Action on the field has been significantly enhanced for this new release. New super moves increase the intensity of every part of the game, allowing players to dominate the field when they pass, dribble, tackle or block with their own special techniques. Even blocking goal shots becomes more tactical with a new system that pits goalkeeper against shooter, letting both players experience and counter jaw dropping super shots and blocks from characters of the original series.
