Hey guys, after 4 months of playing the "full" release of the game, I'm ready to give my annual realism review of it, how it compares to PES, what was fixed compared to 0.9, and what needs to be worked upon.:
It's around 90-mins long, again, but I start with a "mini-review" of sorts, and leave the details for those who want to keep watching. I broke down the gameplay to the principle components. Some aspects of the 1.x game, like Tactical off-ball movement, actually pleasantly surprised me, and I was going in ready to rip into them. Same goes to ball physics, although shooting physics are still a big downgrade. Here's to hoping we get offline modes soon (Konami probably doesn't want to cannibalize its online player numbers by releasing it now), because I'm enjoying Legend AI in EF, as well as the game's pace, way more than I did in PES. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the watch!
