Snapping ligaments and stretching the limits of decency, football style

There's something sickly satisfying when you're able to produce a grotesque injury with a vicious tackle using the "Clash" super slo-mo feature, including some godawful disturbing images of snapped ligaments and cracked fibulas. On the other hand, we really miss the signature hypercharged announcer who used to call the games with a zeitgeist sadly lacking here. In fact, his somnambulant replacement seems barely interested in the goings on, no matter how heated the action gets.

Unfortunately, there's no doubt that the visuals and audio are decidedly antiquated (the cutscenes are laughably ugly), to the point that we can barely tell the difference between our 360 title and the versions released last year on the older consoles. This can't really pawn itself off as a real next-generation kind of game, save for inclusion of Achievements.
