I've played about 30 games and I've noticed that the CPU rarely fouls.  I can play multiple games without being fouled at all.  When I do get fouled it is usually outside of scoring range.  I can only recall a handful of free kicks that I've taken in scoring positions.  Either CPU defenses are extremely disciplined, or it's an issue in the game.  It makes the game much less realistic.  I'd really like to test out the new free kick and penalty techniques in game, but I've hardly had the opportunity.  I've noticed this issue in previous FIFAs, but not to this extent.
