Lob pass must be on manual if you want to have total control where to pass. Otherwise the game decides the target man of the long ball. Ofc you have to disable the passing power assistance also.
Manual controls are more accessible this year and the learning curve isn't that steep.

imo you are fine leaving defaults controls except turn player switching to air balls if not default

and lob pass to manual.. but like fearwhatnow says this FIfa is easier to get the manual controls down except for shooting for me. I can hit the target in a match with manual shooting to save my life.

I have played this game with assisted controls semi crossing and manual lob pass and that works fine for me as well and don't feel to heavily assisted to me. I'm going to try semi tonight on pass and shoot though which I haven't yet.

alls I know is the one setting everyone should have set to manual is lob pass because it will frustrate the hell out of you if you don't use that. it will never go where you want it if you don't do this

I also turn analog sprint off.. but that is just user preference really.. some probably love that. I don't

overall just play with what feels best to you.. but from my experience the lob pass seems broken if not set to manual...

Wow. Easily the best FIFA game ever made. Takes me back to the first time I played WE11 and felt a huge breath of fresh air.

The ONLY thing I'm seeing that I don't love are the high pass completion percentages. But I feel like I just hate seeing it in the stats that way because I don't really notice it so much during gameplay.

I feel like my players feel a little clumsy at times in the way that they receive passes. I understand what EA is trying to do here and I applaud the effort because it makes the game feel more true to life but sometimes it feels a little overdone.

I've quickly learned to lay off the sprint button.

All in all though - seriously the best FIFA I've ever played and PROBABLY the best sports simulation I've ever played too. I've had some moments where I jump up off the couch with excitement. This game has brought the fun back.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I am loving it. I love that pace doesn't rule the world anymore. I like having to re-learn the correct way of passing and mixing up the types of passes to use. Though the AI's perfect passing is annoying. When they finish with like 88%+ sucks. I am only on pro right now getting used to everything. But when i bump it up to WC and Legendary I will mess with the sliders.

pro is the difficulty i'm having my most enjoyable games with so far.. maybe because I'm not good enough yet

pro is not bad at all if you ask me

Yeah pro is very enjoyable as I feel the star players shine much more on that difficulty. The only problem I am have is that I feel some teams don't attack enough, but they are mostly the lower rated teams. Can't really jump it yet but I am leaning more to just tweaking sliders on that difficulty and sticking with it.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I cannot for the life of me understand why EA continues year after year to be unable to fix match rating in Be A Pro mode. It's been broken for so long i can't even remember anymore. I hate busting my butt all game and watching my rating continuously drain and drain away because i may be 1 foot out of position. Seriously EA do away with this all together or fix it. It's not how it works, otherwise no player ever would get over a 4.0 rating.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

As I have said, I love this game. Amazing football.

My small complaints:

1) Some red jerseys are on the pink side, Man United is good example..

2) funds in MM.... kinda early in but not exactly what I say..

3) the women's tournament is a blast... but why can we not customise it to play everyone twice or at least twice everyone in group... I get it is set up like a WC but couldn't EA have let us build a custom tourney..

What I love:

1) Gameplay! this makes everything else no big deal... much better ai and pace

2) Winter gear fixed!!!

3) new weather

4) summer friendlt tourneys

The way the CPU plays is so amazing. So many different scoring attempts against me than any other FIFA

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Now, I wish there was a way to make everyone press and try to dispossess the ball handler when they are in the final attacking third.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I have always played on world class/legendary, but this year I'm down to Pro and really enjoying it. I put it on slow with almost default sliders, I just put sprint down to around 35 for both and upped the CPU marking a bit. Games are playing out really well and it's challenging.

On another note, I've gotten called for a couple of VERY cheap penalties and some that there was literally no contact to be seen. Anybody else have this?

Hi there
really glad you are enjoying it on PRO.
Instead, offline (PRO difficulty - slow speed), patched version, i find it very easy to go to the shooting in the last third.
The CPU does not press too much, even if marking slider is set about 75
Team defense is too passive and players are not reactive as it should.
May you post your sliders settings?

World Class is too difficult and frantic for me.
Thanks
p.s.
Me too also I'm experiencing too many cheap penalties

World Class is definitely frustrating to me and sliders does not seem to change how incompetent your teammate are on that difficulty. I do like Pro a lot better but the CPU not attacking enough makes it too easy. I'll might just have to see what I can come up with with sliders on pro.

In my last preseason match (10 min, pro) I upped the cpu runs a bit to give them some more attacking movement. I ended with 8 shots to their 7. I lost 1-0.
