Although many resent the new defensive system, it is still in my opinion a big step forward. In the old versions of the game was actually "played" only on the offense, in the Defensove only Tacklingknopf was held down and wait until you get back in possession.
With the new system we now have to go to the defensive work, how to do it in the offensive anyway with the same ambition and the same concentration. This requires above all patience, which does not seem to have many Fifa 12 players. Often simply has to be moved only on the defensive behind the ball, then either too early with a player to naturally open up gaps ...
Thus, the game has become quite simply much more demanding, but reality Verna cians as suits me.
On the subject of getting used to: In the beginning I had a lot of problems similar to those described herein.
Meanwhile, I'm playing on Legend and get in a Saision always around 20 goals conceded. So it's definitely mäglich good defending and vir all, it is fun !!

OFFENSIVE KI
The criticisms of the offensive AI I can connect me, however. Here you can but with the corresponding button "send players" and manage well even with double passports.
In addition, the tactical options are not particularly outstanding and not yet optimally implemented in the actual gameplay.

Jugendakademie & player development (Manager Mode)
As a final point of criticism I must lead the youth academy in Manager Mode, which is essentiel from the idea of course great, especially for a good career mode!
However, the talent discovery is far too sterile. It can be assumed that the player found the beginning always max. ~ Have 70 GES. It would be nice with a very Scouting department (bullet point "Marcia" (Barcelona)) to obtain exceptional talents with slightly higher initial GES, though very rarely. This "GES-Cut" upwards should be removed.
In this context is also to mention that the player development (not only in talent) is not yet mature and always takes place according to the same pattern. Here and there, larger leaps upward and downward would be nice.
For this reason, the Manager Mode also works! Unfortunately, not long-term.
After a few seasons all the good players (GES> 80) are well above 30 (and will not be great bad) and among the games under 25 is hardly a player with GES> 70th
It is necessary to work definitely !!

CONCLUSION
The game is despite criticism a grandiose football simulation and also the Manager mode makes despite the shortcomings mentioned a lot of fun !! =)
