Personally, I'm not a huge soccer fan, I don't watch it on TV much and I haven't played it since I was in middle school but I love this game. It really is enjoyable and even if you're not huge into shocker you can get addicted to this game as I have.
The only reason I didn't give this game a 10/10 is because I don't see any options on here to do country vs country matches, like France vs Italia, etc. That would be the only thing that I would change about this game. However you can do inter-league matches between the two countries, but what I am referring to are the world cup matches that you can do. It's not a big deal though, there are plenty of other great things about this game, even the part where you can practice 1 on 1 with the goalie while the game is loading up.
I also think the graphics are very good as well. There are a number of camera angles that you can use if you want, personally I use the 'tele' camera view because that's just what I feel most comfortable with.
There is also a be-a-pro game mode that I love using where you can control your own player and you make your way through a career starting out as an unknown local and you can work your way up to being an international star. Those are the little types of things that make this game enjoyable from me, and once again I stress that I'm not a huge soccer fan but this game is definitely interesting to me and extremely fun to play, not to mention the fact that it has a ton of replay value as well. It's not going to be one of those games where you just play it a couple of times and then you get bored of it, this is the type of game that you keep instead of trading in because you know there is a ton of stuff that you can do with this game.
I probably wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't such a deal from gamefly, which is another thing I love about gamefly. The game is only a year old and for someone who doesn't religiously follow soccer, it's not a big deal if I don't have minor roster updates.
