I have direct passing is very hard, keeping possession even harder. maybe have to learn more. i have been playing with a straight forward style in fifa 15.

Are you using the RB/R1 button for every pass? You shouldn't be doing that for every pass. That could be your problem. Those direct passes are meant for weighted passes into tight spaces, or to get the ball across a large distance quickly. For normal passes you should just be using A/X without any modifier.

If you are not doing that and still having problems, try going into the sliders and setting your pass error lower than 50 to see if that helps you.

Here's what I can gather so far. I'm 8-1-0 and have only allowed 2 goals in 9 games online. Scoring is down a TON this year, period! The game plays a lot slower than years past.

Careful Passing is by far the most important aspect of the game. Turnovers seem to be rampant w the new passing system. The difficulty lies w the power not being as assisted as in the past.

One of the biggest and most blatant things I've noticed is that the speed threshold is TERRIBLY low! Speed doesn't kill at all, and it's a MAJOR bug. I'm talking 100% of the time on a dead sprint, the likes of

Walcott, Bale & Ronaldo getting chased down by ANY defender ALL of the time. It's clearly broken and needs to be fixed. Speed is totally neutralized in a terrible way (something that didn't happen in the demo)

This mainly effects co/op as well (which I played w a buddy. We went 5-1-0, and PLENTY of BS saves by the computer made it a nightmare in some games.

The defense has been cranked up to an ungodly level! It's out of hand how overpowering it is now. After reading impressions online, its common place now for 3 goals in a game to be a rarity. I haven't scored more than 3 in a game yet!

I'm so happy w the way the demo played, but the retail copy so far (which did get a patch update when I installed it, needs some work)

Correct.

They have done an amazing job with this title but this is currently broken and has to be fixed. If you outplay someone they shouldn't be bailed out by any cb chasing down every player. It's definitely broken.

They fix that and it's pretty much perfect.

They can patch all they want for online, but this is perfect for offline MM. They better not touch any of this for us. Those things you have issues with is what we love about it.

Totally understand where you're coming from. And I agree, I'm in love with the game this year, but for the sake of realism, the speed MUST be adjusted.

The FIFA series so heavily dependent on speed affecting the game so much more than real life, but there needs to be a happy medium found. Having CR7 or Bale constantly hounded down by CBs, is definitely a problem!

Re: FIFA 16 Trial Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Play For 10 Hours

There are people in EA Forums complaining that the cpu defenders close down quickly their attackers...

Re: FIFA 16 Trial Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Play For 10 Hours

The "midfield battles" in this game are just a bunch of errant passes. Especially by the CPU. It seems like they just pass it right at my defenders sometimes. Even if they have a perfectly open back pass.

Another thing they've yet to fix is the handball stuff. Even with it on the CPU will fling itself atca shot like a possessed ragdoll and manage to block a shot with its hand, wrist, arm, shoulder and it won't get called. My defenders, on the other hand, not so lucky.

The CPU AI, by and large, still defends as if magnetically tied to your player. Mirroring every moment of the joystick. It's been like that for as long as FIFA has been around, so I guess I shouldn't complain, and I wouldn't if it were just the Boatengs, Silvas, and Piques of the world, but again even the Maya Yoshidas have the speed of a cat and the reflexes of a mongoose ...

im not sure what level you play against the cpu but on world class and higher the cpu plays quite well. setup your passes better if your having issues. last year you could ping passes around without even facing the player your passing to, this year you need the correct power and aim.


on my fut draft squad i had ronaldo and his speed and power was easily noticed when running at my opponents defense. using the knock on while sprinting will help break you away from the defender.


im glad its harder to score this year , last years game on offense was a joke.

I play on Legendary, all manual. I'm not saying the game is too difficult. It plays better than last year's disaster. It's just some of the same issues for the past few years that annoy me. The CPU will still just boot it out of bounds of pressured one on one in their own 3rd instead of passing it to the goalie, seems they've applied that same logic to the midfield.

this is where i feel like im playing a different game. the cpu passes back to the gk for me and builds up from the back. last year if i double teamed a defender he would just boot it out of bounds but this year thats not happening.

wierd

Same for me on all difficulties.

If you crazy pressure them sometimes they will just clear out of bounds. That is realistic though. But if you just realistically pressure a mid or defender they play the ball back and build up. Some wide men if angles are correct cross the ball over depending on your positioning. Again very real football like. At least that is what has happened in all my matches.

Also passing is very much improved. They will not just pass back heel all the time. Basically players pass where they could in a real game. This is why sometimes they do just clear it out of bounds. When that is the only play they have that is what they make. Where last year they could pass or boot it any direction at any moment very unrealistically. The game is way better.

The game is better. At least on the surface. What I'm most concerned with are the sliders and tactics holding up over 2+ seasons, mostly for teams to play differently game to game.

Cpu defenders backpass to their GK. This is a fact. They only make a panicky clearance under very heavy pressure. In FIFA 15 they always went with the clearance.
You can obviously see that EA applied/coded the "Chase the Ball" drill into cpu AI inside the game. This means cpu players are programmed to find the open player in FIFA 16. That's the reason we see backpasses to midfield and to the GK. This ofc leads to high pass % for the cpu but I'd happily take that instead of the "always forward" and psychic dribbling mentality.
That new improved AI coding has immediate impact on the build up and that's why it's the first time we see the cpu midfield build up in a FIFA game.
That said, your defensive approach should be more tactical and focused on covering space and go for the ball when you feel you have closed down enough the cpu attack. This is the main reason I use LEgacy Defending because it gives me the opportunity to play off-ball and send my teammates to tackle the ball and not just contain.
