I gotta laugh at your sig, the view is void but still quite funny I must admit
It's not a completely different game on PC compared to XBOX360, you can't tell me they go around making different codes for different formats of the same game. There'll be better graphics on the Next gen consoles of it, but thats to be expected.
Well there's where you're wrong. Having played the PC version before experiencing the PS3 version there is a definite difference in gameplay. It may not be a completely different engine but there are differences. This isnt just me saying it, but it is from the developers. These are the features that have been implemented or improved on in the 360 and PS3 versions:
* When a player shoots there will be infinite aspects affecting where the ball will end up; air speed and resistance, the pressure on the player from defenders, the position they are in, and what speed and direction they are moving for examples.
* Players possibly have endless animations, and react realistically to situations, even if the ball is not near them.
* There are reported to be few glitches, such as: Players won't run through goalposts, they will go around or stop themselves (the same with boards around the field).
* Players won't run through each other, instead they will fall over each other or move out of the way.
* Players will jostle for the ball, it's no longer a case of just pressing a button to tackle, the player has to take into account other players on the field and possible options for the opposing player with the ball.
* Passing is no longer as easy as just ground passing, lobbed balls and through-balls will play a much bigger role in moving up the field successfully, as do skill moves.
* Skill moves are fluent, and animations run into each other, instead of being stopped and changed.
* Matches are more atmospheric with improved crowd animations, stadium announcements, and improved graphics for both players and stadiums.
I know for a fact due to having played both the versions of the game that none of the above features are evident in the PC version of the game. There is a definite difference between the 2 versions.
