Ok, gameplay is ace, very realistic, closer in quality to PES than in any other season, but there are certain dissapointing issues, regarding manager mode.
1. I'm playing my 3rd season now and playing only day matches.
2. When you win the league, you don't get a "praise" from commentary, as in previous editions, there are no celebratory cut-scenes, just a note that you won the league. (extremely rewarding!!!)
3. In general, the crowd sounds very good, but looks terribly apathetic. No scarves, no fireworks etc, no celebrations after scoring ,just like Americans watching a baseball game! From a distance the crowd look like dots, hammered into red seats.
4. Next gen consoles do not support weather change and refs.
Well, hopefully FIFA 09 will take care of these seemingly small, but important for every proper football gamer, details.
