Football games will always be much better on traditional control pads.
Adding motion sensing just makes things more awkward and has only been included for the sake of it. Nothing is any more realistic.

You need to use the 'up and down' camera view to get the most out of the wii controls, but has anyone noticed that even with the camera zoomed right out, you can only see the players closest to you?
With the traditional view you can actually see who is on your wings, or who you can through ball to.

The more I play of this game, the more I realise they havnt made all these changes because they make the game better. They have done it just to make use of the motion sensing controls.
-The throw ins are pointless. Un responsive and dont add anything to the game.
-Its very hard to sprint after players and tackle them.
-The goal kick feature is also pointless.
-You can't see where most of your players are (who really uses the radar?)


Appart from that, (although it may not seem like it!) I actually quite like the game.
Pro Evo hopefully will have learnt a few lessons from FIFA and be much better.

I agree with f1982 on all fronts ...the throw ins suck !! You find yourself jumping up and down with arms flailing just so u can throw in or goalkick its pretty annoying that when you want to shoot alot of the time by the time the player respond to your command , its too late but like f1982 i do enjoy the game but in most cases for me traditional controls would have been better

Spot on! Purely for the sake of it! That was my first impressions and after a total of about 10 hours playing it, it still is. I am having a bit of fun with it but there are moments that I feel the novelty is wearing off, (until I score a goal).

I dont like the "up and down" camera, the broadcast and dynamic ones are quite good apart from when you shoot, it just becomes blind luck. Perhaps a more mobile camera that moves more depending on the position your in, although this obviously wouldn't work in multi-player.

-The throw ins are pointless. Un responsive and dont add anything to the game.

I quite like the throw-ins, because there is a bit more to them than just doing the throwing action. I like trying to fox the opposition by moving a player into position then throwing it to another unmark man.

-The goal kick feature is also pointless.

I have meant to ask this before, but how do you kick the ball out when the goalie is holding it. When I actually achieve it, it is just fluke. The amount of goals I have lost because of some stupid little through out to an opposing player when trying to quickly punt it up the park is just not funny.

I hope so too!

just move the remote as if your going to shoot

[Samster]

........or press C to drop the ball to the ground then hold A+B to kick it out

Those that are having a problem with the throw-ins, just be sure that you actual have both controllers inverted and that way it works every time with very little effort.

I have trouble heading the ball, either from a cross or from a drop kick. am i just being dense? i've tried flicking the remote down like i think it says in the manual but it doesnt seem to work, anyone got any ideas?

[Samster]

Heading / volleying is the same motion, flick remote down from a flat position.

You need to time it right though, I sometimes end up slide tackling and fouling the opposition when I want to head / volley

So you cannot use regular controls?? Are you sure? The motion thing sounds compicated... i used to fifa on gamecube and wanted the controls to stay almost the same... i want to buy it so please let me know

Anyone know if you can use the 'classic' controller for this game? If you can, i'm buying one.
