*** The Official Fifa 16 Thread ***

Tired of delay on this in Clubs, never had it any FIFA. I've tried everything, upnp, dmz, port forwarding, but still get a 1 second delay. Give up
 
So... do EA have systems in place to prevent or punish using mouse macros etc? :p

I have to say, and I know that I have been a big believer in scripting/banding/<insert description here> but the way this game plays, with the addition of random passing and first touches, seems to lend itself even more to the belief that the AI is 'siding' with one team. Suddenly their players will control everything that comes near them, will actually start pulling off those stupid lofted balls that simply shouldn't, and generally don't, work. I haven't even lost a game this year, but I think it is already noticeable.
 
Basically touching a player in the area and they go down...penalty. It's ludicrous, you can't even shoulder barge without fouling any more. Also what's with the ref advantages? Or lack of them, it's like NFL with all the stop start. Ridiculous.
 
One point off promotion in seasons, so naturally the game makes all of my passing slower than normal, control worse and everyone running through treacle.

Would put it down to latency, but its four games on the bounce now and getting old.

I wish EA would just admit the scripting and be done with it.

That pass with purpose is trash because first touch is trash lol. It just pings off players. What's annoying me is my players getting swarmed immediately, dribbling feels awful with zero time... but then anyone against me has all the room in the world! gah i dunno i must be awful!

You have to anticipate the drilled pass by holding LT to control it. Works a treat.

Yea some of these are really annoying. I had one penalty given where a player literally ran into my defender after he had made a cross... so the opponent did not even have the ball, after he ran into my defender he fell over and got given a penalty.... I just sat there in complete disbelief.

Honestly I enjoy this game so much.... offline. The career is great and the game play feels so good. But I really do not think it is suited for the slightly faster FUT mode. Maybe it's just going to take some used to but some of the passes really do make you rage ! :p I know some of the times I try to pull off passes that would have worked in 15 but you just can't do that anymore. But it’s when you play a square ball between two players facing each other and rather than the ball being passed in a straight line it veers off towards the right of left and as such you lose the ball is rather annoying. I don’t know what’s up with that. Doesn’t happen all that often but enough for it to be of notice. I could understand it if you are using bronze players or a team with no chem. But a full gold team of "good" players with full chem should be able to play square balls properly.
 
The passing is annoying me quite a lot not, I was running back towards goal with my left back, on the wing, he had a player about 3 feet behind him, I did a 3/4 power ground pass back to the keep and he fell as he played it and only kicked the ball about 5 feet, ready for the attacker to run on to.

At times it's just not fun.

I'm currently struggling to get out of Div 6, compared to winning Div 1 multiple times last season.
 
its always hard when you first start a new version - you probably knew what easy things work (near side keeper etc) and how to play the game fifa 15 style

Fifa 16 is a completely different mindset and will take some getting used to
 
I found an old screenshot from FIFA 15 with a similar number of games played, so a similar time since release, and my record is awful compared to then. The passing and the players feeling like they're turning in treacle is what's killing me right now. Try to play quick = lose the ball, try to slow down and pass it around = eventually get caught in possession because my players are ****ing slow.
 
im struggling the same as you with the new version - fifa 15 seemed a lot closer to fifa 14 than 16 to 15 - so that's probably why u did better...

Ive won aprox 18 games online drew 2 and lost 1 - but each game is a hard slog.

Players seem to always miscontrol the ball
Players seem easily to be caught up
Opponents seem to have mastered the art of shirt pulling to gain ball or slow you down and not foul - which is the most annoying!
Thru balls are completely useless now even if you think that it should work - players seem to miraculously slow down / speed up to intercept...
There seems to be always 9 or 10 people behind the ball so its a right slog to make space and actually attack... if too slow then the defence is packed and you cannot do anything really...

Im pleased that you actually have to point the right direction to pass and shoot but they need to tweak so passes in the right direction actually go there... (instead of pressing pass when facing away and the guy spins around and does a pin perfect pass or long thru ball!)
 
18-2-1, doesn't sound like you're struggling at all! :p

I managed to win a game at lunch, dominated the game but only scored 1 goal and it felt like a real slog. I'm finding it much harder to create chances.
 
I'm getting used to the passing, I'm just **** scared of tackling in the box meaning they usually dribble round my players with ease to score.

SS, I was 13-2 on this one now I'm like 40-25 :p

I had 100 wins before getting 20 losses in 15...times a changin!
 
passing isn't too bad if you slow down, aim, and direct - but it still can sometimes go awry and definitely intercepted if you don't aim intelligently....

SS same as me each game feels like a boringish slog and hard to break teams down.... not enjoying it as much as earlier fifas...
 
Anyone had experience with BPL strikers, currently using Bony and Remy, if there are better out there please share.

On another note Darmian is probably my best buy, plays really well at the back
