Firts frosbyte to be 1080 on XBO??

If true, I think so.

Demo is available. Huge graphics upgrade. The players actually move kind of different. Controls are essentially the same, but you can shoot low by pressing the shoot button a second time. There is also a threaded through-ball which is RB/R1 + through ball. Seems deadly. Going to be hard to defend online.

I think gameplay on xbox one is 1080p, but in the cutscenes the aliasing kicks in, so it's definitely lower.

What in the world ... the cutscenes are real time for sure, because if you pause one of them the players clothing will move as if they've stopped suddenly. Lol. So weird to see. It's like you're actually freezing time.

Some tips: To get both the new shielding mechanic and face-up dribbling to work, you have to let go of the left stick, then press the appropriate trigger(s) and then start moving.

The game plays great. It's similar, but I can't quite put my finger on what feels different. I don't know if the animations have all been tweaked, or if it's changes to the physics, but the movement feels familiar but just different enough to make me notice.

The presentation took a huge leap. I've been playing a lot of FIFA 16 later, and if you put them side by side it's night and day.
