My thoughts on FIFA11 Gameplay, please make comments

I feel like there is something wrong witht the game this year, I liked the idea of the game beeing slowed down and made more realistic (unlike 09 and 10 where you pretty much sprinted back and forth all match long).
I thought, great, slowed down gameplay.... more realistic, do some proper build up passing, maybe drible a guy on the wing, maybe some one twos and slith it past the keeper, or do a clever backheel and a 18yard shot straight into the top corner.... you know, the things all football fanatics dream of :)
But after playing alot of online games ( I must also admit ive seen this "bug" of constantly doing lobbed through passes until you score, I will get back to this), I must say.... I see the potential but things arent thought through well enough, you are CONSTANTLY under pressure, there is no time to get ball control and spot a great pass, as soon as you pass the ball, the AI blocks every route instantly, and since getting the ball under control takes the time it now does, you are easely surounded, and what you end up with is ping pong passing and stressing.
People has found a way to work around this, since they cant manage to do proper build up play due to the pressuring beeing aweful, they sit back defensivly..... get the ball and HURLS it forward using lob through passes hoping to catch a fast forward, or even better, catch a defender who barely gets a foot on it and well..... this causing him to loose pace you can just run your forward next to him and snatch the ball he nicely brought down for you.
Shooting also takes longer to do now, the shot motion is slowed down where he actually brings his foot back properly to power a shot (love this btw), but the sad thing here again... the pressuring, you cant make animations slower and then bring the pressure up to this level, getting a shot of (even at a bad angle) is unrealisticly hard.
I know people will argue against this and defend EA, but you all know that FIFA went for realistic this year right?
Sit down and watch a football match, is the player constantly under pressure with no time to ... say.... move the ball around a bit and spot a teammate? or if he dribles someone does he have the next defender on him instantly?
No..... no no no! that is not realistic.
I also feel like the control is a bit... .well.... sluggish? - I dunno if this is due to server lag or whatever (im pretty sure its not my Internet, as I have decent knowledge of these things), I just feel like the players im controlling arent reacting properly.
I wish they took some of the awesome things from Fifa WC2010 (which btw was an AWEEEESOME GAME!) and implemented it in this, the freedom on the pitch was far superior to any football game... period, you could score goals in so many ways due to this, in fifa 11 theres the crosser and header, the lucky through ball one on one and the occasional shot within the box from a rebound or something.
I see so many discussions of whether or not you should dump Fifa and go to PES, I will tell you this, I will never go PES, I DO not like the pes franchise, never have. Its too arcadish for my likings, i like it realistic.
But i must say that I hope EA will try to fix some of these things i have mentioned + all the bugs that currently exists in the game.... like the offside bug, where you get blown of for offside when the ball reciever isnt really in offside, but some * on the other side ofthe pitch is.|||"Ohhhhh, you must be a ping pong player. This is REAL football. Go play PES".|||It is the 3rd best football game (after ISS and FIFA o of all time and in the top 10 sports games of all time
edit fifa 2k8, why has it got that stupid face?|||When I was watching Match of the Day the other weekend I thought the same thing about pressure, people have the time to stop and think about where they want to pass it in real life. In FIFA the second you get the ball you have one or two defenders charging at you and it just doesn't seem very realistic.
Still a huge improvement from the last two versions (09,10)|||I like this game better than 10, didn't have WC but I played the demo and wish they would have kept directional chest traps.
Stamina with 4.5 to 5 star teams is exaggerated with they never tire. If I play with lower skilled teams there's a lot more space on the pitch. And because of overpowered standing tackles it allows people to play ultra aggressive, I concede more goals because of amazing tackling abilities than anything else
Off the ball AI needs drastic improvements, if my opponent is playing aggressive they never take advantage of open space. I love how EA have given players work rates, you get a little better movement. But when you create formations you can't assign players tasks for ex. deep lying playmaker like a Pirlo. YOu can't alter the positional zone area, not all wingers cover the same area
