anyhow, I've been playing WE8 for a while now on my PS2 and I'm still not liking it as much as WE7. There are a lot of great additions to the games, but I still dont like the gameplay as much as WE7.
A step down compared to WE7 in these aspects:
** The players have amaturish control of the ball. Star players should at least receive the ball comfortably.
**The passes are terrible. The 1-2's are messed up.
**The team-work level has gone down so much that the game's a lot more messy. The defenders don't help out each other as much and the attackers run in to each other more often.
**Players are made of glass! When I play with my buddy, there's an average of 3 injuries per game (mostly the bad ones that requires a sub). What's worse is that these injuries that are supposedly to the leg happen when the offender pushes/shuvs the victim! We don't even play rough/careless. Since we've played WE6 together, we only get an average of 2 cards per game.
**I've noticed that sometimes a player on the field attempts to make a pass in one direction and the anamation even shows that, but the ball would go in another direction.
**Most players rarely make on touch passes. They scramble to receive the ball, the take a step, then they pass!! (these are suppsed to be world-class players)
I love my football neat and organized with my players spread all across the pitch and i love to make quick 1-3s, 1-2's and other passing combinations to penitrate the defense from the middle. the controls don't allow me to control my players as easily as I used to in tight situations.
Basically, I feel like I'm playing an MLS!! :down:
anyhow, I know that I'll just have to get used to the controls (the new passing system), but i'm positive that the gameplay has gone a step down in many aspects. WE focused more on the animation and graphics!
