The real power of this game lies in its multiplayer capabilities. However, EA (or some programmer) needs to create a patch before it is deemed a classic. Make it possible to disable the In Game Tactics...I hate the idea of someone pressing a button and all his players chase you like chickens with their heads cut off. Get rid of the in-games tactics, especially the "attacking press" feature.

You make a good point about the multiplayer aspect of the game... I think multiplayer setups should be flexible in selecting certain parameters because there's always a weakness in any game that players will exploit, which takes the fun out of it. But chances are, this isn't something EA would easily be able to add, or be willing to.

On the other hand, if EA thought things through, there should be a way to counteract a tactic like that... would lobbing the ball away relieve the pressure? Maybe a couple of lobs would eventually tire the players out??
