Quick opinion:

Absolutely loving it so far. However, I can't STAND the menu system at all. It seems too clunky but I guess I'm used to spreadsheets in text simulators.

Regarding in-game play though, I feel like I'm winning too many headers but that may due to the teams I'm picking. The majority of my games have been online and I've gone with Chelsea or Real Madrid since the teams that my opponents typically choose are Liverpool, Man Utd or Barca.

I love watching my fullbacks overlap and my teammates make runs when they don't have the ball. I'm disappointed that we can only setup 4 plays though (2 def, 2 off). Tempo seems to be dictated based on the player with the ball. For example, if I'm sprinting with the ball, my teammates will step up their pace and head for open channels. Regarding defending, I haven't noticed too many miscues but we have to take sample size into consideration. Anyway, back to the sticks . . .

By the way, the game is gorgeous too.
