FIFA 16 Impressions (Demo/Full Game)

What do you guys think of the demo so far?

I recognised one thing in particular: Womens' animations/body models look sooo much better and more realistic than the mens' one.

I wished for fifa 17 they would completely redo all mens' animation, like they did for the womens' this year. Mens' play looks like many old animations with added animations from year to year, which doesn't look so smooth like womens' animation sets. Am I the only one who thinks so?

Long shots seem OP,crosses are much better.
Still,the best football game i have played.
Players look better than last year.
Has kind of a pes feel to it when you play the game on slow.
Scoring 1 on 1 with the keeper is way easier than last year

I get those keyboard guide/tutorial circles around players even though I'm using a controller, anyone know how to shut them off?

R3.

Not liking the demo. Playing on legendary and if the ai last year just passed around your box now they sit and pass around their own box, 75% of the game is watching them passing around. If I want that i go watch a real football game.

- Pace is gone for the attacking team
- The new hard pass is harder then a normal shot
- Your own team mates still make idiotic runs, theres plenty of space open on the wing for example, no i just run into 2 defenders and after that to offside
- Penalties are still same old, top left or right 99,9% goal. Aim, count to 2 in your head, too easy.

Overall meh, not worth 60 euroes at all.

Where is that setting? When I start up a game, it only allows me to choose keyboard or keyboard/mouse in the side selector screen, no option to use a controller.

EDIT: Found it thanks.

EDIT: Still doesn't work, only option I get is keyboard or keyboard/mouse when I pause and go to the select sides screen.

EDIT: Settings in my docs file did not have my controller as default, all fixed now.

Still thinking that womens' animations are far better than mens'
Which is bad, because I don't care for womens' teams...

Looking far more smooth especially when it comes to how they stop the ball. Looks more realistic (like how they take some steps back, how they take the ball with etc)

My impressions:

Graphics significantly improved
Animations improved
Control smoothness improved

But past all the pretty, and looking underneath the hood, the gameplay is the same damn arcade/CPU boost nonsense as every year. And now EA wants 80 bucks (?!) for this? No thanks.

it's much better, the defensive covering and awareness is greatly improved. unlocking a defence is a serious challenge. less pacey, AI is much more varied with passing and shooting.

I have not encountered a bug. The best FIFA ever. EA has kept its promises on defense, midfield and attack the CPU.
Great game!

The only problem: the head of some players out of proportion to the body (Palacio, Neymar).

Amazing game. Til now I played only a few matches, but I love it.
Fifa 15 is a great game, Fifa 16 perhaps with this few little changes the better game. Player positioning is better, the movement of the players is smoother. But the improvement is not so big as I noticed it was from Fifa 14 to Fifa 15, but with Fifa 15 the level is very high.

P.S. Camera changes is working again with Fifa 16!

Not convinced by the demo. Stopped playing FIFA 15 in the last few months because I played it all year and got sick of it. After 3 games of the demo, it feels like I'm playing 15 again. Yes it plays slightly differently, but there is noting exciting about it and I am already bored. Like everyone has been saying, feels like an upgraded 15.

Also, is anyone else struggling with the dribbling? I can't take on a single player without losing the ball. The CPU never engages in a tackle and instead just waits. I suppose this is how defending should be but not being able to beat a Seattle Sounders defender with Messi sucks the fun out of it for me. All I can do is sprint past them. Or maybe I'm just bad at the demo..

Does anyone else also have a hard time gettingused to the slightly changed controls?

I've always used LT for closer control and then would pass the ball. But now LT + pass does an unnecessary trick pass.

I also enjoyed using the super close ball control with LB, but now it is 'off the ball movement'? It simply makes my player lose the ball.

And yeah, new driven passes feel more powerful than actual shots. Might be OP online.

well, shouldn't be so .. ?! anyway, really is just an improved game .. and I'm not so sure about the speed of gameplay .. still seems fast .. or maybe because I play full manual all the time and now I left on default settings ..

CPU gameplay and team tactics coding has needed a complete re-write for years. So no, an upgraded FIFA 15 with improved graphics but the identical CPU gameplay coding as FIFA 14, FIFA 13 and FIFA 12, is simply not good enough.

alls ye seem to get every single year from the ai is rush forward no build up play no passing back and working from the defense its just ping it forward as quick as it can attack against defense ive noticed in the demo sum ping pong from the ai pes seems to have got it closer to real football i have been a fifa fan but its wearing thin the same old crap each year

new cpu coding aint happening till we have the ignite engine to drive FIFA games.

i have other issues but FIFA 16 is definitely quite a few steps ahead of FIFA 15.
