Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

Just an F'n joke - I lose 3-1 to Napoli (I'm Genoa) they had 23 shots, 10 on goal, I had 9 / 4. They are at 86% passing, I was at 79%, my guys had ZERO runs.

Dont blame the game mate blame how you play it as i aint having any problems all about getting use to the game.

Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

Can anybody help me figure out how to get my players to run forward? I am playing with Chelsea and have edited their formation and tactic to better suit my play style but off-ball players won't run forward to attack so when I pass it up to either Hazard, Shurrle or Costa the rest of the team (including two of the players I just mentioned) just hangs back and only shift four or five yards in any direction.

The game is great and I feel like for the most part all of my defensive errors are because I am not very good at it but I do also feel like because I can't generate any offense that my defense is suffering more.

Any help would be welcome.

Increase Run Frequency this will give you more support and raise Fullback Positioning for both User and CPU.

I bumped sprint speed and acceleration back up to 50 so that in online games I'm not at a disadvantage (as I'll be used to the slower pace so my timing goes all off).

I found I had to bump run frequency back to 50 otherwise my players just refused to make runs - and I left CPU run at 30. Though, to be honest, I don't notice a huge difference with CPU runs no matter what the setting.

Other than that I also bumped my team passing tactic up to 70 (RISKY) so players made, in my opinion, better movement. At lower (SAFE) levels they just seemed to stick to their marker too much.

Overall, pretty good, but I think the AI auto-balancing is too strong in this version. I struggle against low end teams (I'm playing as Newcastle Utd) yet find games against 5 star clubs either equal, or sometimes too easy (0-0 vs. Chelsea, 4-2 vs Man Utd, 4-1 vs Liverpool). It's very odd.

Great start on the sliders. I've had some very entertaining matches so far with my Luton Town career.

I've been toying with increasing human runs back to 50 as a I think it does give a better game, but also agree tactics are huge, and that people need to adjust for how they play, or want their players to move. I always switch to free-form because I want my players to organically fill space.

As for auto-balancing the issue is this. Lower level teams park the bus, resulting in hard to score games where they string together a few good attacks on the counter, which sometimes results in losses. Good teams on the other hand play more open futbol, and this results in what we think of as fair or easier matches. It's a problem that existed last year as well.

I will say playing lower league sides finally sees them truly outclassed. I beat AFC Wimbledon 8-4...two goals I gave up were due to my laziness, but it was like a walk in the park to score after struggling my first three games in the BPL with Southampton.

Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

So I'm home now, and in the second half of the season now...I'm still getting a widespread of scores, just beat Coventry 3-2 in the FA Cup round of 16. Thought I would destroy them but had to come back from 2-1 down to win the game. Currently second in the league, but the top five teams are all within 4 points so anything could happen.

Right now I'm really enjoying the feel of the game.

Am I the only one not earning points right now? I know it is a widespread problem but was just curious as to how widespread. Pisses me off, because I have rules for using points in CM, especially for Takeovers, and no points means I may not have the points to do it in the summer...which will kill my chances in the CL. Oh well.

I see comments have slowed down, so just thought I'd ping everyone to see how things are going.

Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

Just noticed Orion sliders line width have changed to 25/25 for a more compact line at the back. Wondered if you think this is worth tinkering with?

I have also noticed this mate myself never seem to gain any points even though i have won the league and champions league only way i could get points is by playing the games off the week.

Here's the thing, I love his line height, etc., but people keep tinkering for different reasons...Matt's sliders are for legendary and he has speed down to 30, etc. There are reasons for this, but in my mind a compact line is only really going to affect the cpu as humans still have to constantly switch to defend. Since switching my players to free-form from organized in tactics some of my backline problems disappeared as players will slot in to fill space. Most goals I give up now are my fault when the cpu gets me running ragged and pulls me out of position.

I don't see a need to switch up lines, but if someone sees something by all means let me know, I'm open to switching things. Right now I feel I'm getting really good games, and I don't tinker much when I'm feeling good about this. Anyone else noticing things that they want to test or tinker with?

Supposedly there are tons of people complaining on EA's forums without any responses as to the why. It's been an issue since 9/27.

Glad we aint the only ones then mate anyway back on track had a great first season with the sliders with arsenal won the league on the last day off the season as man city needed to win and for me to lose they drew and i won 3-1 to win the league by 3 points really enjoyed it as well if i am been honest beat bayern in the champions league on pens as well currently 3 games into my second season won all 3

Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

So, my next match is against Arsenal for the Capital One Cup Final.

In the January Transfer Window I used a Financial Takeover due to massive injuries throughout my squad: Starting striker, starting winger, 1st and 2nd team keepers, and a starting CB.

I bought Varane (CB, 81ovr), Pogba (CM, 83ovr), Aubemeyang (RM/ST, 79ovr), and Scuffet (GK, 72ovr). I did look at other young players, but they're so stinking expensive that these were by far the best options for holes I needed to fill. Didn't buy Aubemeyang until the final day as an offer came in for Rodriguez that allowed me the money and extra wages to buy Aubemeyang.

I justify it because I was sitting 2nd in the league, and still am tied on points with Chelsea, but down due to goal differential.

Last game was against Liverpool and while the game before against Coventry was a 3-2 struggle I dominated Liverpool from the get go possession wise, and then finally scored in the 68th before getting a second goal in the 83rd, and a final goal in the 90th to win 3-0.

They started numerous second stringers...but really couldn't put together anything on the attack.

I don't know why the huge disparity at times, I barely beat Coventry and believe me it could have gone either way, and then Liverpool fails to show up...perhaps it's realistic, we'll see.

Curious how things are going for everyone else. If sliders need tweaking I rely upon what people are seeing, and haven't heard much lately...so either you guys are enjoying or have moved on to other sliders.

If you're still using mine or variations of mine let me know what's working well, and what isn't. Thanks!

Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

I'm Back to default on most settings myself. Seems I have a tougher time scoring with default lines as any change to them and the CPU loses it physicality and I can score at will and never draw a foul/free kick. I have tried everything and no matter the changes, the fouls just dry up once you change lines, marking, keepers, or first touch. There has to be some bug or something going on with this as changing certain sliders effect other things it should not and I also think the tactics issues are tied into all this in some way as well.

Re: DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

I have tried your sliders and they are good but i do think there are too many goals.
Maybe if you change the lines like orions it will be tighter games and harder to score. I will try tonight and return with my results
