Yeah, so after seeing a bunch of fouls the other night including six in one demo game, I barely saw any in several games last night. *Sigh* I'm done speculating...
Based on my time with the demo, I think it will be a solid game, particularly online head-to-head against the right people. Hopefully with globabl CTTs for all teams & manager mode improvements I'll be able to play a few seasons offline.

To the contrary of what many are saying, i've seen great variation in the attacking styles of different teams. No two games have been the same as i've been switching teams and difficulty levels.
The game feels like a highly polished version of Fifa 09 which was already a great game.
I like how they upgraded the crowd and their reactions. During a penalty shootout, they'll jump around and cheer when the home team scores and throw their hands in disgust when the away team scores.
The quick free kick is something they've been needing to copy from PES and is a great (realistic) addition. The 360 degree dribbling makes the control feel much tighter and smoother. I can't wait to play the final build.

I'm not in a position to post my impressions yet, mainly because I'm struggling to get to grips with the demo.
I will say that there are things that I like a lot and things that annoy me greatly. If the bug fixes are sorted then the final game will be excellent and a definite improvement over 09 but it wont be as good as PES5. That game was ahead of its time, its still the best football game to date IMO.
I'll keep plugging away and post my impressions later today.

Can someone help me out with the Rabona/ Rabona fake? I CANNOT pull either off for the life of me.
I made a german 360 account but I need a gold membership to download the stupid demo 
guess I'll just wait for a couple days until it comes out in the US...

Did you download it with an account from another region? I have also made UK and Japanese account and so far as I can see neither of them have the demo available yet...

ehh only 2 days to wait for the US demo anyways - I think I can make it 
the demo is fun but still way too fast. I have the game on the slow setting and it is still too fast. Everything else is great, I just really hope they tone down the speed.
I'm worried that if I play the demo that I won't want to go back to 09. I have a fun MM going and want to play through the release of Fifa 10.

Downloaded both FIFA and PES demos for XBox 360. Got to the FIFA one first and have played 2 games, both 1-0 wins on World Class (Barca v. Munich and OM v. Juve).
Thoughts:
360 is noticeable. I felt like I could make my players run at angles previously unavailable to them. This was nice.
The through ball to the striker is not nearly as effective as it was on '09. Defenders actually stay with their man and make this play very difficult. This forces the user to be more creative with their build-up, which is a big plus.
Game still has the same annoying stadium cutaway for subs, but I understand that this is an old build of FIFA '10 and hopefully that will be gone.
I did not experience any quick free kicks, but did get a non-cutscene yellow card, which was a nice change of pace.
Free kicks are MUCH better. You won't blast everything over the bar if you use any power like in past FIFA's.
Opposing defenders do a much better job of closing down. It forces the player to pass and move. There's still nice flank play, but you won't be able to carve through the middle as much as past versions.
I was a little annoyed that I had to hold the Y button to make my keeper come claim balls in the box that the AI should have just made him charge naturally. I know Victor Valdes has his issues, but he's not that dumb (right, right????)
Through 2 games, there are certainly nice subtle improvements from last year's game, while some annoying things remain (passes going to the wrong player/no one at all) and clearances out of your own box never seem to go as far as you'd like, sometimes going only to the edge of the 18. Time to fire up PES and see what it has to offer.

I downloaded FIFA and PES while home for lunch today and here are my impressions.
PES still sucks (and this is coming from a guy that LOVED PES back in 2004 or so).
FIFA seems to have made some decent strides. I wouldn't say that the game is revolutionary but it's definitely improved and worth the $60. Here is what I noticed most (although it's hard to tell much in a 3 minutes demo)

- As mentioned by others, the ball physics seem to be improved. This may translate into improved free kicks as well where you won't always send your ball flying over the cross bar with even the smallest amount of power.
- The 360 degree player movement is nice. It will take some getting used to but is whole heartedly welcome.
- The players now have some momentum. I noticed this mainly in going from a stand still to a run. They make realistic movements in this transition so that they don't just go from standing to sprinting automatically.
- The game speed has been slowed a bit.
- The off-the-ball runs are improved and more realistic. This opens up the options for build-up play and I like it.
- There's a new camera angle on corner kicks which is (IMHO) much improved.

I am loving the demo so far, much improved over 09 IMO. Especially in the overall feel of the game, the players just feel like they move so much more realistically. I think 360 degree dribbling plays a huge part in it, but ball physics is also huge.
My only problem with the game is that it's still too fast. I played on the default setting and I felt that it was even faster than 09. I could still run full speed at a guy, knock him over and steal the ball although it happened a lot less.
Another thing, how is Buffon only a 66?!

Finally got it! Love it so far. Much more footie feeling. I really like the new physical nature of the game. I'm liking that it's harder to get break-aways. Barca ate me alive with Chelsea. Had to step down to Pro, WC was just too much. My beloved Pro-Cam has been tweaked. It's smooth all the way around the pitch, no herky-jerk pans anymore. Just beat Marseille 2-1 at Wembley. It was a nice pass fest. Both goals came from beautiful passes to set up the shot. It's just so much more smooth and controlled to me from 09. Even positioning seems more intelligent. So far, so good. Will get footage tomorrow night!
