I have read a few threads different sites saying what a step up it was from regular to pro level and some more saying how easy Top player is this year also.
So i decided to play back to back 5 matches on each. While i have been playing on Top Player myself i noticed that like others said the comp wasn't overly aggressive about getting forward or about the defenders trying to stop you until you reached their penalty area.
I have had some decent games on Top Player winning my share and losing them but i have never been beaten the way i was last night on Pro level.
The first few games were close enough and the comp was sticking 1 or 2 by me then in the 4th and 5th games they beat me 3-1 and 4-1 respectively. I have been using Aston Villa v Man City.
It is not just the scoreline that surprised me but the fact that i was actually chased around the pitch by the comp and not given huge areas to run into(you know the one where the defenders back off until the edge of their box), they do tend to still do this but what happens is the midfielders seem to play better and close you down faster leading to you being less likely to hit the 30yders with ease.
They definitely play better up front as well as the scorelines for me anyway indicate, creating chances and keeping me under constant pressure.
I will need to test this more but i would urge anyone playing Top Player and finding it too easy to move 'down'? to Professional level and see what they think
