True but some games are coded better than others.

Totally agree with you... I also think it has to do with individual skill to an extent. If you master a game, so to speak, then you become more aware of AI coded patterns.

Which games are coded best is of course just opinion.

Does EA usually patch new faces into their game?

Yes. Someone said they already saw the scans for Depay and Martial. Don't know if that's been verified.

Really, I am shocked they didn't do it last year since Harry Kan was pretty much untouched last year.

If this is true I am very happy... Because I bet a few others as well are done. Any young Dutch players make me happy as I always try to get that National job in my top teir MM.

Martial is French right?

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere (not been able to find it through search).

Just wondering whether anyone knows what kind of potential created players get in FIFA 16? I've created a few missing players, mostly aged 17-19 and with overalls in the low 50s, and I'm just curious as to how they'll likely develop.

In career mode they don't show "Has the potential to be special" or anything like that, only "Promising player" in the training section - from what I've read that just means training benefits are quicker with them.

This is for a League One team so I don't want them to grow into 80+ overall superstars! 60-70 potential would be perfect.

Do all created players have the same potential or is it more dynamic and influenced by starting overall, etc?

In the past I thought edited and created players did not grow much at all... That said this year if you train them they will grow. Promising Player has to do with quick growth not amount of growth...

If they do not have the Potential to Be Special or any of those on their squad sheet then they will not reach 80+.

I could be wrong on all this but that is my understanding.

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful. I'll probably keep the older ones in the very low 50s and the 16-17 year olds in the high 40s, then. Hopefully that way they won't have potentials over 70+, but if they're looking like being too low I can always use training later down the line to bump them up.

I really like the new layout, it really is a nice game!

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Anyone know why players (Ronaldo), who typically wear long sleeve jerseys for most of the year (or all year round) only wear long sleeve jerseys in the winter? It's almost the opposite of the winter gear bug. The edit screen says "long sleeve", but it is only worn during the winter .

I don't believe this was present in previous FIFAs.

This is a small detail, but something that's noticeable.

Overall, I'm enjoying this year's game.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

While the game has at least changed the layout from 15 to 16 (I swear 14 to 15 had no layout changes) I am someone who plays a lot of MyCareer and I am not impressed like I thought I would be.

The training is a great little addition but I would have liked to see random transfers of your player. I like to take the MLS into Football League 2 and have them work their way up. It would be smart for the Crew to sell me after I am worth $14mil and spend that money elsewhere. Plus it would add an interesting dynamic to the game and the transfer window if you knew there was always a possibility of being sold.

Other than that there is no real depth to MyCareer and much of it is the same as last year packaged in a prettier box.

Oh and I have learned never to play on World Class lol.

Hey guys, I was watching career mode on YouTube where guy played with Bayern. I also play with Bayern. After he scores the goal, there is music in the stadium like in real life. When I play, there is no such thing, so I am interested if that is something you can activate, because I was searching for that, but I couldn't find. Thanks!

"Next thing is that I have seen many complains about that FIFA is scripted. Of course its scripted!! Its a videogame and EA wants us to have..."

I'm completely dominating... only up one nil.. he doesn't even have 1 off target shot yet... 90th minute comes... predictable goal from a corner where my player won't jump or does jump but my opponent doesn't even have to "win" the header... or the ball going through a body part on its path to goal or the game not allowing me to switch defenders.

Or was it even really me that was dominating?

You have to admit there must be something wrong with the game if you start seeing these kind of threads popping up: http://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Dis...ght/true#M1187

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

This game really makes no attempt to hide when its going to screw you. Just got done playing Man City with the Spurs (me), and it was such a frustrating experience because the game decided I will lose this match regardless what happens. My guys literally would mark themselves. Build up play was taking an eternity because my guys would internationally move and give me no passing lanes to get them the ball. When I did finally make it through I witnessed defenders slide tackling my guys from behind . One time they literally went through my guys legs from behind, somehow connecting with the ball first, taking my guy out in the process, no foul, and to top off such stupidity, have the tackle end in a ridiculous feat of physics lob ball going 30 meters down field to their own unmarked man.

Never mind every 50/50 mysteriously going to the CPU. Erikson who would magically develop the ball handling skills of a 5 year old and the turn radius of a Carnival Cruiseliner at the most inopportune time. Kane constantly being ran down but defenders with less pace and with a 10 meter lead.

I turned the game off at the 75 minute mark still 0-0 when a perfect through ball got me in a perfect 4 on 2 counter attack and Kane, Lamela, and Heung-min who all decided to converge on the exact same CB and ALL 3 jostled with the same player and all fell over at the exact same time.

I had to vent. I rather the game just tell me I lost before I waste time having to endure that again
