If it's there, I'd really like to try it out on slow. I believe therizing said he played all or most of his games at the community event on slow speed and was quite pleased with the results. I also think he said that the ball speed/physics are not affected by the game speed setting, which is good news as it will make smart ball movement more effective in countering aggressive defending...

Unfortunately, it doesnt feel like setting the game speed to slow made any difference whatsoever....hopefully this will fixed in the final version.

This is exactly how I feel. I don't know soccer that well, but this game is a lot of fun for me. FIFA 08 was fun for me as well, but frustrating at the same time. This game is more polished than FIFA 08.

I will buying this game without hesitation. I'm almost glad that the '07 & '08 versions NCAA and Madden stunk because that's what opened up my eyes to this series.

lol Then we have to get some "casual user sim" games in when it releases!

It's still L2. If you choose to customize your controller at the beginning of the demo, you will see it under defence controls.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.

In 08, if you pressed LT and RT or L2 and R2 you be in a jockey animation.
It's hard to explain...I'll try to capture a video

But you said you played on Slow speed when you were in Vancouver right?

I have a question : online, do you have to use manual passing? Or can you stay with assisted passing/shooting..etc? I am just wondering if practicing with everything set to manual is a waste of time and just makes the game tougher, or if you NEED to learn this skill for online play.

On the 360 pressing both triggers was the cancel button and LT was jockying. Maybe it was different on the PS3 i don't know

Does anyone else notice that, when you make a lobbed through pass, the player receiving the ball sort of stops while it is in mid-air (it kinda feels like he is strafing because he squares up a bit)? I think it might be that he turns to look for the ball in flight, which would be realistic, it just messes up the timing a little bit.

That was a problem in both Fifa 08 and Euro. Sucks they haven't fixed that.

can you do cpu vs cpu in this years version? I like to watch games play out when I don't feel like actually playing.

I can't comment on Euro because I didn't play it but this did not happen to me as nearly as bad as it does in 09.
