Exactly how I feel and great point about dificulty and settings in general. I always tweak things, to get the best sim I can. Kinda hard with 4 min halves but will get there and with Matt's sliders and other stuff. Even camera seems to change gameplay. Probably just my play causing AI changes in response but still.

Orion, when you get Access I hope you share your experience and thoughts. I really want to play a longer game. Plus hear about CM. I am really wondering if youth academy is improved in maybe players looking like their pics and stuff. If not I can deal because the game play is so well done. Still fingers crossed some CM issues have been adressed.

Is EA Access an Xbox Live only thing or am I just not understanding how to get it on PSN?

I really hope they fix youth academy because it has been pretty terrible and just makes you never want to develop any youth players.

I totaly agree with you. Playing on X1, love the demo. I played most matches against my brother, game is superb when play human vs human.
Tried vs CPU, on pro seems so enjoyable to play. For me much better than world class or legendary.

Best thing for me is SPEED! Its perfect! Previous years it was like skating on ice. Now it feels like real FOOTBALL game. Also love variety of goals. Many random goals scored.

I just cross my finger that FULL will be similar to demo...Just hope for that.

This is kinda lame to most but in 15 I took the Wales job in every CM. That way I just ignored youth players and worked with what they had knowing regens would be coming as they aged out... I like the youth academy idea but it was teadious and because of issues unrewarding. So, I hope it is improved then I can develope a youth team.

Yep, they completely $%#@ed up the Youth Academy in 15.

In 2014, it wasn't perfect but it was serviceable. I ended up with plenty of players in my career that were from the Academy.

In FIFA 15, every player I had ended up with terrible physical traits. By the time everybody discovered the workaround for the "bug" I was already in the 6th year of my career and that was like February or March.

I'm extremely hopeful that they at least get it back to being useful, if imperfect.

Matt10 et al - anybody figure out how to get around the fatigue issue with the demo expander?

You cannot from what I understand. No worries though, you're one week away from go time.

BUT I WANT MY CANDY. I WANT IT NOW!

I was having soooooo much fun with Barca / BMG, 10 minute halves, World Class, Slow, all manual, and CPU passing error at 65. They were trying everything: long balls, crosses from the wings, Xhaka taking shots from 22 yards out, etc.

I'm really enjoying the demo. High hopes for full release, holy cow.

First time I've seen you optimistic about a FIFA game. Can't wait to get my hands on the demo when I return from Barcalona tomorrow.

Overall this is better than 15 after putting more time into it...online is what's really gonna decide it for me tho. Good thing we're only a week away.

Game plays great. One thing is I wish the dominant foot was used more often. Many players use both feet and thats not how many professionals play.

If it's anything like 15, you could just lower acceleration to find the threshold in which stamina stops being a factor. Like in 15, get down to 46, and stamina gauge is still nearly full on 15 min matches by the 80th minute. Haven't tested it in the demo though. I did test the Sprint all the way down to 1 and jogging animation pops up, so that's a bit of a bummer.

I've noticed that the guys who only have one foot (Matic, Marcelo, etc...) primarily use their dominant foot when passing. They'll toe-poke a pass instead of side-footing a right-foot pass.

I haven't shot too much with them though.

Is Di Maria on PSG in the demo? I haven't played it in a week so I can't remember. If so, give him a shot. Like some commentator once said, his left leg is only good for standing.

I'm playing semi-assisted on SLOW against PRO CPU, and with these sliders it feels perfect imo.

Sprint: 50/50
Accel: 48/48
Pass Speed: 36/36
First Touch Control: 88/88

Everything else is all 50/50
The CPU seems less frantic and in general reacts more human!

Please try it out and tell me what you think of the pace? :wink:

Semi assisted controls on PRO difficulty it´s almost impossible to loose. The next difficulty setting (World Class) is a huge spike in difficulty though...

^^
I know, but on World Class and Legendary the CPU has rocket fast reactions - which look and feels sooo unrealistic!

I'm trying full manual right now, and it actually feels better to be honest.
The thing you should notice with this setup is how realistic the ball physics becomes. Much slower and realistic imo.
It's like the ball hangs more in the air and the momentum/inertia looks so much more realistic!

On what page is Matt10's slider setup for the demo?
