It's the same game but a bit worse, believe it or not. Gameplay is exactly the same, referees seem a bit worse and the lower-league squads are a DISGRACE - they've got eleven players for each team and then they've just put "player 13" - e.g. Smith, Jones, Davies, #13, #17. No research at all, surely they could have just sucked data out of the main current-gen database rather than have to do seperate DS research and fuck it up completely??
Still, if you only support the big teams, I suppose the graphics are enough of an improvement to make you look twice at the game. The PSP version is far more impressive though (and this is coming from someone who plays his DS three times a week and his PSP once a month).
