Yeh I can understand your dissapointment mate.
Dont be fooled by Fifa's great looks, it plays very similar to 07. Animations are better but there is the same lag there to contend with.
To TankOr, quite simply press had a more complete version to play. Much better than the shambles that was on the show floor.
Cheers for the reply mate.
Just incase you missed it amongst the words though, did you or anyone try the analog sticks and where there more directionality for longpasses etc?
Also, when you say "more complete", does that mean that things were changed between the floor and press versions, or does that mean that there were additional things included in the press version (but the things that were common between the versions was the same)?
IE, was there one more pass animation in the press version over the floor one, but the rest of the animations were the same between them. Just trying to figure out how they were different, in animations, or pass speeds, or time players take to receive the ball, or such.
Again, cheers so much for the coverage mate, I have thoroughly enjoyed and I have checked the blog looots (as I will continue to do just in case

.
EDIT: Also, are there 2 versions of the heel rush? One I saw with Henry was done 90 degrees from his body (to his right) whilst the video on your site is Ronaldo doing it 45 degrees to his front-left. Is it both an automatic aswell as manual trick (Like the shotfeint turn was in PES6, where for example Ronaldinho would turn 90 degrees when running normally by making a little shot feint move to acentuate his high technique stats?
In other words, you can do the Heel Rush with R1 + 45 degrees (as you said on the blog), but is it also performed automatically by certain players when you turn 90 degrees as a novelty trick for certain special players or players with high technique).
Also, do you know if tricks like the Elastico, the Heel Rush and such are still hardcoded, or are they finally "free"? Reason I am asking is that if I create myself, I might want my player to be able to do the Elastico or the Heel Rush, which wasn't possible in PES6 since they were hardcoded to a few players.
THis is also important for edotrs etc when they might add up-and-coming players to the game, that might be very technical, or for when KONAMI simply miss to assign the trick to real players that do it all the time (There were players in PES6 that couldn't do the elastico when they in real-life have been seen doing it in matches).
I just don't like KONAMI not giving us access to all tricks and features as if they are afraid we cannot handle it properly.
