Somethins I notice which is bad is that the chants and cheers are to americanised.
What i mean is when there is a dnagerous attack the fans screams sound like children and girls at an ice hockey game or something lol. They dont sound like some rough italians or germans or holigans anyway haha..sounds like some American kids....
Also anyone know if they removed contracts or changed contract system for ultimate team?

So you're an expert on the sounds of American kids are you?
That's more than a little disturbing.

No injuries are increased as I don't see enough, but of course you can lower the setting if you don't like it!
Where was this confirmed?

Am i missing something or can i not play exibition matches? can anyone tell me where they are?? loving the game though, got same buzz as when i first played Pro Evo 5.
Weird
Will roll back the drivers and see if it's a forceware issue.
Quite surprised this plays well on a 4 yer old PC maxed out, just peeing me off when it locks up. Not doing it in other games

Frustration 13.....should be the name of this bitch of a game......I say that because, given EA usually do a good job of updating the game(gameplay and modes).....there are control issues/bugs/glitches that have BEEN IN THIS GAME SINCE 09 and ARE STILL UNRESOLVED...drives me crazy.....just to give you a few examples:
DEFENDING
1. changing the control cursor onto a different player in an air ball or loose ball situation (my controls - cursor change only on airballs)
Most of the time (I would say 90%) the CPU picks a player that is furthest away from the ball (whether it's bouncing or loose) and that player automatically runs towards the ball. Whatever you do (even if you mash on the player change button) you will either get no response until THAT player that the cpu first picked got to the ball or it changes after about 20 mashes or 10 seconds late (once your opponent gets to the ball)
2. cursor change in general IGNORES the fucking midfield and I find myself most of the time in a tug of war with the CPU were I try relentlessly to get my DM to run back and cover and it keeps flicking among my defenders.
3. Even if you hit the teammate contain button a lot of times you will get a defender, who is acres away from the ball, leave his position to help rather than the closest midfield/winger to the ball.
I fail to understand how these fundamental issues haven't been resolved/updated yet for so many years
ATTACKING
1. I am a guy who likes to cross usually. So far, in this game if you get a guy who is completely free and you cross it (low, ground or high) you may be able to get a decent shot on goal. Otherwise, whatever you attempt, even if you beat the defender on the near post, your shot will either magically hit the defender or fly over harmlessly. It's the exact opposite of the misleading contested headed goal we saw in the trailer.
2. most of the scoring happens when you pass the ball around until your attacker gets a "magic" touch and charges through the "ghost" defender and you get a free one-on-one. Less frequent goals come from shots from outside if you are completely free or crosses to a completely free player.
3. Shielding when in complete possession doesn't work/isn't realistic. Defenders still manage to run you over and you never get a foul. I am not saying you should always manage to successfully shield the ball but the defender has to either get a proper angle or nick it around you and not through you
OTHER issues:
1. I got over 50 freezes so far in the Arena screen prior to online games (when it says it found an opponent and it is supposed to load up the game) where I can't get out of the Arena and have to restart (thankfully I don't get a loss)
2. got about 6 losses as a result of my game freezing in the online team management screen between in halftime during online games (was actually winning 4 of those games)
3. my Career mode froze three times in and out of games
to whoever runs the quality department in EA......a big F U.

Same problems. I tried to use custom tactics, custom formations or team mentality (Ultra defense)to make my DM cover and support defenders
nerf
Forming triangles
That's the nature of games these days, they're all as bad as each other in that regard. We've gone past the point where it was possible to release a cutting edge game that is sufficiently tested/fixed.
I haven't had any freezes so far (PC), but I've only been playing Exhibitions and messing with sliders.
I think most player selection frustrations can be relieved by getting into the habit of using the Right Stick to select rather than the shoulder button.

Game speed is the only problem to me! (demo feedback)
The game is too fast online. I've been playing on slow with semi-assisted settings with friends and still find it to be too much. It's fine offline (though only with sliders so it's not completely permissable) but online is silly. I have nothing but sympathy for those that play assisted at 'normal' speed.
Somebody raised a point which I read recently (either on here or elsewhere): EA have three speed settings so why do they not actually utilise them to play fast, slow and normal? Wouldn't a sensible development decision be to assume that those looking for a 'slow' game are doing so because they actually want a slow, almost methodical at times, game? They have the option of the default setting but find it too fast so make a decision in response to seek a slower game. This isn't rocket-science. It's logic.
The decision-making is evidently not in the hands of a few people because it doesn't feel like there's any commitment to an idea at all. They make a great game technically but they shoot themselves in the foot with things like this because it strikes you that there's too many conflicting opinions being made and in the end they settle with a decision that suggests they are appeasing the majority of the fifa-demographic (who probably won't even touch the slow setting).
It's not even particularly difficult to understand why the game is so fast. It's the Acceleration and Sprint Speed. Reduce both by 5 and you've instantly got a slower, more methodical, game by default. What on Earth the 'slow' setting actually does is a loss to me.

I have not played the demo, so I don't know how slow that was. But I played 10 manual games online last night on slow and it was perfect. In my opinion it felt slower than on Fifa 12.
Must say the "Manual" lobby on live is great, no problem finding people to play with manual controls that way.

Having some problems finding the most accurate downloadable tournaments in the creation centre. Anyone who has downloaded any they are satisfied with?
There is no speed option for online..

Maybe it's because I play unranked games? I went in to the Xbox live hubs and there I could choose game speed...
Having crashes on my main gaming rig (only replays and Highlights, it just gets stuck on the video but the sound still plays), but tried the game on laptop at that's fine.
I can't even get back to desktop so I just have to press reset all the time, which isn't ideal.
Maybe it's just a graphics driver issue.

Good question, does anybody know any? I found an Italia 90 one which looks ok, but I haven't tried it out yet. The limited options with player appearance really limit the creation centre though, if they had more options it would be much better.
