Don’t listen to IGN or any other big “gaming” company that reviews this game and giving it anything higher than a 6. This game was ruined by Nintendo! I had high hopes for it, expecting a few things from the original. Boy were there so many issues with this game. 1st- no sidekicks, all the captains can be on one team. Not really a horrible deal breaker but still I liked the fact I could pick sidekicks and have one main captain to make the team unique. 2nd-the goalies/AI are horrible. The (your) goalie will almost never grab the ball, he will always slap it or chest it or kick it out instead of grabbing it. This has cost me a lot of goals because the goalie slaps it right back at them even though the shot isn’t charged. This also doesn’t get helped by the fact that when you’re switching characters in game, there’s a chance you’ll get switched to the incorrect player. Also, why couldn’t they just keep Kritter as goalkeeper?! He was so much better than whatever this is. 3rd- stadiums, so bland and unoriginal 4th-everyone can do a mega strike (or whatever it’s called in this game) 5th-tackling is horrible, and you’ll need to charge if you don’t equip or use someone with a lot of strength. Same with speed/sprinting. 6th- the item boxes…who’s bright idea was this?! Worst mechanic I have ever seen. Why couldn’t they just give me my items directly like before? Now I have to hope one of my players is near the box(let alone a box both teams could use) to hopefully get the item. 7th-lack of content. There’s only a few cups to play offline and this also doesn’t help with the fact that you only have 10 players to choose from. Should’ve just made a complete game. The only positives here were that it was soccer (football across the world) and that there’s little glimpses of what the game used to be. Overall, this game is at best a 6/10. And that’s only when it’s actually performing well.
