Can't wait until Tuesday to pick this up a lot of good impressions!

For those that have played online matches (non FUT or clubs), so basically friendlies and seasons, does stamina matter?

Yes, even moreso this year. Do NOT hold down the turbo button unnecessarily or you will be paying for it.

Ok. But when should you hold it down? How else do you keep up? I have to use it when the CPU keeps passing the ball around.

In fact, any defensive tips would be helpful.

Thanks, hopefully they don't patch it up. Hated that people could full out press for 90 minutes and still have the stamina to sprint away in the 95th for a winner.

How do you play defense without holding down turbo?

Tips, please. Thanks.

Hold your formation, try to predict where the ball will go and close the passing lanes. Just chasing after the guy with the ball doesn't work this year.

In FIFA, I think you have to look at it as defending space until the opportunity arises to close down a man. By doing this, you can methodically force the CPU into making bad decisions. Constantly chasing will not work, as a matter of fact it'll get you killed as the game wears on. I know this description is pretty vague and I apologize, but I can't think of a better way to describe it.

This does help. Thanks for the insight.

Ok. I will start trying to do this in the demo for practice. Thanks so much.

I think the bigger problem is that humans are programmed to call for a pass as soon as the AI gets the ball.

For me, anyway, it's all about spacing, passing lanes and player switching. You might notice on TV, when teams are defending in numbers, they'll organize in two rows of 4 (or something similar) to pressure the ball handler and watch passing lanes. I try to do the same thing in the game and it helps.

Simeone says his method to defend is pressure where it counts, they can't score from their own end. You pressure and pressure on your half/final 3rd of your field. If they score a wonder goal so be it, but as long as you defend your final 3rd you will create turnovers and counters.

Thanks. This is good information for me.

playing the demo i agree to stop chasing. let the cpu make mistakes. it will happen. sometimes they will score, so be it.

i hated to listen to that advice at 1st. i was like, 'forget this, dont tell me how to play'. but honestly its so much better and it better represents real football. defend gaps and space and pressure only when smart. the cpu will make mistakes just like a person does.

So how is the accuracy of the rosters? Anyone notice anything way off with the major leagues? I assume there will probably be a roster update within first week or so of release, just curious. Thanks.

EA does a good job of keeping rosters up to date - there was already match day rosters current to today.

Right, I just meant is there any notable transfers that aren't updated as of now on early access...I was thinking if the BPL rosters look pretty accurate with youth and transfers done then I might start the career mode now rather than waiting for any updates in a week or two.

No, rosters are accurate as long as you download the latest when starting the career.

Youth players are in there, the ratings could use some tweaking though.
