Professional Too Easy, World Class Too Hard

[mac_rmm]

So it's early and I know sliders are being worked on, but I'm seeing it again. After about 20 or so games played, I have won everytime on professional and lost every time on World Class.

Professional is just too easy with attack. No ball pressure from CPU and you can dribble past pretty much any CPU defender. The CPU attack is nonexistent.

I would like to play world class but the biggest problems I see right now are:

1) CPU tackling is way too good. My favorite animation is when they seem to be shot out of a cannon right at you and steal the ball. Any sort of dribble is stolen almost immediately.

2) Passing is wonky. I play assisted but so many of my passes go the exact opposite way they should. On WC, I often have players that pass it directly to the opposite team standing in front of them.

3) CPU is way too physically strong. Almost impossible to get them off the ball, but they will nudge your guy and easily gain the ball. Real life size and strength attributes don't seem to apply here.

4) CPU fouls aren't called when they should be. This goes with the physicality aspect discussed above.

5) When switching the guy I switch to comes to an automatic stop on long balls by CPU so therefore is often caught chasing a CPU player into the goal from behind.

Going to start to investigate how to make professional harder or wc more fair. Not sure which one would end up with the best gameplay. Anyone have some thoughts?

Hi!

That was exactly what I experienced last year. That was why I made the "Hardcore simulation sliders" thread. Check it out. As soon as I get FIFA 17 I will see if it will need a similar aprouch.

Cheers!

Such has been the case for the past 5 FIFAs generally. Professional the CPU just roll over, World Class I'm sorry to say - they cheat.

I find the best bet is to play on Professional, but use full manual controls, then 'boost' some of the CPU sliders in their favour as you see fit. So things like give them a lower pass and shot error than you, even sometimes boost their acceleration and sprint speed if necessary.

The jump from Pro to World Class seems to be the steepest, and this dates back several years of FIFA.

In 16 and now in 17 I do similar things. Playing manual is one challenge that is a default for me. Mostly bumping marking for CPU and lowering it for user. Also upping first touch for both takes out of the perfection a bit, I like its results.

So far my experience is it doesn't really matter what level difficulty you are playing on, every team passes so crisply and defends perfectly. It's pissing me off.

Try some first touch (as high as 70) and pass error (mine is at 55 for CPU), lower pass speed (mine is at 42 for both) and that crisp is not as crisp for every single team.

Yep. All teams are the same, just different players. But this thread is exactly why I went back to PES, couldn't find right challenge level. Too easy then one level up, I could barely get a shot off, and if i did, it was a slow roller.
