Congrats NK on releasing v5. I've played 9 games, 4 at legendary, 2 at WC, and 2 PR and at AM, and here is my feed back in general:
The Good Things:
1. Stronger attacking all the time (Intensity did its job). I liked the fact that the CPU attacks all the time, instead of being calm at first half then getting stronger in the 2nd half.
2. Improved Defence for both human and CPU which leads to more middle field plays, and more realistic attacks. It gives me the feeling that the CPU is actually thinking instead of only following a couple of moves.
The Bad Things:
1. The amount of post hits is just ridiculous, in one game I had 5 headers which all hit the upper post without going in, even regular shots went most of the time as post hits. That's just too much and annoying, because I actually hated this thing in the original Fifa 06 gameplay. It's making the game absolutely unrealistic. TOO MUCH POST HITS. I didn't like this at all and it keeps ruining my mood.
2. The CPU dose not seems to shot at all, I played 9 full games, yet the average of the CPU shots at goal were from 2 to 4 shots at max! In your older versions the CPU use to give it a long shot at the goal every now and then, but in v5 the CPU just thinks about attacking and that's it.
3. The Ball physics are not real at all man; I mean the ball flies fast (very) and hits the ground like if it was a rock. I'm not comparing the v5 ball physics to older game play versions, I'm actually comparing it to real soccer matches, where a huge difference can be seen.
4. What's up with the super charged long lop??!!!! I usually return the ball to my keeper so that he'd lop it back to the middle with a full charge but with a full power lop in v5 the ball seems to fly to the other goal like if the shooter was some kind of a super hero!! Unrealistic man.
5. I feel that most of the aspects are all the same as the old versions of yours, the only clear difference was the intensity adjustment, which I feel is a good trick, I mean I tried your intensety.txt with my 2.5 gameplay and it was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced.
6. With your v5, I rarely can do a trick, I mean I use to do at least 4 to 7 tricks in a match with Ronaldinho for example, but now it's impossible because of the CPU's accurate tackling, they always seem to take the ball from me so easily. I don't know if this is a good thing or not?!
All in all, This patch reminded me of PES 5, for some reason. But I like the way you configured the intensety.txt to a better level. I'll keep giving you my feed backs every time I play a game.
Peace!
