Yeah, I just got my (legitimate, haha) GameStop 20% off pre-owned birthday coupon email today, and it doesn't expire until 11/30/15. I'm going to take that as a sign that I should wait a month and buy the game used like I did last year. Literally, the most enjoyable thing about the game is just playing with you guys and having a laugh. But the gameplay is mostly still shit. I'm not going to reward EA for that.
There are improvements, but when you can just run into the goalie and push him out of the crease to score, you have a broken game. I'd say "oh, maybe they'll tune penalties for the full version", but yeah right. When have they ever done that?
I'm also uncertain how the player classes are going to go. I know they supposedly made all classes have the same speed for the beta, and on paper, that seems like a fair idea. But my speedy playmaker build in 14 got knocked on his ass all the time. I'd rather see that than see the "everybody is the same" type of balance. Each class needs clearly defined pros and cons that can't be circumvented by bullshit tactics. It feels like I'm skating in quicksand in 16 sometimes.
