Okay, after playing about 40-50 matches, here's what I think:

This could be the soccer game that we've been waiting for. I've finally figured out the controls, and this is key. After whining about possession stats for so long, I've finally figured it out. I just played about 10 matches in a row as England vs France, attempting to play in a conservative, "safety first" underdog type of style. Playing for the draw, or whatever you want to call it. Each time I ended with 40% or less possession.

And I wasn't playing sloppy or just giving the ball away. I was playing realistically. Kicking the ball to midfield every time my keeper had the ball, clearing it away in from my own 1/3 instead of being stupid and attempting short passes, and keeping the CPU at midfield as best I could using the jockey and tackle commands.

You can legitimately play to the style you want, and the game will fit it. If you want to play arcade style, you can do that and it will work. If you want to play a simulation style, you can do that too. I can't wait for the full game.
