lol our hatred of this broken bs has brought us together

I don't mind a difficult game, but I'd much rather be on the edge of my seat, throwing men behind the balls and having players step in to block shots against an unrelenting offence than trying to chase the back four who are playing a game of hot potato.

Any semblance of realism has been thrown out the window and flattened by the passing cars. If I've gotten someone like Walcott to blitz past the defence, all of a sudden, the defenders gain a Mario Kart power up and catch up. Doesn't matter who the defender is or how fast they are, they'll catch up to me. Yet if a ball goes down the wing and I've got a defender holding off their winger, all of a sudden he becomes Zyzz, pushes me aside and speeds down the wing, knocking the ball 10 metres in front of him with each touch, just if I hasn't ticked off enough.

As someone on /sp/ eloquently put it, the match becomes a shit grind where you swim in shit for 90 minutes hoping to capitalize on a shit.

Eagerly anticipating the first patch, Bowden pls fix this shit.

Nice are you buying packs directly or doing draft. I kinda feel like I should have done pack only with some good pulls already (Oscar, Bravo, Diego Alves, Lamela, Nkoulou) but at the same time they have kept my coin total increasing while doing drafts.

Finding draft mode really fun especially with mid range players selling for a few thousand meaning I have been getting my money back usually. Offline I have gone 3 wins, 4 wins, 3 wins on World class and online I have gone 1 win (:( ), 3 wins, 3 wins. really enjoy doing drafts, my one issue is some players are more common than they should be imo. In 10 teams I have seen I think 6 have had IF Ronaldo and one having normal Ronaldo.

Apparently logging into the app gets you fifa points

Noice

Just hack them, They earn a free and win it back that way if they go long. :lol:

They have an ACL?!

I haven't played FUT Draft just yet I kinda feel like it defeats the purpose of pack only.

Anyway last night I opened a pack and for the first five or seconds only the players nationality and club came up, it was Argentina and Barca - thought I had Messi but nope Mascherano. :(

I thnk he meant AFC.
I started a Roar career to check if there was ACL and there isnt.

This is how it feels to play against the AI.

Yay another day of not being able to find one fucking match online. Was stuck on 'searching for an opponent' for about 1.5 hours at one stage

Spent more time searching for matches tonight than actually playing them. :x

Bowden, tell me EA are working on a patch right now.

Can't find a game online, which means I have to play offline and deal with the AI's Chelsea mode bullshit.

I got a few matches in the other day, apart from that my whole time has been spent searching for matches.

I know what AFC stands for but what are you referring to in the game?
I used to always start in the a-league in career mode but it's just so boring... started as roda this time round. Won the eridivsie in my first season then moved onto bournemouth who were relegated to the Championship.

i loaded up fifa 15 and there were 2500 matches currently being played. fifa 16 was on 500.

soooo. how shit is the passing? what the fuck have they done??

I havent found any issue with the game as yet. Maybe a little slow through the menu's in my second season but other than that a pretty stable and enjoyable game. Im playing on PS4 fyi

Playing on World Class as before, haven't attempted Legendary because I know my limitations.

I don't like using the sliders, but I found that if you just knock the AI's pace down to 48 instead of 50, then most arguments about pace are gone (if you knock it down to 47 it becomes almost too easy to run away from defenders). Beyond that one has to show a little more patience in passing, and accept that once 'they' get the ball you just have to stand off and wait for your opportunity. They still miss a LOT of chances, and you are still left needing to be clinical when you get yours (one on one's don't seem as easy as before), but the positives (better graphics, better physical interaction between ball and player, player and other players, etc.), and the return of headed goals (I don't know if crossing is better, heading is easier, or I've suddenly got used to it) - and it's worth pushing on with.

Currently nearing end of second season in manager mode - finished 12th (with a late rally of good results) in first season, currently 9th-10th with 5 games to go. Money still seems to be a little inaccurate, even on the most stringent mode. Would be nice to have to work hard to maintain your squad, rather than easy improvement from season to season.

:lol: Just about done with this game. Would trade it in if I had a physical copy.

Honestly not finding it that difficult, it's actually a really good challenging game (like NBA2k16, a lot smoother and competitive IMO)

I love it, don't get the hate at all.

Feel like this FIFA has a steeper learning curve but good fun once you get the hang of it. One of the better editions in recent times at least!

Oh I love the gameplay, when I can actually find a game online. In the week and half I've had it I've spent more time searching for an opponent than actually playing. This is where hating offline FIFA comes back to bite me :lol:

^ This ^

Still too easy to build up a fortune and sign superstars in manager mode though.

:lol: it has been driving me insane also.

I've started playing ultimate team properly now. Only ever really played Pro Clubs and Seasons. I can see why people get hooked!

I just finished my first season on career and there is no option to train individuals and choose international comps as ive seen advertised. is it not on ps3?

oh the fine print.

Career Mode in FIFA 16 delivers two of our community's most requested feature updates and many other key changes. (Available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC only)

well that just sucks loads a balls. disappointed, well waxed and oiled, balls.

The servers are more trash than the kardashians sort that shit out ffs

What are the chances of getting a decent player on FUT opened about 30 packs best i got was ramires

I'm doing pack only again this year, I don't have that much time to trade or play that many games at the moment - so its been slow going. But these are all my shiny gold players that I've packed:
