The unrealistic movements, the sliding, the unbelievable turn radius are some of the reasons why i will not play this game or any other iterations of this game. Soccer is a sport that is 100 percent dependent on running and with their glorified physics engine, they cannot implement something as essential as momentum. Very annoying. I haven't even started on the AI but ill save that for another thread. Nope, i haven't seen a slider set that rectifies this issue. Thanks for the read. Post comments below.

try game speed on slow with sprint speed 48 acceleration 46, it is probably the best you can do to make it more realistic

Anyone else find lower rated teams punching way above their weight sometimes? I'm playing in tournament mode in the Barclay's Premier League. Southampton lead after 8 rounds of play and remain unbeaten. 6-2-0.

Southampton 20 pts
Chelsea 18
Man Utd 18

You're going to hate me for saying this, but if Liverpool being a legit title contender for the entirety of my first season counts, then yes, I have noticed this.

I have really been enjoying it. The new first touch control really changes the game for the better imo.

I just wish the gameplay was as fun and realistic (relatively speaking) with the top teams as it is with the lower teams. Right out of of the box, without slider tweaks, playing with 2nd (and lower) division teams on slow is a joy. Then you play with EPL teams and it's an arcadey piece of crap.

Okay, fouls ... what the hell is going on with this? I steal the ball, about to break-away to have a 1-on-1 with the keeper, defender grabs me from behind by the shirt and throws me to the ground. Whistles blows. Red card? No. Yellow card? No. Just a talking to. And all I get is a free kick from the 30-35 yard mark. Grrrrrreat.

So I'm taking a PES hiatus (recent patch is a joke) - and trying FIFA.

After a couple days, this game is ridiculously...unrealistically...fast. It's not just the pace of play, it's the animation speed. Players movements are in hyper speed. Everyone's agility seems crazy. Yes, this is also using lower tier clubs - the animations just don't add up.

Not sure where EA is going with 13 - but count me out for now - 12 was a lot better (especially on PC) so I can't think of 13 being more polished?

Yeah, it's too fast. And it's borderline unplayable on full-manual because of that very fact. Shooting in particular is just ridiculous on manual at this speed. Meth freaks must just love this game.
