Disappointing tbf, from an online pov.
The game hasn't moved away from this easy one touch passing. It's still all about getting the ball to the attackers as fast as possible (too easy to do). Once there, 1st touch pass - play it round the defender for a 1-2 play it through. Rinse and repeat. Throw in all those perfect backheels, and it's the same gameplay as previous yrs I'm seeing here.
1-2's still look so imbalanced. So easy to spam & cut the defence to shreds.
If the passing is more free this yr, I haven't seen any evidence to support it from all these vids.
Have yet to see a goal scored that would create any positive emotion if I were to have scored it, which is not a good sign.
Hope the demo changes my mind.
