I'm rubbish at this. I'm rubbish at most football games (with the possible exception of International Sensible Soccer on the Mega Drive), but this is harder than most. As well as the standard controls to battle with - in particular, I can never remember which is shoot and which is a high pass - EA have included a number of touch-screen controls on this. You can tap a player to pass to him, except by the time you've tapped there he's probably moved and you'd be better off passing with the B button. You can tap on an area of the screen to shoot in the goal (tap top-left to shoot top-left), but by the time you've looked down at the pad to accurately aim, you've missed your chance.
I do like playing football games, but that enjoyment mostly comes in the five seconds of the match when I manage to score a goal. That happened only once.
The thing is, as hopeless as I am at this, and as much as I find real-life football boring, there's an attraction about videogame football that I can't ignore. This is one of the better versions I've played, and I'm sure I'll get used to the touch controls at some point.
