    - The ball looks like a size 3 youth ball. I have literally no idea what they were thinking this year, but it looks tiny. Stupidly tiny.

    - ball physics are the worst they have been in many years. Everything is either magnetized or erratic, like the ball is predestined to go somewhere and therefore takes very strange routes getting there, whether it is speed or lack of it, etc.

    - this is my biggest problem by far: ANIMATIONS! whether they are standing still or running, the players arms and legs move way too damn fast, it looks preposterous!

    Again, no sliders will fix any of these things. If anybody would find it useful, I would be happy to provide a video, but really, what's the point?

    In fact I bet there is still the gamebreaking "bursting" problem when you lower the acceleration slider. That's probably why they didn't put sliders in the demo, to hide it from us.

      One thing I actually think I'm going to do this year - is avoid this (or any other for that matter) forum too much for the first few months after the game's release.

      No offence to anyone of course! I just feel it's natural on any forum for people to mention things that weren't bothering you at all, you to then notice those things, and for them to subsequently drive you mad too. Not to say they aren't usually perfectly fair and valid observations, but obviously having a collective list of things wrong with the game is going to be worse than just having your own individual list.

      I'm going to give it until maybe...November? sorta time playing the game 'blind'. Purely finding things out at my own pace, experimenting with sliders myself to find the most enjoyable game and then perhaps trying to be a bit more active on here if I find any flaws that I just can't fix myself. Otherwise I think I'll just be looking out for things that other people have mentioned before I've even received the game in the post myself.

        November is perfect. By that time, EA would've released the 3rd patch

          Yesterday, I was Bayern playing against Chelsea and they just killed me. The issue was that they went up 3-0 and continued to attack me as if they were trailing! Ended up losing 4-0 to them. Well, actually, I rage quit at 4-0. We all know how Chelsea plays when they get a lead. It's "park the bus city." Heck, ANY team would have parked the bus with THAT lead. Sure hope the logic gets fixed, because that was pretty pathetic.

            That's exactly what I"ve been saying this past week about the AI, once they gain the lead they continue to attack (harder than normal) as if they're behind.

              This is a video one of my subscribers directed me towards. I thought it was interesting that the CPU played this way when he was only controlling his forwards. Could this be the spatial analysis feature at work? CPU is only "aware" of where the player's cursor is currently selected?

                  Yes, that's a given. However, it should breed some discussion that depending on where the cursor is, the CPU may not see it as a threat, thus choosing to make these safe passes. Another part, and I'll test this later, this could be confirmation that tactics do work. It would make sense as I personally defend the CPU by controlling only (as much as I can of course) my CDM or CM.

                    Look at you, always positive Matt! I love it, I hope you're right. I'm getting the game no matter what but would like some of those small things working correctly out of the box.

                        This has been the case for a long time, Im surprised it just now seems to have garnered some attention. The CPU only reacts to where your cursor is. Try this, when the cpu has the ball spam the switch player button and slide tackle repeatedly amd watch the CPU have a meltdown.

                          Not necessarily, I've done the whole approach with FIFA 16 as well. Just left a forward to run around while I don't switch. The CPU plays the same way, just as direct. This is definitely different, but not sure if it's a good thing. It's more about finding where the control can come from.

                          I'm intrigued though to try slide tackling off the pitch, will give it a go .

                            Disappointed in the demo, but then again I really didn't enjoy the demo for FIFA 16 and the full game was much better.

                            Same awful shooting animations, and even worse ones for penalties now, same cheesy difficulty settings which rely on making your players stupid or their players psychic to account for user skill.

                            Played on professional and won 6-0 played on the level above and I'm conceding 60% possession and lose one nil on their only shot.

                            I only buy FIFA to play online and with my friends anyway, because the game has literally zero enjoyability vs the CPU. Its practically unplayable.

                            Was very impressed by the Journey though and I'm excited to see where the story goes, especially if I choose to sign for Middlesbrough or Hull.

                            Don't know if there has been a confirmed answer anywhere coz google is no help but can we actually change Alex Hunter's hair style? This dude's mash up hairline is annoying.

                            Likewise I never play with shirt tucked in, and I want to choose my own boots. If EA don't let us even change those things I'm gonna be pissed.

                            Additional BS to note:

                            Played as Inter and the referee still had a kit that clashed with mine. The luminescent socks of Inter matched perfectly with the refs socks and his shirt. The fact this issue is still here after FIFA 16 when they said they patched it and didn't change ****, is incredibly frustrating.

                              this is actually a good thing. they could smell blood, and so often games are dull affairs on FIFA vs CPU purely because tactically they retreat and can't respond to the onslaught.
