I thought the demo was pretty promising, defending is a lot better in that you can actually take the ball with a decent slide tackle and the defenders don't just watch slow passes roll past them, the fact you can recover from failed slides is great too. Driven passes are sick and should have always been in the game. I don't get how the body feint poo poo works but I probably won't use it, only problem is that in the past Fifas pressing L1/LB made other players sprint forward but I don't think it does that any more?

Just about the constant attacks. I get it, I was annoying and frankly I commend you for having the patience for dealing with my drunken self as long as you did. That's what I was trying to reconcile. I've apologized for that a few times and I mean it. It's just getting old. That's all.

I do suck, I'm two dimensional and really don't play anymore save career mode or whatever. Point proven all you have to do is put my name into that fut website where you can see how skilled your opponents are. I think I got like a D- or something.

Regardless, it's just old and done with.

The knock ahead feature was in previous games. Ronaldo and Aubameyang sprint dribbling shouldn't get caught by Terry.

I know it was in previous games, I'm saying it's actually important now if you want players to run at speed.

I've played for a few hours and I have to say I'm optimistic. Pace has definitely been nerfed which will open up the amount of usable players, in 15 for me Giroud and Falcao were too slow, but now they're usable. Like Hopter mentioned, it's still possible to get a decent run going if you knock the ball on though - your player runs faster without the ball. The variety in shots is decent too now, it seemed like in 15 75% of the shot animations you see were the outside foot ones.

Local memory editing hasn't been patched. This suggests that disconnect-glitching will still be possible in online play so if you're a PC player who wants to play FUT don't expect things to be any better in the higher divisions.

The pace stuff I feel is because you're playing a CPU and not a real person, even last year it always seemed the computer could catch up a lot easier than if a human was controlling the team.

I was super optimistic about 15 I remember because it seemed great in the demo but as soon as it was released all the flaws were reveled through online play.

So far it does seem defending is better, but again, wait til you're playing other real people to get an actual feel (unless you only play offline).

It's super hard to score against the CPU on World Class by the way, harder than 15 for sure.

Same as it ever was, it's only an issue really in division 1 so whatever, my pattern of getting promoted up and then getting myself relegated or failing promotion out of 2 on purpose continues.

e: part of me hopes it's just a demo thing but of all the differences between the demo and the real version, that being fixed is pretty unlikely.


ee: Also yeah, the 15 demo seemed great but playing against the AI and playing against real people is just such a totally different thing, luckily, if the game sucks again, I can just get a refund, praise be to Origin.

The draft thing is totally doing big stars to suck you in again, they'll all be poo poo 99% of the time when the actual game comes out, 4 wins in a row or not... That is my guess.

Nah they wont - the fact it costs 15,000 coins to enter normally, or you can "buy" draft coins with real money means it'll be a real moneymaker for EA

Ah, so to do a draft it costs 15k? The draft is only one round? I haven't looked that much, just played one game last night... it was fun enough but I may avoid it like I planned with UT this year anyway.

A draft is only 1 round for you yeah.

A standard draft is 4 games, but as soon as you lose one it ends. The rewards change depending on how far you get, but theyre supposed to be at least as good as what you pay to enter (which means crap when 2 gold packs would be the same).

One thing I dont know if its been talked about is you can also get loan player packs as rewards, I had a loan messi and got a loan player pack and it had messi in there, but you could combine them rather than having to dispose of one.

Any difficulty? Because you could get packs via tournaments and seasons against the CPU in FUT the past couple years but it was the super hard variety of the CPU that would make you rage.

Alveolar fibrosis don't give a damn.
Yeahhhhh this is really good. Played a few matches on PC and the player control mechanics are much more intuitive than the jump from 14' to 15'. Close control dribbling (L+R shoulder) still seems to mystify the CPU and lead to some cheap goals in and around the box, but being able to dummy a pass through and use space when a team is set up on a high line is painfully amazing when you pull it off. Defending and cutting off a players run to buy time for help or the incoming pass to run out of touch is also really, really, satisfying. That said, just the utilization of space in general, creating it, or finding it from midfield, seems to be a huge focus in 16'- which is brilliant. This actually feels like a "new" FIFA on the control front, where 15' felt like a hard re-balancing of all the things that made 14' feel arcadey and cheap. The FUT changes are hopefully EA responding to people dropping money on coins for 1 mil L33t coinz and never buying packs through the EA store; and too, if they keep the pricing tiers in check, it could actually lead a level of parity in player pricing that FUT desperately needs.

Nope. Not even gonna touch it really. I'm still gonna buy PES and really only playing FIFA 16 beta because it's nice to not have a million players on a market, 2k packs are cheap and worth it (quick selling the pack nets like 1.5k) and between this and World of Tanks I don't play much else. Until the expac of Destiny comes out Sept 15.

Trust me. Those days are long past. I don't drink much if at all, I have a son with another on the way, and don't have the disposable income like before after buying a new house and car.

That would make sense because it would be way too effecient to just farm offline draft tournaments for tons of packs. Like, yeah, you'd put 15k in but get like 50+k worth of packs at the end.
