However, again, there is the danger of reading into this too much as all the teams in the demo do tend to play the ball on the ground—if I see Stoke playing like this in the full game, then it’s a definite problem.

I had the same thought on the part in bold. Because the defense is too conservative and neve really close down any space there is no need for them to try and posess the ball and move the ball backwards and actually try and break down the opposition. Also, as for your Stoke reference, I agree and I may have to play them in my first game with ST

It makes (more) sense in Madden, but it's a cartoon in FIFA. To run like that for an entire match would require every PED known to man.

You know you can change the game speed, even on the demo, right?

I'm excited but fear it will be a replica of last years.

I'm downloading the demo right now.... Checking it out to see if it's worth a buy..... I don't know the game of soccer....BUT the game always looks good.... Haven't bought it in the last 2 years though....

Haha, yeah, if they get the first touch control thing right, I'm really tempted to start a career mode with Stoke and play with Pulis' tactics. Basically, hoof as many balls up at Terry as possible .

What i really want to see is if the CPU will play that way. I doubt they will to be honest but we will see on Friday

I couldn't score or defend in FIFA12. I'm not great at soccer games, but always loved playing them. Last years game took the joy out of it. FIFA13 looks and plays a lot better to me, and its only the demo. Looking forward to getting my hands on the complete game.
