Four minute halves and the knowledge that gameplay will be patched render the demo worthless as a tool to decide whether or not to get the game. Thank goodness for EA access.

...is beautiful and really plays to the strengths of strong players like Zlatan -- even it is a little overpowered right now. Sadly, CPU teams tend to still play the same and the tactical options look to be unchanged, creating what can be a repetitive experience.

Stop giving EA money people. God. How lazy is that? Still, year after year. This is a huge community concern, and for a game that sells 150 million copies they cant be bothered.

The physical play overhaul only seems to have made the CPU even more passive in the box. I love it for the human but I've seen the CPU too many times when afforded space in the box post up on a defender rather than push down the touchline or take a shot. The Ai's positioning defensively is awful once the game opens up also. I summed it up in a vid if anybody wants to see examples.

Let's be real, the new story career mode (where you actually don't create anything) is the biggest thing here. I honestly don't see a big change in graphics while you play the game, even though I love the lighting Frostbite creates in video games, I don't see it here. I am not good at FIFA (I don't buy it every year) but the fact that I finished 3-0 the first game and 2-2 the second one, tells me very little has changed. On the other hand PES demo is just pure fun and hard, like fútbol should be. It is a shame Konami is not putting enough money for licenses because the game is a masterpiece when we talk about gameplay.
