In terms of gameplay, free kicks, penalties, corners and and throw-ins look different compare to previous FIFA title. In the new game, there's no more right or left indicator during penalty kicks. During corners, there's a ball indicator which players have to move before a kick. In addition, by holding the X button longer, players will launch a stronger kick, as per reports from Windows Central.
The game also provides better active intelligence system. In the previous version of FIFA, there's a lack of clever off-ball movement. Now, players can use new run types like direct runs and dummy runs to set-up game-winning goals.
