Well then you are agreeing with a person who is clueless about football, what does that make you? I wouldn't be so quick to share this indidual's thoughts, doesn't take long to figure out this game is different and that the reviewer does not have an in depth clue about football, moreso the FIFA series, the review was very weak, hardly any depth, no talk about manage mode etc....
All he kept complaining was that the thru ball doesn't always work with billiant runs by the AI. Well that's a good thing.....HELLO!, just by that statement this guy has no clue about the game. I have played the hell out of the demo because I think it's a great game and I am not leaving my brain home just because some reviewer who has probably never touched a pitch doesn't like the game because in his words:
"EA's football series gets a complete makeover for 360, but would a simple facelift have been a better option?"
"Through-balls aren't quite so easy to pull off, but that's not usually the fault of the player but a problem we encountered with the AI of our team-mates"
"You don't have as much control over the direction of the through-ball either, so even when a run is timed to perfection your pass is often wayward and intercepted by a defender rather than rolling just in front of the feet of your runner. As a result build-up play isn't as satisfying and indeed enjoyable as it is in current-gen FIFA, which seems a bit odd considering EA got it so right on PS2 and the original Xbox."
Need I say more, I quit buying FIFA after 2003, just a really horrible review for hard core soccer fans like us, absolute insult
