Really? That's something I think all of us wanted out of the game. I think the majority of us still think there are too many cut scenes still in the game. I guess in matters of opinion, no one can be wrong.

Loved that the AI makes mistakes in the passing game. They lead too far or completely miss the run which I love. No more super passing. Also like the more control part. I was able to bring in the ball and felt like I had much more control after a trick then past editions.

I like the ref running up with the card vs. the close-up, but had one where it ended up cutting to the ref like in Fifa09. Would have liked to have seen some better intro shots. I'm liking the new camera angles for corners and goal kicks. But there's still something that is lacking in the overall atmosphere. But I'll take those little niggles in light of how much more fluid and intelligent the game plays now. Just wondering how MM will end up. That's my Fifa bread and butter.

Perhaps a PS3 vs. 360 thing?

It sucks, because I'm not a fan of playing at dusk.

I just downloaded the demo and played 2 games so far and I like the gameplay so far. Either that or I'm just craving some soccer right now LOL. Even though some of the graphics are a lot like last year and not that it's a bad thing, but I wanted some kind of improvement because gameplay is just as solid.

Don't know if any of you have tried the camera angeles, but I played one game on Broadcast and I like that angle even though when the ball is on top of the pitch, it seems far away, but I like the way the camera moves with the ball.

They could always put a option to turn on/off. Personally I liked the cut scenes I saw in Euro UEFA 08.

I see why some wouldn't like it though. I at least hope winning a championship brings a more dynamic celebration.

Yep, the ref running up with the card is awesome and I like it better as well compared to the close up.

Like you though man, I'm hoping MM scores this year as that mode has been neglected for a while.

After playing both the PES and FIFA demo's, I have to say I like the PES one better. PES does feel a bit unresponsive, but I'm hoping the demo is from an early build of the game and the final will be more polished.

FIFA looks the same as 09 graphics wise, while PES looks light years better than last year. The pace of FIFA still seems off, its still basketball on grass, PES pace feels just right. Once again the camera angles suck in FIFA - I want to throw up after playing - trying to use the Pro view which has been terrible for the past couple of years, I can't understand how Konami can get the Pro angle perfect and EA can't even come close.

This will probably be the first year I won't buy FIFA - maybe I will get it further down the road, I have bought and played it for years and only got into PES in the last few months. PES looks and plays more like a soccer game is supposed, even without offical licenses,
I prefer to edit the game myself anyway.
