In addition to persist testing and adapt to 40/40 Pass Speed, after this video I started to also insist on 15/15 Sprint Speed, policing myself to not exploit wing attacks (which is so frustrating, obviously) and totally ignoring CPU jockey/shuffle, without rage quitting.
I can honestly say, without any doubts, that the speed of all passes are COMPLETELY different from when using 35/35 Sprint Speed.
I'm not even having the feeling of being easy to pass anymore, like as I said multiple times when using higher Pass Speed levels when using both normal speed with 35/35 Sprint Speed or slow speed with 53/53 Sprint Speed.
It's so sad that I will surely be "FIFA forced" to abandon 15/15...
I forgot to answer you a really important thing!
It's absolutely not your fault when you mention not being able to intercept CPU passes. Don't know if it's HyperMotion, FIFA's crappy huge rail mechanics or both, but it's almost impossible to manually intercept their passes, even slow ones, no matter if using a slide tackle or just pressing B/Circle.
It only works when we somehow anticipate when they will pass so that we can slide before even they stay the pass animation.
Don't care if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but maybe it's just another planned thing to make passing so easy in multiplayer matches, in order to increase addiction in 12 years old kids (and even adults) so that they spend literally thousands every single year in Ultimate Team.
They aren't giving a f* to realism. This is not Microsoft Flight Simulator or iRacing. They will never want it to be. Unfortunately.
Sorry for the rant. I hate them!
Edit: Just to clarify. I do know and understand that it's actually difficult to intercept passes in professional football, unless the player evidently do a bad pass, but it shouldn't be almost impossible in FIFA when you are actually near the ball and/or correctly move your player. It's like there's an intentional delay in intercept commands.
