    I agree, the game feels a tad too fast once you get used to 'slow'.

      Does anyone know what attributes (if any) effect using the shield button? I'm thinking a combination of 'attack position' and 'strength' but I could be wrong.

      I like when feeding the striker and I just hold R2 to shield the ball and the defender over commits and I turn beautifully past the guy for a 1v1 with the keeper. So awesome with the physical play this year and animations.

        I'm very disappointed with FIFA 13, this after playing hundreds of FIFA 12 games online and hundreds in previous versions. For a start I feel like my players are skating. But the ping-pong passing is back in full effect. The big rewards in this game are, yet again, high pressure and pinging the ball around quickly. Mash the pass button and you practically guarentee a win. A few elements of actual skill that I used to employ successfully in FIFA 12 appear to have been rendered redundant this time around as well, which makes it even more laughable - such as defending by fronting up to the player with the ball. You forced them to pass the ball or cross it which and that was essentially a way of dealing with the high pressure that dominates online. Now, there's no way to stop it. It's basically much easier to just breeze past a player in that situation. Again, making defending much harder.

        I could quite easily trade FIFA 13 and go back to FIFA 12 in an instant.

          I have a player who has great strength, balance, and finishing. He is a monster one on one in the box.

              Players with both good balance and strength are really fun to play with (i.e..Rooney, Tevez..)

                i'm really enjoying the game, first touch can get me mad sometimes but is just a new feature that you have to get used to and it actually makes the game better and slightly more realistic.

                the menus could be less laggy though...

                    I actually saw a goalkeeper injury. Lloris had to come off for Friedel due to a concussion.

                        The last two times that my guy has gone to do a quick throw, then I waited because I had nobody open and he dropped the ball to reset, the game has frozen.

                        Ugh.

On manual, you can put a pass right where you want it, where with assisted the game tries to guess where you want the ball and player to meet (sometimes poorly).

                          I started in stages. First I did manual passing, then shooting, then finally through balls and lob passes. There will be frustration at first but eventually when you get the hang of it, putting together the perfect scoring play is just that much more satisfying.
                          Are players' stats still taken into consideration when using all manual? Or does this get thrown out the window?

                            Loving the new animations. The first touch and physicality are awesome and so much fun to play with.

                            I'm having freezing issues though. In career mode, if I go to edit the CPU teams tactics before the game it freezes before startup 7/10 times

                              they are still taken into consideration. pass/shot strenght and accuracy differs greatly between differently rated players, even on manual.

                                My early thoughts:

                                Battles in the air are great. You can really tell when you have a dominant one in the air.

                                First touch slider is all kinds of winning.

                                Why do all CPU teams try to pass the ball in the net?

                                Defense is a hot mess for both sides. I have rarely seen the CPU go for a no-nonsense clearance, they would rather try to pass the ball out of the back, which leads me to my next impression: the CPU rarely passes laterally or backwards.

                                It also seems like there is no reaction the the second ball in the air for both sides as well.

                                With all said said, it is a solid game.
