First off Id like to say this game is really good, seriously, it really rocks, but so many things annoy me:
1) Sometimes when you slide tackle, you can be running paralel to their attacker, facing the ball, you press O and he dives behind the ball, resulting in a foul.
2) When 3 stars or more, CPU creates magical players who help make a 5 strong attack against you, then swarm back to outnumber you 6 to 3. Whereas your men generally pass the ball and remain stationary, leaving around 3 to attack.
3) Suddenly having the ball hoofed at your hand which is beside your hip, is handball. And chasing down a bouncing ball will generally be handball as well.
4) CPU defenders know EXACTLY where you are going, yet when you try to conservative tackle them, the CPU players just run past in a straight line.
5) The fastst people on the game are simply powerless against almost any opposition player trying to outrun them. Thus resulting in 2)
6) Trucks have better turning circles than anyone on this game, or if you dont sprint, you can perform perfect right-angled turns.
7) Your players HAVE to chase down every ball, even if they cant control it, so the CPU gets a thow-in/corner/goal kick.
And I believe that THE most annoying thing (its probably just me who thinks this) 8) If you choose to slide ahead of the player you want to tackle, get the ball, but the player then trips on your torso, their clumsiness is suddenly a foul!! Often resulting in a yellow card or sometimes RED!
Even though all these things are bad, everythhing else on the game overshaows it. Making it a fantastic game.
