Ok. Well, I will try it on World Class. I usually play on professional. I really hate CLUB cheese (cheating by making my players dumb, etc...). But I will try it to see what happens, to see how it plays. I will likely stick with professional, but I just want to check it out.

It's a tough one.

For the user, team ratings do matter. I can hang on world class using any of the good teams.

But if I was to use River Plate vs. Madrid I am not sure how well River Plate would play.

I only have 360 here to test with and did have a decent game on world class, beat Madrid 1 nil with Barca.

I will say 100% certain I would not play above pro using tactical defense, heck probably not even above semi-pro.

It's amazing how much of a difference tactical and legacy make in terms of defensive behavior for the user's cpu team mates.

I play on pro as it seems to me that the levels higher than this my teammates do not play equal to CPU teammates. Plus the pace seems best at this level. Everyone should play how they want but I kinda feel people sometimes complain about higher difficulty but act like it is a disgrace to lower the difficulty. IDK just my opinion.

Anything over pro and sliders need tweaked... Kinda seems like the game was built to play best on pro. But again all should do what they like.

The more I play the demo the more I like the game. The CPU shoots more and does more lobbed through balls. It seems way better than any year before. I played the other football game demo and have to say for the first time EA has the more realistic gameplay. And the camera angles and graphics are better as always in my opinion. This may be the first year I only buy one footy game. And I prordered FIFA, so that is how much the demo has impressed me.

You know I don't think I've used legacy since it was removed as the default in 14. I don't even remember what the differences are. I'm going to change that and play a game to see.

Also, maybe my praise of pro was a little too soon? I just played a game on pro and beat the cpu 6-0. Then played another game on ultimate and only lost 1-0. And the game on ultimate felt much better. Either I'm getting more used to this new play style, or pro isn't what I thought it was last night.

EDIT: Ah the tactical defending is the thing that makes me tackle for no reason when I'm not around someone if I accidentally hit the B or O button. Man that has driven me nuts for a long time. I guess legacy is what I will be using for ever now.

Also not sure if anyone noticed, but default settings have changed. Passing Power Assistance is off by default now. Auto switch is set to off by default now. Cross assistance is set to semi by default. And Save assistance is set to semi by default now. Maybe why pro feels better to some of use in the default opening pro game.

Thanks for the support! EA did a good thing including the women's teams... I have never been as excited for a game to get here after playing a demo. Less than two weeks!!!

I plan to do a custom women's tournament and start an offline CM with a team like West Brom. Plus have a few people to play some online with.

The women's mode to me is more fun thus far. For some reason the soccer on that mode is more wide open. The men's mode is fun also, and I do enjoy it. However, they did a great job on the women's mode.

I wonder if they did that on purpose to check feedback and make tweaks.

I've been playing on World Class and I have been kind of flustered by the defending. No matter what I do I can't seem to get pressure on the other team, specifically squads like Barca and Chelsea. Sliders will definitely help. I don't want to switch to legacy defending because I mostly play my friends on the default settings so that includes tactical defense.

Overall, the game feels much better than 15 and I like it more than the PES demo which was pretty damn good.
