Played it all of this evening. Early impressions are that...
Dribbling's better (much better).
Heading's better (in that players you'd expect to win the ball generally do i think).
Passing's worse (too sluggish, and the lofted through ball's awful now).
Shooting's probably a bit better.
You still run alongside the ball too much and have to use super cancel.
The 'quick freekick' option would have been a great addition had it have actually meant something - in mine I pressed it and took it 'quickly', and they had a three man wall

Presentation is, as ever, pretty bad.
Lack of licensed teams is actually a bit rubbish.
