Started up a BAL (Become a Legend) player last night. The new engine/animations are incredible. Also the CPU seems to actually be playing defense this time. Players rushing in to cut off passes, blocking runs, catching guys in off-sides, etc. They also do different attacks through out the game. Instead of just doing the same setup over and over. I also found it nice playing as a CMF that my strikers would actually make runs without me telling them to. They watched what I was doing with the ball, and if the option was there, they would make a run for the through or lob. Really glad I went with this over FIFA this year. I will get FIFA on next gen however. Bur for now I will enjoy this game.
They also added in some more South American leagues/teams. Got rid of the PES/WES leagues. Added a few other leagues. Asia and Australia. The career mode as a player (BAL) seems more real thus far also. I am not auto picked for every game with low stats/unproven. Eight games into the season and the cpu coach is actually rotating the roster properly. I've only played in three games. Started one and came in as a sub in two. Some people might not like this, but I do.
I haven't played any of the other modes yet, but so far I am really enjoying this. The one thing I don't like however is the new menu system. Its pretty terrible.
