Others would, but not me. I play sports games to play sims of the real life thing. This year's FIFA just doesn't do it for me. Not a bad game by any stretch, just not my cup of tea for a few reasons.
Now, are there some real soccer aficionados who prefer little to no fouls? I'm sure there are. But the majority of the complaints about 'too many fouls' in years past have come primarily from guys who don't watch or play soccer and are just a FIFA-loving gamer who wants to continue the sports free-flowing nature.
