Of course I did better playing like I normally do as just before I read your post I had played a game against the same team and won 3-1 in regulation but then in that game I was passing more as I was simply playing how I like to play rather than testing how the game works so that could be a reason. Thanks for the reminder on not overusing the sprint function.

Understood.

And just so people understand. This is just on offense, you must use sprint on defense at certain times or the CPU will abuse you.

From what I have observed the CPU seems to also have a different "gear" when running.

If it works like this;

User/CPU
Walk - 1
Trot - 2
Jog - 3
Run - 4
Sprint - 5

CPU has an additional 4.5 speed. Quick enough to leave you in the dust without sprinting. But if you do sprint you over take them.

Perhaps something like a 3/4 press in of RT using analog sprint could replicate it but I am still never certain analog sprint works correctly. Or that I have it right on the spot on the trigger that creates "4.5 level" speed. The tolerance on the RT using analog sprint isn't so exact.

I haven't switched the settings in any FIFA game and I want to get the best experience out of the series (i.e. slider adjustments in NHL) Those who have mentioned being "manual players" can you shed a little light on how this differs from the default settings? What do I have to change in the Settings to make the gameplay "manual"?I'm very naive when it comes to this game and thought I best ask the experts.

So good...

Manual refers to the assist level of shooting and passing. In the Control Settings you would change all the ones that say Assisted or Semi to Manual.

The game will play completely different. The CPU will not adjust for you power or direction. And none of your passes will be auto locked to your teammates.

This demo is my first Current-Gen (Next-Gen to some) FIFA experience. And I just made a freaking awesome header into the bottom right corner of the net with Rickie Lambert right at the end of a sweet cross from Raheem Sterling. For some reason, I've never been able to actually accomplish a scoring header in FIFA 14, it's either a little or wide right or left, or up, and at times I even manage to hit the post and the ball bounces out. But since I made my first header playing the Current-Gen demo, I went to go look at the replay. Zooming in on the ball, I actually noticed the grass movements correspond with the feet of Sterling. Everytime he took a step during his run, the grass under his foot flattened like it would realistically and then shot back up. These graphics are amazing. I can't wait until the game comes out, first day purchase for me. I also don't find the defense as difficult as some are claiming.

So great! I did the exact same thing last night. I used Chelsea for the first time and wow what an easy team to win with.

Costa scored, of course, and when I was watching the replay I zoomed in real close and was checking out those same boot prints in the grass. It really is amazing. Rain effects too, while the splashing of water isn't as close to real as the prints are it sure does look cool.

Yes there is lag, the fix is that you have to turn off your internet connection in the Network options menu before you load the demo..
