It seems that Konami hasn’t done an awful lot to push the series on since their last release. However, when we say the same highs, we mean exactly the same highs. It’s a pitfall that the series continues to fall into and it’s a real shame because the game hits the exact same highs as well. The player models for the iconic players are recognisable but as you stray away from these players and teams, you find that you’ll struggle to tell the players apart, especially since the names aren’t accurate as well.
Sadly though, they fall flat once again with this outing. The game has never been able to match the licences that FIFA can provide, leading to team names like Merseyside Red and Man Blue but for the most part, this is something that can be overlooked provided the graphics hit the mark. The game series has always had one key drawback preventing it from truly blowing FIFA out of the water and that is its visual presentation.
