pace was better last year, although it is still far from bad this year and still great for online play, I feel other stats can be more important depending how you want to play. because of the runs this year the cpu teammates do, i feel like id rather have precision passers and dribblers because of how confident I am in scoring in the final third. as long as I can handle the ball well, I feel like I have 2 or 3 options when I am attacking, compared to maybe a second option if im lucky in last years game.
