I think it came out a day or two ago here (I've seen five different release dates, including Konami's official website claiming it was out on the 11th, which caused frustration
) so I'm going to look for it on the way home today. I'll let yis know what I think. 0 -

I got it yesterday.. it's only $40 here!
At first it felt like typical zany wii fun. The sort of lighthearted thing that all the family can enjoy... nice lofted pass to switch sides, a one two to slice defence open and poking the ball home. Fast, exciting stuff.
Then the frustration set in. Defending felt more like a spectator sport than before. Basically, the (fairly lightweight) introduction tutorials explained defending as: click on the ball carrier to send someone to get the ball off him. And you can even click on him twice to send two players to get it off him. woot
And the opposing defenders never gave me time to orchestrate my intricate playmakings.
BUT! I stuck with it, I read the manual a bit to find the finer techniques, and I'm starting to get a pretty good feel for it. There's so much more to defending than I first thought. Basically, you want to think of this game as a RTSS.. A real-time soccer strategy
If you've got madd stacraft skillz at manipulating all your units everywhere at the speed of light, and trauma centre-conquering precision with the pointer, I can see you putting up a near impenetrable defence.
At the same time, attacking became more intuitive. You learn to look up and, while still keeping an eye on how much space your ball carrier has, manipulate your runs and fake runs and runs which appear fake at first but are really a saucy way of playing a 1-2-3 with Lampard getting the ball to his feet just inside the box and... this game really is in its element in the final third.
You're constantly probing, and it's so simple to choose if you want to play the ball in to feet or send it over the top, or even to your target man for a knockdown... Diagnoal runs are deadly, and you can trigger them at the drop of a hat. When you score a good goal, chances are its because you picked the one spot to roll the ball into where only your forward was able to run onto it. But every goal's felt a bit a special so far, even the straightforward headed crosses.
I still have issues with it... when you lose possession because the defender anticipates your wicked through ball, it feels good, but sometimes you lose possession because you're trying to dribble into space and accidentally send someone else off on the run, leaving your ball-carrier stranded, and that sucks.
Also, even when you feel like you've got everyone man marked, and two solid rows of four defending your box, Berbatov still manages to crawl through your centreback and score, but I guess that happens in real life, too
When you gain possession in your own box under pressure, it's extremely difficult to pass or dribble out of it (there are so many bodies in such a tight space that you never who you're clicking on), so I usually end up doing a hoofed clearance.
Oh, and free kicks are completely worthless, though I think I've only had two so far, so maybe I just need more practice with them.
At least the good throw-ins are back! And when your keeper gets the ball, it zooms out and you can almost pass to anyone on the pitch.
At the end of the day, it's a great idea, but it won't replace the standard control-pad footie game, at least not without some serious refinement. Sometimes, when I'm playing a RTS, I just yearn to get down there and take better control of one person and play a FPS instead 0 -

Good review.
HehBasically, you want to think of this game as a RTSS.. A real-time soccer strategy If you've got madd stacraft skillz at manipulating all your units everywhere at the speed of light, and trauma centre-conquering precision with the pointer, I can see you putting up a near impenetrable defence. You should trademark that!
What is the shooting like, esp the long-range stuff - is there any degree of control over where to place a shot? What about chipping the keeper - is that do-able? Or an entirely automatic thing depending on the player you're in control of + the situation.You're constantly probing, and it's so simple to choose if you want to play the ball in to feet or send it over the top, or even to your target man for a knockdown...

Presumably the corners aint up to much either?Oh, and free kicks are completely worthless, though I think I've only had two so far, so maybe I just need more practice with them.
All sounds good however! Looking forward to giving it a go.0 -

free kicks aint up to much if you're shooting..but corners re brilliant,you can get all your players to make runs into the box and pick them out...great game...a few flaws but i guess its natural being the first try0 -
