about the driven passing: its great imo. very situation. players do have problems with it at times, and its not accepted cleanly like regular passes most times

Yeah, at first I thought it was OP. Now I'm thinking not so much.

I'm very much enjoying the challenge against the CPU on World Class with default settings. By changing/improving three key things - slowing pass speed and sprint, and upgrading defense - they've made 16 play a much more realistic game of football.

Last year was the first year in about a decade that I did not play CM because of how poor the defensive AI was. This year though could be a good one.

The better players absolutely stand out, and guys like Hazard are a nightmare to try and defend. Build up play is not only rewarded, it's vital. Defenders are too smart and close down too quickly for sweaty football to succeed. I was also happy to see the CPU playing with patience, resetting when they were forced too, and then taking what they were given. That's as far as I'm willing to go though right now. With 4 minute halves and nearly all of the clubs being "super clubs" it wouldn't be fair to try and comment on how tactics would play out over a full match/season/career. I'll keep playing, taking some mental notes as I go along, but I won't even touch sliders until I get 10 full games(15 min halves) or so under my belt with EA Access next week. I just wish Access was on PS4 as well because I despise the XBOne's controller.

I love knowing that you'll have early access to start messing around with sliders.

I feel like the game plays pretty well right now, and sliders can definitely improve it.

Custom Tactic Update

I think there's hope!!

Last night I was able to get Inter to play long passes up front often, and this morning I was able to get Monchengladbach to be more patient and play with more possession.

It's early, but it seems like player instructions on the team sheets will actually work with team tactics this year. To have Monchengladbach play with more possession, I had both strikers set to "target man" so they come short to play the ball, and both of their wide midfielders set to "come short".

This, along with altering team tactics did seem to actually make a difference in how they play. Last night I was annoyed at the "speed" in which they built up, but this morning was better, so I think formation, instructions, and team tactics all work together this year much better.

I also think sliders will help make things not seem as fast. So passes not as fast, and quick ping pong passing have worse accuracy.

I may have to sign up for another year of EA Access.

My goal for today is to put one in from open play.

This sounds promising. One of the biggest gripes I had with 15 was the completely useless nature of the midfield when it came to holding up play. Your holding midfielders were statues, either getting blown by on d or ball watching on offense. No amount of sliders or instructions changed this over the long run.
