As many have said, the lighting and graphics look great; the animations, mediocre.
I hope the developers understand that in football --- where the game is by necessity played from a wide camera angle so the players are relatively small on screen --- realistic animations actually contribute much more to a sense of realism than realistic graphics do. The fine graphic detail looks great on replays (and screenshots), but as a player you spend 90% of your time in a wide view where you can't even see it. In actual gameplay view, the animations are way more important.
But what about the grass? This baffles me also? What engine is this? Ignite, Infinity?
