I'd say it's made a pretty big leap. Last year the guys would just stand around, on offense or defense, and this year they make good runs on their own, and they do a better job of closing down on defense, as well as marking. I really thought I'd be going with PES this year, but I may change my tune after extensive time with the FIFA demo. If the gameplay is this close to the quality of PES (or better depending on opinions), then why wouldn't you want all the licensing and extra content?
