Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Finally started a MM. Pretty good so far..the cpu plays well on pro so I'll just keep it on that for now. I haven't scored much in these pre season games though ..still need to shake off some fifa 15 habits haha.

For those finding Pro slightly too easy and World Class slightly too difficult... Try starting out on WC using the OS Sliders and then tweaking a little. I found that the first touch was a little too penal using their settings so I lowered it a bit and now the game is playing very, very well for me.

I think the biggest improvements with their sliders are the reduction in pass speed and their reduction of cpu runs.

Give it a shot. I think you'll enjoy it.

So imma go back on this. The problem I'm seeing on WC is that my computer teammates turn stupid on WC.

I think I need to stay on Pro and try to tweak settings from there.

Again, the teammates are not turning stupid on WC. Cpu AI is better at that level.

Disagree for now but maybe I need more time to study it.

It just seems like my teammates are more active on defense on Pro than World Class but I could also see where what you're saying might be true.

I agree with the sentiments on Pro. After going back and forth between it and World Class, the only way to play this game is on Pro IMO. It lets the game breathe and really show what it can be.

I found World Class games just devolving into track meets at some point every game. Boring!

Agree. My only concern with Pro is that I have too much freedom in my opponent's box. I'm hoping an increase to cpu marking helps this.

For those playing on PRO, how are the possession stats? Are you finding it a challenge to still keep possession against the higher rated teams, esp those who play a possession game irl?

I was playing the demo on World Class against Barca last night using the lowest rated team (full manual, default sliders and tactics), and found it easier than I would've liked to keep possession against them. I'm afraid moving down to PRO might make it even easier.

I think it really depends on your style of play. I'm on Pro right now and am getting almost 50/50 possession. Previous years I would mostly play world class or legendary and was barely keeping my possession at around 40%.

It should. I upped cpu marking to 65 and frequently found myself frustrated when I got near the box in a seemingly open shot on goal because the defenders were so tenacious in quickly recovering and closing down.

After 20 or so games, I have worked out WC is my level for a decent game. Pro is good but I will get 15 shots compared to the CPU 2 or 3 shots. On WC it is better with CPU having around 4-8 shots a game and me with around 4 or 5 a game depending on if it's a Man Cuty or a Crystal Palace type team I am playing against with me being Man Utd. Generally games end 1-0 to CPU. I feel WC is tough but IMO the CPU should be attacking more and having more shots on goal and not just attack when I score or after 70 mins in games. I don't remember ever feeling like the CPU didn't shoot enough in other FIFA games. I have also found that PES 16 has a similar issue (when I played the demo). Is this the trend?

I'm playing with Livepool in my MM (with real life Europa League group), and with Pro lately after bouncing back from WC, I've found it to be a nice balance. I came back from 2-0 down to Spurs on the road to draw 2-2 and we were about even on possession and shots. Great match actually. Then we played at home against FC Sion, and I was able to beat them 4-1 while racking up 22 shots to 4 and a possession win of 70-30. They didn't press and tried to sit back, and I punished them. I feel like I'd never get that kind of variety on WC. Sion would have successfully been all over me the second I tried anything past the center line on WC. Your opposition should feel different. It never does for me above Pro.

I'm going to keep with Pro while tweaking the sliders here and there. I feel like the game is very well balanced for my personal preference out of the box and only needs a couple changes. After being pretty apathetic about a console soccer game ever gripping me again, I have to say this is a nice surprise.

I am surprised you are usually a Football Manager guy! Glad to see you are enjoying it.

Yeah, FM is still my top sports game of any kind though

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

It seems a few people are saying Pro over world-class. I've only played for a little but i definitely need some sliders to make Pro harder.

I will up CPU marking but my scoring hasn't been a real issue...i just haven't let up many goals. How do i get the CPU to be better on pro without having them pass at 100%?

Try increasing player runs a bit.
