I agree, the game feels a tad too fast once you get used to 'slow'.

Does anyone know what attributes (if any) effect using the shield button? I'm thinking a combination of 'attack position' and 'strength' but I could be wrong.

I like when feeding the striker and I just hold R2 to shield the ball and the defender over commits and I turn beautifully past the guy for a 1v1 with the keeper. So awesome with the physical play this year and animations.

I'm very disappointed with FIFA 13, this after playing hundreds of FIFA 12 games online and hundreds in previous versions. For a start I feel like my players are skating. But the ping-pong passing is back in full effect. The big rewards in this game are, yet again, high pressure and pinging the ball around quickly. Mash the pass button and you practically guarentee a win. A few elements of actual skill that I used to employ successfully in FIFA 12 appear to have been rendered redundant this time around as well, which makes it even more laughable - such as defending by fronting up to the player with the ball. You forced them to pass the ball or cross it which and that was essentially a way of dealing with the high pressure that dominates online. Now, there's no way to stop it. It's basically much easier to just breeze past a player in that situation. Again, making defending much harder.

I could quite easily trade FIFA 13 and go back to FIFA 12 in an instant.

I have a player who has great strength, balance, and finishing. He is a monster one on one in the box.

Players with both good balance and strength are really fun to play with (i.e..Rooney, Tevez..)

i'm really enjoying the game, first touch can get me mad sometimes but is just a new feature that you have to get used to and it actually makes the game better and slightly more realistic.

the menus could be less laggy though...

What is first touch?
