Sliders are important. I think the "stock" game doenst feel that great but tweaking the sliders helps a lot to improve gameplay in my opinion.

Using Mau U, hosting Mexico

Played 39 minutes of the first half and paused to say a few quick things:

-Slow is still a bit fast for me. Wish there was a very slow like in Madden

-Mexico has fouled me 3 times from behind. First 2 were simple free kick re-starts but the 3rd cost them a yellow card. Great to see the cpu fouling me

-Conversely, and sadly, I cannot foul the cpu no matter what I do, not even slide tackling from behind. i believe this was in last years game as well.

-The game is visually stunning

Now that Royce showed me where I can start an exhibition game, I'm going to host the Netherlands to see if they will shoot from distance against me. Last year, for the most part, they did not.

I also want to see if the CPU changes formation based on score. If I'm up 2 goals late will they drop a defender for a 3rd striker? Last year the cpu did not do that.

I am a PES guy and have always bought PES but, like last year, am using Season Ticket to determine if I would buy FIFA. I won't buy both games.

Question for those who have the game. How do you get the ESPN graphics and intro? Is it default when you pick a regular exhibition game? From the MLS video's I've seen on youtube, they all start with the EA Sports intro and graphics but the La Liga video Ive seen has the ESPN graphics.

KG,

Juve did play 3-5-2. There still is not enough midfield play IMO and I think that is because when the CPU gets the ball they are still very direct in their approach. I would not say Pirlo dictated the pace but that could be because I was up 2-0 at HT. I will say those I feel his pressence was felt with his passing. Also, Juve definetly came out attacking in the 2nd half trailing 2-0 which was good to see. I want to see what happens if a team is winning though because in the past they still attacked.

Attacking is one thing. Changing formation is another. Do you remember if they dropped a defender and added a striker? Did the formation shape change? Were players pushed up at every position?

I'm hoping to see this

I can say they didn't attack when up.
My question is though is the AI aware enough to not attack when down on leg 2 of a game but up overall on aggregate.
