Actually, you can adjust them in the demo,too. Just when you start a match go into the options and check your camera settings. Height and zoom are available. I lowered and zoomed the Pro Cam. Great stuff.Brian

All I have to say is that there was just a handball, or at least that is the only reasonable explanation I could think of, and a yellow card was given. A cross by Jankulovski hit of Bordon's chest and then his arm. Wow. This is awesome.

I like the demo, but man it is way too fast, and no longer smooth like 08. I understand they needed to make it more responsive, but cutting out frames of an animation isnt the way to do it. It just seems too much like they are going they way PES with ultra fast gameplay to get responsiveness.

that is the same way i feel forensicd it is way to fast and even if you put slow on the settings it doesnt really make a difference they also took away the Lt+Rt function when you have the ball i used it alot in 08 to setup plays

Try setting the game speed to Slow.

Did the demo freeze up for any of you guys when you first played it?

I personally don't see anything wrong with the speed, specially since if you try to just run through people in World Class difficulty, you'll lose possession pretty easily. I am a fan of slower gameplay, and at least at the default speed that the demo is running, it seems pretty balanced. I like it how you have to build up or you're pretty screwed to get a change at goal. Lob crosses are no longer a sure thing as in 08, with defenders reacting much better.

The only thing I didn't like a bit was that while your teammates are much more intelligent, they still don't pressure the ball enough, even when you instruct them to. They also seem to be caught out of position at times if you don't switch fast enough. That's a minor gripe though, because as I kept playing more, I found it to be much more responsive and could position them well enough to make a play. Could improve a bit though.

did you try adjusting the custom tactics to make your team more aggressive?
