I do not have access, but I watched around an hour of streams from a few playing Pro Leagues and also noticed more fouls in that mode as well. If this holds up, I am going to be stoked. Anyone else noticing a decent amount of fouls this year? How about the CPU aggression on offense?

I noticed this as well on the demo ... The clock also keeps running during substitutions, corner kicks, etc. For me, after having some time with the demo (and the impressions I've been reading thus far here, its a 'no-brainer', first day purchase!

Gala attacked me well, getting 7 shots off (only 1 on target) and winning 55% of the possession. 5 total fouls, 4 corners. -Still can't "save" a slider set. This is 2014, in what game would you expect not to be able to save settings files?

Thanks for sharing your impressions my friend ... I had the same feeling as you when I played the demo. I thought the AI of my teammates was absolutely ridiculous on defense ... BUT then I discovered the 'individual instruction' that can be assigned to each player on the pitch. This absolutely changed the game for me! I was amazed that I could hold the CPU to as low as a 65% pass accuracy. Yep ... 65% for the CPU (PSG) vs. Chelsea (me). Then I held Manchester City to 72% pass accuracy (I was Chelsea). Note that I also changed my team's (Chelsea) tactic to possession. I may be the minority, but I absolutely LOVE the defensive battles that I'm getting. My one tip is that when your defending, you need to really pick your spots on when to contain, cut off passing lanes by giving some room, trying to predict the CPU's passing, and what has been awesome to see is that if you really time your slide tackles the ball doesn't 'magically' get to the CPU's feet or an instant carding/warning by the ref. It is really a live ball!

I also feel that on Pro level, the players on the pitch reflect their ratings.

Playing with Barcelona feels absolutely different than playing with Chelsea. Playing that tiki-taka style is much easier obviously w/ Barca, than trying to pull that off with Chelsea. And when I've been playing the CPU, I feel threatened when Ibrahimovic, Messi, Neymar, etc are getting in attack mode or in a one-on-one situation against me.

And not to mention, FOULS! I see a good bit of them for both sides. Yellows, reds, & warnings...Its awesome!

As you can see, this iteration of Fifa is a definite, 'no-brainer' for me ...

This is a bit disconcerting and hopefully EA can address before release w/ a patch! I never had this issue with FIFA 14 on ps4.

Yep. Fouls are being called and it is awesome.

I just don't understand how this game can be so fun and all of the other sports releases are turds.

Just a flat out fun experience.

The 6 hour thing has an opposite effect on me.
I just played for an hour and shut it off.

The game is great and fun. I just hate the fact a timer is running and I can't do things like look at kits or browse the catalog without feeling like I am wasting time.

Only things I am not on board with are the controller feels sluggish. The same things I could do simply in fifa 14 and in the 15 demo are laborious now. It doesn't feel like the momentum is op. It just feels like the controller input to player action is numbed.

And shooting, I was fine in 14 and in the 15 demo. This thing is a different beast now. I just missed 8 sitters, breakaway or 1-1 situations on pro.

I like how the cpu battles and if they had a 4.5 speed the user didn't in the demo it's now a 4.8 speed.

1 walk
2 trot
3 jog
4 run
5 sprint

The cpu will make mistakes like a human which is really cool. They will also allow balls to bounce which is a terrific new thing in fifa.

Player pressure with RB is damn near perfect. It's just like I wanted when I talked about the demo's rb issues. Now a bad defender under rb use stays back and zones, a good defender will get in tight and may actually win the ball.

There are so many great things going on, 6 hour limit is pissing me off.

So overall it sounds like you're saying it's much better/different than the demo?
