       So are you saying that if you use manual switching you'll be
       alright... otherwise you're screwed?

       Agree with Clrx here. Have had some weird changes and LB mashing
       doesn't work effectively. I think my switching is still on 'high
       balls only' and it's still clunky.

       First release is generally to an area where they will generate
       enough load to start to test out the code on gear, but not
       enough to completely blitz a system.

       As someone said, they go for between about 400-700, even for the
       really bad ones! Normally from the afternoon the cup starts and
       the day after that. Any longer and people start to sell and the
       market is flooded. Also remember to keep the Northern Ireland
       ones as well.
       In A few months we'll see what's what with prices, and clean up
       come March!

       I wouldn't go that far.  IMO manual switching has always kinda
       had an advantage, it is more pronounced this year IMO.  From
       what I am getting in the game, so far, is that EA took the whole
       "anti-contain" thing to heart and went the extreme opposite,
       where "do it yourself" defenders will have some advantage.
       on a completely unrelated note, I have found skill moves to be
       far easier to pull off this year against opponents since they
       removed a lot of the cheese auto-defending features.  Chops and
       heel clicks are very useful.  I do not like that they removed
       the "right stick direction" to push the ball out in front of
       you.

       So when you say the anti-contain thing, do you mean there is no
       contain?
       That being the case, I am so screwed.

       One of the key mistakes to make this year in defending, is
       storming in. Momentum - in the true sense plays a big role (Noun
       - The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product
       of its mass and velocity. / The impetus gained by a moving
       object. )
       Your player doesn't stop on a dime - this is why I believe slow
       CBs will be quite effective as they just cannot storm forward
       like a 77-81 paced player. Those 1.9m tall behemoths with pace
       are being caught out getting way too quickly to the attacker.
       Controlled dribbling (LT) will easily get past that.
