demo already plays sooo nicely imo, The new defending system really makes it so much better.
also I find the overall pace of the game is a bit slower and you're not constantly under pressure as soon as you get the ball like in fifa11, which is a good thing.

yeah tackelling is some what a challenge if the otherside are holding onto the ball well.
has anyone managed to trap the ball, do half a maradonna and then with their back turned to the goal, backheel shoot?
did it with nasri from outside the box and hit the bar. got well fucking giddy!
not ideal that arsenal have sold nasri and cesc, looking forward to arteta though. gonna have to change the midfield though as i want vanny P supporting chamach

This. You can actually take a player on without using skill moves now. A big improvement. Also the tackling is alot more realistic. Looking promising.
Where are UK people going to buy it from this year? Tempted for a midnight Tesco trip. Can't be arsed to pre-order probably won't arrive on time.

Yeah good call. Apparently this year you can get it for £30 from Tesco if you spend another £30 ie for the weekly shop. The RRP seems ridiculous this year, £54.99?! I know it won't be that much come release day. but still... You can pre order it from Blockbuster now for £43

Got the demo... the defending was difficult for the first couple of games, but it's MUCH better... and attacking feels better because of it. Fast players can actually run past people now without needing to do a daft little skill, but the defenders have loads more options for stopping... aceness.
Want the whole thing and a fucking roster update NOW. It's depressing me how good Fabregas and Nasri are.

tell me about it. i'm not looking forward to the real thing with arsenal loosing cesc and nasri. looking forward to arteta but it's looking like i might have to start using man u for the flair.
