Players have amazing first touch in this game and I mean all players, I play in the Eredivisie in my Career mode and players can easily bring down some rocket longs balls down of one foot in stride. I have given up on the game though, I don't think I can find it in me to play it anymore. Also the game seriously lags for me at times offline, it totally ruins my experience along with the AI and the a few other issues.

On plus though, in my Newcastle career mode have I have was able to draw 4 penalties in the first 5 games. 2 came in one game however those were the few fouls I have seen in games though.

Im on the PS3 I dont think you can clear your cache on it. The early release played just fine, and the disk is clean and I am running it on a Ps3 slim. Its weird every other game runs fine.

That's the one thing that has always hampered the Fifa series and it still hasn't been fixed. It's a major problem imo: Every player still traps the ball like ronaldinho. There is absolutely no individuality when it comes to first touch, which seriously hampers the series. Pro Evolution has this element down pact.

it seems to my that goalkeepers during penalties throw themselves way too early

this is the best football game ever

it needs more signature style though

jockeying with A seems to have been made for casual players - it feels like being on auto-pilot to me

Agreed, though sometimes you'll see a trap that goes a bit further than most (though it is still relatively close by) but it seems to be way too random as opposed to when a hard or difficult pass comes in.
