Well, that was underwhelming.

But hey, hair moves now, so we got that going for us.

From what I saw, at least the pitch looks good...right? Lol. I didn't much of anything that was changed in this from last year's iteration. I hope I'm wrong come release day though.

So they talk about players being emotional now, hair moving......

Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of the gimmicks by EA, emotional players, visual upgrades? I've been looking through the news about FIFA 15, nothing about how teams will differ from one another in terms of how they play, or how the stars of today's game will differ when they play.

If I'm playing for instance with Italy for example, Pirlo is the play maker on the team, the CPU AI should be aware of players like Pirlo and try to minimize his impact on the game, such as perhaps the CPU AI man marking Pirlo, switching tactics up differently, etc.

When I play Real Madrid, I want to worry about Ronaldo with the team recognizing that I have some weak backs and Ronaldo is looking to use his pace and dribbling technique, and they are attacking from the sides because it's a weak spot on the team.

Maybe a game against Monaco with Falcao who is deadly with headers, but isn't the fastest. Perhaps I have CB's who aren't as tall, don't have great jumping ability, but they have pace making it difficult for Falcao to beat them off the dribble. The CPU AI recognizes this and tries to utilize Falcao by crossing the ball from the sides to let him use his superior aerial ability on smaller defenders.

Maybe I'm dreaming a bit too much with all of that, but player ID and modeling how teams play in real life needs to be in, but I fear it won't be.

I know this wasn't much, but I'm disappointed in what I saw. Because they nailed 14, which was obviously their first time developing on the NG consoles, I expected them to come out bigger and better this year. Having high expectations got me again.

Yes, I thought it was very strange when two Man. City defenders just ignored Messi and let him walk right to the front of the net for that bicycle kick attempt.
