From what i've heard from people... They seemed to have changed it alot... Better dribling skills(bad or good?) and more tricks to use. Aparently the cpu has progressed as well...
I played this 2 player for several hours last night and am very impressed. At first the differences arent that clear, there is a improved graphical engine, the players are better defined and animated, most noticeable in the cut scenes. The main gameplay variations are what makes this, particularly the sidepass X+L1 when in the final third of the pitch is very handy when attacking whilst there are new tricks like a 360 turn (very cool when you pull it off) for example. Im sure as I play far more will come to light, but right now Im enjoying this thoroughly. The best just got better it would appear. Once the English league patch is released complete with Nationwide teams Ill be in heaven
Superb. In a word. Absolutely superb. Personally I never thought Konami would be able to better Final Evolution, but more fool me for doubting them because they have.
Most of the little niggles that needed to be addressed have been given some attention. No longer does your player run in a straight-line when the ball has been fed to him, causing the defender to get there first. There were moments yesterday, where Riquelme put the ball into space and Kluivert latched onto it with ease and stuck it away.
The game itself feels somewhat "lighter" than previous iterations. The players move around a little more quickly now, thus making some quick passing play possible and it certainly makes for interesting contests too. A welcome improvement. As is the player animation, which has obviously been given a lot of attention.
The tussle between two players chasing for the ball has been addressed as well and looks and acts more realistic than before. Another slight niggle that imposed itself on Final Evolution, was the stupid little "spin" a player does when he's been dispossesed of the ball, it's yet another quirk that has been addressed and isn't as severe as it is Final Evolution.
