Yes, I have tried out some of the sliders that people have posted on operation sports. A lot of those sets really try compact the shape of both teams, which may be more realistic, but it discourages runs and makes through balls even less playable.
The biggest difference I've seen is by adjusting the tactical settings for my team. In particular. by switching from organized positioning to free form and upping the settings for things like pass and shot seeking, I'm seeing a lot more movement off the ball by CPU teammates. It has really increased my enjoyment of the game, since I tend to want to use passes to make clever use of space rather than trying to take on defenders on the dribble.
Also, there should be a button you can use to call nearby teammates to make a run when you have the ball at your feet. On PS3 I think it's L1, I'm not sure what it is on Xbox.

If you actually go in to customize the formations to move the player positions around, you can also go in and change the players work rates. IE the CB should play heavy D and light attack, and so on, and so on.

LB for Xbox will trigger runs from the AI teammates. As for fouls, I haven't had a free kick in probably my last 6-7 games, but I have had at least two PK's. Fouls are hard to come by, but PK's happen much more frequently.

That definitely needs to be patched.
A lot of fouls go uncalled. I've even tried to get my guys sent off and can't do it. I've been as reckless or malicious as I've wanted and only got booked twice. As you said though, penalties are plentiful and sometimes get called with only the slightest provocation.

It's infuriating when you're in the attacking third, lose your dribble only to have no call and the opponent spark a counter. The issue is that last year and other versions PK's were hard to come by and fouls in the attacking third happened, not frequently, but much more than I've seen in this installment. I would not at all be surprised if the total PK calls were at or near my free kick chances.
I do think though that it has something to do with the new impact engine. It was advertised to cause the most realistic collisions and impacts, but honestly I feel it's harder to take someone down. I know in the demos they had problems and glitches with exaggeration of the engine, but they may have toned it down too much.

Calmer than you are.
When I first started career mode as just a player, I would try to get a 2 goal lead, and spend the rest of the match trying to get someone suspended for a few games, so the AI manager would change up their line-up and subs a little bit. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.jlb1705;2012114; said:

I've only tried it when the CPU has pissed me off - like when I get around a defender and then they magically warp tackle me just before I enter the penalty area. Whenever that happens I get too pissed to care about the match and I just chase that player around and try to beat the shit out of him.

I'm definitely moving the difficulty up to Professional. I just beat Man Utd. 3-0 in the FA Cup Final. Following TooTall's advice, I switched my formation tactics, and I had players making runs, and creating all kinds of space for me to score the hat trick. I'm not sure that the win got me into Europa, because it didn't get me into the qualifying round, but even if it didn't get me in, I still got a 2 million euro boost to my transfer bufget, and I now have a budget of 3.6 million euros. I only got a 28k euro bump for winning League 2 by 30 points and gaining promotion to League 1. So the FA Cup was definitely worth my time.

Here's my best goal so far using my VP in Career Mode (player/manager)
My guess is its in between 25-30 yards

Remember, LB+A is your friend when passing and sending players who don't normally go on runs.

I've got the OSU bug....I keep opening up leads and then blowing them late 2nd half. I'm playing on World Class
It's very difficult playing with the Crew. But I got rid of a bunch of the scrubs, bought a young fast striker from Salt Lake (can't remember his full name but it's Junior something), and then I also purchased Maurice Edu for the Midfield. IMO, I've got one of the best Midfields in the MLS...Gaven, Ekpo, Edu, and Rogers

Mad props for having the patience to play on World Class... I don't have the patience because the AI plays nearly error free. I'd much rather play online (obviously) where human error is an element to the game.
