Could have been worse, some are quite funny but not too bad (Benayoun 79 yet Oscar is only one better and marin is one worse... ?) ... Mata and Hazard our best players ratings wise... Don't know why cech has gone down, unless its due to the euros which would be BS...

[Melanicus 5,208]

@, Yeah it' weird about Oscar, but I think his rating will jump up in January update. Cech will still be the best goalkeeper by ratings in Premier League.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Luiz, Cahill and Ramires got shafted.

[cfc93 3]

The thing that frustrates me the most with Fifa is the defensive back lines for a start. Again this year it sounds like no one at fifa has clocked on to the fact cpu and our defenders persist on standing in a line just inside their own half, leaving with one simple through ball and you've got 30 yards to dash in and finesse it past the keeper. Simply put, the majority of goals i seem to score are reminiscent of Torres at the nou camp. I do play manager mode most though. anyone else find this?? frustrates me so bad, the games i play in are usually consisting of 5 or 6 goals between both teams as a result of the defensive lines. Also, through balls and passing last year nearly made me throw the disc out the window on several occasions. The power on the passes is rediculous! Virtually non existent. And the last thing for my two cents, the fact the stands are so far away from the goals at the majority of grounds it just looks plain stupid. Old Trafford is perfect but besides that i laugh to myself everytime.

[Billy. 2,742]

They are shit if true!

[DDA 9,691]

Those ratings are fucking ridiculous.. Luiz 79? Benayoun is one better than Sturridge?

Looks like I will spend yet another season using Napoli to whip everyone online with.

[Term-X 7,891]

Zero Chelsea in that trailer.. thanks to Chelsea scrapping EA as a platinum partner.

Smh, what makes it even worse, is the focus on Man-City.

[Mathewe 65]

Cahill making a clearing header = zero Chelsea?

[Term-X 7,891]

Cahill making a clearing header = zero Chelsea?

Compare that to Man-City though..

EA make us look like a second division club the way they treat us, hardly on the trailer, not on the demo. Last season they were our platinum partners ffs, Gourlay fucked up with that one.

[Mathewe 65]

Yeah I would agree on that one. I just hope the god awful faces for Mata + Hazard etc have been updated. Cahill seems to have a face (from what I can make out from the terrible angle) so I'm hopeful, but you never know...

[Melanicus 5,208]

Where can I pre-order Ultimate edition for PC?

[termninja 5,290]

Fuck, we are probably not in the demo! City, Arsenal, Juventus, Milan and Dortmund...

fucking Arsenal...

Here's some gamescom gameplay from KSI and some other guys

[Term-X 7,891]

Why are Arsenal in the demo, and not the champions of England... the runners up.. OR MAYBE EVEN THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE?

Check out the Arsenal official site, EA are listed as 'partners/sponsors', the same goes for Man-City. EA used to be partners with us as well, until Gourlay fucked that up.

I feel you buddy

Oh and demo matches will be played on Etihad again probably...

[Tomo 21,733]

I can only ever play with Chelsea on fifa.

I get too bored too quick with other teams.
