I'm disappointed with it. I'm 4 games into career and I don't think my opposition have taken a single shot at goal yet. I confess, I'm not all that good at the FIFA games, so I have it on semi-pro level. But, same as every other year, semi-pro is ridiculously easy, yet when I crank it up a level, I can't keep possession of the ball for more than 3 seconds. I also noticed that the opposition will always run in circles or pass the ball to each other while in the box, but nobody will actually take a shot. Ok, so I'm just shit at it, but it would be nice if EA Sports could find a way for us 'non expert' gamers to have a more realistic football experience on the easier levels. I can't fault the game in terms of presentation or the quality of the graphics, but for actual gameplay, I still think PES blows FIFA out of the water. If I could have PES dressed up in FIFA's clothing, I'd be like a pig in shit!

Check out the team sliders in settings. They make all the difference. AI is rubbish on semi-pro. With the right settings you can make the game very much like PES.

I'm loving the little touches. Commentators talking about how you've done in the opening games before this one etc.

Also, something I've not seen before - ref stopped play when I had possession just inside their half as a player had stayed down, he got subbed off then drop ball to restart. The opponent, Millwall, lumped it over my defenders into the corner rather than just put it out of play. Cheeky

After getting sacked as Albion manager (even though 7 points clear in Premier League), I joined Crawley and duly dispatched the Seagulls 3-0 in the League Cup. Felt so ashamed.

In ultimate team I have a Brighton XI and yesterday I played Harley at CB due to injuries and he was sick! Did a clearance off the line and did some awsome tackles so well played to him.. got a Match Rating of 8.90.

My record in 40-2-2, been playing offline tournies lately hence the good record.
