This game has so many things wrong with it it's unbelievable.
The passing is poor, it sometimes doesn't give you the player you want when defending and the 2nd defender button does nothing except run next to the opposition.
I'm not sure the game understands what a foul is as you can get slide tackled with no contact made to the ball and play continues, the crowd noise keeps on jumping.
EA should look to sort out these basic issues for the next game instead of trying to recreate what was previously a decent system with other FIFA games, if they want to improve.
