Presentation is ugly. Uses the gritty, hip hop stylings so typical of the mid 90s. Think Nintendo's "Play it Loud" campaign

Graphics are the worst so far. Player models are more shaded but seem somehow less human than previous two games.

Crowd noise is weird. Hard to pin down what it sounds like. Whatever it is it's a broken record
