The demo came out today and I've got to say I'm really disappointed - I didn't 'get' the new passing system, it seemed like I could hold A down to get a longer pass going but the game would decide I just wanted to roll it to a nearby player (I didn't touch the assist options mind you) and the amount each players passing ability varies just seems too much when you need to be so precise.  I also found it way too easy to take possession and too hard to keep it, I've played 4 matches so far and only 1 goal has been scored in all those games and it was scrappy as hell. Lastly, what the hell is going on with the new penalty system? :|

" @borodin: Go to control options and switch passing to manual. No one ever scores at first when the new game comes out, takes a while to get used too. "

Well I just played it some more and wow, I'm not sure what was wrong with me earlier but I'm having way more fun with it now! Well worth a look

I love the demo. The graphics are by far improved over 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa. The players are by far more recognizable. Also, the computer doesn't assist you as much with the accuracy of your passing which is great because it makes the gameplay more challenging. I'm glad they got rid of how you could control your player after he scored a goal and celebrate with him in 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa. I always thought it was a bit cheesy. I've only played a couple games but this is what I've noticed so far. i'm sure I'll be back posting more things that I've noticed sooner rather then later.  

I'm writing up a user impression blog on both the FIFA and PES demos in another tab right now.

hey man im all for some Fifa but what is there to demo ? 
 
its just another arcade-ish football game in the series.. nothing changes about Fifa 

I didn't like the penalties either, even the AI was having trouble scoring. Otherwise it's fine. Be a goalkeeper seems a laugh but I'd never seriously learn how to do it properly with all the assists off.

I find it much harder. I usually play legendary and win easily but for this game I had to switch to world class, then to professional. I still find it challenging to score. I think I just need to get used to it.

The difficulty is noticeable to me, I've been playing fifa for over a decade now and It seemed tricky to shoot accurately. Maybe with practice and getting used to how it controls it'll become easier.
