hmmm, i think that ea should be trying to make the most of the 360 not make it look lyk utter crap, the grass is worse, the shirts hardly move like they should be, players are a bit hit and miss (but thats ok all games get that), game play - wont go into it too much but there should be a new physics system so that it plays like you are on real grass with a real ball and world class players (differing in skill of course), it should feel like real soccer!!! you cant use the licenses to make the game every year, fifa needs a revolution if it's gonna sell, other wise they know what we'll all do

Developer Diary – He Shoots, He Scores!
Creating Authentic Penalty Kicks
Penalty Kicks play such a big part of World Cup that we wanted to make this feature as authentic as possible. When you get to the penalty shoot-out situation the pressure goes up and what we have tried to do is transfer that pressure to the user in the videogame. We have tried to take that feeling and make it visual.
For this game we developed the Penalty Kick Nerve System and it's meant to reflect the pressure of an actual World Cup penalty shootout. First off -- the sweet spot (your target area for the most accurate shot) will move around. As time goes on, the pressure mounts and the sweet spot will move faster and faster - and you will have to figure out the optimum time to attempt your kick.
If you're the keeper, you can try to throw the shooter off by jumping, waving your arms, touching the bar, etc. You can even send a vibration to your opponent’s controller while he's attempting the shot.
It's all meant to put more importance behind these situations.
Penalty Kicks are always an important part of the game, but in World Cup, it's even more important. Often times the game comes down to that one amazing shot, so we made sure we put a lot of emphasis on it in 2006 FIFA World Cup. Nobody wants to lose the world cup because of a lame penalty kick; it's such an important part of the game.
Advanced Shooting Mechanics
Our shooting model has completely changed - and this will be the thing that gamers will notice first. Your shot meter determines the shot elevation only. The longer you hold the button down, the higher the shot is. The power of your shot is determined by a number of different things, including player attributes, where you're positioned on the field, which foot you're shooting with (preferred or not), the ball height at point of contact, the amount of defensive pressure, and a modifier if you're using a star player.
For example, star players with a high "Finishing" skill will do well inside the penalty area, while the long shot specialists will do better outside the box! This makes it more important to get the ball to the right player for the job, and feels more like an accurate world cup match!
So make sure that if you're doing a long shot - pick a guy like Lampard or Ballack, and if you're in close -- go for Shevchenko or van Nistelrooy.
We've also tightened up the responsiveness of the players -- so they'll react faster when you hit the button or change direction. Our Ball physics are completely different now as well. I guarantee you'll see shots that go off the keeper or the bar that you've never seen before. It feels more realistic when you're seeing the keeper scrambling for the ball after a deflection that was misjudged. We've put in some new controls for your free kicks as well, giving you the option to take a run up and really hammer the ball as well as taking a tactical "regular" shot.

one thing i have noticed on all football games where are the defenders at corners and free kicks ??? sort out the realism before messing with penalty kicks as for shooting system it looks just like rttwc 2006

Any SS of Netherlands? ... cause i'm still wondering if there's gonna be Netherlands with the KNVB logo and the official jersey, or just with default logos and kits.
How crappy is the gameplay...OMG...I was watching one of the gameplay vids and it feels as if the ball has a magnet and the passes go perfectly to the player. The players also turn too quickly, almost at a 90 degree angle. All the players seem to be equally as good, not realistic enough for me

I could not agree more. Frankly I don't understand why we even bother, EA will never learn. How hard can it be to just pick up some stuff from PES? Just compare the two in gameplay and player movement.
Sure, this WC2006 will have great graphics, but who cares when you are bored with it after like an hour.

If you guys dont like about the gameplay, then dont buy the game. Simple.

It's sad how every thread in here about a new game becomes again and again in a FIFA vs PES or kinda that.
It's true that FIFA games dont have good gameplay as PES, but in the other hand the so wanted "graphic realism" that 2006 WC shows, makes me want to buy this game.
And that's why I always buy FIFA and PES, both are good and I dont want to complain every day about what game is the best ...

I probably will most likely not buy it, but if I did, doesn't that give me a right to complain about the quality of the product? BTW, I never compared FIFA gameplay with PES, I just said that I did not like the ball physics of the game and the sharp turns that the players make.

Please STFU if you haven't played the game.
