"Balancing attacking headers."

All I needed ffs!

Wtf is this shit.

Weidenfeller Putting perfect through balls for Lewa/Reus/Auba

Scrub from Dortmund at LB playing passes Xavi wouldn't dream of

L1 and triangle passes can be executed by any player perfectly unfortunately.

The shooting animation feels fluid, and it feels good to attempt a shot every now and then

Although, like Swans said, when you attack the CPU puts 11 men behind the ball. It can be extremely tedious and quite annoying, really

They have tried very hard to make this game challenging. I like some aspects of it. For example playing teams with 11 men behind the ball is something that happens in real life a lot. However not every time plays that way and fifa isn't distinguishing it. Same with pressing.

What i do like about the new fifa is that the first touch has improved and looks very easy on the eye.

Players style is more unique than ever. Cazorla on fifa plays like he does in real life. Same with Ozil.

Graphics are better obviously.

What i don't like is the games engine has become shitter. AI is pretty retarded at times. More than in fifa13.

Passing is terrible

So, how's the new patch playing out?

Not sure it's out yet ( for ps3 anyways)

I left a seasons match right away because it was lagging.. Got a loss

Forgot you can't do that anymore

Some berk quit the match after I scored 3-1 in the 82nd minute and as I was about to go back to the menu I got the "an error occured..blah blah" message and I wasn't awarded the win. WTF?!

This.Is.EA

You are right RG, the AI absolutely sucks. I have a question, how do you make your defenders mark the runs of any player? its freaking stupid the way it works. Its like hey you control 1 guy and all your other players will stroll throughout the game

My issue with that one is that they said they fixed that issue from Fifa 13 about defenders not playing as a team or the attackers not pressing as a unit. I honestly think EA has dropped the ball on this one

^You don't know how to use tactical defending, then?

 im trying to learn this game but its all chase and rush , you have no choice bot to use it . you can no longer shield the ball because if fifa mentality the attacker can come from behind put you down and get the ball . if you try to run just presing r2 they get the ball in no time even the slowest of players with hang on you for like 5 minute of game time all together its not football , trying to learn this new sport

I tried to put cricket game into play , looking at the location of all players and do long passes because any other dribbling other than chase and rush will fail duo to the hanging players

In another game I was up 2-1 when my opponent quit, and I got the win.. Dats some BS

Patch out on PS3.

Noticed the gliding movement is back from FIFA 13.

Dribbling and first touch still not the best.

They have ruined defending.

So what was that 40 mb thing I downloaded yesterday before being able to play??

Patch could have come out early in other countries probably.

I had a lot of fun with FIFA 13 and while I'm enjoying the game more since the new patch I have to say the game is flawed in many aspects and I can see myself getting bored/frustrated pretty quickly.

Unfortunately the added frustration hasn't come as a trade-off for more realism. The game, as it stands, is very unbalanced and favours attacking much more than defending. Defensive AI for example is very poor at times and inconsistent at its best. Shooting is unrealistically good, you just don't ever fail hitting the target. The game is still predictable, every goal you score (and concede) is the same.

Like 80% of the reason I just couldnt buy this game this year. I could see from the demo right away it would be like this. I just couldnt justify it for a third year in a row.

So many of the goals feel like I have seen it before. Lacks the spontaneity and surprise of the real football.

Perhaps that's why we couldn't play together yesterday...

The thing is I'm not satisfied with PES either
