Games I Dislike That Everybody Else Likes
Holy shit. Outrageously, gobsmackingly bad - a shocking downgrade of every entry that came before it on the system (even including the unfinished build that can't get past the 2nd quarter). Let's get the only three positives out of the way now: the tackle animations look a bit better, the passing is the most responsive so far, and it's got the best intro movie up to this point. Otherwise this somehow manages to do everything way, way worse - the graphics in particular no joke unironically hurt my eyes: the fields look crappier and the characters all look like ass-ugly turds sporting T-1000 arms with less animations than previous games. The framerate is also unconscionably slow, even on menus (those are even so much inferior here, btw) - you'll have more eaten inputs than you can count on two hands, games run like molasses, and characters always flicker in and out of existence because the game can barely handle anything that's going on at any given second. You'll throw a ball to an invisible character who won't pop in until the last second which, for a football game where you're always passing to/receiving from/kicking to/dodging other players, makes this next to unplayable. Also the dash here looks like Fall Guys. Even setting the damn thing up is a cryptic, irritating chore. Sound sucks, too.
