My past three games on Fifa have been commentated by Clive and Andy. Is it a permanent change or what?

I dunno, there have always been 2 sets of commentators on it, it's not a late change they've done via an update or anything.

Is there no pattern to it ,like different commentators for different competions whe playing career mode?

It's on FUT. I've been playing random sides, but it started when I played PSV.

I've never known Clive Tyldesley to be on Fifa, I've known him to be on the world cup games, but never the seasonal Fifa games. Either way, they keep on commentating after I pause it.

EA Sports have paid Leeds Utd 10 grand for them to appear on the front cover, a few other teams have done this too. You can buy the Leeds front cover from the club shop and some copies of the game already have the Leeds cover on too. Not a bad idea!

They commentated on my league cup game whereas Alan Smith and Martin Tyler commentate on my league games.

On Fifa, like when you're running down the wing. The AI always does it to me, basically changes direction instantly and loses his marker.

Have you tried doing the fake? Where you go to shoot/cross and then hit X and fake into another direction?

I've found the control to be better. I'm now starting to find semi-pro really easy, which is obvious, so I'll up it tonight. However, if it instantly turns to God mode like the last few versions, I won't bother as I can't stand it when I'm forced to play the same way, I like to enjoy it.

FIFA is far better this year from the bits I've played. The defending is far, far better, the improvement is remarkable. It is challenging but so rewarding if you do the right things and stay patient.

The attacking is also far more varied, the AI seem to change how they defend as the game goes on and there finally seems to be some context awareness. If you are leading the AI will try to push on and attack and leave itself open. The dribbling on the game is just brilliant. It's so much more realistic this year, if you've got a mismatch in speed, it's exploitable. It's such a buzz standing a fullback up with step overs or a ball roll as Royston Drenthe before knocking it past him and running onto it. The double knock on is a great addition this year (I presume it's new as I'd never seen it before).

But the difficulty have been ramped up. I was playing 11 on legendary, but I've only just started winning on professional on 12. I tried world class once in a friendly and got truly anhililated by Nottingham Forest.
