[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 686"] I got WCR as soon as it came out and, although I enjoyed it for a short time, I found that after finishing all the single player modes I got very bored very quickly and went straight back to SJRL... While there are some things like passing and so on in WCR that are better than SJRL, overall SJRL is by far the superior game. A lot of people complain about defending in SJRL and how hard it is, but you just need to get your tactics right (eg: no randomly switching players as soon as the other team makes a tiny break) and while the player graphics aren't as pretty, SJRL does look more polished than WCR on the whole (stadiums and correct field markings did help here).
