On Legendary, my players felt a little bit sluggish compared to World Class difficulty.
Still love the game though.

Has anyone here played the demo on PC? It's literally, no exaggeration, the exact same game as FIFA 10 on PS3/360.

Here's one of the goals, I'm quite please with. The way Drogba turned the defender was pure class and it wasn't a skill move. I have zero dexterity to do skills moves!
Most anticipated game of the year! Ha!

Shielding with exit moves is gone. Terrible.
No way to protect the ball against hyper pressing defenses now. Let's just let them run through us . . .

I wish the camera used on corner kicks was the one from World Cup. The pulled back view is so much easier to work with.

The more I play this demo the more I'm starting to feel it.
Last night I messed around with some different formations with Arsenal and was able to hold Real Madrid to 0 shots in a couple of games.
The biggest reason for this was being able to get back to blocking passing lanes as opposed to charging the CPU player in possession. Playing on the SLOW game speed makes this much easier. This also forced a lot of back passing even from Chelsea.
While I will agree with most that say it's a bit too easy to take the ball away from CPU attackers, I do feel that you can't charge certain players because they will dribble circles around you. Messi, Iniesta, CR7, etc. Drogba is really physical, but it's always easier to take the ball away from defenders....as it should be. What I'm trying to say is that the player personality is starting to glow.
The choice seems to be charge the CPU player in possession and try to get the ball from him and risk the constant forward pressure, or play off ball defense and block passing lanes to the front man and force the back pass to slow the game down. I like the latter.
Another thing is that there is significant risk in using the 2nd defender press on the CPU because the referee is much more sensitive....FINALLY!! I have surrendered 2 penalty kicks using that option in the area. I haven't given up a penalty in 3 years.
Lastly, I do prefer the WC level this year as opposed to the last few years when players with dribble ratings in the 60s and 70s could dribble circles around the best defenders in the world. Hopefully the final version has the CPU passing out of trouble a little more.

I love the PS3 demo. I just hope they don't pull a Konami and mess up the full release, because this demo is just a breath of a fresh air. If the PC version doesn't improve on the system issues, I'll be a FIFA ps3 groupie for the year.

I have a problem. I love the FIFA 11 demo on 360...but I don't know ANYTHING about the sport except for yellow/red cards and offsides. I love the passing, love just passing it midfield and trying to protect a lead. Love shooting and heading in the carom/rebound off the goalie for a goal. Love rushing the net with that 2 on 1 advantage. The game feels good and I really like the "European" presentation.
My dilemma is that this would literally be my first full version of FIFA that I've ever owned if I buy it. Will I get overwhelmed? I want to implement sound strategy and play the game the right way. The game is just fun for me on slow speed.
Between the NHL and FIFA demos, and NBA2k11 coming out soon, I have a problem of too many quality games to play!!

I've played the demo alot, and I'm disappointed with the cpu's finishing touch, as well as lack of offense. They show no creativity. It's always the same ole thing-take it straight up the middle of the pitch. No switching from one side of the pitch to the other, not much passing to speak of. They did have this one breakaway. I though I was going to give up a goal. It was 2 on my keeper. One guy with the ball, the other trailing just behind and to the left. Halfway inside the 18, my keeper commited to the man with the ball.
Did he-a. chip it over my keeper's head
b. pass it to his buddy for an easy goal
c. fake out the keeper and finish
d. run straight into my keeper.
The correct answer is D. I couldn't believe it. I was upset. Has this happened to anyone else? I wanted him to score. He caught me too far up and I deserved to concede this goal.
Needless to say, I am unsure about this game. I like the idea of create a club, but the game has got to play correctly.

Not sure how I feel
I don't watch soccer as much as many people here I'm sure but when I do I notice how real life teams play with some patience and let guys catch their breath at times. For a few years now I've wondered why the computer refuses to pass backward and keeps moving the ball aggressively up the pitch.
Guess it would make it less fun for a videogame but would add to the realism

What is everyone's opinion of the handballs?
I've played around 15 games and only seen 4 (1 for a penalty). So it doesn't seem like it would be easy to exploit it.
I'm glad it's in the game, but I would hate to see it become something that could easily be abused.

is it me or does everything control wise seem more free on normal speed?

Fellows I dloaded this demo at my sons request and I am hooked!!! This game is incredible. I've watched soccer very little over the years and went to a game at Fresno State back in the early 90's don't quite me on this but it was a WC exibition I beleive.
Heck, I might even try to score me an early copy this demo is so good. A few questions. Is there some type of season mode? How many games in a season? Is the US in this game?
Thanks in advance

As for the US, the US first division (MLS) is in the game as well as the US Men's National team.
