[Ralf]

New free kicks - now we see blue rectangle* on goal and we have three differents variants - shot, curled shot and lob.

[Ralf]

there are many menus. For example one it is the official CL ball

 

[donovan929]

what did they say about the unlockables and other cool things in the game?

 

[ronaldo9]

how the game look like? does the players look like fifa 2005, or the game look completly defferent from fifa 2005?

 

[Ralf]

Unlockables:
Invisible Walls
Beach Soccer
7 on 7
Blind Ref
1st Person View
Turbo Mode


game on the pitch looks similar like FIFA 2005, but now it's more realistic, graphic is better

Can you do a low shot? For instance, sometimes when the wall times their jump, you can play the ball under the wall, or to the side if they are positioned improperly. Is there a way to do that?

There was in the FIFA 2005 demo, but then when I got the game for XBox, I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I tried positioning the cursor in the lower part of the goal, but that doesn't seem to work. I even tried positioning the cursor in the lower part of the goal, and not putting too much power on the shot, and it still didn't seem to work.

Also, does it play the official Champions League song before every match? I sure hope so.

 

[ngyc]

how about corners? still 1,2,3?

 

[donovan929]

the beach soccer unlockable should be in FIFA Street... not a Champions League game!

Yes. We must set up rectangle down on goal and shot with special power.

Only when we click "Play match" and after loading screen it is CL logo and official song. Unfortunately when players run in stadium there isn't song and CL flag in center of the pitch

Now, there are new corners. We choose one of the four option and set up arrow [direction and power]

Don't you have screens? And where did you get the version you played?

 

[TrebuTa]

Got my previewcopy yesterday. No big improvements. Comments are almost identical only small things are new like "Champions League" etc. Nothing really big. Just a new way to make money...

But then there are some small improvements like handball, refs give more advantages and they make bad calls themself. And now you can see how much extra time there will be played etc. Stuff like that. I enjoyed it for 2 hours or so nothing more.

No, it is really good game.

 

[TrebuTa]

It's like FIFA 2005. Nothing else. Just another way to make money. That's everyting that needs to be said. If I need to choose between this CL game and PES 4 I'd rather take PES...

No one mentioned here PES, you are just making PES propagand, i love PES4 but FIFA and PES are different games, UCL game seems pretty good, i'm starting to have doubts of this preview copies....

 

[Youri Bakker]

I have doubs about the preview copies also. TrebuTa only says thing which everyone knows about the CL. I'm sure he hasn't played it yet.
