We also expect the higher gameplay levels to be tough, but not littered with old school CPU cheats. We expect a pace that is similar to what we see every weekend not a fast break two passes up the pitch and then a shot. The majority of my game stats resemble this: Possession: 56%-41% in favor of me. Shots: 7-18 in favor of CPU Fouls: 1-5 in favor of CPU A lot of the issues with pace come from the God awful CTT that were assigned to everyone and shipped. Yes, we can change them, but there are 25-30 slots for saved CTT. Hardly enough. We also expect the CPU to sub properly. We expect the CPU in MM to make changes to his lineup and USE the transfers that he bought. This game has a long way to go before the word simulation should be used in the same breath with FIFA.

I agree 110% about the Devs possibly being scared to make the game as realistic as possible. It might reduce the "highlight reel" quality the game has right now but it will increase the strategic and tactical play which is at a minimum right now.

They also need to either tune the CTT or take it out of the game all together. As it is right now, you can turn your aggression all the way up and it seems as if your players win more 50-50 balls, tackles harder and steal the ball easier (and apparently they're not fouling anyone either,) possess the ball better, win damn near every ball that's in the air, etc. At first I thought it might have been placibo but I don't think so anymore...I've seen it too many times, from too many different people, for it to be a pure coincidence.

I'm at a complete loss as to how seemingly the majority of the FIFA gaming communtiy sees FIFA 09 as "one of the best soccer games to date." When it's clearly not.
