Hmmm. No fouls at all, some advantage called but are you serious with the lack of fouls?

I thought pinball passing was gone and that players had to gather their first touch. Seems like all players pass like Xavi/Pirlo, all pinpoint, not much gathering of the touch at all. Gets to the player and is quickly perfectly passed on. I don't care who the teams are, that shouldn't happen save for a few skilled passers.

Still can just go up and take the ball away with no consequence, not good.

Announcing is still awful and the atmosphere is a joke. Seemed indicative of a match down the road at the local high school, not a match between two European powers.

At least these guys played the game with some semblance of how real futbol is played, didn't race for the goal, etc. Still, this game seems tired. Is it fun, yes it is fun to play and the animations are great. Still just doesn't feel like futbol, and that gets me bored quickly.

Not sure if the stadium has any effect on the atmosphere, but they aren't playing at the Emirates or Bernabeu. Looks like a generic Football League stadium.

As for the passing, I don't know if the Pro Passing thing is supposed to make it more like manual, but at some points it looked like manual (players having to run to slightly errant passes) and sometimes it looked like it was on assisted.

Looks like FIFA 10 with newer animations and more fluid ball movement.

I just saw a foul called 3 mins into the video

The announcing, to me, was bad only due to the bad programming. Tyler kept interrupting himself to catch up on the most immediate action.

As for the atmosphere, I'd hope that wouldn't be an issue. They (pretty much) captured it greatly in WC2010 (I haven't played any other FIFA game in like 4~6 years and I can't even remember it), so I assume it won't be too dull in the bigger stadia in FIFA.

As for the fouls, passing, etc, maybe these 2 players are just godly players (they are the devs afterall)? Or maybe they had settings a certain way? I'm not sure what the point of this video was, probably just to show some new animations, more fluid play, etc etc.

Seems very similar to 10 to me. I had alredy decided to go back to PES this year but this video further confirms that choice IMO.
