Plays really well -- I actually feel players' momentum (which is something I haven't typically seen from EA Sports games), and you do have to actually strategize in order to score goals. This actually plays pretty close to real soccer!

Plus, there are a bunch of modes to keep me entertained, so there's definitely replay value with this bad boy. It still might be a little high at $60 (I think $45-$50 would be fair), but I am not upset at all that I purchased this game.

I read on the Gamespot review that all 203 teams are fully licensed. I find that almost impossible to believe but would be thoroughly impressed if so. I'm downloading the game while at work, so I'm anxious to do a little fact checking myself. A few things I want to find out are...

How many teams have real players
How many teams have real kits/crests
How many teams have real anthems

If they managed to get everything from Spain to Suriname right, then they really went all out with the license (which would be a first!). I always wonder why they don't include the few national teams that didn't participate in qualifying (namely U.S. territory Guam among five others). There must be some national team license agreement that all teams that participate are involved in or something...That also must be one reason you don't see every national team in every FIFA game (which would call for a bunch of separate licenses)...

Just to add - all 203 teams are definitely not fully licensed. Someone posted videos of all the squads on the selection screen and there are many generic kits/crests (although my little Montserrat was almost spot on - go figure). I've heard that, despite this, the players on every squad are correct (or at least real).

I love that you can start from the 1st round. But I'm a little annoyed that if you do a custom draw it's completely random. You can't have a seeded draw for the next rounds. You customize the first draw and that's it.

You know, I was one of those people who was worried that this would be too arcadey and sped up, but I am pleasantly surprised.

Yes, the speed has been upped - mostly it is noticeable by how quickly passes move along the ground - but it really isn't that bad. If you use manual or semi-assisted passing (with power assistance off), and if you defend the CPU by containing them, you won't see much more end-to-end play than FIFA 14.

I don't need all of them, namely a handful of the starting 11.

Captain your country mode is a little messed up. Depending on your ranking and who your "rivals" are, they will take up 3 spots on the team potentially replacing your star players. Because one of my rivals was a RW, Messi never played, even when we made the World Cup...
