Agreed on both counts DD.
Shooting outside the area on FIFA is only really worthwhile with the better players, eg Gerrard. 99% of goals have to be scored from in the area which makes the game more difficult and (sometimes) boring as the build up needs to be poatient.
Crossing from open play is ok i think, i've scored a fair few goals that way. That is if you can keep the ball long enough to get down the wings. The best way i've found is to play a lofted through ball to a pacey winger.
The variation of play on FIFA is better, with posession being very important. Even though the build up on PES is quicker and more exciting, it does feel a little 'superficial' in comparison to FIFA.
Some of the pass selections are rather random and nothing like you wanted when you pressed the button. Also, whether a pass is under/over-hit only really depends on the player's ability and their balance/technique. Most of the time, all that you have to do is face the way you want to play then tap 'pass' in order to hit an inch perfect pass. FIFA makes you do a little more with the option to choose the shot power and relies on your ability to see a player's run.
So to summarise that little bit, PES is faster and more exciting but FIFA is more delicate and requires a good football brain.
