Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

As I posted in the community sliders thread, I think the game for me plays best on Pro.

The CPU plays with purpose and not just to keep possession and pass the ball around. They are more aggressive taking shots from outside the box and they make more mistakes.

It felt a little robotic on WC. Like the CPU had zero desire to take shots that would be off target.

I think if you use Pro and play with pace not spamming turbo, you'll have a fun experience and yes Sim. I think Pro gives the best balance between fun and sim.

My experience is they shoot early and often from anywhere. And most the goals I have conceeded are from outside the box.

I kinda feel the short half lengths in the demo made the teams hold and wait for a shot at the end of the game. But regardless why, Iam not seeing this happen in the game. Though for a first time teams do play more life like and aome teams do play possesion style football. But they shoot more than a couple times a game. Unless others are just way better than me at defense.

Cheers mate. I was playing 4 min halves (normally play 5 or 6 mins on FIFA 15). Looking at the rest of your posts shooting seems fine. I did read a FIFA 16 review that mentioned something about scoring late depending on the score or time etc so was abit worried.

This game is clearly far and away the most realistic FIFA ever made - but the only thing that bugs me is the frame rate drops. It's ridiculous, actually. I've never experienced this before in any FIFA game.

I'm playing on Xbox One.

Don't think I've seen this but I would do a full reboot. Turn off the Xbox by holding the power button and then unplug the power cable for 30 seconds. This clears the cache so hopefully that is your issue.

Has this helped you in the past?

Sometimes we forget, at the end of the day, these consoles are just computers. Dedicated to one purpose but a computer nonetheless.

I experience the same thing. Already did it once and it seemed to have worked... now its happening again but i use to leave my xbox on Instant restart, so maybe I have to reboot it again on normal mode... I´ve been playing so much this game that my Xbox might just need a real rest lol

With NBA 2k coming out, my XBox One may never see any rest between that and FIFA16. LOL!

I have to agree with this and at the moment, playing all manual except shooting with Tactical defending provides enough challenge. However, I can tell I will need to eventually play with some sliders to make the AI a little more threatening.

This year's WC difficulty plays miles better than last year's however on Pro, it plays most realistically.

If you play on World Class with tactical defending, you will positively WORK YOUR *** off defending, because your AI teammates, painfully, still don't do anything. They won't pressure, they won't cut lanes, they just stand around giving acres of space to the CPU.

Maybe Pro difficulty can be made challenging enough, but World Class seems bonkers right now. The CPU defends incredibly well on World Class, in ways that I envy.

In my opinion, this is one of, if not the best game EA Sports has released in recent memory. It's almost perfect out of the box. I play on Pro, no slider adjustments and am having some absolute wonderful games. I'm learning to sit back, play passing lanes wait for a CPU mistake and try to hit them on a counter or something. Building up an attack, moving the ball around it's great. Last year it was get the ball to your fastest player and sprint/score. Please, EA, i'm begging you don't start screwing up the game with patches.

That's exactly my thoughts. It's taking me a while to trust in my AI teammates, but i'm doing it rather than constantly switching players to head off an attack. And you are dead on about not spamming turbo. Play your lanes, and let the CPU make a mistake. Also i noticed setting my midfielders instructions to Agressive Intercept Passes or something like that helps a lot too.

Have you not read any reviews in this thread yet?

Lets say it this way:
Last year Fifa was good, but with some big flaws, specially on the defensive department.
This year, it´s one of the best games out there. You won´t know what you´re missing until you get it.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Dang! Been out of town all week. Heading back tonight. I'll definitely buy this one and start playing it. I had kinda gotten tired of FIFA (and I'm an avid soccer player and fan) and was starting to drift away from it.

Sounds like this is NOT the year to do so...
