Seems like build-up play is 10x more important this year. You won't be able to streak down the field and cross it 15 feet from goal every possession.

Get possession, pass the ball up the pitch, and look for a good opportunity. If you try to just get the ball to your forwards as quickly as possible then have them make a run up the pitch you will struggle. Don't be afraid to pass back to your mids and backs if the play isn't there either. Get the ball back, let the opposition come to you, then start pressing forward again.

This. Pace is no longer the most important thing. A strong forward with a good shot is deadly if you have the right style of play. You just have to play the game as it's played.

Also, the changes to shooting and the physics tweaks have changed how the game plays a bit. It takes some getting used to, but I enjoy FIFA a lot more now that it isn't just a constant sprintfest.
