I'm sort of vaguely disappointed with the game. I'm on a PS3 so can't comment about any other platform. I thought the demo was really sharp and while it wasn't perfect, it was largely a step forward in many aspects. Ironically the things I thought would change haven't eg:
The fact that the players always appear on screen a split second after the background and issues with the frame rate and slowdown (similar to PES2008's problems) making it, while not unplayable, very annoying, since often when teams come to depend they have a 9 man defence, triggering the frame rate issues again and again.
And some of the things I liked such as the overall sharpness of the game seem to have got worse. Granted it is much more responsive than Fifa 08 it has more options in terms of playing conditions etc. But:
editing squads never works and they reset randomly - worse than FIFA 08 which at least let you set the alloted subs before going haywire.
Player ratings. How can someone score a hat-trick in a game and still get worse.
It might help if the manual was more conclusive. as opposed to the bare minimum, assuming that everyone who buys the game already knows it inside out. Is there anywhere online that give a more in depth rundown of the game?
