I get that realism isn't the goal (nice) but it's frustrating to me that the players felt slow like they're running through a peat bog and the keeper can't kick the ball :) But you're right, I haven't spent more than an hour with any of the games since '99 (most recently FIFA '16 came with my PS4) so I'm definitely not very skilled at all!
