In the case of the demo it's high eighties to low nineties. This affects so much from defending to cpu attacking, to top, and as a result the player's ability to gain the ball to attack. Last year cpu passing also affected cpu attacking and shooting. Not noticing this in the demo, so that would be a plus if pass error can be increased, but the cpu can still mount solid attacks.

Ya, but this is a 4 min half demo. I would expect the stats to be crazy. I'll save judgment on that stuff for the final product. When I can play 10+ min halves.

valid point. it just doesnt seem like it will change by much IMO, maybe by 3-4% but i could certainly be wrong, will hold judgement til full release of course, but i do feel like passing has always been rather high percentages of completion for the AI in all fifas. just my opinion.

No, I agree completely, hence I'm not going slider crazy, but as we've said even with this, it is an easy fix. Ideally I'd like a game that plays well with 8 minute halves, managed to after a few months get 14 to play well on 10min halves, so I have more hope this year than last.

I agree it ain't bad if you're unsure of things, but whenever I leave it, the player switches when I don't want it to, resulting in BADDD things.:0

last year i was unable to find a good set of sliders to play on legendary with 10 minute halves, i had to play 15 which for me was just too long, i didnt have much time to get through as many games as id like. i hope to see some sliders this year that will allow me to use 10 minute halves so im hoping i can possibly steal whatever sliders you use!

Listen.. if people can't tell what difficulty they are playing on - it's totally meaningless going crazy like "my AI teammates are not defending" and "I've scored 4 out of 5 long shots WTF!".
But hey - are you on Legendary or Semi-Pro???
It's quite important to know before you moan about the gameplay!

Very valid point. Anyone critiquing the defense should at least mention the difficulty they're on, if it's the Liv/City intro match I'm pretty sure it defaults to Semi-Pro. I'm not saying there aren't flaws, but at least this might help nail a few things down.

I am on Pro with no slider changes.

But you have it backwards I think. Every FIFA made up to this point when you played on AM your CPU players were brilliant and the CPU opposing team was brain dead everywhere.

On semi pro your CPU players were brilliant and the CPU opposing team was mediocre everywhere.

On pro your CPU players were competent and the CPU opposing team was competent on D and miserable on attack.

On world class CPU players were a bit crippled and the CPU opposing team was rigid in defense and a little more potent but cheaty on attack (see numerous matches with 1-1 scores where the user has 18 shots and the CPU has 1).

On legendary I never really went there. FUT legendary was enough to turn me off to this difficulty level.

But never have the back 4 been this clueless on PRO in FIFA. And when I point these things out I am not talking about the CPU. I am talking about my CPU controlled players.

Yes, the popular retort is control the defenders. But I am not someone hopped up on redbull flicking around the back 4 player to player herding them about like stray cats making sure they don't mindlessly wander away from the threat that is the ball.

It's pointless to argue this though because it is a demo and we have no idea what the full game is like until next Thursday with EA access. But I am not making this up, I have put up videos that show the CPU controlled defenders getting out of the way of the CPU attacker. This did not happen in prior FIFA's to this frequent degree and that is the main concern for me.

Otherwise I am quite pleased with FIFA 15.
