Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

I'm so tired of having to keep a notebook at my side to keep track of my win/loss/draws etc during manager mode.

They had a way to track that last year and it was broken down by year and also had an overall page for your career. Are you saying they took that out? That would be strange...

At the end of the day. I will take improved gameplay over improved manager mode.

Absolutely, gameplay trumps everything.

No no. The current stat collection is pretty good and I'm sure itll be the same as in the past. I'm really just nitpicking, but I'd love to be able to access what my overalls are against each team in the league. After five or so years into a manager mode it's to see what what my overall record/goals scored against league opponents etc. Its a nice way to flesh out who my bogey teams are, which teams I'm successful against, home and away and so on. Maybe even archived league tables. Minor stuff really.

Has anyone tried editing a player within MM to see if the winter gear glitch is fixed there too?

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

So far I'm 4-1-2 with Man United. Won the preseason tournament losing one game in the group stage. I dropped the first BPL game and drew my second before finally going on a four game win streak. Lost to Everton in my last game. I'm also 0-1-1 in the Champions Cup.

Rooney has been on fire scoring 8 goals in the first 7 games of the BPL season and 3 during the Champions Cup group stage. Depay finally got going in the last two games scoring 2 goals.

Just running a bit of a practice Manager Mode with Everton!...So far my results are a draw with Watford 1-1, I defeated Southampton 2-0 and a thrilling match against Manchester City beating them 3-2

I'm really appreciative the training centre has been added, as stated in previous posts I'm a little sour that Manager Mode has been treated as an after thought, but I'm happy that gameplay has improved!

I'm not the worlds greatest FIFA player I've been getting some great matches on Professional difficulty without any slider tweaks, I've found World Class extremely challenging and get blown away, what difficulty is everyone else settled on?

I've been really enjoying Pro default myself. I did WC default for a bit, but then I had two games back to back where the CPU scored 6 goals. That was the end of that. I also haven't started a serious career yet. Just been goofing off testing things out, etc. Wont start a serious one until its actually out, and I don't have to worry about time.

I'd like to see this too, but this is something that you can keep track of manually.

How is the transfer? Are you getting offers for the players you want to sell or loan? That's my biggest issue with manager mode

Its exactly the same as 15 from all my testing. I don't see any difference in it really except that the cpu is stupid this year. They said the fixed pricing, still seeing crazy prices for layers. They said they made it more realistic, but I'm stilling drrinh teams with multiple star strikers still buying expensive star strikers. For example Man U bought Neymar and Cavani in my last test. They don't need those players. Especially since they didn't sell a single player. Also still seeing lots of teams making zero moves during the window.

However, every player I listed to loan was loaned every time. But not transfers. And cpu tries to crazy undercut you on every offer they give you. Trying to offer me 12M for a player like Oscar who has a worth of 27M. Then when I counter with 32M they decline saying he isn't worth that. Don't even counter. Or a player in top form worth 6M, they offer 4.5M, I counter with 7.5M, again they don't counter back, they just decline. But I offer someone 4.5M on a 6M player, they come back and say we want 24M. LOL. So I then counter 8M, they then counter 23M.. The logic is crazy busted. And is going to be even more of a pain than last year I think.

TL;DR: See way too many players going for crazy values, but then the cpu thinks they can get all your stars for nothing. And still no where near enough transfers.

very disappointing. hopefully this is tweaked considering it was a promise EA made

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

Damn, this sounds terrible...

This was the most important update for this years MM imo. They can keep training and tournaments, it still sucks if you play against Bayern in the Champions League Final and they sold Neuer to Chelsea and didnt replace him at all...

I'm dont know much about developing games but is it that hard to give the AI some guidelines for their transfers?

e.g. if you're a 5 Star club you want at least 2-3 good players for every position. And you dont chase your 5th striker if you just sould your only good Keeper

In the demo I am playing on Pro. Last year I played World Class but this year for me it feels better on Pro and I am still getting beat or winning matches with close scores. If I start winning everything or scoring too much then I will bump up.

Shockingly I see no need to tweak sliders (I have in the past always tweaked them or used someones set).

Re: *The FIFA 16 Manager Mode Thread*

Regarding transfers I still believe that they´ll be way diferent after a season. In Fifa 15 at least I was offered by a lot f clubs for my most used players in good form. I remember I had Kishna for a considerably low price and after two seasons he was my best player, until Milan offered me +60M!!! for him... yet he was worth about 25M. Its a flutuating market and reacts to players form and stats. Maybe because its the first season and your players still haven´t prove their value they are offering such values? Just guessing.

That could explain your team pricing. But none of the other issues. Of teams buying players they don't need, and paying way too much for them. So many teams not making any moves at all in the transfer window, etc.
