wow! first game was having a great time on pro, everything manual except shooting (semi) playing with real madrid against ajax (cpu)... went to extra time and in the 92nd minute scored for the 3rd time with cristiano... As i went to watch the replay, the game freezes on me (xbox 360 slim)

Pretty sure there wasn't.

Say what?! How did this post get overlooked? I'm intrigued.

wait, I just rented this from Blockbuster with my month past. You can't play online without Online Pass? So I gotta spend 800 points on that too?

Yep. EA's been doing this with all of their sports games for quite some time now.

I can't honestly say, it was so late in the game that they really only got like 2 or 3 possessions. I did notice that they pushed the ball up the field with more urgency when they did get their touches.

I love how the game feels when you try to play a realistic game. Like others have mentioned, if you fall back and play solid defense you'll force them to play it back and look for an opening. It's beautiful to experience.

I hope they tweak it a tad, but I think it will just take some getting use to.

I agree with you it's not a huge deal against the ai but I just played online and the guy kept running into me and sliding all over the place, it would be nice if there were a few red cards thrown for that sort of reckless play. Maybe as I get better at shielding at the right moments I'll be able to draw those cards. We'll see how it goes but I'm still enjoying this game immensely.

Wanted to say just how impressed I am with the PC version quality-wise. If you have a capable system, the graphics and performance are nearly flawless. So much clarity and depth in the graphics and hardly any loading times or slowdown. I haven't noticed any huge bugs or hitches lately, which is good...but compared to the PS3 season ticket version, 12 on PC is unbelievable. I hope a port of this quality is something EA considers if they decide to continue with PC sports gaming in the future.
