Thanks dude...Are you able to compete passing moves/plays that you cannot do on PA1, as in more free?
There's just no comparison. It feels like the game has come to life. And it really doesn't take that long for manual passing to feel natural - much more natural than computer guided passing.
Advanced through balls are amazing too. Takes ages to get used to the system (you press the button and a circle appears on the pitch, you move the circle to where you want to put the ball and then let go of the button) but once you get the hang of it you'll never go back. With a good passer you can totally break the artificial "straight lines" of the game and start curling short chipped passes in-between defenders etc., Things you just can't do in PA1.
Also, the rest of your team respond to manual passes and advanced through balls - for example, if you see a player running down the wing and you want him to come inside to receive a pass, on PA1 you can't do it. He'll just keep running in a straight line and that's where your pass will go, wherever you try to put it. His predetermined running pattern is more powerful than your input. On manual / advanced through ball, you can play the ball in his direction but slightly infield and slightly short, and he will change his run to come and get it. Suddenly the whole pitch opens up.
