My rig is a beast, so I'm not worried about that.

Well already played around 5-7 games at world class level. Always losing 1-0. The game is too difficult though it might be coz of manual controls. Was thinking of buying the game but now not sure. Though the game is nice still I feel that this year EA has made it much more difficult for us to break midfield n defense. The CPU AI is able to close down us but the same is not for us. If anyone can give some pointers then would be helpful

for me world class in full manual and no customization in sliders is and always was almost unbeatable. so play on professional or tone wc difficulty down with sliders imo. difficulty shouldn't be a worry when sliders are in the game, as almost every cpu "cheat" can be fixed to some extent. as for the closing down problem, the marking slider is probably a good option.

Something you need to remember is that this is the PC version of the game. Whatever issues you may, or may not have, is going to be fixed. When PC, there is NEVER a reason not to buy a title. The modding community is very strong, the sliders here are strong too - going hand in hand, you have potential to see what you want.

For what it's worth, the difficulty on both sides is extremely pleasant to read about. No more back and forth, end to end games when it's not warranted. I'm definitely excited for FIFA 14 - and this is coming from a guy who loves PES. We are very lucky, very lucky.

For this very reason I am debating on whether to play FIFA again on my low graphic laptop or buy it for PS3 and say the hell with the mods and AI edits. It's a definite graphical hit when you compare the two haha, but the gameplay on PC or laptop in my case is so good. The community editing made 13 a joy to play and with a much improved 14 I can only imagine what it will be like this year. It's a really tough decision for me.

So basically FIFA 14 (at least the demo)

1) Crappy goalies
2) Slow pace
3) Countless offsides
4) Forget about dribbling

I guess if you want to create a list of things you need to convince yourself not to like the demo, yeah sure, that's a pretty good list there. Or you could just play the demo and appreciate all the many things it does right.

I would have to agree with three. The offsides are a tad high for my taste. But as to everything else, I think this is EA's best effort to date.
