Don't hold the direction the entire time while shooting. It's gradual and adjusts to how much power and direction you want.

Ok, so just tap it while I'm holding B? Also how do you dive with the goalie?

The good: Really great ball physics. I have never seen a virtual ball behave so realistic. Player movement and general locomotion are really great. Much more realistic defending, no more pitt-bull! Tricks aren't so powerful. Nice presentation touches with beginning of the match and the players all being shown on subs.

The not so good: Fifa seems to downgrade the graphics with each title. Minor framerate issues with player cam. Game still doesn't capture the "authentic" nature of the competitor, IMO. Getting better in NPC movements and CPU does tricks, but still seemingly a "broad stroke" approach to players. Personalty plus, but not "sig style." Still don't really feel that player is a virtual Ronaldo, especially as a CPU-controlled player.

Hopefully with the advances I see in the general AI behaviors, this game will become more of a sim-style game. I've still seen too many Fifa fast-break moments for my liking. Will buy it, but have some worries this game is going to end up feeling inferior to the comp in the "sim" department. I actually hope to average 2-3 goals per, vs. the 8-1 routs that end up being track meets and counter-attack fests. Wish I had a longer match to really see how the AI acts over a full 90 minutes, if it goes "route 1" after 2 goals in the first half. Good job Fifa team, but gonna have to place you third behind NBA2k and PES.

Will Chelsea have their championship patches on their kit in the final version?
