I think what JC83 is trying to point out (sorry if I'm wrong JC
), is that the gameplay development is being slightly neglected (in favour of new modes & gimmicks) which is resulting in holes in the gameplay.
This allows people that know nout about football to use the same tactic over & over, winning games in the process.
If EA work their arses off to create truly realistic gameplay, then the knowledgable football fans will always triumph over players who try cheap tactics.
