Set 7 is really good. Having some great matches, great defensive battles. Anybody else's goalie playing out of his mind? Steklenburg has gotten man of the match in half of my games. Sitting 4th with Southampton going intobStamford bridge in matchday 9.

I was up 1-0 early and they managed to come in front 1-2. I made some tactical changes and forced them to park the bus. Equalizer on 89' and winning goal on 90' for a fantastic 3-2 comeback. I'm seeing tons of fouls in my games probably because of the quick and technical players of Leicester. Mahrez, Kante, Dyer, Schlupp and Vardy are exceptional so far (to a degree because I'm just above the relegation zone...).

How many minute hales are you playing? I'm playing 10 and I feel like the scorelines are too low.

10 minutes. I have realistic scorelines so far after 14 games in MM but it depends on the team you are using and how early the first goal is scored. There are multiple parameters that kick-in the game depending on various situations. It's a huge string of algorithms including morale, momentum etc. All these are tied most of the time to the scoreline.
That said, if you raise the halves to 15 minutes there won't be 6-5 or 7-4 scores. There are strings/command lines that take care of this extra time addition. This means you'll still get realistic results most of the time.
An example: If you're up 2-0 or 3-0 in a game most chances are that you're gonna win 4-0 or at least you'll keep your 2 goals advantage until the end of the match. An early 2-0 at around 30' has big impact on the opponents morale and momentum.
It's fun to mess with all these on the pc but it's tiresome and time consuming to test every change you make.

Sorry for the somewhat unrelated post but I'm taking advantage of a hot thread.

After reading about FIFA16 I went out to purchase it. I had a manager's career going in FIFA15 with Man City where I had one game remaining in the 38 game season. I completed that and since I finished in the top four in the table (2nd) I was expecting to get to play in the Champion's League tourney.

After paging through an interminable amount of player transaction detritus I came upon the start of my second season. I don't really want to play another season on F15, but is this the only way to play the CL?

KG, I recommend going up to 15. I find the AI also plays at a better pace at this setting. Last year I played at 10 but find 15 to be much better this year because of the build up play by the AI. Last night I played against Swansea and held them to 7 shots (mostly all outside) and I had 17 myself as Chelsea.

No, you can play in the CL in the first season as long as you enable it.

Bought it yesterday and I have to say I'm really impressed. My daughters LOVED playing with the women's teams (hopefully they can create female players next year), and I'm really glad to see Canada back as an international option. I know we're not a powerhouse, but from a sales and PR standpoint it's a long overdue move. Add on to the what feels like improved gameplay (the AI really whips the ball around a lot more than 15) and loading times and colour me impressed.

Alt...my problem is actually the opposite. I'm 3-4 games into my CM and I haven't given up a goal yet with the most I've scored being 2. I play defensive and switch my mentality a lot but I'd like to see more attacking by the CPU.

I'll bump it up to 15 for the next match and see what happens.

Might have to bump it up to Legendary assuming you are playing on WC.

Yep. Try Legendary in a exhibition game KG.

The reason I switch from 10 to 15 for Legendary is because breaking down the AI takes work\time. Playing 10 is not enough as it doesn't equal enough scoring opportunities on either end. I think you'll be pleased with the attacking AI on Legendary.

# 251 LionsFanNJ @ 09/30/15 06:54 PM

Yeah I cant play on higher than pro. As Milan and Dortmund, Ive had league 2 teams drop 4 goals on me in world class, and most times I cant even get a shot on goal. Doesnt matter the slider set either. It annoys me to no end.

Im gonna have to put this down and move tovnba 2k for a while.

Rather disappointed that sleeve patches don't change when you get into the PL. I just won the promotion playoff with Portsmouth and now I'm wearing the Football League patches playing in Premier League matches. For a game that's strength is presentation, that is rather poor.

Yeah I always thought that was weird. It is similar to how Chelsea forever be the champions in your career mode because they will always have the Gold EPL sleeve patch.

Question: I'm playing on xbox one and any time I score a nice goal a message pops up saying "game clip recorded." This message always gets in the way. How do I remove it?

Between the beta/demo and now full game I am already sick of seeing the same type of goals go in.

I know which ones work for me and I know exactly what the cpu is trying to do. So once you are able to out think the cpu it gets stale quick.

I am not going to say what to do because I do not want to ruin the experience for anyone else.

But if you reach the point I have, any good scores this game gets plummet, because of the lack of goal variety and the unwillingness of the cpu to really try anything different than their initial strategy.

I must be playing a different game then because I have scored 19 goals in 16 matches and not a single one was the same. I've conceded 24 and again all of them were varied.
Also every game was different. Last one against Chelsea at home, 15 min, WC, default sliders. Tactics 4-4-2, defensive approach with counter attacks. Final score 1-1. Chelsea made a sub in the halftime, in 54' and the last one in 66'. They changed their attacking approach 3 times in the game and finally I was able to finish the game 52%-48% in possession. Yes that's Leicester-Chelsea and I won the possession.
I agree that the cpu teams are not so varied but the smarter AI coding makes for some great games+the player abilities can make a huge difference in many situations. I don' believe you've managed to dominate the AI playing with a medium/low rated team. If you did put it in a spoiler and share it with us.
Oh! Their shooting stats were 20 shots, 8 on target.

Has anyone heard or experienced job offers in Manager mode yet? I like to start at a lower ranked team and work my way up to the bigger clubs but that has been impossible the last two years which led to me just doing a different MM every 3-4 years.

For all of you on PC the ModdingWay mod/patch is ready. Version 0.5.2:

It's a combination of 3 distinct things.

1. the cpu player with the ball is incapable of more than an A or B decision.
So if you deny the A choice, and hedge on the B choice, they will return to the A choice 99% of the time. I would type 100% but few things are 100%.

2. When you shoot, the legacy issue still remains of your attackers moving backwards immediately once the CPU touches the ball. Just watch any replay. It's incredibly annoying.

3. There are hot spots/methods for making the ball go in the goal. When the game is tied or within a goal it's incredibly hard to resist using the methods.

Don't get me wrong, I have stayed up until 2am since the game hit EA access/the full game hit stores playing it.

It probably is the best FIFA in awhile but the more you start to see the patterns in the AI the more the shine wears off.

I remember last year only had offers when some title was won, like Championship, cup or european competition.
