With all due respect to Wolf, this announcment seems a bit too melodramatic. This year's Fifa has certainly improved above the previous installment more than it ever did for last 6 years, but as Nuno said, it's not THAT awesome really. Player movement still feels too stiff and automatic, the pace and flow of a game is still too fast and hectic, no player individualities whatsoever(you can dribble and pass around with Puyol as well as you do it with Ronaldinho), still the old simplyfied team management (remember Fifa98 *sigh*).
I'm playing this demo for a couple of days and already sensing tediousness sliping in. Dunno, maybe the full version will give some options that'll improve general gameplay (they could implement the same slider options as in NHL games to tweak gameplay).
As for annoyances Wolf listed, most of these seems like really typical minor matters that's commonly bugging us every year with Konami games, nothing new. We still keep playing because of the superior overall gaming experience.
Licences really couldn't be an issue to reconvert back to Fifa, seriously.
By the way. NHL06 is absolutely magnificent game according to demo. Now that's a really huge leap towards realism EA has done. I am totally blown away, both of the surprise for EA Sports and great hockey gaming experince. Certainly the best ice hockey sim yet.
