You mean I have to actually read the instruction book, please no!) Licensing (Which can be fixed with a good option file.) I know it is IGN, but still just irks me that they never seem critique/praise correctly.

I enjoyed that they used music from the game's "lacklustre" soundtrack in the background of the video review.

It's looking good this year. It's looking really good.

But the solid gameplay is too good to overlook and not buy the game. Even if it means frustration and selling it back down the line.

No problem and I agree with you. I have concerns as well because the ML is always harder but when Adam first posted it he only acquired 4 pairs of boots in his first season. We obviously don't know how the AI will acquire stuff but if it is the same rate it may not be bad. The gameplay blows Fifa away this year based on the demos so there is no way I am not getting. Still going to get the Fifa early relase to see how much it changed but I honestly don't expect much difference especially in the CPU AI but we will see.

This!

If you do this, the game is much better since most people are used to FIFA's control scheme

Surprised that people find the controls so difficult. The only buttons I use is x for short passing, circle for long passes/crosses, square to shoot, triangle for the through ball.

If you can't see the forest for the trees, take a step back and keep it simple. The more advanced controls will come, but don't try to learn everything at once.

The only tutorial I spent time in is the one for defense. Which is much improved over 2012.

I agree but I then again I am use to PES controls. I still haven't grasped the advance controls yet but my manual passing has been getting really good.

Yep. I love the manual passing with all assists off. This will be the first year in many I will only have one soccer game. (knocks on wood).

This is funny, I use the PES control settings when playing FIFA since I'm so used to PES settings.
