SummaryImproved but not perfectPros: Mostly the commentary is great and there are good crowd chants. The graphics are solid with a decent frame rate and good player likenesses. And the gameplay is superb even without off the ball control. Finally fans from lower divisions will relish the chance to play lower league teams.
Cons: The commentary is sometimes off-topic. For example, Motson will ramble on about how these sort of games can be the difference from relegation and staying up. In a FA cup game. Also the off the ball control is a disaster as the AI will tackle you before your move is made on every mode above amateur.

Generally this game has good points more than bad ones and will last until 2005's edition at least. Definately one for alll footy fans to pick up.
