Nice one, I'll look into that. Thanks.
Gaming FIFA 16
- Thread starter JR10
- Start date
I find Herrera way too weak, gets muscled off the ball way to easily for my taste.
Well their starter formation is 4-2-3-1 and that didn't work, 4-3-2-1 might be an idea though.
Try Rooney or Fellaini there.
Change what view? The console sales are still massively different.
I personally played the demo and decided I didn't want to buy the game. If I thought like that I bet you a lot of other people did as well. That's at least some percentage difference explained right there.
The numbers will be different January 1st. Not 50-50 but different.
So what's to say some people on ps4 didn't think that too?
I played a game against some Saudi Arabian side during preseason and they passed the ball like Barcelona. It's so frustrating
One thing that is annoying me on h2h seasons. Regardless of formation and even if I change their instructions my sitting midfielder/s still bomb up the pitch and I get caught on the counter more often than I should. Opponents don't seem to do this. Anything i can try? 
Banega is slow as feck though. You need that small bit of acceleration to turn move into space.
There isn't. I'm only going by the sample that I know. The only people that I know that have bought the game are PS4 users. Don't know a single PS3 user that has bought it. Seems to be the same thing on the caf. PS4 users were in the beta stages, they were pre-ordering and playing it on release day. Heard very little PS3 talk here.
The game is also less than a week old. Both reviews and sales figures can't be taken very seriously on the whole. It basically gives us the first impressions and who buys games first (which is understandably new gen console gamers). But if you want to go specifically into that (I know you didn't) then FIFA16 has sold 7% less copies than FIFA15 did in it's first week (16 even had an extra day counted).
The figures will look differently after the Christmas period and then again after the console drops in price (if it does so far away enough from the next release).
Don't. He's absolutely useless.
Digital sales are not counted. So that's everyone with EA Access.
So does this suggest that other 16% of players bought digital copies this year instead?
7% wasn't it? I'm sure sales are down, but with digital sales growing, it could explain the gap.
Also Fifa 16 was released early to those with EA Access (PC/Xbox One) so i'm assuming those people went for digital copies.
Or perhaps more people have purchased the new gen consoles with
Ps4 selling 23m units already (less than 2 years), compared to the 83m (total)sales of its predecessor.
Xb1 - 10m (2 years), xb 360 - 84m (total)
Haven't used him yet personally, that'd be a disappointment though, he's been a monster for years.
What has that got to do with the decline in sales from Fifa 15 to Fifa 16? All i said was that those charts only count physical copies, and with the rise of digital downloads, and the fact that EA access was giving the game early to members, means that the 7% could easily be made up by digital copies...
Is it really worth getting?
I prefer to control one player and try to make a career.
(Would play with team-mates, but people are either self-centered, disorganized or just plain shit at the game)
Skipped the 2015 version, so I'm still on 2014.

The overall argument had to do with the suggestion that the decline of sales for FIFA 2016 may be due to the fact that a lot of people may have already made the jump to the next gen consoles, and just as you are speculating with your theory about digital sales, I am using the actual console sales figures to back up my suggestion that the decline in sales of FIFA from 15 to 16 in the previous gen consoles may just be as a result of the fact that people made the jump early.
Companies don't bother to promote last gen games anymore, and the prices still remain the same (relatively).
No surprise there is a decline in sales.

Yes but my point is, the PS3 might have sold a lot more - but a lot of those users have now migrated to PS4. Therefore why would developers worry about making games for the old generation now. That was your original point weeks ago, that there are more PS3 consoles out there so why wasn't it the priority.
it's not the priority because it's the old generation now. The money is in the current generation, as seen by the sales that I and others have posted.
I know but it's confusing because i just commented on your article stating 7% sales down from 15, and gave what i thought was an explanation. I did not get involved in the conversation with new vs old gen or the sales figures there and never mentioned it. So i was bit confused why you replied to me with console figures.
But yes i agree, more people are moving to new gen so old gen titles will always be declining.
How is Martial on Fifa? I might be upgrading him once I finally get my hands on the game, he's so good
This happened yesterday in a game.
Surprisingly loving it so far. Feels very fluid, kinda more like FIFA 14, especially the shooting.
But WHAT THE feck is that fog weather? It looks like smoke, I kinda had to put my face into the screen to see which player I was controlling. Really annoying.

Fog is pointless and they've implemented it the way you are forced to play in fog for 70% of time online because they want to boast about the brand new in-game feature.
This really feels like a football game should, I'm tempted to say it's on the level of NBA 2k in terms of capturing the essence of the sport it's trying to simulate.
One thing that really annoys me though is that the keepers collect or punch out basically every corner unless it's really far out. So I usually have to play a short pass. Same goes for crosses, goalies deal with them with ease, so I usually have to cut in.

Goalkeepers are way to good, period. However if you tone them down to 20 with the sliders they are no longer superhuman and the game becomes even better. As great as it is, still not as good as NBA 2k16 in all honesty.
Thing with 2K is they can do a lot more. FIFA has to pack in so many teams, players etc. whereas 2K don't have so many so really focus well on the gameplay
And I've told you many times that the reason that EA should care is because more than half of PS users are still using the PS3. There are over 65 million active PSN users and PS4 has "only" sold ~22 million units. That's a lot of millions of active users still using their PS3.
They are, but this aspect is especially annoying since it's probably an easy fix and would add an extra dimension to attack, which really shouldn't be as weak as it is (probably half of all goals in the Premier league are from crosses dammit
).I haven't played 2k16 yet, but I'll take your word for it, since 15 was also great.

I've toned goalkeepers down to 35 and decreased passing speed to 40 (maybe it'd be better to have it around 43-44 but it's more tactical this way). It works awesome.
I've only seen 2k16 briefly, I'm trading 2k15 for it on Saturday. Meant to say 2k series in general but yeah, they have it much easier with only around 40 teams to work on.
Beat Stoke 2-1 at home thanks to stoppage time goal from Muller, then drew at Sunderland. 38 points from 27 games and I need to step up in the next 3 games: Watford and Palace at home, West Brom away, because then I'm playing back to back games against other top 4 challengers, City (4 points ahead now) and Everton (6 points ahead). Still a good chance that I will make top 4 in the end if I can go on a good run. I drew 1-1 in Paris so I should be able to make CL quarterfinals too, I'm aiming to win the competition but I imagine stronger sides will destroy me.
The goalkeepers are annoying me too, they seem to catch fecking everything, looks so unrealistic.
Also, is anyone having the problem of one of your centre backs deciding to practically stand on top of your goalkeeper when the opposition enter your box, meaning your GK can't move when they shoot? Really annoying bug.

Is it just me or does every outfield player feel exactly the same? If it wasn't for the 4 star skills and being a tiny bit quicker I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Flamini and Messi.
Try the no-touch dribbling. Messi is the best in the game at it.
I feel completely different. Most of the playerd feel very unique and resemble how they play in real life. Shaw for example feels very similar with powerful pacey runs, Mata feels similar with his movement style, same for Depay and Rooney, even Schweinsteiger. It's first football game in which I honestly notice footballers style to this extent.
Love playing season with United. After toning down pass speed to 42 and goalkeepers to 36 it's become truly great experience, tactial without consistent wodersaves (still happen every now and again but Myhill does no longer save all powerful shots from Muller and Depay). 29 games into season, 44 points, 5th place and 2 behind 4th City. If I make top 4 and they keep me I will have a go at the title next season I feel, my record in the second half of season has been very good and I have 3 wins out of last 4 games.
In the meantime I have taken Poland job with the goal to prepare them for Euro 2016. I probably won't bother with friendlies and wait until the Summer, doesn't matter who I call up because I am going to build around Lewandowski and play everything through him anyway. Considering using very defensive tactics with Milik and Lewandowski as primary attacking outlets. Three defensive midfielders etc.

Put GK ability at around 30, some say even 20.
