FIFA 16 Gameplay and FUT Draft Videos From Gamescom

Re: First Actual Gameplay Video Of FIFA 16 Gamescom 2015

It looked tremendous, I was really pleased with what I saw. It seemed like all of the faults we worked so hard to correct last year were fixed and then some. I was really happy to see the defenders working together to close off space in the danger areas.

IDK, around the 16:20 mark the Chelsea guy has Costa bearing down on the Barca goal. He's (Costa) not charging head down and Barca's backline and CDM are backing off. Mascherano tracks Willian's run (which is good) until he isn't a threat any more but Pique and Busquets back off and ultimately block his shot.

Apart from that instance defenders were really engaged and trying to cut off lanes and block shots/passes. Really made a difference in terms of creating chances which has been far too easy in FIFA for far too long. Pretty solid first video. A LOT of good things in there.

Damn, haven't been impressed like this by one of these videos in forever. Not that impressed by the PES videos, but I'll get both (despite hating what both are doing with exclusive licensing). FIFA looks to have an advantage so far.

PES looks more or less the same as last year, on the pitch at least and for me that's a disappointment. FIFA on the other hand chose to fix it faults by using sound football fundamentals, and improving the footballing logic. I am well and truly impressed. NGB gave PES it's sports game of the show, and I strongly disagree with that, FIFA for me looks by far the better game, from a footballing standpoint.

No idea why you're getting excited. The first video just displays the major problem with FIFA. It's a sprinting fest, sprinting around like a headless chicken goes unpunished and I hate it. I truly hope the defending is as good as it looks in the videos so I won't have to sprint my players back to their position because the CPU keeps making them wander off. It also looks WAY too fast. Say what you will about PES but the pace is spot on there. Although in the second video the pace of the game looks closer to real life. It might still have to be slowed down though. What bothers me in FIFA is that there's no way to walk with the ball, it immideatly throws you into this jogging animation which is way too fast too. One positive is that the CPU didn't seem to run in circles anymore, although this might be different on legendary. I want to see a full game with a competent player (someone who doesn't sprint all of his players outof position chasing the ball like a pitbull) against legendary CPU with game speed set on slow.

The PES videos so far have looked more arcadey than FIFA in terms of pace. The human vs human videos have been painful to watch.

Very disappointed as I was looking to buy PES for the first time.

FIFA just looks like the more complete product. And I know fouls will be called.

In PES, you can only hope.

I thought the same thing when I saw Matt post earlier

I'll reserve judgment until I get my hands on the game. Just because a game looks good doesn't mean it plays good. I need to have my hands on a controller to see if the button response is there, smoothness, tightness, etc Really looking forward to trying the demo as the last Fifia I played religiously was 09' during my University years.

I'm not 100% on this but it's something I remember hearing a while ago when a video I saw made PES look too fast. It can be something to do with the game only being shown at 30fps when it's actually 60fps. You're seeing two frames of the game for every one in the video if that makes sense. I'm not sure that's actually what causes it and someone more technical may refute this. All I know is that I heard that games that are natively 60fps (both PES and FIFA) will look faster than they actually are when shown in a 30fps video.

I also think FIFA is always way too fast but I've heard from a few people that the game speed is much better this year. Whether it's slow enough for me, I don't know, but I've heard the right people saying it's 'spot on'.

Didn't notice much of a difference other than the defender closing down a little bit better. Still looked to ping-pong for me. It's hard to tell how the CPU is in a man to man match however. I did like the fact that the rush clearances from the defender's didn't go right to a teammate.

The ping-pong feeling is there sometimes because they are not playing in manual and I am pretty sure they are passing incorrectly because they are using the new "passing with purpose" feature each and everytime. I can't understand why they show these videos with such horrible players, it doesn't do them any favor.

Re: First Actual Gameplay Video Of FIFA 16 Gamescom 2015

Yeah when you start to play all manual it's hard to go back. If FUT was all manual I'd probably play it more. I think all manual is easier on PES actually.

Yeah, I don't guy why they don't release footage with people on the dev team playing against each other or the CPU. Then we could actually see what the game is capable of. Every year it's these casual/arcade players getting first crack.

Because none of the people they are marketing to play on full manual or a sim-style. They are focusing on the majority of their market which is the tournament and FUT crowd.

Since the inclusion of the speed setting, and especially sliders a few years ago, I no longer worry about FIFA coming off as too fast, as we finally have the ability to slow it down to fit our tastes.

Re: First Actual Gameplay Video Of FIFA 16 Gamescom 2015

The only thing that is making it fast is the pass speed and acceleration - maybe pass accuracy.

Like others have said though, we'll judge it more OS-like when we get to see some P1 v CPU action!

edit: P1 v CPU World Class/Legendary action!
