Let me start of by saying that overall, i think this game is pretty good, seems a little arcadey but i feel confident that sliders will fix this. immediately what i noticed different from last year was just the overall fluidity of how the game is played. it doesnt seem as choppy as last year. now, granted its only a demo and the games are short, but from what ive played so far i think its leaps and bounds better. the way the ball spins, passes seem more driven, headers feel like im actually jumping and heading for the ball, shooting, my god the shooting (and apparently its ****ed up in the demo) feels like im truly putting my foot through the ball and i only have a controller in my hand. everything just feels good to me. these are all of the positives i have found so far, amongst many others, but im not trying to write a novel here.
some negatives that i have found, and for me right now, this is a big one so i hope it gets fixed.... MIDFIELD... where the **** are you??? whether its human midfield or AI midfield they are completely non existent. i should not be able to literally run up the entire field and put a shot on net with Flanagan the LB from Liverpool, to me, thats unacceptable. you can literally choose any player on your team you want and just sprint past the entire midfield, wtf? it literally requires no build up. ive been playing on world class, i played '14 on legendary so im really hoping when i get home today and up the difficulty to legendary that this will help, but i honestly do not feel confident about that. one other negative would honestly have to be the goalies. mostly, they are great, making great saves, but in just under 10 games ive already seen some HORRIBLE play by the goalies, i literally watched a shot hit off a defender, on the ground, lose almost all momentum from the shot, and the goalie literally watched it roll right by his feet. the goalie was not out of position, in fact, he was literally right in front of the ball, and it rolls through his legs... what. the. ****. is. that. lastly, although it feels fluid and fun to play, i need more realism, just a tad bit more, something i feel the sliders will fix. i want more build up, i want to feel like i have to pass back to my back line, feel pressured. at the moment, i just simply dont feel this way with the demo or default settings. i dont want to feel like i have complete control of the game. i know people have been complaining about the defense, and its pretty bad, but in all honesty i havent struggled defending. maybe its because ive never used the contain button or call second defender, ive always just shadowed them using L2 and controlling my player trying to stay in front of him and prevent him from moving forward, or blocking passing lanes. just my two cents.
