People hate this game for what it represents and I get it. However, the gameplay itself is sooo deep and solid. There’s really layers to this game and it has a steep learning curve. That may turn off some but it makes it highly replay able to me. One of the biggest criticisms of this game is the lack of “content”, but the first strikers was set up basically the same way. I think the online club component and the room to develop your actual skill beats out any kind of story mode. Fantastic game.
