Awesome stuff. Can we modify sliders at all?

Half length is set at 4 mins but everything else can be changed.

almost 2 games in and still no hand ball. could be early but ... jeez.

I saw 2 handball calls in my first 2 games. I'm sure you already know this but they're turned off by default.

Not really struggling generating chances, but you definitely have to play a more aware game. It isn't about pure counterattacking, or constantly ping-ponging forward. The benefit of holding up, waiting for support, or passing back and resetting is much more of an emphasis this year because your team seems to organize itself much better around the play.

I'm still seeing a few instances in defense where the backline and the midfield are getting a bit too disorganized for no reason, but it's definitely better. There's a nicer flow going on in general because the linkage play between the backline and midfield is much better.

I also like the tweaks to player movement. Makes keeping the ball at your feet a more risky calculation for the player and cpu. Players who should be more conservative on the ball play that way now.

Good catch! It was annoying having to estimate those final minutes and having the whistle blow on you.

Glad to read this. Yes I turned them on lol

My impression of this demo is glowing. Play seems less scripted. Alive. Players dive and trip and reach for balls. Kicking is unique in lots of situation for shots on goal. The ai is willing to build up and defense is hugely improved.

If youth academy can produce pacey players if you can find them, this may be a classic.

I am really liking the impressions so far but one thing that has me concerned is all the comments about not enough chances to score. Last year there were complaints from the Ultimate Team community that the defense was too tough and there weren't enough scoring chances. After EA of course listened to them they released a patch which nerfed the AI defense beyond repair. Please do not do this again EA!

Dunno about that. Last year the defense was utter trash from the start.

Still, this demo is so good I'm now just really worried thinking about EA are going to ruin it.

It might be also due to the short half length. It's hard to be patient and try to build up when you're up against a fast clock.

Liking everything I've heard so far. Can't wait to play it tomorrow. Not in enough of a rush to make an account in another country. But also can't wait.

Re: FIFA 16 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Played three matches and so far it seems pretty promising, I like what I am seeing in the midfield and with the defence covering players well. I haven't touched all the tactics yet but it still seems players ignore instructions, I'll have to test it more.

Re: FIFA 16 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I'm just shocked how "sim" it is on WC all manual. There are a variety of errant passes, misreads, general scrappiness if you try to force the ball down the field when the opportunity isn't there.

I'll be disappointed if this is patched to make attacking more rudimentary. If this is the kind of gameplay design coming from the FIFA team in the era of FUT and youtube, color me impressed and surprised.
