Yeah it happened a bit in 15 but it wasn't that common at all. And when it did happen it felt appropriate.

it did happen in FIFA 15, especially noticeable in pro clubs. also if the shot assistance was turned on past semi.

true of finesse and outside foot shots, tended to happen more on shots right inside the 18. outside the 18 would require you to manually request a finesse or outside the foot, same for point blank shots.

if you play full manual shooting, it should make remove the "auto" use and require you to manually trigger the shot type. however in FIFA16 I did notice the the shot bar by default fills a bit slower than last year and the FIFA15 "money" low shot does look like a finesse shot but it is just a soft low aimed shot. if that makes sense.(it does in my head...)

Oh yes, this game has the potential to be very good. It plays really well out of the box on WC with a default slider set. Can't wait to see what sliders will do!

Only complaint: 15k to do the FUT Draft seems a bit steep, unless they scatter Draft Tokens in packs, which if they did, would be genius.

Thanks to everyone who is giving impressions. I'm really enjoying getting info from you all!

So it sounds like the biggest complaint people are having is that CPU teams pretty much all play the same.

Any thoughts in here on that being an issue?

So full confession, in the past I would never play with full manual controls. I never felt I was good enough to play it and enjoy the game that way. I played ALOT of FIFA 15 but it was all on Assisted or Semi controls.

Finally got home to play the trial and went ahead and put everything on Manual controls other than shooting which I put in Semi until I get the hang of aiming towards the net. My gawd this game opened up. I already loved the demo and couldn't wait to try it but something told me to give full manual a try. This game went from being a 10/10 for me to even better if that's possible.

I can see why alot of you guys on here are all about the full manual controls. A totally new game and I've set up some absolutely gorgeous plays and it was one of the most rewarding gameplay experiences ever, in any game. I feel I'm only limited by my imagination.

Edit: forgot to mention, absolutely nothing was touched as far as pace or speed or anything in the full game. Some have already said that, thought I'd throw my two cents in.

I played three games last night in career. And from that experience, no they didn't play the same. Real Madrid played fast on the wings and lots side switches. Roma was playing lots of long balls and crossing. Seattle Sounders were playing slow possession build up and only attacking down the middle.

I also forgot to mention in my earlier post. Plying the preseason and being able to make 7 subs is fantastic. Actually being able to test guys out and give them some time to see how they play early like that is great.
