Emerald Emblem Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) FIFA 16 innovates across the entire pitch to deliver a balanced, authentic, and exciting football experience that lets you play your way, and compete at a higher level. You’ll have Confidence in Defending, take Control in Midfield, and you’ll produce more Moments of Magic than ever before. FIFA 16 – Play Beautiful. New features: - CONFIDENCE IN DEFENDING FIFA 16 gives you the tools to stop your opponent with confidence. Move with greater freedom as a defender - rely on your team to defend as a unit, and your back line to track menacing runs to create balance between attacking and defending. - DEFENSIVE AGILITY Use 25 innovative feature changes to mobility and locomotion to track skilled players. Mobile defenders can close down space and change direction quickly using swing-step behavior to stay with your opponent. You'll feel freedom of movement as you track runs and look to break up attacks. - DEFEND AS A UNIT Defend together, win together. Rely on your teammates to cover gaps when you close down an attacker. New defensive AI gives players better awareness of dangerous space on the pitch relative to the ball and their opponent. Your teammates will track back to stop sophisticated attacking runs, and close down angles of attack. - NEW TACKLING FUNDAMENTALS Get stuck in and win back the ball with new tackling mechanics and animations. All new slide, standing, and fake tackles make going in for the ball responsive, rewarding, and fun! - CONTROL IN MIDFIELD Games are won and lost in the midfield - in FIFA 16, the midfield matters. Stay in possession with patient build-up play or ping clinical passes through space to start an attack. - INTERCEPTION INTELLIGENCE Players anticipate passes and move to shut down options and close passing channels. Smarter teammates will look for space and allow more opportunities to build play through the midfield. - PASSING WITH PURPOSE A revolution in passing. FIFA 16 lets you play sharp, incisive passes so you can find teammates with precision. Using a new mechanic, ping driven ground passes to find teammates in tight spaces to open up your attacking options. - MOMENTS OF MAGIC Create more WOW moments. In FIFA 16 players will have that cutting edge every team needs to create moments of magic and unlock defenses. - NO TOUCH DRIBBLING The best touch can be the one you don't take. Free yourself from the ball to buy time, create separation, feint, and blow by your defender just as Messi does when he is at his best – it’s near limitless creativity on the ball. - DYNAMIC CROSSING Send that cross in! Authentic crosses let you find teammates with greater accuracy. Attacking players run onto and attack the ball with intent, making defenses scramble as crosses are played behind the back line with vicious intent. - CLINICAL FINISHING Strike the ball right and finish like a pro. Better placement of the foot and ankle gives players variety in shooting and goals scored. You'll be able to feel where the ball is struck and adjust your approach for improved accuracy and power. - FIFA TRAINER Reach your potential with FIFA Trainer. Learn as you play with an optional graphic overlay that prompts you with gameplay options depending on your position on the pitch and trainer level. Basic commands get you started, while deeper hints will improve the game of the most skilled players. - WOMEN'S NATIONAL TEAM Women are IN THE GAME. Compete as 12 Women's National Teams, for the first time in the FIFA franchise, in Kick Off, an Offline Tournament, and Online Friendly Matches. Note: Not All features available in all versions of the game A lot new and hopefully the AI defenders won't be so shit in this edition. I think we'll let @lostmario make N-Europe United like last seasons edition.

Esequiel Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 In in in in in. Day 2 for me (Pay day is 25th.......). Looking forward to Monday night football again!
lostmario Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Getting hyped for this now. Last few weeks we had on Fifa 15 before I traded it in were immense. We were playing nearly every night and playing incredibily well as a team. Anyway, I'll be looking to play pro clubs as much as possible for the first few weeks/months so I'll manage N-Europe United where we'll look to have a settled team from the start and climb the divisions/win the cups. For those only wanting to play once or twice a week, N-Europe Town will be your team. Be good if we can get two N-E teams going and organise friendlies between the two sides. For those new to pro clubs, you don't want more than 6 of you playing at one time.
MadDog Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Surely the more human players the better? :p
Emerald Emblem Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Surely the more human players the better? :p Unless you know any good defenders and goalkeepers then 6 is the limit By the way, on my late shift weeks I won't be able to play during weekdays, weekends are fine as is my morning shift weeks. Edited September 7, 2015 by Emerald Emblem
MadDog Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Unless you know any good defenders and goalkeepers then 6 is the limit Surely any human player would be an improvement over the cpu?
dazzybee Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Downloaded the demo last night, looking forward to it. Anyone found any good deals or is ShopTo the cheapest place just over £40. My only desire is that on higher difficulties or playing against better players/teams it actually just relied on them being better and playing better football rather than making your players and keeper worse, but I think I'll have to wait a long time for that! Any improvements are welcome of course, but it's brilliant enough for me! And looking forward to playing with womens teams!! I actually think it'd be great if they included non-league teams, would enjoy that!
lostmario Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Surely the more human players the better? :p Surely any human player would be an improvement over the cpu? CPU defenders hold the line well, don't play them onside. Trust us, we've had more than 6 on, it rarely works.
lostmario Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Really impressed by the demo, passing feels improved. Oh and referee has the vanishing spray for free kicks, its looks so good. Stays on the pitch for awhile after the free kick as well. When we are playing pro clubs and someone isn't skipping free kick animations, it'll be me!
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I'm beginning to have doubts about getting this. Mainly because I don't know how I'm going to have the time to properly get into it. I thought I had it all sussed out with work and all, but we've got major, major roadworks down here in Bournemouth which is adding on an extra hour to my journey at both the start and end of each day...Fuck sake.
Emerald Emblem Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Is it just me, or is defending harder than in 15? pressing the tackle button just makes your player lunge in front of themselves, not even going for the ball.

Emerald Emblem Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Good luck getting to grips with the new defending mechanics @Rowan, it'll be key for the new league season.
gmac Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I've found defending to be better this year, pace isn't as killer as it was last year.
Emerald Emblem Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 I've found defending to be better this year, pace isn't as killer as it was last year. It's not so much player speed that makes it difficult (which is better definately), it's actually putting in tackles without giving silly fouls away because the player won't go for the ball when you press the tackle button, I've found that it's less reliable to go for the ball when you put the tackle in.
lostmario Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks @Rowan, got it for £32 using the method you posted.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Figured I would put this in here, what with it being footy related. The PS4 just keeps on giving.
Emerald Emblem Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 I'm just gonna add @Hero\-of\-Time to N-Europe United, unless you wanna go to Town instead, in which case, let me know.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I'm just gonna add @Hero\-of\-Time to N-Europe United, unless you wanna go to Town instead, in which case, let me know. I ain't getting the game.
Emerald Emblem Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 I ain't getting the game. Our only talented wide man too, removed and your presense will surely be missed.
Rowan Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 We're all playing Clubs this Thursday right?
Emerald Emblem Posted September 19, 2015 Author Posted September 19, 2015 We're all playing Clubs this Thursday right? Alas, I haven't the money to buy it. Even if I did I would only be able to play at the weekend as it's the late shift at work next week.
lostmario Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Email from Amazon to say its been despatched and friday now booked off work. Everything is going to plan. So hyped for this game, its unreal.
