While this is an ongoing sore spot for the series, especially with anything other than a strict referee, it's a real problem this year. As you said, it seems collisions aren't resulting in foul calls when they should. That gives a little reason for optimism for fix from EA -- as much as they probably don't want to slow the game down too much, I doubt that want people getting mugged either.

The ideal solution would be a referee strictness slider, or better yet, multiple: fouls, cards, penalties, handballs. The idea of referee personalities is fine, but tweaking the baseline with global sliders would make it a lot better.
