I know before scoring goals through the middle with fast players was the only way to score efficiently but now its impossible... Players like Torres, Owen, Ronaldo and Theo Walcott should out pace defenders easily... They have lowered the agility of all players so its impossilbe to move around defenders... And what is with defenders having the ablility to rugby tackle players off the ball and not get called for it... Its a joke... anyway i was just venting so im done b****in about this game....
Scoring via outpacing the defense needed is a relatively skillless way to score and in my opinion was due to be nerfed. If that's how you play your football then shame on you. Work on your short passes, crossing and also through balls - not just one thing. That's how it is in real life and that's how EA should strive to make it. If you feel like you can't score work on your tactics and other methods of attack.

I do however agree with you on the tackling. I've posted elsewhere about slide tackles which completely miss the ball and knock my player off his feet and receive no call from the referee. Also I have posted about the "rugby" tackles you are describing - my player gets manual "tackled" off the ball (knocked completely over from behind) in his own box only to see play continue.
