For what it's worth, the latest slider set on WC seems to have the CPU being more aggressive and moving the ball up the pitch a bit. You can chase ball all day long, cutting off passing lanes and force them to bounce it back and forth on their back line but that's pretty realistic to me and not at all a great tactic because you're never gonna get the ball.

I've found the best thing to do is only do this when I need to slow the game down a bit and regroup. Once my team is set, I'll back off and let them start taking some risks and passing the ball. From there I look for opportunities to repossess the ball.

But I do agree that pro is the better balanced difficulty out of the box and just feels much better.

I agree you can not boost AI. However, I find that offensively the CPU plays more life like on PRO. The issue I have on World Class is not how well they play offensively but that they simply attempt to hold the ball and hope to score one goal. So, I can adjust sliders and make them turn the ball over more but I can not adjust and make them attempt more scoring chances.

For me I would rather bump up CPU Marking to 100 on Pro then deal with the World Class possesion issue.

I agree and drop back on defense and contain while forcing mistakes. My issue with World Class is not getting the ball but instead what the CPU does while they have it. They play always possesion and never try to score enough. On Pro the CPU shoots more and tries more things... I actually think AI CPU offense is better (realism and team variety) on PRO but defensively they are better on World Class.

Same can be done for WC by increasing run frequency. If you go marking at higher levels than 70 for PRO, you introduce ADD - attention deficit defending, that plagued 15.

FWIW, I lost 4-1 and 4-0, then tied 2-2 in a couple matches last night on WC. CPU definitely knows how to attack, but they also are smart with the ball - and build from the back, unlike 15 where it was dribble-dribble-pass forward.

Just my opinion but I think FIFA 16 is the best FIFA yet for offline sim players, which is what I am.

Well, one we play way differently. On WC in ten games I have not had the CPU score more than two goals against me. I am using West Brom, so not a defensive powerhouse or BPL one.

But if increasing forward runs makes them shoot more that could be it! I will try it. Do they try long shots like on PRO? As in my expierience it is not just runs but they will pass back before taking a long shot against me. Making them have crazy possesion numbers like say 70% but only shooting three times.

My other MM I am playing on Pro and have Portsmouth. In fifteen games it just seems the CPU shoots more. In the FA Cup Nottingham score 5 goals on me. And possesion was closer.

IDK, I need a level in-between WC and PRO but would rather win more on PRO than play 1-0 or 2-1 games all season on WC. Even when I win on WC it is usually just because the CPU did not attempt enough shots.

The boosts the AI receives eliminate the feel of being able to boss a game against a team you should be able to. Maybe I'm just not that good, but I got beat 3-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Pro and it felt really organic. When I tried pressing to get a goal, they killed me on the counter. Right now, I started a Sounders MM, and am playing a preseason tourney in Mexico. I beat some low-level team from South America handily, and now I'm playing Santos Laguna, and the skill level/pressing of the opposition is like night and day. I'd rather it be a little on the easy side over every match feeling the same.

This is not my thought but exactly what I feel... I would rather win a little too many on Pro and have the games played out more tactically realistic. My issue on WC is not winning or losing but that either way it happens mostly the same way. All teams seem just to play much more similar to me.

The biggest improvement for an offline sim gamer in FIFA 16 is how opponents play differently, to me this is most evident on PRO. Yet, I wish they would guard me more like they do on WC...

The thoughts in the thread are this is for CM. I have felt a bit of this logic in FUT though as well.

Getting no shots at all in the first half, feeling outgunned only to feel the CPU back off and getting more shots in the 2nd half.
