Like some of the other reviewers, I was excited to play this game until FIFA goes on sale, but I'm pretty disappointed off the bat. Yes it's a somewhat cheap game but it has a lot of issues. Controls are clunky and one button is responsible for too many things. There's no way to do different passes. The ball will bounce off of your players at times if they aren't facing it. Lots of things that so many FIFA players are used to aren't there and maybe that's where the frustration lies. I thought career mode would be fun but your team is so miserably bad at the start. Also one thing that's infuriating is that your player with the ball comes to a full stop when passing or taking a shot. It made it near impossible to try to score on that first career mode game. Because on top of that, when you got into the opposing team's half their whole team would just swarm your players. I guess if you just want to do exhibition matches against AI the game could be fun. But overall, I don't think i will be playing this too much, may ask for a refund. Also wanted to say, love the retro feel of the game and the music. Which makes it all the more tough to give it a thumbs down. If the gameplay was a bit more crisp it would be a no brainer thumbs up.
