Thanks. Good to know. I'll look for that next time. Don't know how I missed it.

Yeah it's somewhat hidden, at the bottom of the first page of game settings, you have to scroll down to see it, it's not displayed right away.

First impression from the demo - awful. I have had tons of fun in the last few years but in the demo anyway it just seems all the fun is gone. It might be that I think the new tackling system is garbage or the cpu play too perfect but it might just be I am not used to FIFA anymore. Will give it a few more games but hating it so far.

Plus the first-teamers seem to have real boots and not generic ones. I didn't bother to check all the reserve/youth guys. I know there are some licensing hurdles in assigning authentic boots.

Szcz and Gervinho looke horrible from the demo. Both players have generic face models, which just seems kind of ridiculous. I'm also pretty steamed at the rating they gave Szcz, I really think he is one of the better young keepers in the world based on some of the saves he has made for Poland and Arsenal both.

I think his rating is pretty fair but I would have expected them to get Gervinho's face spot on.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Gervinho. Neither look bad during play, but up close their generic faces do stand out due to the quality of the real scans.

As for SZCZ's rating, 78 is probably a touch low, but it's not outrageous. Hopefully player growth is OK this year and he'll progress nicely.

I don't remember what his individual GK ratings are, but those mean more to me than his overall. Using FIFA GK attributes I'd rank his abilities like this (in descending order, all rough estimates):

Reactions (85)
1v1 (85)
Handling (80)
Diving (80)
Positioning (70, since it's the rating most related to "GK experience")
Kicking (65)

Your kicking could be lower, haha. I swear, if the ball is moving, he can't hit it.

Seems spot on to me. He's not a very good Keeper. Only Wenger would think hes good enough.
