Good idea but currently unplayable

Update: Dont disregard just because I say the controls are bad. I did give it 5 or 6 games before reviewing.
I feel the idea of the movement control is poor. This isnt about learning curve, it is about a poor concept. I like the kicking control.

Original review:
I like a few aspects of this app so I will keep it on my iPod for potential updates but for now it is basically unplayable.

Problems:
1. The first person view is very clunky and you dont even know which direction you are going most of the time. You need to set perspective up as behind the back of the player and be slightly above the field.
2. The swipe to move is just no replacement for a virtual joystick. At least as an alternate option. Swipe to kick and to spin the shot is great but not for movement also. Tilt movement is not much better.

Whats good:
1. Walled arena...good idea adds some humor and unpredictability to the game as you can score goals off of the walls.
2. Stats, countries, cups etc. Just because it is cartoonish doesnt mean it needs to lack depth so I like that.
3. I dont think anyone else is doing the swipe for kicking gimmick. I like that the ball turns white when you are in range to kick it. Just be careful you dont swipe the device out of your hands when playing. That is one problem with swiping in many areas of the screen at once.

Two stars for now.
