Sorry for the double post (but it's been 3 days), but I've definitely decided that as close to default as you possibly can is absolutely the best way to go.

It can be tempting to change seemingly every slider to suit your needs, but in doing so you're drastically changing the fundamentals of the game and how it plays, which is equally as harmful as it is helpful.

I've reduced CPU acceleration by only 1 (so 49), upped injuries considerably as they're far too low on default (but this doesn't change actual gameplay whatsoever) and I've reduced run frequency slightly. That's literally it. I'm having a lot of fun and the game doesn't feel frustrating at all.

I certainly trust myself to know more about how I'd like a football game to feel, but I'd trust game developers a lot more to know how to make a smooth/coherent gameplay experience.

I definitely think I'll start adopting this approach from FIFA 17 and beyond.
