To be honest i'm fed up of having to talk about was this or that a pen rather than actual play on the pitch
Faster players and game? I suspect it's this, even the best defenders in the game have trouble containing fast players, especially when you also consider the game is more attack focused now meaning defenders are further up-field and more susceptible to breaks.
