It's only a trailer but i thought that too - nobody went with Griezman they just watched him stride through ..again could be 100 reasons whyI agree about animations... don't look like we expected . If you watch the defenders too.. they look and move like retards . Maybe Konami capture this video on "beginner "level of difficult . who know , but the defenders are complete joke .
There's the 3D grass...
Completely disagree. Comparing it to PES 2017 is something I cannot accept. Make sure you check out the gameplay livestream later
Stop this Bolt nonsense already. You are all making a big deal out of it guys.
From Adam Bhatti on similarities between 2018 and 2017 and jerky animations.

He had trial with dortmundBig deal? Lol. I understand you are excited about the game just as I am but open your eyes bro. It's a soccer game! Everybody online will have him just because he'll probably be the fastest player in the game. He is not a SOCCER PLAYER! He should NOT be in the game. Seriously some people...

What I mean is that nobody's forcing you to buy/use him in your game, mate! You all act as if Konami was forcing you to use him when you play with your favourite team or something like that. He'll probably be in there as a Free Agent or in th Extra (fantasy) teams.
