FIFA 16 Demo Available Now For Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, PC

The game still has all the problems of 15 on Legendary.

It's def an improvement. Love the angles and curves of the ball trajectory feels like you have good control over it.

Anyone noticing if CPU is taking shots from multiple areas around the pitch? Outside the 18 for instance?

I can't help but wonder how many of the people who get in these demo threads and explain why they're so disappointed and won't be buying the game actually follow through on that? 25%?

On another note, I thought the demo played well. Still need to dive a little deeper, but it shows improvement and it's still the best option available in terms of soccer games. Looking forward to the 22nd.

Fifa seems to be much better than PES this in regards of gameplay but it's still not the football I'm expecting. I guess I'll skip both of them games. NBA 2K is still state of the art when it comes to individualty of players and almost perfect simulation of sport.

Yeah I don't know what is going on here. The same control stick method last year which could bring one in around the 6 box but bend it realistically toward the penalty spot or kick it to the spot but swing it to the 6, it's not doing it much at all.

I have watched replays and the ball tracks straight.

Same on FK's. I had a nice opportunity with aubameyang last night from just outside of the box and instead of it bending from my start point the ball tracked on an angle, straight.

It's like this \ instead of )

goldfinger35 from Evo-Web sitehave modded the database of FIFA 16 Demo and here are his first impressions (15 min halves, Legendary):

Positive
-Gameplay is slower. I even switched to normal speed (in previous fifas I used slow).
-Agility of players was toned down. They have more weight.
-Tackling is better
-Midfielders intercept more passes
-First touch is better
-AI pressures more
-AI play better defending, covering empty space and blocking your wingers
-If you outrun AI player, he will try to foul you (finally!)
-There are more fouls (I average 10 per match)

Negative
-Shooting is weird sometimes. Some shots (especially volleys) fly like cannonballs
-Headers are overpowered
-Too many shots hit the posts (2 per match)
-Corners are again too easy to defend/too easy to score. Also, defenders are still out of position (in attack)
-Night lighting is dull
-I have won a penalty but even after ten replays I didn’t find out why
-My players sometimes make the no-look pass

Yes, especially if the player has the "Takes long shots" attribute.

If you play against Dortmund you'll most likely see Mkhitaryan take some shots from outside the box.

Anyone else finding that the difficulty levels higher than Pro don't feel right?

I had nothing but enthusiasm for this demo when playing at Pro difficulty, but since moving up to World Class, and also trying Legendary, it's really pissing me off. Pretty much all my games on the higher settings end in 0-0 draws with the CPU dominating possession 60-40 but not doing much with the ball, while it's near impossible to get the ball from them.

And while I'm happy that the backline defending is now solid after last year's fiasco, I'm still disappointed with how unhelpful my defenders can be at times. They still stand around too much for my liking and it drives me nuts when they're with a couple feet of a dribbler and don't react on their own. This is all exacerbated by imo contain and teammate contain being worthless on the higher diff settings.

Overall, there's a lot to love with this demo but I'm seeing the rough edges now. I'm looking forward to the full release but it'll be interesting to see how EA refines and tweaks the demo code.
