No, it is pretty forgiving. On the default difficulty levels, simply pick a good team like Brazil/Argentina/France/England and learn to use the through pass, whcih takes maybe 2 or 3 games to do; then voila - Adriano/Crespo/Henry/Rooney will be on the board in no time.
I have gotten much better, but the Live lobbies for EA absolutely suck for hooking up. I will be happy to hook up with anyone who wants to play. The game is great, especially once you learn some nuances. Sam, I agree winning 11 is the best. But, this is not bad. DD
Not even close. Winning Eleven is the best soccer game. You feel you are playing real soccer. Fifa is pingball match.
