For Starters the Menu is extremely complex and some features are very hard to activate or make work properly, an example is Squad Updates which so far I believe the only way to get is at the Beginning of an online match, unlike the case in Fifa 08. However the Adidas Live Season works very well. My main gripe with the Next-Gen Fifa's is the inclusion of a weird and confusing menu system unseen in the previous gen consoles which kept the menu structure simple. But my main complaint is the inability to save replays onto your HDD, but onto the EA Servers (another complaint as they occasionally stop working).
A few newly added features that work well are the new Random arenas, Be a Pro:Seasons and very Lag-Free Online Multiplayer even on a 64Kbit connection. These along with the new FIWC blend together with a terrific 42 song soundtrack to provide an addictive and memorable Soccer Experience.
