Hi all,
I thought I would share my impressions of the demo in a clear concise manner.
Note: these are my initial thoughts -- might include more in the future
Positives;

Positives;
- Tactics are finally in the game properly and work! Each team plays differently. Juventus & Man Utd are hard to break down, Tottenham & Man City are open and expansive. In one game, I had to change my "players in the box" ratio because I kept being caught out on the break, nice to see that I had to do that in FIFA.
- The headers all over the pitch are much more authentic & fluid (PES like)
- Players are much more like their counterparts, example Sterling had pace, Kompany doesn't. This is the first FIFA where I have experienced this feeling of pace, dribbling ability, strength and balance.
- Goalkeepers are not superhuman
- It is VERY hard to break down the AI on legendary / hard to create chance in the final third. So much so, that the AI couldn't break me down either. I had 3 games in a row 0-0. I had to apply my latest FIFA 18 gameplay patch to rectify this, causing the AI to beat me 3 times in a row. 1 game Tottenham beat me 4-0 with some fantastic goals.
- Graphics (Models & Textures, not animations) are still poor and players still look like "The Sims" characters
- Champions League English commentary is AWFUL and painful to listen to. Worse than PES. Thank goodness, I would barely listen to it in a full-game (if I get it).
- The AI still wont change their tactics. PES still wins on this and it wouldnt be hard for EA to implement something using their new feature in 19.
