Here ya go:

EA are introducing sliders this year to allow you to customise your own experience. Each slider can be changed for both the user and CPU teams seperately and can be done, on the fly, mid match

I was pretty pessimistic based on some of the comments here but seeing the slider list makes me feel a little better. I just wish there was one for fouls as well.

This is still going to be a wait and see for me. I barely played last year because of the career mode and tackling issues.

Downloaded a mod that had Messi in the Arena. Actually got some good footage of him. Gonna have to chop up another video! Man, these player models are just incredible. Can't wait until the full game. I want to see how many players they got right. They appear to gotten a lot of player heads scanned this year. All the guys I've seen in the demo look spot on.

Guys, I want to apologize to the relevant folks for what may have come off as arrogance in some of my posts here. I dont know what set me off but I was indeed a little condescending and that doesnt make the thread a better place.

Qb got pissed at me (with good reason) and then I got pissed at him. He showed class first by pm'ing me and explained what bothered him.

He did not ask for an apology but I wanted to make one here anyway. Heck, every married man should know how to apologize.

Anyway, that's enough of that.

I can't wait to get my hands on the full game for my 3 days. I want to love it because it looks so nice. And, one guy mentioned the "movement". It is really fantastic. I just want the CPU strategy to be solid.

The game is also too fast for me. It doesn't feel quite right that i cant catch a cpu player. Even on PES, I turn speed to -2. Will there be an option to slow the game down like Madden? I play that on very slow.

I took a few minutes to check out Arsenal in replay mode... most guys look good with real scans. Szczensy (GK) is one of the few who doesn't appear to have a true scan. Plus the first-teamers seem to have real boots and not generic ones. I didn't bother to check all the reserve/youth guys. I know there are some licensing hurdles in assigning authentic boots.

same here. Slow on FIFA is a bit too fast still. Usually I'll switch over to PES after fifa and the difference in speed is huge. Takes me a minute or two to adjust.

I love Madden on very slow also.

There's a game speed option in the game settings right before you start a match. I think slow is very well-executed this year.

Thanks. Good to know. I'll look for that next time. Don't know how I missed it.

Yeah it's somewhat hidden, at the bottom of the first page of game settings, you have to scroll down to see it, it's not displayed right away.

First impression from the demo - awful. I have had tons of fun in the last few years but in the demo anyway it just seems all the fun is gone. It might be that I think the new tackling system is garbage or the cpu play too perfect but it might just be I am not used to FIFA anymore. Will give it a few more games but hating it so far.

Szcz and Gervinho looke horrible from the demo. Both players have generic face models, which just seems kind of ridiculous. I'm also pretty steamed at the rating they gave Szcz, I really think he is one of the better young keepers in the world based on some of the saves he has made for Poland and Arsenal both.

I think his rating is pretty fair but I would have expected them to get Gervinho's face spot on.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Gervinho. Neither look bad during play, but up close their generic faces do stand out due to the quality of the real scans.

As for SZCZ's rating, 78 is probably a touch low, but it's not outrageous. Hopefully player growth is OK this year and he'll progress nicely.

I don't remember what his individual GK ratings are, but those mean more to me than his overall. Using FIFA GK attributes I'd rank his abilities like this (in descending order, all rough estimates):

Reactions (85)
1v1 (85)
Handling (80)
Diving (80)
Positioning (70, since it's the rating most related to "GK experience")
Kicking (65)

Your kicking could be lower, haha. I swear, if the ball is moving, he can't hit it.
