We wanted it sharp, but it's not as they told us.

If I were to pick this game as my first FIFA game, I'd say that they needed time; maybe next year the next version would be less buggy. The problem is that they have been creating features so that we keep on buying the game, but have been doing that for too many years without ever creating a solid sandbox that would allow them to develop a decent game up!

While playing with a Pro in Career Mode, you can see your teammates passing the ball from one to another (back and forth), for maybe 5 times in a row, before doing a stupid pass to the opposition, exposing the team to a very dangerous counter attack. If you're a forward, waiting for a chance to score... It's usually a rather UNfunny moment.
Asking for a pass results too often in your player doing a tackle, which means you'll have a hard time controlling it.

Something that I thought they should have done long ago is to explain EXACTLY what each thing does (ex. Morale, Form). I'd like to see numbers or at least something that would allow me to choose which player to put on the pitch (in a logic way).
And getting here: why can't we see that information just before a match?

I found it strange that they didn't let us have our "classic" Pro, training in a "parallel dimension" and coming back much better after a single day (for that Career Mode). It felt more like "Look! That's me in the game, playing as a ST!" instead of: "Look! That's my ST!".

This was at least my case, of someone that plays mostly in the Career Mode.

I give this game a 7.0, because I'd like to start punching them for not thinking about excellence before another feature.
Most probably, I won't be pre-ordering the next instalment.
