Oh, okay. I didn't realize those were in the game, thanks for the info. I heard something about sliders a while back but it never registered. I assume those sliders aren't in the demo, because I haven't seen any.

I really like the feel of the game this year, I hope it works out that it's fixable with sliders and such.

Not in the demo unfortunately.

Hey, if there are sliders, there's always hope

What crossing assistance do you use? I've long thought that the user's assistance settings somehow affect the CPU as well. I typically use manual crossing, through balls & lobs (and sometimes full manual). I know it sounds like a crackpot internet theory, but I swear it loosens up the CPU's crossing so every one isn't directly to a head.

Or maybe I'm crazy.

Does that settings affects the CPU at all Qb? If so, I'll try i today.

Interesting theory. I'm using all manual however. I have since the FIFA series first introduced manual. IMO one of the best additions to any sports game ever, and the biggest reason I enjoy FIFA so much.

Then I guess I'm crazy. At least I know where I stand.

It could be your theory has some merit. What I notice is the CPU will suddenly jack up the pressure, and that's when I see the perfect crosses and passes and so forth. But I also see errant passes by the CPU in midfield at times when it's not pressuring me. And those passes are as pathetically off-target at times as my passing sometimes is. Which is what I love about manual controls -- I can make really bad plays if I'm not careful.

Tweaking the passing error slider is gonna be a must, IMO. However, I dont think we've gotten confirmation that we'll be able to tweak the CPU sliders. Just like madden 09 when EA decided we didn't need cpu sliders
