Seriously, play on legendary

[Resurrection403]

So I've been on legendary for a couple games and its a way better ai than vs world class. world class is like playing a robot, legendary is difficult but in a fair way. use the sliders to make your D a little better, add some passing error to the cpu, and you have a recipe for a very good experience.

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

I have to agree with this.

I was seriously starting to get annoyed on World Class, the CPU just passing it around endlessly with a 95% pass completion rating.

Set it to Legendary and it is much better. Still difficult as expected, but like you said, a lot more fun and fairer than on World Class.

I'll have to give Legendary a try. I've been having the same frustrations with the CPU endlessly passing the ball back and forth with 70% possession.

The biggest issue with Legendary is the AI's perfect ability in tackling and pass interceptions. Their awareness and reaction time to everybody is almost spot on every time it seems.

I played 15 throughout on legendary and I'm playing 16 on legendary. It's incredibly difficult but such a challenge and ultimately it's a truly superb experience.

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

What kind of slider adjustments are you making? Like this approach as well.

Interesting... I've usually played on legendary but hadn't even attempted it this year because World Class is such a bitch!

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

just wanted to check back in and say that this is some of the very best video gaming ive ever had.

if legendary is still hard for you, increase cpu first touch error to 65, cpu passing error to 65, and reduce their acceleration by 1 below yours. these are the biggest modifiers, i find, to make things easier

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

I agree completely resurrection, I've got about the same slider set up you do and it's been great so far. The ManU career mode is going well, top of the table after 12 games. The Newcastle Career mode is going better than real life but not by much. Scores are actually matching real life in most games, kind of crazy how good this FIFA actually is on legendary.

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

I was struggling on World Class until I read this topic.

Changing it to Legendary really does help! It seems like their Defenders are a little more aggressive so it actually makes it a little easier since they will sometimes pull themselves out of position. It's a nice change from them parking the bus.

I was nervous at first to actually change it but it really does seem to work. I was using the OS Community Sliders and after changing it to Legendary I know I can start my CM now

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

7-8 games into my Career Mode as ManU on Professional (default sliders) I was winning every game so realised I need to up the difficulty. I'd tried a couple of games on world class but found the same issues everyone else does with CPU possession behaviour. I've changed to Legendary and played three games, lost to Chelsea 0-1, drew with Southamption 0-0, Lost to Sunderland 0-1. So I haven't scored a goal yet, but CPU scoring seems reasonable.

I'm looking to make things slightly easier, am I likely to see that with the OS sliders, or should I just slightly decrease CPU Goal Keeper?

Other than not being able to score a goal in nearly an hour of play, Legendary is near perfect.

I'm glad I found this thread. World Class was so cheap, but legendary is difficult without being ridiculous. Love it.

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

This post is legit. It should be stickied.

Legendary, with slider edits, is the best way to play the game. Seriously plays more simulation, and it gives the gameplay a truly organic feels that has been lacking from FIFA over the last couple of years.

Couple of caveats: keepers must be adjusted to 15-20 range, and both pass error and first touch errors have to be increased to 60s.

Are those the only edits you made?

Also (random), out of curiosity, what camera settings do you use?

Re: Seriously, play on legendary

Hey guys new here. I've been following a few of the posts here in the sliders forum and I'm glad I found this one. I was using Pro and this year I started wrecking the PL so I tried WC and like others said before... Heck I even tried PES16.
Since moving to Legendary I used the suggested sliders at the beginning and ended up moving the AI's marking down to 44, I'm still not quick enough to get away from even poor defenders. So far this has helped me get more then 2-3 shots off per game. I also moved the first touch to 75 for the AI and 65 for myself. I find it adds more air in the game and a better possession split.
In 3 games I've only managed one goal so I'm going to try the 15/15 for the goalies. Are you guys seeing higher scoring games with these? I don't mind 2-3 goals a game total, but I don't want to see 6-7 goals a game.
