I have always played all manual except semi passing. Manual shooting is far better but takes awhile to get the hang of. I don't see how you can have manual passing as there isn't time to power up for every pass.

This.

I switched to manual about a month ago, because I was getting bored with FIFA, and decided it was time to change something, and the controls make it more challenging, that's for sure. Will definitely be playing all future titles on manual since it seems to be the way the game was designed to be played.

Re: Manual Fifa

I love manual controls. It's much more challenging, but much more rewarding. You can actually feel the different strengths and weaknesses of each player, whereas in semi or auto mode it felt like every player was capable of doing every pass, shot, etc. Even though it's more difficult to use manual, I find it far less frustrating - on semi the passes wouldn't always be how I wanted them and on manual, it's all on you. I still keep lob passes assisted, but am manual on all shooting and passing. I recommend it highly.

Re: Manual Fifa

I have played all-manual since fifa09.

It is often frustrating ... but it is a much better gaming experience.

Good luck with the adjustment - you will be glad you made it.

Stick with it - it is worth it - it takes time to get used to.

Especially (1) how to weight your passes and (2) aiming at the goal.

Good luck!

Re: Manual Fifa

Switched to All Manual a few years ago when I got bored with the game. Best choice ever, never going back. At first it was the hardest thing ever to get used to(especially shooting and crossing), but now it's natural and very rewarding. It is still challenging at times (passing and shooting ratings are very important on manual, you will see the difference) and I still make mistakes, but it is much better than the unrealistic ping pong assisted controls.
