Adaptive Difficulty

I've been playing FIFA on PC for several years now, and I was perusing through the initfs_Win32 file for the game. I came upon the adaptive difficulty if anyone wants to see exactly why the game plays differently under certain conditions. Cheers.

Should be as simple as opening the file in notepad, changing it, and saving. With all due respect to the opinions of others, I actually kind of like that it's in the game. Though, I am glad that I know what the conditions for it are and why it's happening.

Re: Adaptive Difficulty

it may be nice for casual gamers that are tied to preset difficulty levels and just want to pick the game up and play. but for people like us that like to go a bit hardcore and fine tune difficulty with sliders, this is just an extremely unrealistic way to force games to end in draws or close scores more often than they should. momentum in sports actually kinda work in the opposite way of what these codes do.

besides all that, it's an immersion killer. i'd hate to be playing and thinking "oh, i scored two goals, now it's time for the cpu to automatically start playing better".

Re: Adaptive Difficulty

This is similar to the "ice tilt" in NHL series, yet "it doesn't exist" they say.

Yeah just for the hell of it I'm going to turn it off to see if it makes any difference in career mode.
