She thinks the best football game ever created is stale. LMAO

She mentioned on a podcast just months ago that "fifa had the best career mode." I really question her judgement, but to each his own.

I had Shaqiri from Stoke drill one in from about 10 feet out of the box on me. It was an absolute rocket too.

I've been enjoying this game much more than I ever did with the past two editions. I have complaints, but I personally feel this is the best FIFA in a good while. Plan on playing with default settings until it becomes too easy (or too hard), then using the good ole community sliders.

I've seen lots of shots outside the box, but maybe it's due to how I generally defend.

If that's the case then that's awesome. It means the game is responding also to how you play.

I've played 3 consecutive games against Norwich, Swansea and Crystal Palace. Many shots outside the box and for a while I thought that this needs to be toned down.
I haven't tried other leagues but BPL is a joy to play. Each of these teams had also their unique attacking approach.

So, the general rule of them is that the AI no longer tries to walk it in, and even when it does, it does not pass it around?

Im at work and cannot test it out...

In fifteen women's matches and twenty men's I have yet to have them pass the ball around inside the box. Maybe a one pass to a shot.

They shoot early and often! From anywhere and everywhere. This does change depending who you play. But you see long crosses from mid field flying in for forwards. You see players shoot from wide and for me a lot of out side the box shots. I tend to drop back to prevent someone getting behind me and they shoot from outside a lot!

In my opinion the shooting issue from the demo is also gone. I have not seen finesse shots unless I used the R1.

Literally the best football game ever made. I love PES and am not a FIFA fangirl. This game is purely wonderful. Not perfect... but very good football.
