Erm...what's with the sprinting?

[TheDarkKnight87]

I've been playing the FIFA demo for some time, and it's really getting me down. I can't go on a run down the wing relying only on speed. Actually, i can't go by any player by sprinting. A few times i put a through pass to my striker, and i had 2 meters in front of the defender, but he caught up immediately. :/
Either i'm doing something wrong or the sprinting is really fvcked up...and i'm inclined to think it's the latter.

i went by people sprinting, they caught up after a while, but you can definately get ahead of them.

you must have a much faster player to sprit past, like Nedved vs. Hiero

or use a skill move to make some space.

Never try doing a skill move right in front of them, try to run around, and keep the ball as far as possible, trying to go directly 1 on 1 is 100% sure to get you to lose the ball.... also try playing through balls on the wings, or try drifting to the wings when running...

thats what i do, i go on the wing and outrun them.
Freestyle will (like last year) probably be easier to do on a playstation 2 gamepad.
