CPU on world class and above is far too good passing. Even with pass accuracy up to 70 error they had 93% knocked the ball around with zero problem

I think they're already too good on Pro-level. I'm not new to FIFA and I think I know how to defend but if Seattle has a constant 90-95% pass accuracy on Professional I see some problems ahead...

It just takes time, with default sliders I've been keeping them between 75-85% pretty regularly on world class. Try to play 3-5 yards off the ball, close off the gaps and try to force long balls. Besides that,don't always switch off as soon as the ball is passed, by doing that you eliminate the chance of your AI teammate making a play on the ball. Wait to switch until someone new has the ball.

Good advice.

I agree and will add, do not ball chase. It is less arcade and you cannot just run down the ball and tackle it off the opponent. If you sit back and hold your position and as Orion said do not stop your teammates from intercepting, the passing % majorly drops.

I am sure most everyone knows but also you can set how agressive each player in each position is on pass intecepting in player instructions. I did not realise many positions now have two levels of instructions so sometimes play passing lanes or whatever is not visible until clicking down.

For me the key is to keep position and make them pass, they will mess up. I will say they pass a higher percentage against me if I use high preasure tactics. But others will get different results as play style of the gamer affects it all.

Also keep in mind the fact that the CPU builds up now, those passing percentages increase. What annoys me more is if they passed perfectly in the defensive third like it was in 15. If they're going to pass accurately through the back, then that's fine and I could care less what that percentage is - unlike how PES attack is perfect passing throughout the defensive 3rd to create chances.

I've been trying to stream, but no luck right now. Will have to just get a video recorded and uploaded. What Orion said is spot on, you let the CPU attack you and use secondary pressure in certain positions. I've found that 16's momentum is the same as it was in 15. So as you let go of second pressure, your players should still have enough momentum to continue the animation for a brief second and complete whatever tackle animation if you time it correctly.

I find it the opposite. In PES the CPU inflates their passing % with passes in their own half where FIFA has a tendency to go Arsenal around the box UNLESS you're playing a team that has players with the long distance shooting trait.

FIFA'S build up game by the CPU is legit though. They make you defend as a unit but it's a shame that both defensive options are incomplete. I should be able to use tactical defending and map the teammate pressure to a button. You're teammates do a great job at containing and cutting off lanes but they still won't make tackles for you.

I will say that player Instructions are more important this year than team tactics. I've noticed in the demo that turning tour teams aggressiveness up to 100 with team pressure up to 100 doesn't affect them. But if you change the player instructions to high pressure/close down instead of conservative they will apply pressure.

That's not a good thing for Krebstars tactic efforts.

Team instructions seems like the only way to possibly get teams to play different. It is a shame and still you can get the Fullbacks and Midfielders ignoring your instructions from time to time.

Maybe my thoughts are skewed and irrelevant to 16 on default because I've been having a blast with slider editing. There are so many good things from the demo right now, and sliders are responsive to each value.

I tried your sliders on World Class and I like what I am seeing but they are definitely not geared for the short demo time as both teams can finish a half without even one shot attempted and very low pass accuracy. I know you are playing with the demo extender so you are probably getting better results but I am very curious to see what how they fit with the release build.

Where can I find these sliders?

Oh don't get me wrong, this is easily the best FIFA demo to date. Balanced, more intelligent teammates, very good pace, etc...

The difference is you and Orion see something off and immediately work with the sliders to remedy it. Most folks won't in a demo or just in general, especially if they play online.

Any word on matchmaking or is it the same as 15?

Constantly getting matched up with Mexicans is a total joysuck online. EA needs to do country only because of the internet infrastructure differences of different countries.

This is absolutely the opposite of a football match:

In FIFA, if i press high up the pitch or if i press the ball carrier, to intercept the ball, it will have the effect of the CPU never missing a pass (exagerating of course), and if i don´t press the CPU and stay 5 yards away from them and give them space... they will loose the ball.

I can´t think of a more artificial way to decrease the CPU passing percentage... good teams (at least) do not play 5 yards away from the ball carrier or don´t press high up the pitch (except some italian teams).
