The passing (especially D to D on the point) is extremely sloppy, no matter what build you use. You can't charge down passes like the PS3 games. You can't tie up in front of the net. The builds seem very similar to me, with the biggest differences being the height/weight of the character.
Anyways, I really hope some of these issues will be resolved before the game is released.

I agree with the majority of your points. Passing is terrible, especially as a DFD. I also get a bit of input lag, but that varies game to game.
I don't know if I agree with the pokecheck though. I find that as a DFD, it's a very useful tool. Even when playing as a two way defender, the improvement to the stick that the DFD has is very noticeable.
I do think that they need to improve the passing and the responsiveness of the players.
I really enjoyed playing withe the Fatas during the beta - hope to play some more with you guys when the full game comes out.
