nice tip. this has been helping out a TON. can finally get some nice 1-2s going, and havent sent a random cross-field through ball since i switched.
Yup. I swapped my pass control (I think that's what it is called...whichever helps with direction) from auto to assist as well. That helped tremendously with through balls. I was having problems with players not staying in motion for passes. I would pass from Silva to Aguero and the ball would go STRAIGHT to the defender a step or two behind Aguero. Once I changed those 2 options I can now pass and get the ball to hit Aguero in stride. Like I said, you have to be a little more careful and accurate with the sticks but once you get the hang of it it is pretty easy.

Just to follow up on my PC post from last night...
If you have a machine that will handle it, the PC version is so worth it. I FLY through load screens. On the 360, I was really getting annoyed with the clunky menus...not on PC. Swapping players in your lineup is instant. The gameplay is smooth as silk. Graphics are great.
I got a couple packs from Moddingway that made it even better. This one helps with the coloring. I have one that redoes the ad boards for 'realistic ads' (not necessary but why not), one that makes the clock/score graphics league specific, and one that improves the pitch texture.
I wasn't going to get it on PC this year because I wasn't big on 13 for PC. A friend got it for me though and I love it. Totally different game from the 360 version.

Any tips for 1st time players on getting shots off?
Move the ball quickly around the edge of the area to pull defenders out of position/look to get in behind them/look to cut in from wide areas/shoot from distance if you aren't being challenged. Don't think defenders respond to shots from distance like they would in real life, but goalkeepers generally won't hold it if the shot is halfway decent.

Yeah, after playing the demo, I was pretty indifferent to the two as I hadn't played FIFA on my PS3 in a while. After playing the early release on PS3, I was very grateful to have purchased FIFA for the PC.

Had a few goalkeepers let a rebound bounce straight back towards the PK spot with shots that you would think they would have latched on to, sometimes just having a crack with active forwards running in works.

I've played a few online and still getting used to the passing. I get knocked off the ball constantly without a foul being called which is the one frustrating thing.
I also run some Manager Mode and I feel like defending is really hard at times. On World Class it just seems like the computer scores goals that aren't defensible, such as balls over the top of my computer controlled back line. I try to keep possession Barca style with a 2nd half lead as "defense".

No joke, I was getting thrown off the ball yesterday and no foul. It's as if collisions are okay as long as you don't press B or X. Even if you end up flung to the ground and slide 10 ft away (slight exaggeration).

It's absolutely infuriating. You get mauled and its a no call, but you bump into them with a little tap of B... call in the dogs.

i've been really busy and haven't had a chance to pick up the retail copy yet. What's the verdict on the patches? Have they fixed the super slow menus that existed in the early release version?

I've run into a few of these instances. My player will just barely bump a guy who is running STRAIGHT at him...and I get a card.

FIFA 14
Is a dramatic step down from 13. And I didn't like 13 that much.
Broken transfer system.
Fast players just don't exist (unless it's a computer CH able to chase down a winger on the break...)
All computer defenders are Beckenbauer
Brushing a computer player = foul and card
Manager mode interface is horrendous
Announcers say the exact same things as last year
Passing sucks
And much more.

Agreed. It's a pain in the arse getting caught from behind by computer defenders with reus, blast, and other wings/forwards on my FUT team

This pisses me more than anything. The fouling and reffing in the past 2 fifa installments has been horrendous

Disagree here, I think it's just fine.
My second biggest gripe in this game is how well the computer can shield your defenders off the ball no matter how strong or bad they are. It's almost impossible to win a tackle. I also find that 90% of my won tackles go straight back to the computer's team.

ive come around on the passing as well. i hated it at first, but now im finally used to it, and getting better at keeping possession.
however, my new main gripes are player switching blows, even manually. i always get switched where im not expecting, and pull a guy out of position. it also wont allow me, with regularity, to switch attacking players to run down passes that may have gone past the original target.
but the absolute worst part of 14 is when a player just sits there, a ball coming right at him, and does nothing. even under user control, just sits there.
ive been able to adjust to most of my previous issues, but this one just reeks of half-assed development, like the manager mode interface. i never had issues in 11 or 12 where i said to myself "frick this game is whack." i do it all the time in 14.

I play seasons a shitload also, just got promoted to 8, on my way up. Got up to 2nd division on 13, but could never break out.
