Sorry youre right. 8 hours
Um no, it's super blatant. There's ways to overcome it and switchit round but it's definitely a thing. How can you not feel when your players suddenly start playing like shit?
But the most clear example from my experience is my all gold UT with the best players in the world got absolutely destroyed by a Saudi arabian squad. It was like 5-0 at halftime.
Their tiny shrimps were faster, stronger, better in the air, couldn't be tackled and basically dominated me in every way.
Keep in mind I'm a good player, always in division one and never been relegated since that model was introduced.
Anyway after that I ditched my amazing gold team and made a team of silvers and 75s and I suddenly started beasting much better teams more easily where it was sometimes a battle before.
So having been on both ends, it's definitely some kind of handicap or scripting.
I don't find most expensive players to be that much better than well chosen non rare golds, and I have been beaten many times by players a lot worse than me, especially in FIFA 14. I just think we play the game so much that the odd game where it seems like everything is going wrong will occur. I think it's a result of the first touch systems randomness, and passing errors brought on by over confidence.
Momentum might exist, if I feel a game is going south, I'll pass the ball around and keep possession for a bit, probably a placebo, but I feel like it boosts your players confidence, or something.
But I don't think I'm getting handicapped.
P.S. Saudis are ridiculous at this game, I'm scared to play them. Avoid late night games! Slight lag can play a big part too.

quiche pls, throwing all dat money at FIFA when you only need the PC version
i'm not very clever haha. I have the PS4 version to play with some friends then get the XB1 version for UT and other gaffers and then the main version is my PC one which I play clubs on!
Yeah, new PES has that one more match addiction to it. I think it has a much better match engine, but everything else in FIFA is better unless they polished it up since last year. Think I might need both (and not PES in a Steam sale this year)!

Cheapest and earliest combined.
India is cheaper but it releases on the 26th along with Europe. Hong Kong seems to release along side North America.
I'd rathet pay a couple £ more to play 3 days earlier.

I like that PES is now an arcade counterpart to FIFA. I don't enjoy it as much as fifa but at least it's fun this time around.
All it needs now is for a graphics overhaul, better Ui and we will have two fantastic football games every year.

Opinions and all but this post is so full of flaws...
FIFA is indeed more arcady and we dont need to talk about the visuals. The whole lighting, level of detail and player ID is worse than PES. The UI is absolute shit, but visually and from the gameplay, FIFA is inferior this time.

Yes, Fifa is indeed much more polished and it's a more finished package but the AI were always the main problem for me. Fifa is amazing to play online against friends and full manual controls but playing against the CPU is really boring. Last year the games was less painful against the AI using sliders but i still could not play more than 3 games in a row before get bored.
In the other hand, PES is much more enjoyable to play alone and i can easily play 10 games in a row on the PES2015 demo.

I pretty much only play FIFA now. All my friends play across all the systems so I buy all 3 at the cheapest price.
Quiche a man for all console's!

No way FIFA is more arcade. PES demo reminds me of the 90s arcades machines. You already said last year that PES 2014 lag was to emulate real football... FIFA is so superior in gameplay, graphics, animations...that there is no contest really. Another thing is this year´s PES 2015 will be at last playable.

That sounds right if you live in Europe.

Out on friday, but that PES demo has put a major doubt in my head for the first time in 7-8 years!
PES just feels more tactically aware and feels more like real football, and is more fun than Fifa. The problem is the long time period between the Fifa and PES releases, which means I will get Fifa and decide later. I hope EA Sports have sorted out the shooting and goalkeepers for the full release as they were a joke in the demo!

Will PES have ultimate team? I heard it would, that is pretty much the only mode I care about in footy games these days.

Spurs forever - love the Dier photoshop!
Apparently so called MyClub. You can even pay real money for specific players rather than card packs.
From what I've seen, the shooting in early access was still stupid as hell. Smashing the ball into the goal was near impossible, it always ended up wide.
I had a look at our ratings back in FIFA 12. I wanted to cry, that squad was incredible.

Not when you are Messi 1v1 against the keeper... Finesse shots go in 10 times out of 10 while regular shots miss 5 out of 10. Just doesn't seem right to me. But I haven't played the full game myself so I shouldn't be judging it yet, it just looks like that watching on youtube.

It hasn't changed since the demo unfortunately, it just seems so random as to where a shot will end up even if you shoot the same way from the same spot each time.

Pro Evo gives a sense of control and power when you shoot, but on Fifa it just seems random, but this has ALWAYS been the FIFA WAY.
Fifa gets so many things right and no doubt the online play will beat Konami's offering, but for pure single player gaming, Pro Evo seems to be the one to get this year. I may even just get both, although dedicating time to learning 2 football games is a bit OTT, especially with so many other games releases this year.

Day 1 update on consoles
Goalkeeper and AI Positioning optimized - Day One purchase!

Who's to know if it's any good. I agree, I'm still getting it. But if you were actually basing your purchase of this game on the goalkeepers being "fixed". I wouldn't trust it just cause they did some "optimizations" to their AI. Who knows how comprehensive it was until it's played.

Yep! NeoGAF PC Pro Club made!
