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 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 probably and play how I want to play; I still look forward to the full release.

Switch to Legacy defending. I've never liked tactical.

I have to agree with this. The more i play the less enamored I am with it. Played Seattle sounders on world class and they had 92% pass percentage. This was with pass error turned up to 65 i think for computer, guess it will have to go way up.

My midfield doesn't get in the way of their passes and they don't get in the way of mine either. I think this is the biggest issue that sliders guys will try to fix. Right now even in the final third I seem to have open passes a lot of the time. I do not have any difficulty passing all the way down the field every time.

The game has a good base but NEEDS slider work for sure. I am kind of surprised by some of the reactions here. Very positive when there are some big issues with the game. Yes they have improved pace and defensive "shape" but not getting what I want from it simulation wise.

Also do the player models feel super lanky?? I feel like a bean pole running around out there. Anyway just some more thoughts, seeing if anyone else has noticed some of the negatives (I have had a few posts before this pointing out all the great things it is doing this year).

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.

Funny that you mentioned the shorts I had a friend comment on that yesterday saying how they look better than PES pajama shorts look. And while we are on aesthetics, it is about time FIFA does something with their Goalkeeper gloves as they don't fit the rest of the games graphics; they look too pixelated and jarring compared to the rest of the kits. I actually can't believe PES has surpassed them on it as they were once known to have those ridiculous clown gloves/oven mitts for too long haha.

After so many years I really don't understand why there isn't a "Teammate Pressure" button for Tactical Defending controls. I don't want my AI controlled defender to just contain. I want him to pressure the ball carrier. Either I am stupid and I don't see the option (besides switching to Legacy Defending) or the EA devs are the most incapable devs in the gaming industry.
I'll post my impressions of the demo later, testing the game with 15min halves.

I only had time to play one match last night, so I can't really give much of an impression of the game, but...

Have you been noticing the "stay back while attacking instruction" for the DMF not working as intended. I notice too many times the DMF while push up past the CMF and even make forward runs whether this instruction is on or not.

However, I have noticed other instructions working as intended but this one for the DMF is bothering me.

Tried this morning, and sadly, the DM still pushes up way too far. I tried pushing him back in the formation as far as he would go while still being a CDM, and he would still make too many forward runs for my liking.

It's not perfect, but I did find a decent solution. Play your DM as a sweeper (SW), and set him to "join in attack". This keeps him back protecting the back four (a little too close, but eh), and he'll still move forward to help in attack, but not too much.

Not an ideal solution, but it has some potential to be a decent one for now.

Other than that, player instructions seem to work well. I set both my right and left midfielders to stay wide, and come short for passes, and they hugged the touchline for the most part, and were always there to help in build up play and not running behind looking for passes.

I might start a thread just for discussing breaking down tactics, formations, and instructions in the demo. Bit of a warm up for a hopeful full on return to custom team tactics this year.

After playing the demo more last night, I've noticed the CPU likes to shoot and has scored from long range against me at least once in the last few matches I've played. Anyone else notice this?

[fab4]

i played the demo for 5 mins. i shot on the goal - keeper did not catch the ball, dropped it.
And then he just starred at the ball for 1 sec and then he decided to get it..aha okay....

then my opponent made a goal and i watched the replay, my keeper came out without any sense of where his goal is. so he decided to leave most of the goal open ... WTF

Yeah it does happen with players you expect to shoot, I had Ibrahimovic score a ridiculous long range curler against me.

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.

yeah I'm not sure how anyone can play FIFA with tactical defending to be honest.. it's horrible imo

Yeah I'm usually more of PES guy so for me what I do to make the FIFA controls like PES is I put the controls on alternate and switch to legacy defending and turn analog sprint off. It plays more like PES defending this way to me... doing this you can pressure with x and secondary press with square just like you do in PES

Right now even in the final third I seem to have open passes a lot of the time. I do not have any difficulty passing all the way down the field every time.

is this with playing full manual as well?

The first match of the demo is on proffesional difficulty, you should already know this...goalies don't behave realistically in those settings. Didn't happen to me in more than 100 matches on world class and legendary.

I've hated tactical defending every since they put it in. Legacy is much better IMO.

I was playing on semi. I should give it a try on full manual. I guess what I am saying is that it is a good base but needs lots of slider help. The pass percentage for the AI on world class is soooooo high with every team. Can hopefully fixed with sliders and tactics.

Manual still feels like the ball goes where the cup thinks it should go, rather than where you intended. This is particularly evident when trying to go for a long pass with a second teammate somewhere near the path of the ball. The cursor will often switch to the wrong player, with the intended player just frozen in place.

A lot of canned animations during jostles for the ball that leave your players in weird positions. A lot of the same old offensive player hovering around defenders on set pieces, basically moving places without moving their feet. Collisions still feel like two magnets of the same polarity trying to come together as opposed to two bodies crashing into each other.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of improvements over last year but still a lot of things that are going to get uglier and uglier the more you play a CM.

And after switching to Legacy Defending my teammates pressure when I want them to and ofc they contain on their own. They also commit fouls more frequently.
Good job again EA...
