The CPU understands how to use the built in momentum against the user.

my bad. dude, i wish there was a back pedal feature for defense too... frustrating. if you find out, post...i'm going to pick up my copy right now.

oh no. oh please no.

I moved to the season ticket on xbox 360 and was practicing all the time with no time limit over the weekend.

Please no, I really hope they haven't left it out.

Try this, I dont have the game in front of me...

Play -> highlight skill games -> and then use the right analog to scroll over to the practice arena.

Yeah that would be disappointing. I usually spend quite a bit of time practicing odd man rushes and set pieces in practice mode.

Everything seems a touch smoother, player switching seems better, defensive AI seems more competent, and passing on manual feels more responsive and fluid (still a tad too slow on default, but doesn't feel as "clunky" as in the demo). Overall I'm extremely impressed with the flow of play on slow speed, and like seeing the cpu doing a bit of build up play at times. It's not perfect, but I understand that the gameplay has to scale somewhat for a sub 90 minute game. Realistic buildup play wouldn't produce much of a game playing 10 minute halves. Defending feels really good. Feels more responsive than the demo. You still have to be patient, but the cpu seems less godly with its tight dribbling. You have more of an ability to corral the cpu player on the ball into space and make a play. I'm sure I'll see some warts as I play, but this is definitely a strong improvement over 14, and I'll be putting a ton of time into it. Best sports title EA has put out this year, and it's not close. A proper combination of looks, gameplay, and game mode variety.

I agree with just about everything you've said, plus this:
I checked out CM to see what was different, and although it's not much, what is there is definitely welcomed.

- The team formation screens have gotten tons of press already so no need to go there, needless to say its a vast improvement.

-sim speed is hella fast, way faster than last year.

-In the GTN, scouting individual players now takes just two weeks(with good scouts at least) and at the end you are given each players OVR.....Thank you!
There's also a couple of new traits, world class player, and pinpoint crosser.

-Youth scouting is exactly the same, not sure about actual transfers as I haven't gotten that far yet.

Overall I can see myself playing this game until at least next year's release.

I am officially puzzled by this.

Oh man im having tons of fun with the game. Much to my delight the CPU FOULS. So awesome I can finally take some actual FKs with Honda now.

Plus, the CPU clearances are out dor throws and not always counters.

Lastly, my biggest complaint, laser accurate cpu passes can be toned with the pass error slider and see an actual effect. Amazing.

Now im playing on pro after playing hi g her levels last year, but I'll move back up later. This game is so fun

If anyone on next gen has been in practice mode, and could explain how you got there, I'd appreciate it!

this game is incredible. EA deserves a round of applause for this. Its superior to any other sports game this year, even the show.

goaltending is fantastic, game play is revamped, players are more skilled, ball and player physics are very realistic, and the overall presentation with the crowd and all is excellent.. This game is a muat-buy.
