    Checked last night and I’ve only got Volta and Kick Off. Genuinely don’t think I can be bothered to download it for that.

    If I can get on tonight (which I doubt given they'll have surely underestimated the server demands) I'll play it for 4/5 hours and give my thoughts.

    I doubt I'll touch Volta all year, just doesn't interest me.

    I've been unable to use the companion app all through '19 as no matter which of my emails I use to log in, it tells me I have no active account in game. Checked the very first email address I used to sign up to FIFA way back in the day and there it was.

    Is the FUT part actually playable in the beta or more of a tour of what's available in the full game?

    I can't get into the FUT section without being insta-booted. However my thoughts from kick off:


    - Passing seems much improved. Players seem to be able to better decide if the ball should go inside, or outside the full back for example. Your more gifted players are more able to get the weight of the pass spot on.

    - Player animations seem more fluid. For example, if a pass is slightly behind your player they can bring it under control without having to stop dead or face the other way. It may go slightly ahead of them, but it makes much more sense to continue the momentum, than stop dead in the tracks.

    - Finishing seems more sensible. You're not banging in 35 yard volleys with your back to goal with Blanc on this one. Whereas get Salah into the box and you can tuck away reliably. You don't have to use the same finish each time either.

    - General play is rewarded. The idea of the game seems to be to using passing or the odd skill move to break open a defence and get into the box. La Croqueta spam is gone. You might get 2 off but every time after the ball is getting further out of control. Though this did score me a goal. A miscontrol after a 2nd Croqueta actually went into space behind the defender and Salah got it first to bury it.
    I feel like a 4-3-3 with 1 DM may be popular this year.

    - Defending seems to give you a choice. No longer can you just put the controller down and let the AI do it. You either sit and hold your shape, which if you do it well, will work. Or you can press the ball. The key point here is by doing the latter, or being bad at the former, you pull players out of position. Add that to everything I've mentioned above and your opponent can tear you up.

    - Speed also seems to have been fixed. I sent Salah in behind Aurier from the halfway line. Even with Salah having the ball from about 40 yards out, Aurier could not catch him.

    Ah-fucking-men for the last one.

    is it likley do you reckon Fox that 11 men behind the ball and countering won't be anywhere near as effective this year?

    The more I think about FIFA19 it was such a steaming pile of shit to play. Easily the least enjoyable since I've got back into the series.

    FUT always plays differently to kick off mode, so it's hard to tell. But it's not as easy as pinging one ball in behind now.

    It will still be effective to some. I mean teams wouldn't do it so much in real life if it didn't. But you're now requiring the opponent to keep in their shape and then play out when they get the ball back.

    Got in first time.

    I know the pack weight is enhanced for the beta, but this might a good time to road test a pack only game.

    EDIT: Scrap that, just got booted from the starter pack choice screen.

    Some thoughts:

    The way the squad battles rewards are displayed is so dumb.
    The milestone objectives are rubbish, no one is going to score 100 bicycle kicks without just whacking it on easy thus defeating the point. The rest of the objectives look very good and open up some sweet possibilities.
    The pack opening animation is like something out of Brass Eye. Which might not be a bad thing.
    Went into Squad Battles and played the hardest team from the four on Professional difficulty. Game feels a bit ponderous and controlling the ball odd, but that might be due to the sheer number of bronze shit in my team.
    No idea what I'm doing with pens.

    Yes, I don't like that you can't just switch to the next slot with R2/L2 anymore.

    I don’t like the squad/players UI’s one bit. As long as the app is decent it’s fine though as I do 90% of my squad building and management on there

    There’s 250k coins rewarded for 100 finesse goals ffs. That’s Maybe 10 squad battles on amateur for finesse, more for chips but i’ve Scored 4 of those just in the two games I’ve played.

    Finally got in. England starter pack. Jack Cork being my feaured player. Aguero as my loan.

    Going through the menu and the objs it feels very slow. Andreas Pereira in my first pack filling in a hole in my side!

    I had a freekick early on and the icons for freekicks stuck over his Andreas Pereira's head for a while. It then moved to my keeper and then anyone peforming a 'restart' (goal kicks, throw-in etc)

    I packed Malcolm and not much else from that. A couple of prem players so I now have a full prem team.

    Game feels a lot slower. Although, as someone noted above, I am not sure if its just the shit players.
