Lot more weight to the players, looks much more difficult to turn on a dime. I'm of course interested in the team tactics, but need to see it in action before we can deem anything is different.

I think it's going to be much more difficult defensively this year, which is great. Need to hold your position and not just fly in for tackles and recover.

Last note, I hate watching User v User games, lol. I don't get how people get joy out of playing like that, just forward forward forward. Ugh

Edit: the ball is definitely small. Noticeably

Might be the way they're playing, but it's still so FAST. At least the players look like they have some weight. Maybe with sliders we can slow it down to a more real soccer pace.

Also some of the players looked so awkward walking out of the tunnel lol.

Surprisingly to me this looks a lot better than a lot of the pre-release gameplay we've seen over the years. It's not perfect, but the game and gameplay look damn good to me. I had my criticisms of 17, but I enjoyed the hell out of it, and thought it was a good direction gameplay-wise.

Now, career mode, that is another story.

Yeah, I'll definitely have to drop the speed and acceleration down in the sliders. I wish it would have shown them choosing their kits for the match. I'm assuming an option to mix and match kit pieces weren't added, although they SHOULD be, but I'd like to see for certain.

I also was pleasantly surprised. The guys in the OS slider thread have taught me a lot about what to look for in the game, and I thought the H/L/W looked quite good at first glance. Again, difficult to know until I see Hum vs CPU, but I loved how the 5 man backline looked for Chelsea. I saw Chelsea's wingers making some intelligent runs inside, with those WB's overlapping wide.

Matic for MUFC looked a true DMF in terms of positioning. I'll be stepping right into my MUFC career and that's the first thing I'm looking at. Does the DMF sit behind the CM more than not. I'm praying it holds up because it's literally exactly why we bought Matic, to sit behind Pogba and free his game up the pitch.

One more month, I'm not sure I can stand the wait!

You really can't get a full judgement of the game until you see user vs CPU game play.

I think it's got a similar base to 17, except for some added movements/animations which could be a good thing.

Ball size looks reasonable, which was my concern.

Still not a fan of the lighting - but I'll get over it.

Agreed that p1 v AI needs to be seen to truly judge.

A bit direct play means we'll have to look at marking or HLW - there's just a bit of space, but not as bad as what has been shown in PES.
