I've found that the anims in fifa 2003 are very realistic, but it's when it is used is what annoys me. For example, you lose the ball and need to spin around...FAST. What happens? The player does this fake and goes the oposite direction, then he turns around. Very annoying. Then at other times, I'll be at full galop running towards goal, the defender catches up with me and is about to steal the ball. I need to turn away to avoid the tackle so I press the right arrow button to try to avoid this, but the player takes so long to react, the defender just takes the ball off my feet. I really hope EA irons out this.

thats how it is. EA made it like that so that you cannot just beat defenders easily. the game will be useless if you can just outrun defenders, dont you think?

you've got to wait until you reach the ball till u can turn, theres no point try'n to turn if the ball is kicked ahead of you.its added realism, though maybe could be tweaked a bit better but what can i say my graphics card isnt supportedso cant see it clearly anyway.
