I'm seriously considering cancelling my pre-order, to me the game feels exactly the game. Unlike a lot of people I liked the demo better, the A.I seemed excellent both for you on attack and for the CPU in general. You really noticed the changes but so far it feels exactly the same.

Same cheesy moves by the CPU who feel invincible and frustrating to play against. Same ridiulous speed. No midefield play. Pace is overpowered again. As well as many other problems.

You notice some things but they are very minute, It's a shame I spent £20 to play it early(that's how excited I was) but I guess I get to play other games early next year as well so it's all good. I might still get it, the graphics, modes and licenses really are appealing whereas PES as much as I love it just feels very bland. If we only we had FIFAs extra features and PESs gameplay.

Who knows, maybe I'll only get Football Manager this year.....

Fouls are not an issue. They are definitely in the game.

I was booked for 2 yellow's my last game and both fouls were really borderline. Could easily have been free kick restarts. I was shocked to get booked.

Earlier I posted that I could not get carded no matter what I did. Wrong! I received a red for tackling from behind.

But, the perfection of the CPU passes kills any enjoyment for me. I set the cpu pass error slider to 75 and they ended a game with 96% passing.

The cpu also plays too directly forward for me. All teams seem to play the same. The build up is non existent, even with Barca and Spain.

Barca had a 2 goal lead and still barreled forward. They do not play that way, ever, not even with a 1 goal lead. They normally move it around laterally and allow the opposition to simply die a slow death and be utterly frustrated in the process.

To make matters worse, Messi was subbed in with 15 minutes left. Not a defender. Not a defensive midfielder. Messi! A striker for a striker.

Next game the Dutch had a 2 goal lead on me (USA) and the only sub was a wide forward for a, wait for it... wide forward!

This is killing the game for me.

2 of my issues from last year have been eradicated. Kudos to EA for that. Fouls are nice to see and shooting from distance is nice to see.

But, every team seems to play the same, way too direct. CPU passing is too precise and the cpu AI is terrible.

I agree with this completely.

But I think fouls are defintely a problem, not so much for normal tackles I have got a few of thoughs but mainly when it comes to shoving people of the ball and shirt pulling. The A.I does it to me constantly and no free kick, no card, not nothing. I remember my 2nd or 3rd game the A.I basically pulled me to the ground inside the box and I didn't get a penalty.

So is ESPN scoreboard MLS and EPL only? Have played a few games in Serie A and haven't seen it.

Is there not a penalty slider? I haven't seen one. The CPU has MAULED me in certain games.

And true to soccer, I threw my hands up at the ref and whined to no avail.

The live fixtures and match of the week stuff is great. I wish there was more ways to customize the AI though. I want separate offense/defense difficulty levels like MLB the show. I want to play the AI defense on the hardest difficulty and the AI offense on medium difficulty.

That would make sense.
