Check the players instructions the default maybe telling him to come inside.

You can change lots of individual instructions for every player have them do whatever you want. Its quick and easy also.

Only problem is that with fullbacks, there's only one box of instructions besides the interceptions one. The 3 options in the other box are "always overlap", "balanced", and "stay back while attacking".

I'm loving this demo. They appear to have fixed a lot of things, but the thing that has me most excited are the player models and their movements. Maybe it's not perfect, but the players' movements are more lifelike. Far and away better than FIFA 15's players. I feel like the slow dribbling options are much more practical.

Other than the fullback issue that was just mentioned, it seems like instructions work better. Again, maybe not perfect but it's nice that my holding midfielders don't sprint forward and clog up my attacks. And I'm seeing my forwards press the back line with more intensity.

There's really several things, big and small, that have caught my attention and have honestly impressed me considering the sometimes lack of detail evident in FIFA 15. The CPU intelligence is obviously miles better. The CPU teams I'm playing against look like they actually have a plan other than running with the ball until a pass opens up. I'm not seeing the Seattle Sounders play like they all graduated from La Masia either. The sound of the ball when it's kicked is greatly improved, though maybe I'm crazy and it's been like that for past games. The celebration additions are nice little things that enhance the experience. I love the Bundesliga presentation. The driven pass option is nice, though I need to get used to the new location of the flair button. I'll see a nice opportunity for a back heel and end up rocketing the ball to my player, who's standing mere feet away.

Overall, I'm MUCH more optimistic about FIFA 16 than I felt before the demo came out. Hopefully nothing breaks when they roll the full game out. And hopefully edited instructions/tactics will be used by the CPU in matches. That's my biggest concern for the full version of the game. Well, that and finding out if they've improved player editing/creation, but I've come to expect no additions to that over the years.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the runs made by my CPU teammates...much more intelligent and makes attacking so much more fluid.

The Demo is great. I think the game-play is much improved from last year, not to mention the better visuals and player models as has been mentioned already. Need to fix stuttering issues when using different cameras, but maybe this is due to it being a demo?

If the franchise gets some added depth and complexity, and they fix the youth team/squad issues of the past then this game will be a 10 for me.

If anybody can find a fix for the fullbacks pinching in I'd love to hear it, any ideas for that matter as I find myself banging my head against the wall trying to figure out a solution.

I've tried uping Barca's passing support all the way to the 80's and have seen little to no change. I've even tried manually moving Dani and Jordi out wider in the team sheets, even tried making them wingbacks, nothing is working here

Any other ideas maybe?

Would the Line Width slider alleviate the problem?

Hmm, saw something I've never seen before. Corner kick by my team and I connect with a shot, it hits the crossbar crashes down into the net , clear past the line , the ball spins out and no goal.

Do teams and players play like their real-life selves?
Probably one of my biggest gripes for all EA sports games.
The CPU always seems to play like a group of all-stars regardless of who they're controlling.
