50 or 60 losses were simply afk and forfeit - losses to drop the division and I don't even care if you believe this. I not sure if the game tracks thrown games where you give up after kickoff to quit.
So yes, even 44-59 or 44-49 might be bad.
On the other hand I got less than 44 wins because in the first games I won due to rage quits because people just quit playing a 85 team in the first week.
I started with the selecao and bayern münchen suqads but played most games with my korean silver suqad and bronze sweat squads.

You can continue the babyrage, I just found a poll in the german EA Forum where 44% chose "I will spend more than 300 Euro", so I am not a minority of pumping hundreds of EUros/Dollars into this.

And if you want to feel better and own a pack buying fag ingame, add me after release. Wipe my rear end and finish me 8-0.Because I am curious, I wanna watch and learn.
And maybe you will be manly enough to post here if you - despite 0,1% chance because you are pro - will lose, amirite?

Glad I can entertain you so far, goons :D It is funny how all how claim to "not care" just keep on flaming - just to prove how they do care lol.

Basically, no reason this should have ever been reported and people are petty.


Someone reported it probably because they are a big whiny baby and thought the thread was off topic, but FUT is indeed a large part of FIFA 16 (whether that's a good or bad thing) and is absolutely on topic.

All I have been hearing so far about people who have played is that pace isn't a HUGE deal for attacking anymore. Is this true? Because that would be great.

I dont know what was reported but he linked to his reddit thread himself and theres been no one stalking him.

The short version of what is going on is the guy posted to say he's spent $700 on virtual coins to open sticker packs of players, and everyone is making fun of how stupid he is. Then someone checked his online record and it turns out he's really bad at the game. Now he's melting down offering to play people.

Alright, cool. I'm still a little skeeve on bringing in that reddit stuff but whatever. Use your judgment.

From the demo it feels like that, but I haven't been able to 1 on 1 any sprinting honks with Doumbia just yet. We'll know tonight if my silvers get torched. :)

Like I said before, the FIFA 15 AI can mostly keep up pace with you. For instance, with a CB with a 40 rating at pace while you use a 90 pace winger.. but a human trying the same thing will be beaten easily.


I am willing to bet that 16 will be the same way.

I don't play against the AI at all really except perhaps clubs games... Going mostly on what I saw from both game demos and yeah, the way AI Pro Clubs players react a lot of the time.

What you left out in your post Taff was that you play on semi pro, I play the leg, so yes, you can easily outrun them.

You just said you dont play against the AI. And your reply was to someone talking about Doumbia on Ultimate team, not clubs.

I play my career mode on professional when I'm playing with a mate and World Class when I'm on my own. Legendary is boring to play against as its just too perfect. You can still outrun someone with a pacey striker tho.

I'm pretty sure that the only difference between the different AI difficulty levels is the 'gameplay sliders' being tilted in favor of the AI where in the lower difficulty levels it's tilted in favor of the player. The AI is exactly the same only they get massive stat boosts and have a lower chance to make errors. If you're playing offline you can adjust these sliders yourself to the point where semi-pro is as hard to beat as legendary and vice versa.

Not much, no, it's boring, kind of like Legendary.

Just seemed to me that the game gives the AI a bit of a padding on pace because they know they didn't code it well enough to read the game properly to defend pace anyway.

When we get bored of career mode I change the settings so all the shots are 100% accurate and all the goalies are 0% effective at saving shots and then we play a 1v1 seeing who can score most

Sorry guys, I don't play much outside of UT and career mode, so my assessments could be terrible, but i'll let everyone know if I get paced to death this evening and tomorrow. I'm a very methodical crossing player for those who have not played against me and I don't use a lot of pace but I do use a ton of skill moves because of NBA 2k, FIFA, and NHL (all driven by the skill stick, I just ended up getting used to it). This keeps most of my players in position and I keep them on defensive. This is why the CDM I have, Roger, has low/high work rates.

But I hope the game is good defensively. Hopefully I can figure it out. There's no game more fun than a playable non broken FIFA to me.

I have played 9 games in FUT Draft with the Korean VPN unlock and it feels so amazing and smooth. Fifa 16 ownes Fifa 15 in every gameplay aspect, after you got used to the controls. The way you can affect the body movements and also off ball plays is absolutely great imho.

My impressions:
Crossings out of counterplays are highly dangerous.
The Goalkeepers switch between insane Oliver Kahn WC2002 "HOW DID HE RESCUE THAT"-Saves and dumb "clears" to the opponents.
Long Lobs from 35+ Metres transform them into Manuel Neuers who don't even hesitate to leave the box.
Tevez, Neymar, Iturbe and Walcott were sick for me today.
Pace is somehow nerfed and Defence Stats+Phy Stats help blocking 90+ Pace Bolt Sugorrates.
LB+Y is crap compared to Fifa15, you cant spam and abuse it anymore, thanks god.
3-5-2 seems to be an insane formation because of the important passing requirement to build up plays and counters.
4-4-1-1 felt amazing, too.

I already like the way this game "feels".

I read that if you play offline Drafts, it seems that the AI difficulty does not affect the rewards? Anyone who can second this?

Besides the goalie beeing vulnerable against 50 Metre Longshots after kickoffs for "free" corners, you cannot just dribble from kickoff into the box like in Fifa15. I had two dudes trying to force this, but the AI defenders close gaps way better now and their anticipation has improved.

The key is here to turn auto switch off. The millisecond you lose when you get handed a CB still seems to be the best present an agile Attacker can get against you.

I mentioned 50 or 60 thrown games = lost games on purpose to tank divisions earlier.
But on the other hand lets stick to the concept, I am the worst player ever and won 24% because my opponents were afk.
