal, they get up and jump around...more flags, or banners..but let them respond. And if you want to make me doing my own celebration more realistic...when i run to the touchline...let the crowd nearest there be the most animated reacting to me, as i'm celebrating with them, my fans!
The commentary is still sucky, a little bit more up beat that 08 i must say, but still incorrect...which does nothing but remind you that its a game.
Gameplay seemed ok, no complaints, but it isn't much better than 08...so hopefully all these points listed by final release can be sorted out, or atleast in 09
