Got this on early access the other day so i've played a fair bit of it.
What I will say is, thank f**k for that. It no longer feels like an arcade game. They've finally given us a FIFA that has been built for a more of the older audience and has got kids screaming.
It's all about game plans and timing. Gone are the days of button bashing.
Still taking time to get used to the timed shooting but I really like it so far. It's so much better than all these silly unrealistic goals when the ball is glued to a players feet and he's got the ball in on a turn.
It's very much like the gameplay of PES. You have to be patient in build up and make opportunities for yourself. You can no longer sprint like mad with a player that has 96 pace and expect to break through the midfield and defence.
Game plans are a massive game changer. You can finally install a structure to your side and edit it to the way you want your team to play.
Solid game for me so far that I can't really complain about yet.
