Also i wonder what running looks like this year? They've never really been able to nail the "full sprint" look/feel of a player. The aerobic mechanics don't make it look like the player is exuding full energy when running at top speed. It always kinda looks like a hover/jog. I'm hoping this is the year

Wait, they're still releasing this game on the PS3 and Xbox 360??

That by far was the most eye catching sentence in entire article for me.*

That said, the A.I. also pays attention to the defender's awareness rating and whether they're looking at the ball. If a defender's head is turned, he will not react on a play until he is looking at the action.

That's it. That's all I needed to read to know I'm gonna love this game again.

Nothing annoyed me more than knowing a made a great pass and seeing a defender make the PERFECT play on the ball despite them being beat by a cutting player off ball. Just doesn't happen when you're scrambling back on defense unless you get lucky.
