: While the physics are improved, some cutscene animations can appear choppy or "Neanderthal-like" compared to the fluid in-game movement.

: The introduction of Personality+ means that a player's real-life abilities are better reflected in the game, affecting how they move and handle the ball. Pro Passing adds a layer of difficulty where the accuracy of a pass depends on the user's timing and the player's skill.

: Despite the graphical jump, the game is remarkably well-optimized. It can run on older hardware, including integrated chips like the Intel HD Graphics 3000, at respectable resolutions like 1366x768.
