FIFA 16 Patch #2 Available Now For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

[PPerfect_CJ]

Played a couple more matches last night in that new MM and I actually had to turn down the CPU marking and acceleration a hair. They were just destroying me defensively. I couldn't get a feel for the keeper, because I couldn't get anywhere NEAR him. Lol! Still holding off TOTAL judgement until I'm able to get 9 or 10 more matches in, but like I said earlier, it's encouraging.

I’m thinking that it may be necessary (although a pain in the arse if you have made progress in MM) to start your MM over from scratch…. Check out the first post in the thread below. @PPerfect_CJ had quite a positive experience thus far and this was on Pro…. Give it a try guys with a fresh MM or even a fresh re-install of the game and check out your results....Cheers fellas!

I was testing it in Play Now so there's no reason I shouldn't be noticing changes.

Play Now is a totally different animal than Manager Mode, tho, so be careful with that. Doesn't SEEM like it should play differently, but it definitely does.

I'm excited, haven't played in a few days so tonight it's on!

I'm a little nervous that they're tweaking the keepers, because honestly I think they're pretty great as is (especially in comparison to the other game out there). Most of all I'm relieved though, after hearing some moron yesterday claiming that the patch essentially reverted the game back to a FIFA 15 clone.

Who are these people and where do they come up with this garbage?

I get that it makes the most sense to test sliders in MM, but for picking up any gameplay changes from a patch, there's absolutely zero reason they wouldn't be evident in Play Now.

It's been said that there's positional changes, changes to the way the AI plays in terms of error, movement and momentum of players... all kinds of things. All of these should be apparent in any mode.

What difficulty are you playing on, and have you adjusted any sliders?

I played a MM game last night (ARS v CP) and it was VERY enjoyable (default sliders, pro difficulty, slow, 10 min halves).

I was playing on pro, default sliders, slow, and 6 minute halves. Found out real quick that I needed to bump the CPU marking and acceleration down to 48, tho. I just couldn't do anything against them until I made that adjustment. I may go up to 7 or 8 minute halves, myself. I'll say this, anytime I managed to make it into the box, their centre backs were ALL OVER ME. They block more shots than the keepers!
