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

Had a quick play last night on the pc when I got in from work. I liked what I saw from the 2 games I played. One question.... I have only ever had fifa on consoles. Is the game exactly the same on pc as next gen consoles?

Curved corners are there. Maybe not sooo curved as in 15, but are definitely there, just use diretion while filling the power bar.

About the demo, played about 10 matches yesterday against a friend. It felt awesome, very balanced. I love the physical individuality, and also the techical one, we can clearly feel some players abilities better than others.
I still haven´t tested but I have a feeling there´s some kind of help on the CPU side to avoid us from getting away with fast players. Sometimes they catchup real fast, sometimes its like our players take too long to accelerate, but it might be my initial impression.

My biggest worry is that, in those matches, its been easy to defend and hard to attack, wich leads to low score results, most of them 0-0 draws. I really love it the way it is but I´m already gessing lots of people complaining about it and EA will mess up in the final version to please the majority of online players... that will ruin this wonderfull game. As it is, its a damn revolution and I still don´t understand how the heck other soccer game can still be considered the best sports game...

About women, damn the flow of the match is simply perfect. In fact, I think man´s game should play the same way. It might be related with pass speed (wich I think most times is overpowered and needs radical fixing in sliders), or the general reaction speed of the women players, but damn that sh*t feels simply awesome!! So smooth and realistic!

It´s still too early, but I can´t stop thinking... If EA doesn´t mess this up, this is a potential instant classic, that will last years to come and will turn a reference in soccergaming world. Overreacting? Maybe, but its such a damn improvement! Its like EA took note of all the things we tried to fix with sliders (pace, pass speed, pass variety etc...). CM can be exactly how it was, minus some bugs of course, but the core of any soccer game is the gameplay, and that my friends, is absolutely gorgeous this year... for now.

As far as I know, this year is the same as the consoles version on PC.

While choosing teams, you have to change the category "Rest of the world" to "international female" or something like that. Then you can choose between Brazil W and Germany W.

The game still has all the problems of 15 on Legendary.

It's def an improvement. Love the angles and curves of the ball trajectory feels like you have good control over it.

Anyone noticing if CPU is taking shots from multiple areas around the pitch? Outside the 18 for instance?

I can't help but wonder how many of the people who get in these demo threads and explain why they're so disappointed and won't be buying the game actually follow through on that? 25%?

On another note, I thought the demo played well. Still need to dive a little deeper, but it shows improvement and it's still the best option available in terms of soccer games. Looking forward to the 22nd.

thanks buddy but I doesn't work. I don't see curves tbh. it's obviously a big hole in the game because you see decent curves in reality. also free kicks are much less dangerous if you can't kick curved crosses. the more I play the demo the more I recognize these flaws. Fifa seems to be much better than PES this in regards of gameplay but it's still not the football I'm expecting. I guess I'll skip both of them games. NBA 2K is still state of the art when it comes to individualty of players and almost perfect simulation of sport.

Yeah I don't know what is going on here. The same control stick method last year which could bring one in around the 6 box but bend it realistically toward the penalty spot or kick it to the spot but swing it to the 6, it's not doing it much at all.

I have watched replays and the ball tracks straight.

Same on FK's. I had a nice opportunity with aubameyang last night from just outside of the box and instead of it bending from my start point the ball tracked on an angle, straight.

It's like this \ instead of )

goldfinger35 from Evo-Web sitehave modded the database of FIFA 16 Demo and here are his first impressions (15 min halves, Legendary):

Positive
-Gameplay is slower. I even switched to normal speed (in previous fifas I used slow).
-Agility of players was toned down. They have more weight.
-Tackling is better
-Midfielders intercept more passes
-First touch is better
-AI pressures more
-AI play better defending, covering empty space and blocking your wingers
-If you outrun AI player, he will try to foul you (finally!)
-There are more fouls (I average 10 per match)

Negative
-Shooting is weird sometimes. Some shots (especially volleys) fly like cannonballs
-Headers are overpowered
-Too many shots hit the posts (2 per match)
-Corners are again too easy to defend/too easy to score. Also, defenders are still out of position (in attack)
-Night lighting is dull
-I have won a penalty but even after ten replays I didn’t find out why
-My players sometimes make the no-look pass

Yes, especially if the player has the "Takes long shots" attribute.

If you play against Dortmund you'll most likely see Mkhitaryan take some shots from outside the box.

Anyone else finding that the difficulty levels higher than Pro don't feel right?

I had nothing but enthusiasm for this demo when playing at Pro difficulty, but since moving up to World Class, and also trying Legendary, it's really pissing me off. Pretty much all my games on the higher settings end in 0-0 draws with the CPU dominating possession 60-40 but not doing much with the ball, while it's near impossible to get the ball from them.

And while I'm happy that the backline defending is now solid after last year's fiasco, I'm still disappointed with how unhelpful my defenders can be at times. They still stand around too much for my liking and it drives me nuts when they're with a couple feet of a dribbler and don't react on their own. This is all exacerbated by imo contain and teammate contain being worthless on the higher diff settings.

Overall, there's a lot to love with this demo but I'm seeing the rough edges now. I'm looking forward to the full release but it'll be interesting to see how EA refines and tweaks the demo code.

This is how I feel as well coupled with the short demo time, playing WC or Legendary is really frustrating as you watch your defenders never play defence the same way the CPU does. I also still hate this tactical defending FIFA has, never been a fan because it feels like you are truly not in control of your defenders. Legendary defending is more tolerable but it feels like something is missing.

Overall, I am not enjoying the demo as much as everyone else but this doesn't mean I think it is bad just the short demo time doesn't do it enough justice for me to judge it properly and play how I want to play; I still look forward to the full release.

Question: Does anybody know how to kick curved corners? I can't believe EA could mess up with such a basic thing.

Use the left stick to put a curve on the ball.

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

Dare i say it?

I like Fifa 16 demo better than PES 2016 demo...

First off the player models shorts are more accurate in Fifa 16

AND..YES this does make a difference because it make players running look better and more current.

PES 2016 has this very Winning Eleven 6 Vibe to it...which is GREAT for game play but NOT animation continuity...

My major complaint with Fifa is that it has to slow down...Luckily a weird slider set ive working amazingly fixes this

That said theyve added needed acceleration animations in transitions of players speeding up to the ball and defender so that it doesnt look like its a michael jackson in smooth criminal as much as last year...

tried both xbox one and ps4 demos...

No differences But the ps4 feels weighted when controlling it and xbxo one feels like its lighter but gives it a nice type of freedom as lob passes seem to feel better executed on Xbox one...

Goalies also animate great this year. They feel more like they arent as stagnant as in years past.

Seems like EVERY EA title is about POLISH this year

Madden is better animated and smoother
Now fifa is animated better and smoother
With NHL and NBA Live up next we might be in for a VERY solid line up of sports titles from EASports.

the likes of which we probably havent seen since the PS2/Xbox and Gamecube days to be completely honest.
