FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

I am finding that the CPU does not shoot enough. They attack well but sometimes ease off and don't shoot and I tackle them or they choose only parts of the game to attack (Pro & WC seem the same with this). They would very rarely have more than 7 or 8 shots or more in a game (10 or 12 mins). It is more commonly 3 - 6 shots a game. Playing as a lessor team may increase this. I have so far only played as Man Utd, Roma or Juve. I had to decrease the shot error slider to 38 as they were missing some howlers, open goals and all. Also it seems the CPU penalties aren't that great either. They have taken a few shockers against me and have only scored about 2 out of 6.
I do plan on playing a lot with the lessor teams but am trying to work out if there is a shooting issue here.

Anyone have these issues or know ways To make the CPU can shoot more?

6 shots in 10 min halves for low rated teams is realistic. Good teams shoot around 15 against me in 10 min halves. You can go up to 15 min halves but cpu shooting is perfect as it is.
You're right about penalties, it's been already discussed and we hope EA will fix it. Cpu should aim 90% the corners and not the middle.

The best gameplay experience out of the box is World Class because you don't have to mess with crucial sliders.
I see many complain that they can't defend on World Class. This is because they use Tactical Defending. As KG stated on his review tactical defending is not the way to play the game because there's not a pressure button assignment for your teammates. The solution is so simple and works perfectly: Legacy Defending+Aggressive Interceptions for your CBs. Voila. Your teammates are suddenly defense experts. They come first to the ball and you don't have to babysit them all the time.

An update from my post above. Just played as Newcastle against Swansea on Pro level. Swansea had 3 shots with 1 on target. Game went to penalties at 0-0. Swansea missed all 4 of their penalties. 2 Panekas straight at keeper, 1 over the bar and 1 wide of the goal. CPU is now 2 from 10 in penalties against me. Penalties are worse this year for sure.

Is there anyone who notice there is fatigue issue in slow setting?
Player remain almost 70~80% fatigue after full match...
No slider for fatigue?
I'm using 10min half slow speed setting..

[Peji911]

Is there a way to make this game play slower like actual footie and not hockey?

This has always annoyed me about FIFA but I bought it anyways cause people kept saying it's slower... if this is 'slow', I would loooove to know what people consider fast!


FIFA should have a 'sim' and 'arcade' setting cause out of the box, the speed is a joke!

This is the most impressive FIFA release so-far from easports. I was trying to nail down why it is so good last night. A few things came to mind right away. The ball movement. The ball moves freely around the pitch. It has a mind of it's own and not the mind of some algorithm. The cpu player moves the ball across the pitch more often and even moves the ball back towards the defense or keeper if nothing is open. Now I play in the "be a pro mode" and when I receive the ball, I now feel like I am making the motions to control the ball. When trying to put the ball into the netting, it feels very much that the ball is underfoot. The spacing of my cpu players and cpu team I am playing also makes the feel better. Because of this, the pitch has been opened up to make the feel more free. There are just a few things that I have noticed so- far that has been driving me nuts. I have yet to see a cpu controlled player on my team pick up a card. I have seen cards on the other cpu team but not mine. The spot on passing needs to be tweaked a bit. There are three things that I would see year after year. I wish that my player would get subbed out if I am not playing well, I wish there was a penalty slider, and I wish that your player might be pick for the bench with the chance of being subbed in. Overall, very impressive. Impressive indeed.

One of your "three things" is already in the game, and has been for at least a year, perhaps more. That is, being subbed out if you are not playing well. I had that happen in FIFA 15 when I was playing in be a pro mode. You can be subbed out due to poor play, excessive fatigue, and of course injury. I've had all three happen to me in FIFA 15 and I've seen the fatigue and injury substitutions of the controlled player in FIFA 16 on YouTube videos.
