Wow! This game looks absolutely dope! I really like the pace of the match and the passing motions/system .

Awesome vids. Now it really reflects the pace of a real football match. Looking forward for this new installment of Fifa.

Thank you.

Definitely tough to say anything. The game looks like the pace is too fast and almost arcade like. However, I believe both players are struggling to control their defenders - does anyone else notice it's almost too much commitment to the ball rather than marking - which is why on many occasion they are out of place.

I see a lot of core gameplay of FIFA 2005 PC in this. The ball is also bright white, a problem the PC version from 2003-2010 has had.

That's most likely due to the contrast setting on the tv and the codec used for video rendering. Each video codec has it's own unique characteristics.

Could be, in the PC version this was a terminology called "baked lighting" in the ini config file. Next night game video, pay attention to see if the ball remains bright white regardless of the codec. The reason I mention the bright white is not for the sake of the color standing out - but rather the fact that when the ball is bright white like that, it makes the ball look a lot bigger to the player's feet. Which then skews the physics and the way the ball is looked at.

All in all, it depends on what you accept as a simulation soccer game. I dedicated an entire month changing the calves circumference of each player on PES4 - why? Because the ball in relation to the player's leg did not look right, and essentially made the players physics look clunky.

It's the little things, that's what FIFA's about this year, if the game turns out to have these kind of flaws, I can live with it, but I'll be nitpicky up until release.

totally agree though that the ball looks a bit too big in comparison to the players body. I guess we'll find out when the demo drops
