You haven't seen FIFA 10 reviews, have you? It's a plethora of refinements over Fifa 09 flaws (MANY of them extremely annoying) that prevented it to be a Triple A football game. Fifa 10 now does almost everything right.
- long passes are a pain, especially from the side into the keepers area, no headers at all
- the refs decisions are sometimes very doubtfull (full bodycheck and nothing happens, little foot touch and you get a yellow card)
- defending is way to easy, simply press the button at the right time and you got the ball, which makes attacking very frustating on the other hand
- very hard to plan your plays on the field, cuz 3 defenders are running towards you and can steal the ball so easily
All in all I think that if I wouldnt have read an article about the new game mechanics, i wouldnt notice them in game.
As said this is just my subjective opinion, but the gameplay feels strange somehow.
You should pass more often. Your third and fourth concern could be avoided this way. In a real football match you also barely ever see an attacker dribble through 3 or even 1 defender.
And also make sure to check your controls. Maybe you played with assistedlong passes in the demo or something...
The referee is very very annoying and I've only played for a couple of hours. =/
But I like a lot of the new implemented animations and the ball physique. The graphics are getting better also.
