So the winter gear bug is gone. However, now, if you edit a player he wears his winter gear in all seasons, so it negates the weather/season contextual application. Better than before I guess? We just need a "winter/cold" only option in the edit player menu.

I can deal with this if I can at least edit prior to a match. As long as they are not wearing gloves in the non-winter season.

Still at work so haven't had a chance to play yet. Sorry if this has been asked before, but have they addressed player stamina this time around? Do players actually tire out?

Enjoy!



This may sound strange but even though I'm an Arsenal fan, I just never enjoy playing as them lol. I get a few matches in with them and just go NOPE can't enjoy myself. I don't think I have enjoyed playing with them ever since van Persie left and I miss the PES days of playing with Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Viera, etc. Ha I am just spoiled a little and holding on to some nostalgia.

Only been a fan (of the sport in general!!) for about 15 months (post 14 WC).

I chose to attach myself to Arsenal simply because of their "cool name and logo".

I have since become obsessed with football--and that is somewhat of an understatement; lol...

Yeah, you can just edit on a per game basis. I'll probably do this whenever the season switches in my cm.

I didn't really play the demo, only the two games. So hopefully that's the case. It's encouraging at least

I think it is improved over the past versions where they always tried tried to dribble into the box instead of shoot when given space. There still may be an dividing line where they won't shoot from, would need to more games to check (been playing the early access, trial is almost used up), but I noticed more edge and right outside the edge of the box shots when given space.

Loving the game so far! Best yet!
Anyone have issues getting Ultimate Edition content on Xbox One?

Maaaan. I had so much hope. So, technically, the winter gear bug still exists. I just don't understand why they haven't figured out a way to fix this completely. Smh.

Well in my mind its better than nothing. At least i can just go in an do it myself when i feel like its needed.

Awesome game. In one word, this game screams authenticity.

The variety, the possibilities... very impressive.

That said, FIFA still has major defending issues. Tactical defending needs to be totally redone. Yeah, teammates are proficient at making interceptions but they're not near aggressive enough at other times, closing down and making tackles when they're perfectly placed to do so. Meanwhile, controlling defenders to get close to make tackles and apply pressure shouldn't be this hard.

Easily the best FIFA ever. Well done EA for focusing on realism and proper balancing.

Ok. I'm totally confused here. So, does that mean we can go in and take the winter gear back OFF and it stays off until we put it back on? I thought it gets stuck if you edit. Also, does it screw up just by editing something like stamina?

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

A few things I don't like about online. I have played about 6 online friendlies with a friend and throw-ins are the worst.

The marking is so tight to begin with, then if you flick the RS to control a player to move them to some space it's easy for the other user to trail you.

The main issue comes when you throw it in, you lose control of any player while the ball starts to be thrown so it's super easy for the other user to "jump the route" and steal the ball.

2nd thing is any pass you play, particularly an A pass, that is over say 20 feet, will be picked off. Solely because your player stands still while the CPU player, not even the player the other player is controlling, runs forward and steals the ball.

You can slightly fix it by holding the LS towards the pass but it's still not enough to stop this other form of route jumping to occur constantly.

Safest bet is to never play an A pass over 10 feet.

Yeah long passes almost always have to be done via the bumper + pass modifier to give it a chance.
