Totally based on nothing but my own anecdotal evidence, but I seem to notice that if I went too low on the player speed/accel sliders, it exaggerates how loose the defenders mark the players.

At first I had them at 45, and found that the defending was still shoddy (admittedly, on both sides of the pitch-- human and CPU), even when I turned the marking sliders up to 75. I really noticed how slow the defenders would chug along when they're backtracking, plus how slow they were to close down. So I turned it the speed/accel sliders up to 50 and, even though the game speed is a little quick, at least they seem a little more interested in going after the ball carrier.

And also, I think that changing the defending work rate for your team might also help a bit in helping your players close down (why all CBs aren't set to high by default is beyond me).

that's a good way to describe it. It's annoying me. It affects gameplay because it causes unnecessary bad first touches due to the bouncing ball, where the pass should have been kept on the ground.

On another note, they have a new Mexican commentary team but they don't sound Mexican. Sounds more like Spaniards and not as funny and passionate as the previous years Mexican announce team

Do they do the GOOOOLLL yell when you score? Last year's was a bit toned down. I hope this years is better. Or I'll have to add it thru the custom sounds again.

Commentary choices are English, French and Spanish if I recall.

thanks, Ezio. so, the rumours are probably true. a friend of mine is going to the US and he was curious about this, cause he would buy the game in the US if it had brazilian commentary. since the release date here is october 4, i think the commentary is the main reason for the delay...

How are the fouls? Does the CPU actually foul players instead of there surgical precision tackles and able to just push players to the ground at will?
