The players' faces are now so lifelike that it's possible to discern their emotions. Which will come in handy, because things are set to get a lot more physical with the inclusion of new fakes, dummies, flicks and trick shots that will lead to a host of devious infringements and retaliations.
They've also finally perfected the motion-capturing, meaning you should get instant responses from your players, rather than having that slight delay we've come to expect. New domestic and International leagues will add the passion of relegation and promotion battles, with European Cup places at stake for the victors. They've covered all the bases this time, even including teams from leagues as obscure as Portugal and Israel.
Championship races aside, those who enjoyed the nostalgia of the 'historic game' options in World Cup 98 will welcome the chance to pit their team against a selection of classic sides composed of the best players of bygone eras.

Bearing in mind the BBC's complete lack of rights to decent soccer coverage, those commentators are probably hoping that this series will run for ever, which, while it's on this sort of form, would be a right result.

The penalty shoot-outs offer the same excitement as the real thing, though no one rips their shirts off after a monster goal. As far as flaws in the game, there aren't many. A few international teams are missing what have you done with the Ivory Coast?
