No comparison to NHL(which I have) where a penalty a game is the norm. As for the speed, default is a little quick but it is a video game after all and there are options to tune the speed to where you like(I have it on slow 39/47) and it's perfect. I don't mind that EA wants the game to appeal to the masses because in the end it helps promote the sport. As long as I have the option to tune the game to be more lifelike(which the sliders do) I'm good. Personally I can't with until tomorrow(since my stinkin' Season Ticket expired early). Oh well, I guess you can't have it all....

I actually didn't specify properly on the fouls. From my time playing I'm seeing fouls that well aren't even close to fouls. I think it's just the physics system acting weird and it triggers the foul. Otherwise my user fouls are basically done perfectly, I'm just not seeing CPU fouls on me on times where there is no question they should get called for one. It could be me just complaining but that's what I have seen. It's no doubt better than it was in 12 though.

I can see what you're saying with appealing to the masses. I fully agree with that, but for me when I change the sliders and options (BTW I'm using yours and they are very good) I still don't get that great soccer experience I'm looking for. I just don't see the different styles come into play from the different teams. It's still too much attack. There just isn't enough of hat kind of "boring" stuff in soccer. Just my opinion on it. I still think FIFA is a great game and it's great they offer sliders because they are necessary in making this game cater to more sim style players. No doubt a good game but for me PES just seems like the decision for me this year. It's something new where as I've played FIFA for the past 6 years or so, but the past 2 years I played a crap load. I think I'm just FIFA'ed out for right now. Maybe that will change maybe it won't. I'm just happy I have another option for soccer where as I have nothing for hockey games.
