Granted, I didn't try anything tactically, but that's where I see a lack of purpose, still. AI teammate defending. Are you guys seeing AI teammates not be useless? I still don't concede a ton of goals, but as BL8 pointed out, I have to do all the work on World Class, taking control of every player on my defense to be sure they don't over-commit or give up position to the CPU attack.

I went back and changed it to Legacy defending just so I could control my teammate pressure. That way I can actually play off-the-ball and not to have to worry about controlling everyone.

Other than that, I am not nearly as excited as everybody else. They got rid of precision dribbling, too, so now I just feel like I'll get the ball nicked from my feet the same way I did in FIFA 15. How does one...dribble? I don't need to do anything other than keep the ball at my feet when the CPU becomes magnetically attracted to me. E.g. Messi shouldn't have the ball ripped from him easily by crap defenders. I used precision dribbling in years past and refuse to learn Street Fighter dribbling combos.

I was struggling with dribbling too at the beginning until I discovered the new precision dribbling. Just hold R2 and run with the ball or walk with it. You can also tap or hold L1 at full speed to fool the defender. Dribbling is actually better than last year. Hazard is a beast.

Player movement was the main thing I noticed. Felt sluggish. Not as fluid. Players making jerky movements, and backing away from the ball. There appears to be way less magnetism in 16 than there is in 15. The cpu was not building up play. Obviously not back passing or switching play. Defenders all doing that sideways giddy-up animation instead of actually running. It just didn't feel as good as the 16 demo. There is a lot of improvements to motion/animation and overall feel of the players in 16.

Dortmund also shoots from distance a lot, especially Michitaryan or whatever his name is. I really don't have that issue at all playing against the cpu. In FIFA 16 They have scored me lots of goals from outside of the box. Only changed first touch and pass speed sliders, the others remain as the default ones.

Ya I'm not sure where people are getting that there is no distance shooting by the cpu. Every game I've played the CPU has shot from distance at least once. I played a game just now where Suarez took a chance from about 33-35 yards out. He almost made it too.

A bit off topic here, but will this game feature progressive lighting, or will it be the same 'time of day' at the start and finish of matches?

MLB TS does this amazingly well...

Anyone else finding the winning of headers off corners a bit too easy and OP? It seems to have gone from one extreme to the other from 15 to 16. Lighting on goal nets at Bernabau is a bit off. Other than that absolutely loving 16 it is awesome. Now please EA don't listen to the fut arcade players who moan it's too slow it is just perfect pace now don't ruin it. Had to scale difficulty back to professional, CPU a much tougher challenge this year

+I'm seeing a lot more fouls
-I had to put CPU pass error to 100 on World Class to get some realistic pass percentages.
