There are 2 things that stick out for me as drastically different in 2014 when compared to 2013.
1) My players get dispossessed a lot and very easily when they have the ball, even when using deft touch dribbling to maintain control. I don't expect to hang onto the ball forever, but it seems like a defender just has to be near me to take the ball away. Is anyone else experiencing this?
2) Through balls. I don't use the advanced passing, its way too complicated. In 2013 a through ball seemed to be passed to the proper open space for my teammate to run onto, but in 2014 the balls are passed closer to a defending player than it is open space and the passes get cut out.
Both of these are really throwing off my game. I've played a whole season as Schalke and I still don't feel like I'm really in control. Overall the game feels more realistic, but I also feel like I can only do quick short passes up the field without letting a player dribble. I get pounced on immediately and the ball gets taken away.
Is it just me with these things? In 2013 I played the highest difficulty level and could score 3-6 goals a game easily. In 2014 I'm thankful for 2 goals at the medium difficulty level :/
