The other goal came when I made of balls of trying to chip him and sent it straight into his chest, only for it to go through his chest and Messi to basically slide around the outline of Reina without breaking his stride and tap it in.

Then we had Torres attempt a dive and get a booking for them which would have been nice to see had any of my defenders been tackling him at the time, basically just threw himself to the deck with noone near him when he could have scored.
I think you need to up your level, I've played like 8 games now on Top Player and that stuff just doesn't happen.

Anyways, another learning curve for this year's Evo. Controlling the ball is no longer as simple as holding sprint from any direction and away you go. The 360 direction stuff is nice, makes the game feel really open and is if anything can happen. Pain in the arse to start with though adapting wise, it's all about timing, how much space you have, how good the player is, who you're against etc. A lot more manual movement involved as well.

Build up play is definitely the way to go on this years version, attack attack attack/get the ball and run is no longer the best form of attack, passing around, waiting for spaces to open up is pretty much essential.

It's easily the best looking Evo of all, kills off FIFA, especially when it comes to faces and kits. Crowds are better too.

That's not to say it's perfect. Keepers still have their moments, the occasional pass/header/touch etc will go in a non-sensical direction nowhere near where you're aiming, teammates AI is baffling at times, still feels a bit rough. However, every single year there's noticable difference between the demo and finished version of the game so I'm pretty confident.
