too short of games to really tell (2 min halves). speed kills, but strength matters also. robhino can get by people, but j terry will knock him off the ball.

two more weeks!

So you are noticing player differentiation?

The demo is so short that it almost makes me not want to play. By the time I am into the game, it is over and in a shootout.

I am still not grasping how they are going to tweak the manual and auto assist on passing and shooting. It makes it tough to figure out which way to learn the game.

I agree. It's more frustrating than anything, IMO.

absolutely - especially with dribble and control this year. kaka can control in traffic pretty good. strength is the main difference. drogba is tough when crossing....

Sorry I didn't reply to your PM on this, I've been away for a day or two. I have to agree with the other comments... I could really tell when I subbed in Wright-Phillips for Joe Cole. He could blow by slower defenders, but also could be knocked around a bit. Meanwhile, big strong players like Drogba or Kuranyi can go up & get it in the box. There is also a new ball shield control that could make these types even more dangerous, but I haven't really experimented with that yet.

Overall, it seems improved in this area over 08 but with the short halves and small group of players, it's hard to make a definitive judgment (same with a lot of other aspects)...

Thanks for responding qb. Was Drogba lethal in the box?
