Straight to the chase, I'm all for having full control of everything in a football game, but there are also moments where I don't wish to delve into a learning circle and pull myself up many steps. With that in mind, I admit to not being too familiar with the "Manual" setup in Fifa. I choose to have my Shooting, Passing and Crossing all set to "Semi-Assisted". Now, I'm certainly interested in switching to "Manual", as I've now read so many positive comments about how it improves the game, now only from an enjoyment point of view, but also one which delivers satisfaction.
Apparently it takes quite a while to get used to it all. I think this is my problem, as although I have a pretty long fuse for patience, I don't want to be spraying passes to the opposition, or firing shots at the corner flag. Just how long does it take to become accustomed to manual controls, and is it better just having one or two fields set to manual, and perhaps the others set to assisted?
Will be interesting to see what others are using, but I'll definitely be giving manual controls more of a look in this time around ...

When you're playing online this year, if you want to apply the controller filter (i.e. so you don't have to play fully-assisted knobs people all the time), you've only got three choices.
MANUAL - Everything set to manual
ASSISTED - Everything set to assisted
SEMI-ASSISTED - Semi shooting, semi passing, semi crossing, manual through-passes, assisted lobbing
