I think you nailed it. Even on Legendary you can perform tricks in the box like it's FIFA Street. This to me is makes it unplayable. There's a lot of good in this game but this blemish is too much for me. Defense isn't sexy and doesn't sell in advertisements but it doesn't mean it should be absent from the product.

I cant wait for the retail.

This I do like. There's a lot of nice jostling animations that will make you put your hands in the air asking for the yellow when the ref finally does stop play and call the foul.

agree with the weak defending in the box. The goals come pretty easy once I get in or near the box. It's the type of goals where if I post it on YouTube, the fifa snobs would come out and keep posting comments like "noob. You play on amateur! " even though it's on legendary

In the product description it says:

"New Passes—Two new passing options give players the ability to finesse passes over the outstretched leg of a defender or play lower trajectory lofted through balls into space or to teammates."

Can someone explain how to do these new passes?

I agree the defense is just awful the computer always gets people in the box wide open and my guys just stand there. Hopefully it is just the demo and it will be better in the real game but right now it isn't fun to see the computer constantly run into the box with no one even trying to pick them up.

I actually liked playing it on all manual, it did feel a lot better because I had to really think about what way I was passing. The first touch system is pretty good so there are a lot of good things in the game they just need to improve the defense a lot.

This is why there is no reward feeling to it... the defender should be in my back pocket and he's not. They need to get some of the Stoke defenders in the office for FIFA 14.
