Doing a test MM with Bray. I'll say the cpu is a bit too tidy and clever in possession in general given the quality of players in the Irish league. That said, with Bray I am largely forced to play a simple game and get the ball down the pitch instead of attempting to retain possession in some instances. It's not because the cpu defense is playing out of its mind or anything, it's just that the quality of my players isn't such that they have enough skill on the ball to move it fast enough or manipulate it at their feet to create space.

When I play play now games with better teams it's a lot easier to possess the ball, and break down the cpu through the middle of the park.

Really enjoying playing and learning the game this year. Still too much on the rails stuff, but it's FIFA. It's fun as hell this year.

Right now I'm having trouble in that I'm scoring very similar goals. I am not very good at the game so a lot of it could be attributed to that. I just need to keep experimenting it seems.

Just keep at it. I am scoring long goals, short goals, headers and from all over the place. So it's really fun.

Lob passes are not accurate... the hallmark of my game is air passes to players halfway across the field, but in FIFA 16 they choose to kick to someone who I clearly am not aiming at. This needs to be patched.

what setting do you use on controls for lob passes? I would put this to manual if your not using that. that should help. even if you use assisted or semi controls on everything else.. at the very least keep lob pass to manual to fix this. lob pass is broken on assisted and semi controls. Manual works best for this setting. basically even if you use assisted controls or default.. at the very least u should change lob passes to manual in FIFA.. it's been like this for a couple of years now

Lob pass must be on manual setting. I really don't see why someone would play this year's game on assisted settings. Semi is good for shooting and crossing, the rest should be on manual. Manual passing is way easier than the previous years and combined with the larger pitches the gameplay is more open and varied.

I have always just left the defaults. Is that why sometimes I feel it doesn't go to who u wanted it to go to? I will try a game with no assists and see what happens.

Lob pass must be on manual if you want to have total control where to pass. Otherwise the game decides the target man of the long ball. Ofc you have to disable the passing power assistance also.
Manual controls are more accessible this year and the learning curve isn't that steep.

imo you are fine leaving defaults controls except turn player switching to air balls if not default

and lob pass to manual.. but like fearwhatnow says this FIfa is easier to get the manual controls down except for shooting for me. I can hit the target in a match with manual shooting to save my life.

I have played this game with assisted controls semi crossing and manual lob pass and that works fine for me as well and don't feel to heavily assisted to me. I'm going to try semi tonight on pass and shoot though which I haven't yet.

alls I know is the one setting everyone should have set to manual is lob pass because it will frustrate the hell out of you if you don't use that. it will never go where you want it if you don't do this

I also turn analog sprint off.. but that is just user preference really.. some probably love that. I don't

overall just play with what feels best to you.. but from my experience the lob pass seems broken if not set to manual...
