Re: FIFA 16 Demo Available Now For Xbox 360, Xbox One, Later Today For PS3, PS4, PC

As someone who has been playing massive amounts of 15 lately, I can really see the differences right out the gate in this demo.

So first thing I noticed is how smoother the game feels. Players just feel better. Animations are smoother. Less clunky collision animations. Players seem to move around more smoothly with less jerky movements.

I also my cpu team mates running for lose balls and not backing away just letting the other team get them. Love that. So much.

I turned the new tutorial thing off because it never showed me anything other than press A to pass. I hope there is more to that. I would like to learn the new no touch dribbling and the other new features.

Also loved at the end of the match how it presented the highlights. Nice touch. Very nice.

In the very first game you play when you load it up, Neymar got a deep lob from the Alves into space on the wing. Neymar skill moved around my defender and had a one on one, placed it in the top right corner. On the default low level settings. Very impressed. You'd never see that in 15.

Also love the new physical animations when players get close. Them auto battling, guys backing off defenders, etc. That is so nice to see.

Man this game wont come out fast enough. I'm not so pumped for this.

Next to add to the OP list is possibly the LB no touch dribble.

I downloaded the xbox one demo at home and got a few games in, came to work where I have a 360 and have played more games here.

LB is not OP on the 360.

But talking with someone who is playing on xbox one they said when you tap LB the CPU defenders back away. He is able to weave through the entire defense just by tapping LB. Basically it repels the defender allowing you to continue on your way.

This does not work at all on 360. You might get by 1 or maybe 2 defenders but they are actively coming at you and the longer you keep the ball to yourself on 360 the more attention you draw.

He told me it was exactly the opposite on xbox one.

I cannot test this until I get home tonight.

I'm playing on X1 currently, on WC, and I am not seeing what your friend is with the LB touches. I'm seeing what you are on the 360. Maybe hes playing on semi-pro? Also thanks for telling me LB was the no touch, I was just about to look that up.

And on the game I started to test this, BVB starts with the ball, takes their time with nice build up, gets to about 36 yards out and Mikhitaryan takes a shot that almost goes in if the keeper doesn't push over the bar. Nice to see some distance shooting by the cpu.

Don't hold LB, just tap it, I believe it's called small no touch dribbling or small touches.

He sent me a vid of him doing it with matuidi of all people, possessor of 2* dribbling skills according to his FUT card.

Okay, taping makes the first guy back away for me. But then after I got past him two others guys ran at me. And I couldn't keep doing it, they took the ball from me with ease. They started to surround me after doing it twice to them. So I'm still thinking its a difficulty setting issue. I'm using Chelsea with Hazard by the way.

EDIT: Or maybe its because the dude is a 2 star skill rating. And CPU doesn't recognize him as being able to do them? I just did it with a 2 star player (Hazard is 4 star), and I got past three guys before I was rushed. Could be a glitch in that.

But also this is old code, this isn't the final product. So if it is a glitch of that nature, hopefully its fixed.

Yeah I hope so too.

He is playing on Pro I think.

I do know several things have been fixed from the beta. So hopefully we see it go beta - decent, demo - good, full game - excellent!

If anyone is fiddling around with some sliders post them! Would love to try some out. Game is great on slow but pass speed is pretty high and a few other niggles. Or make a new thread and post them. I know game is out in two weeks but would be fun just to mess around with some in the meantime!

I actually like it better than men, too bad you only have 2 teams to play with.

I just got home from work delighted to see that the demo is out for PS4 but when I turn on my PS4 and go to the store, it is no where to be found. I see the link and can find it on the website. Maybe I have to wait 15 minutes until 5 to download it?

I really hope in 17 there is a career mode for them. I could totally play like this all the time.

The best game I have had was with the women's teams. A brilliant game of open football. They scored a tremendous goal from 25 yards and were shoots from all angles. Sadly None of the men's games were of the same standard. Real Madrid are so boring, their mess around passing the ball endlessly and never shoot from outside the box.
I'm sorry to say that every men's team I have played have been excessively negative. Chelsea seems to be the most attacking. I have tried playing with the sliders but to no avail. I know today's game is much less open than years gone by but I hope I can get the sliders worked out so the games are more open and free flowing.
But it's only a demo and things should have changed for the full game. EA do seem to be going down a glitzy route though with silly fiddly but twiddling moves to make the players perform unrealistic moves. The trend does seem to be moving the game to a less attacking style. When I did play online or watch matches on twitch no-one ever seems to shoot from outside the box. Everyone seems to want to walk the ball in.
