Re: FIFA 15 OS Community Sliders

Sorry, I've been around a bunch of forums and the only thing I see are people complaining about people's hard work and stuff. I came to operation sports because I heard its a great forum site. I apologize for me snapping, won't happen again

Welcome aboard mate! You'll soon see OS isn't at all like any of the other forums you'll find around the internet. The FIFA forum especially is loaded with good positive dudes with one goal, to make FIFA the best it can be. If you have any questions about the set, the game, or how things work around here feel free to ask, again welcome aboard and I look forward to your input.

Re: FIFA 15 OS Community Sliders

There is one question I have, why is the gk ability so low and the cpu shot error at default? Wouldn't that cause the cpu to score more goals easier?

Re: FIFA 15 OS Community Sliders

Are those the sliders posted by Matt on page 1.
No alterations?
Tactical defending?
And 15 minutes.
Which camera angle do you use?
Looks very good,starting a new season,that's why I'm curious.
Been using a hybrid between Matts and orions and my own.
Cheers mate

Yup, sliders from the OP (original post). I'm using tactical defending. I'm on 15 minutes and the camera angle is broadcast.

Re: FIFA 15 OS Community Sliders

Was finally shut out by the cpu for the first time last night, definitely never touching sliders again.

I hope EA doesn't throw out another gameplay patch.

Manual settings?

I've been trying broadcast, but I'm having a hard time getting used to the angle specially with manual shooting/passing. It does wonders to seeing the runs your team make.

Think about GK ability as in the GK speed of reactions. If shot speed is 49, then we want there to be slight deflections (so less rebounds) and shots to go past keepers when off target. So 46 GK has been really nice.

Do you see goals go in that the gk should save? Or does it show a much better representation of a bad goalie and a good goalie?

Re: FIFA 15 OS Community Sliders

I should have taken a pic of this game I just played. I used the latest sliders from matt against Argentina in the south american cup group stage with the USA. I beat Paraguay 1-0 the game before.

I held them 1-0 at halftime from a pk by altidore in the 45th minute. Argentina had 20 shots in the first half to my 5 lol Possession was 45 (USA) 55 (ARG) with the fouls 3-2 all yellow cards. I couldn't even count how many times they hit the post. They score in the 48,64,77 minutes and I lose 3-1. But the crazy thing is Argentina ended the game with 29 shots and 15 on target! I ended with 9 shots total with 5 on target.They were letting them fly which was so great to see. The fouls were 13 combined 7 of those were me and 6 of them were the cpu with 10 of those yellow cards. Possession was 46 (USA) 54 (ARG) with the passing being 81 (USA) 83 (ARG). I have never played a more realistic game in my life on fifa. Just want to say bravo to matt with these sliders. Its crazy how much the game is different because of his hard work.

Re: FIFA 15 OS Community Sliders

Does anyone use a 4-3-3 with these? I'm finding myself getting ravaged on the counter by inferior teams. When i do have the ball, my wingers stay really wide, then when the fullback overlaps, it just clogs the wing, draw 3-4 defenders.

When I drop into a different formation, the issue with the counter disappears, but their seems to be an issue with just the 4-3-3.

I'm getting punched up a little with these, still. I'm not giving up, but I hit some real frustrating walls.

I use the 4-3-3 sometimes and I edited the formation where my wings come back on defense to turn it into 4-5-1 and I tell my full backs to stay back on defense. But I only use it when I need to score a goal.

In general with FIFA I've never had much luck with a 4-3-3 unless I played with two CDM's in the midfield triad behind an attacking mid.
On another note, I've noticed something concerning the fullbacks and wingers; when the wingers are set to track back in the tactics, they always seem to switch positions with the fullbacks who are naturally pushed up higher due to the slider setting. When they're set to balanced it happens much less, but it still happens. Is this normal fullback/winger behavior? Should they be switching positions so often? Or is this just a side effect of the two settings together?

Yeah, every time I've tried 4-3-3 in this Fifa I've struggled both offensively and defensively. With the sliders and without. Try a 4-4-2 if decide to change, have had great success with it. Most versions of it seem to be really effective in this edition. I think formation effectiveness changes a lot year to year in Fifa.

I think formations effectiveness is very dependant on playstyle this year.

I use a 4-3-3 almost exclusively, to great success, but I play my offense largely on the counter.

It is a good site, but like anywhere else, people don't always agree and sometimes aren't tactful enough about it. Since sliders involve so much personal preference and are heavily influenced by user skills/style, it's inevitable a chunk of the feedback is "here's what I like" stuff. But don't worry about starting off on the wrong foot, as based on your subsequent posts, I can see you'll fit in well around here. Welcome aboard.

In general, I'm not a fan of the classic Dutch 4-3-3 in FIFA for that reason, as well as difficulties with building thru the midfield. Individual instructions might help somewhat with the weaknesses by setting your wingers to come short/cut inside/come back on defense. But even with that, it seems like the formation just doesn't jive with how FIFA plays, or maybe more accurately, how I play FIFA. Like Orion and NightWave, I prefer a double pivot behind a CAM for a little more cover and would use it situationally.

On another note, I've noticed something concerning the fullbacks and wingers; when the wingers are set to track back in the tactics, they always seem to switch positions with the fullbacks who are naturally pushed up higher due to the slider setting. When they're set to balanced it happens much less, but it still happens. Is this normal fullback/winger behavior? Should they be switching positions so often? Or is this just a side effect of the two settings together?

I recall seeing this behavior in a slider-testing match early on in which I had fullbacks set fairly high (75+?). I was playing a 4-2-3-1 wide with my fullbacks set to overlap and possibly had my wide MFs set to come back as well, as I jumped out to an early lead and went to a more counter attacking setup. I ran into two problems with this combination of factors: the two players would stand almost on top of one another when building from the back and the fullback often being the more forward of the two players.

There are so many variables, it's hard to isolate one culprit. In addition to the fullback slider and player instructions, there are line settings, team mentality, custom tactics, player workrates, and so on. Some combinations just aren't going to work and will lead to undesirable effects.
