Like I said, definitely not a day one purchase. Game is going to take some slider work but should be able to get it to a good place eventually. Passing is a definite issue. Also my big issue is the lack of players making runs on offense. Watch Tottenham goal from today, I don't think that could be done in FIFA right now but I love that kind of stuff. Anyway not trying to be totally negative, the ball physics and shooting and little presentation touches are amazing!

I get what you are saying but I don't think that goal is the best example as Tottenham are pretty much in All Out attack there pushing for a goal in the 80th minute; in FIFA the CPU will attempt to do something similar as well. But I have been trying to test it specifically with Man City to have Yaya make runs in the box and it does work when setting him to Get Forward, even when he is set as a DMF. The issue is trying to get them to make runs by the defence more often, I am seeing them but not as much as I would like even with instructions set. But at this point we just have to wait 9 days to release and we can really test everything properly.

Yeah that might help, but I have never got that kind of crisp passing out of fifa. I might just suck though, haha.

p.s. I know they wanted the goal but that was just beautiful passing not necessarily all out attack. Looks like they had 3 guys in the final 3rd, maybe 4.

Re: FIFA 16 Demo Impressions

The big question is about the handballs, are they actually going to keep them in the game this year or are we going to have to deal with the whole lobbed through ball being knocked down by the defenders arm again.

Great game. Really enjoyable. Look really same as 15, but in good way. Fixed all bad things. Playing on xbox one.
Game is slower even on normal (what i really like cause its more realistic). Played just first game (when entering game) against CPU, and i must say that Ai is not bad. All other games played player vs player.
Gameplay is really good, and what me and my brother like you must be patient and making chances. Defense is nice, also i didnt play more than 15 games, but seems that finally there is midfield. Game is realistic, we played Gladbach vs Dortmund, had chances, midfield clashes, and whole game 0-0 till 86' when he made mistake on left wing, my player run into center and score with longshot, which look very realistic same as watching tight game. Ball physic is fantastic for now same as pass and crossing. Shooting is random, scored many random goals (not too many same goals). Goalkeepers had some really woried mistakes, but overall they are good also. Didnt notice too many 90' goals. In about 15 matches 1 goal. For me that is great.
Graphics looks fantastic. Last year day was great, and now with that, night is really FANTASTIC, and finally looks like night. Lighting is superb, there are some player model improvements, but still that is really bad thing in game. Goalnet is little different and look much better that 15, and i thinh even phyisc is improved a little.
Really cant wait for full, hope that they wont touch too much in full game.


Bundesliga logo and music/sound give really great atmosphere, very very like watching bundesliga on eurosport
I just cant imagine how it could like with all bundesliga stadiums.

I do not think you suck. It seems one really has to find the right tactic, instruction, formation combo to get results like that goal. My hope and maybe I am wrong is that it is partially related to 4 min halves. Because at times I get wonderful goals like that. But not every game. With the four minutes sometimes I go a hlaf without a shot on goal.

We will see in a week... Overall though I am really impressed with the game.

On the subject of controls, the L1 (I think) was used to stop the ball and face the goal in 15, but doesn't seem to work the same in 16. Has the button been changed or has the EFFECT changed?

Seems like they nerfed the ball stop a bit, which was probably a good thing since I found it a bit OP'd last year. I have found that the skilled players are able to stop more quickly, which is appropriate in my opinion.

I used it a lot, so it is a HUGE change for me. I really feel it when I get in the box. Gonna be a big adjustment.

Re: FIFA 16 Demo Impressions

I've played about a dozen games and the real stand out to me is the improved attacking intellegence by the ai teammates. Playing this morning with BVB, cut into the box from the left with Reus, threw a cross from the edge of the box right in front of the touch line with the hope of Ramos heading home from the far post, and much to my surprise Gundögan on the near post, controlled by ai, turns the damn ball in with his head! I've played FIFA since 10 and I've never had an ai teammate even show the slightest intrest in scoring or making good runs. Looked at the replay and saw Gundögan on the near post, Ramos in the far post, and Kagawa at the top of the box with Miki standing just out a far of the box. Outstanding
