Troubling assessment, and you lay out many of my least favorite EA Sports tendencies with this franchise, *especially* when it comes to gimping my players to be slower/weaker than the CPU.

What do you mean "faster than your players" because if you're insinuating that the CPU players have some sort of speed boost not ratings related then I completely disagree, and come release will prove it with video evidence. You can slow the CPU, stay goal side and defend, cut passing lanes, and retain your shape(as best you can anyway). As I came to grips with the fact that you can no longer spam the X button and then tackle, defending became much more rewarding and became about forcing bad passes etc.

Just had Aguero go down with a broken leg first friendly match of the pre season. He's out for 6 months!

Agreed orion,

You know what spamming the X and B buttons did for me? Playing as Man City, 3-0 Chelsea at HT.

At least the transfer market is still open to bring in an affordable replacement. unless you disabled the 1st window...

i feel the same way.. I held my own in FIFA 14 but online im getting smoked..its like all the guys are wayyyy faster than me

I think there is something to the CPU being a bit faster to the ball than the USER, even if the USER plays the passing lanes properly. They aren't faster by much, but enough to impact the game. I'd set the CPU sprint speed AND acceleration at 1 tick lower than the USER. I've been doing that since FIFA 13 and I think it helps balance the play.

So I noticed that my Fifa 14 pro clubs "pro" was imported for me on first load of FIFA 15.

which also imported my high socks on my pro... I hope this remains the case as I was not looking forward to doing the whole gifting ordeal again just for my high socks.

although I didn't play as my club mates haven't gotten back from work, hoping that it doesn't default my player back to normal height socks when I first join an actual match.

also randomly happened to have loaded my longsleeve undershirt as well, don't mind having that but once I unlock regular long sleeves I'll switch back.

cool if it doesn't default.
