So haven’t played this game in a while,been playing 16/17 a lot instead.
But after watching Matts little venture in South America it got me thinking,that gameplay looked amazing,pretty much the opposite to what I’ve had with FIFA 18.
I decided to play a few games on one of my career saves just to test out a few values.
What I don’t like with Fifa 18 is three things.
1 frantic and direct gameplay
2 no fouls ( or ow foul count to be honest)
3 a bit to easy
So I played vs City (me Bournemouth) 15 min WC,semi everything,custom camera.
OP sliders.
That game was just how I remember fifa 18,up and down the pitch for 90 min,no build up at all.
Yet surprisingly easy to exploit cpu defence,low freekick count as well
Game two vs Utd at home.
I made a few changes in the slider setup
Pass speed 42/42 first touch 100/100,sprint 45/45 all other settings as previous game
This game became more sloppy,and Utd had a slower build up than previous game vs City,got 5 freekicks and it felt really good,cpu played really well,loads of build up,but still to easy to exploit the cpu defence,and also first touch error at 100 for user s very tricky,like handling a soap.
1-1some good stats in shooting and passing/freekicks
Game 3,I went back (didn’t save) to my City game.
Changed first touch to 80/100 and sprint to 45/48 again
City played much more possession football than in game one.
Only issue is the crappy defending,way to easy to exploit
Had a 1-0 lead early on.
So I needed to re think this concept
Made these changes.
Pass speed back to OP (48/48) but what turned this around was going back to broadcast cam again.
The game just came alive,freekicks,had three shooting chances after changing to broadcast cam,also the physicality came back with a lose ball at 80/100 first touch error,plus not as easy to exploit cpu defending with this camera since the game slows down
I lost that game 3-1 btw
I had probably my best game on Fifa 18,wouldn’t recommend first touch at 80/100 if your playing outside the PL,but I do feel that the PL is very souped up vs other leagues,might be wrong,but that’s how I feel anyway
Sorry for the long post,thought I’d share some of my findings/thoughts.
My mission was to make WC a bit more competitive again,and the cpu play more possession football again
Long description short.
OP sliders,but First touch 80/100 and broadcast cam,WC ,semi,15 min
And yes Matt ,you should have scored against the leagues worst team mate
