Hmmm, I played the game again, ran and then sprinted and looked carefully on the replay while zoomed right in, and I couldn't see any problems with the way they run. The player animations look so realistic because full motion-captured player animation is used. Meaning that the animation for the running players is completely based on a real person running. How exactly do you think the players run like Forest Gump? lol.
I've not played a FIFA game and am concerned that I may find a strategy very quickly that scores most of the time and then the game is essentially broken for me. This happened years ago with an early version of NHL I bought. Is this likely to be the case with a FIFA game or no?
i would say thats very unlikely. i dont think the AI would be stupid enough to keep repeating but rather do things differently sometimes. im sure some teams will have different formations, mentality, attributes will be unique per player and etc. you wont be able to find that problem imo
Well... I also think the players in X2 run quite bizarrely (or however you spell it) - Their arms move extremely fast, and are straight all the way, all the time. Other than that, X2 is a very good game.
Maybe it's just different running styles that people are used to. I knew a guy at school, who was an American and he ran completely different to everyone else, lol. I think that running styles vary from where you were brought up. For example if you were brought up in some 'gangsta ghetto' then you would probably run like you stole something, whereas if you where brought up in an area of dense fast food restaurants then you would probably run like you have eaten too much/need to get to the toilet fast. Just my crazy theory......
Anyone know the price? I am sure it will be $9.99 but am hoping for an entry sale of $7.99 like Madden did.
