Oh yeah, I forgot about Gervinho. Neither look bad during play, but up close their generic faces do stand out due to the quality of the real scans.

As for SZCZ's rating, 78 is probably a touch low, but it's not outrageous. Hopefully player growth is OK this year and he'll progress nicely.

I don't remember what his individual GK ratings are, but those mean more to me than his overall. Using FIFA GK attributes I'd rank his abilities like this (in descending order, all rough estimates):

Reactions (85)
1v1 (85)
Handling (80)
Diving (80)
Positioning (70, since it's the rating most related to "GK experience")
Kicking (65)

Your kicking could be lower, haha. I swear, if the ball is moving, he can't hit it.

Seems spot on to me. He's not a very good Keeper. Only Wenger would think hes good enough.

I am glad they have sliders, the cpu passing accuracy is so annoying. However, I don't know if sliders can help the CPU fast-break, push to strikers gameplay. I see very little difference in the teams and how hard they constantly attack. I love the graphic and how smooth it controls but the lack of tactics or strategy sucks the fun out of it. I wish PES was this smooth and had MLS because it would make my choice a no brainer.

Agreed. Or if FIFA's gameplay was more organic and required more tactics.

Well, we can adjust ground pass errors at least. Plus, pass speed.

Adjusting pass speed, sprint speed and pass errors all for the CPU could really make a difference.

If the sliders work, we have the possibility to make this game pretty good.

MLS option files for PES. I'm sure one will pop up again this year.

I tried the Fifa demo and an inferior team put a 90%+ passing accuracy on me on what was a lower difficulty. I can certainly counter but the CPU seems to have super agility. I know I can counter much of it, but it didn't feel very realistic to me at all. Some of the things Fifa does with physics with dribbling are just amazing, but it doesn't help if the teammate AI isn't doing anything to get into space.
