You're holding L2/LT, which is now the button for flashy passes.

What should I be pushing? I skipped the trainer thing as well because it didn't appear to provide much.

Played one quick match. I am loving it. Really like the new default camera. This game is so realistic, Ivanovic has been getting burned constantly

Put your ps4 in rest mode and wake it up in like 30 mins.

Why is the FUT thing 6 minute halves, but kick off is only 4? WTF EA!

Started downloading the demo at 4:57 EST and it's still downloading for me (7:13 EST)...

It's been stuck at like 98% for the past 20 minutes

# 189 baseballguy @ 09/08/15 08:15 PM

So I've now played the demo on both PS4 and XBox One and for some reason I'm much better on the Xbox. I couldn't score a goal to save my life on the PS4. I also feel like the controls are a bit more responsive. Hmmm.

My first Fifa purchase since 2008/2009

I agree with everything except for the super quick turns. It's still very easy to turn away from defenders, especially when you lay off the turbo button and get used to the small deft touches.

The collision system is also MUCH MUCH better. One of my biggest problems with '15 was how wonky the collisions were. Players would go flying unrealistically with minor shoulder tackles with didn't allow you to ride challenges like you can in real life.

That's EA. It's in the game. I even got a receipt by them in my email for ordering and purchasing the demo. 0.00 pounds and vat 0.00 pounds.

Same here. I'm horrible on the PS4. When it comes to FIFA I'm much more comfortable with the XB1 controller.

+The player models look a lot better. The females came out a lot better than I thought they would.
+AI teammates can be straight lethal off the ball on the attack. Much improved.
+Player movement is great. It actually feels like the models have weight.

-AI teammates still don't intercept balls on World Class. I tested it, and without me switching it was tic tac toe passing.
-CPU Off the ball sprinting is OP. It will be abused to high heaven. (Think Gareth Bale's winner vs Barca in '14). Germany's wingers did it over and over again.

Overall though I am impressed. The physics has improved tenfold.

I just traded my Xbox one for PS4 yesterday so I can play NHL club with my friends but one thing I have noticed as well is the PES2016 demo is better on Xbone than PS4 to me and is also more responsive...... It's very odd to me..

I'm downloading FIFA demo now

nice tip

Players just feel better. Animations are smoother. Less clunky collision animations. Players seem to move around more smoothly with less jerky movements. I also my cpu team mates running for lose balls and not backing away just letting the other team get them. Love that. So much. I turned the new tutorial thing off because it never showed me anything other than press A to pass. I hope there is more to that. I would like to learn the new no touch dribbling and the other new features. Also loved at the end of the match how it presented the highlights. Nice touch. Very nice. In the very first game you play when you load it up, Neymar got a deep lob from the Alves into space on the wing. Neymar skill moved around my defender and had a one on one, placed it in the top right corner. On the default low level settings. Very impressed. You'd never see that in 15. Also love the new physical animations when players get close. Them auto battling, guys backing off defenders, etc. That is so nice to see. Man this game wont come out fast enough. I'm not so pumped for this.

I believe I remember in the dev interviews they said it advances along with you and shows you more and more. Or you can change it yourself for more complex commands.

I only got to play one game before work and I left it on. It was great for showing me where to position myself on defense. I felt a lot of people could use it for that because they ball chase instead of holding formation.

Just got my butt handed to me on the new ultimate difficulty, 6-1.

The women keepers seem to be much better than the men. But I could be crazy.

Not seeing enough errant passes on WC or Legendary. Too many perfect crazy combos. But sliders will fix that.

# 199 Zac @ 09/08/15 08:57 PM

Also keepers bouncing the ball when waiting for players to clear out is a nice little touch.

# 200 PAPERNUT @ 09/08/15 09:00 PM

Little things stick out to me this year. Player momentum is finally right. Nice to see some misplayed passes and touches even with the better teams. Still a bit too accurate and slowing down passing with sliders will be needed. Seeing some nice snap shots and some distance shots by the cpu. Love the back passes to the goalie, but also in the offensive side of the field by the cpu. My fear of lack of fouls is gone as well. I will also want more than we get, but so far I am seeing a fair amount on both sides and decent physical play, especially players jumping for headers.

All in all, I am impressed. I was close to canceling my preorder after seeing first vids of this, but playing it is night and day from 15. If we can avoid EA ruining it with a patch/tuner update and if tactics can even halfway work this year, we may be in business.
