Wow you and Matt are so right, I can't stand watching the constant shifting out of position, no player slows down, everyone is moving off the ball one way or the other. Players turn so quick it's chaotic.
Football is a game that can be slowed down to walking, even standing, pace. And it can be highly disciplined; rigid even. Football can also be fast as lightening, fluid and free. I don't see that in this game, I just see chaotic end to end stuff. Of course a lot of the players playing are sprinting forward themselves at every chance: that makes the AI play faster. I've always noticed in PES if YOU slow down, so does the AI.
The Goalkeepers look better though.
