I would rather have the player impact be a little too over the top then the other way around.

I love this version of FIFA.

You do realize I am one of the biggest fans of Backbreaker right?

It is a bit over the top, but in real time it looks pretty damn good.

I found it rather awkward as well. I often wanted my teammate to contain while I tracked a runner... only problem is I needed to sprint to keep up with him. Both right shoulder buttons at the same time is not my idea of intuitive controls. Here's what I did and it helped (PS3/360):

R1/RB: Contain (the guy I'm controlling)
Square/X: Teammate contain
X/A: Tackle

This setup uses the old teammate press button to call for teammate contain and returns human tackling to the same button as well. Plus, you don't really need to sprint during user contain, so the R1/R2 dilemma isn't much of an issue.

I dropped down to Professional as well to get accustomed to tactical defending and the controls. The learning curve on defense is large and I usually wasn't chasing all over the field in previous years. I think I really like it, but man is it going to take some time to adjust.

I would like to see AI teammates mark a little tighter away from the ball. I believe that's one of the sliders, so that's good news (I think).

You can CHANGE the camera.

Not sure what you mean about the shooting. To be honest, I didn't have the opportunity to take many shots. Care to elaborate?

You can CHANGE the button assignments. I also did not like using R1 for teammate contain.

Use the zoom slider in the camera setting. If that still doesn't fit you, try the new tele-broadcast camera.

Its absolutely amazing. No more auto defending crap and it seems like they've turned down the turbo affect too. High pressure defenses will get punished this year. I played a contain style defense in 11 so it's not a big adjustment to me.

The general physics of the players and the ball feel way more natural too. The AI attack is actually based upon working the ball into the box and not just crossing it into the box for a header every time.

But IMO, the super powered defenders from last year are toned down a bit. You actually have time on the ball this year to set up your offense as opposed to last year where the heat seeking missle defenders blow you up.

My 2nd video

Dortmund (me) vs Man City
2nd half I switched to the Tele-Broadcasting camera

I am all about the tele broadcast camera. Might be my favorite sports game camera besides NBA 2ks broadcast cam.

I agree. I usually mess around with different cameras but the default one is perfect this year.
