DRUNKEN FERRET'S FIFA 15 ASSISTED/SEMI SLIDERS

[ASUBoy93]

Can anybody help me figure out how to get my players to run forward? I am playing with Chelsea and have edited their formation and tactic to better suit my play style but off-ball players won't run forward to attack so when I pass it up to either Hazard, Shurrle or Costa the rest of the team (including two of the players I just mentioned) just hangs back and only shift four or five yards in any direction.

The game is great and I feel like for the most part all of my defensive errors are because I am not very good at it but I do also feel like because I can't generate any offense that my defense is suffering more.

Any help would be welcome.

Increase Run Frequency this will give you more support and raise Fullback Positioning for both User and CPU.

I bumped sprint speed and acceleration back up to 50 so that in online games I'm not at a disadvantage (as I'll be used to the slower pace so my timing goes all off).

I found I had to bump run frequency back to 50 otherwise my players just refused to make runs - and I left CPU run at 30. Though, to be honest, I don't notice a huge difference with CPU runs no matter what the setting.

Other than that I also bumped my team passing tactic up to 70 (RISKY) so players made, in my opinion, better movement. At lower (SAFE) levels they just seemed to stick to their marker too much.

Overall, pretty good, but I think the AI auto-balancing is too strong in this version. I struggle against low end teams (I'm playing as Newcastle Utd) yet find games against 5 star clubs either equal, or sometimes too easy (0-0 vs. Chelsea, 4-2 vs Man Utd, 4-1 vs Liverpool). It's very odd.

Great start on the sliders. I've had some very entertaining matches so far with my Luton Town career.

I've been toying with increasing human runs back to 50 as a I think it does give a better game, but also agree tactics are huge, and that people need to adjust for how they play, or want their players to move. I always switch to free-form because I want my players to organically fill space.

As for auto-balancing the issue is this. Lower level teams park the bus, resulting in hard to score games where they string together a few good attacks on the counter, which sometimes results in losses. Good teams on the other hand play more open futbol, and this results in what we think of as fair or easier matches. It's a problem that existed last year as well.

I will say playing lower league sides finally sees them truly outclassed. I beat AFC Wimbledon 8-4...two goals I gave up were due to my laziness, but it was like a walk in the park to score after struggling my first three games in the BPL with Southampton.

So I'm home now, and in the second half of the season now...I'm still getting a widespread of scores, just beat Coventry 3-2 in the FA Cup round of 16. Thought I would destroy them but had to come back from 2-1 down to win the game. Currently second in the league, but the top five teams are all within 4 points so anything could happen.

Right now I'm really enjoying the feel of the game.

Am I the only one not earning points right now? I know it is a widespread problem but was just curious as to how widespread. Pisses me off, because I have rules for using points in CM, especially for Takeovers, and no points means I may not have the points to do it in the summer...which will kill my chances in the CL. Oh well.

I see comments have slowed down, so just thought I'd ping everyone to see how things are going.

Just noticed Orion sliders line width have changed to 25/25 for a more compact line at the back. Wondered if you think this is worth tinkering with?

I have also noticed this mate myself never seem to gain any points even though i have won the league and champions league only way i could get points is by playing the games off the week.
