FIFA 16 Demo Available Now For Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, PC

Re: FIFA 16 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Played about a dozen matches. All on Pro difficulty. All as BVB.

Pace of play is fantastic. Much slower, due to slower passing and pace totally toned down.

Biggest issue last year for me was how unbalanced gameplay was in favor of attack. Very early on but it feels like they've fixed this. Defending is solid now, though we'll see if exploits are found.

Headers were reported to be OP but I'm not seeing it against the CPU.

The AI feels more human-like than before and less scripted. Dunno if we'll see variety between how teams play but I'm seeing a huge amount of variety within the matches. No goals scored have been anything alike.

Really, really, really digging this demo (hated last year's). Hopefully EA don't screw this up.

How are your AI defenders? I see in the video that his defenders actually came back to help him and tracked back to defend inside the box pretty quickly but would always switch and go for a quick tackle. That was my biggest issue last year. I felt like I couldn't count on any teammates to be competent and make a tackle or get an interception. With teammate contain they would pressure but rarely take the ball unless gifted it. Would like to hear your thoughts on it.

Is the broadcast camera more zoomed out like in years past, last year it was too close. Any response on this would be appreciated

almost 2 games in and still no hand ball. could be early but ... jeez.

Is there a setting for handballs in the demo? Because if there isn't, I wouldn't be worried yet. Handball calls are off by default, so if there's no visible setting for it there won't be any called.

One detail I absolutely love.
You can see exactly how much added time has passed, I LOVE that. Dunno why, it's pretty irrelevant, but it means a lot to me.

Has anyone noticed how human the CPU is looking in that first video? They try lots of diferent passes and the dribling is awesome! No more super agility moves impossible to track, it´s like CPU now has to use space in a smart way, just like humans. Very very good! CPU players have way less agility, specially the less tecnhical ones, now they can´t change direction at superspeeds, wich makes it better to defend. Really enjoying what I´m seeing!

I would just like to say that I don't like any of you that have the demo! Lol, it's truly pathetic that I'm waiting on and this excited to play a demo. As always thanks for the impressions.

Good catch! It was annoying having to estimate those final minutes and having the whistle blow on you.

Is that specific to the Bundesliga matches?

Game plays much better than FIFA 15. AI offense and defense are smarter. I'm having a heck of a time breaking down the defense even on pro. Scored two goals in five games so far.

FIFA has so many fundamental flaws and your first impression is "no handballs"?

Love the way it plays on WC, slow. AI is much better on the whole, and the midfield play is refreshing. Concerns about fouls are erased. Can't wait for the full version.

One small thing, looks like the overall visual quality was dialled back a bit. Probably a compromise to keep the game running at 60fps while properly applying AA this year. Still, overall, it's a solid step down from other EA Gen 4 titles.

I've never played a FIFA game on slow. What's the benefit of changing this setting? I'm curious.
