I don't know why people are so worried about gameplay improvements, from what I've read that's been their main focus. In both articles its expressed the graphics are pretty much the same, which is a good thing IMO. While Konami constantly fap over faces so detailed you can see every freckle on Torres' face, it seems EA are more focused on the gameplay elements which is 1000 times more important. Not only that, but rather than use buzzwords like 'revamp' or 'innovative', they've actually described what they're improving and how. Better goalkeeper mechanics, the possibilty of them messing up or being wrong footed by a feint, which is a massive improvement from FIFA 09. 360 dribbling which could redefine gameplay we're used to, no longer can you feel 'trapped' as if you're on trails, this should make build-up for goals extremely more varied. A slower game pace. Better shooting mechanics. More importance on technically gifted players rather than phyiscal players, Messi for instance was never as effective in FIFA 09, they say they've given players with better dribbling abilities more chance of retaining the ball when harrassed by big defenders. Wider pitches...
I dunno about you lot but im ridiculously more excited about FIFA this year than PES indepth facial details and tactical overhaul, which would both be meaningless if they haven't addressed the gameplay.
