FUT '16 - In-game Stories
By: KoolKiwi Date: September 18, 2015, 5:47 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Guess it's time to start a separate thread for this one too.
Used about 4 hours of the last 7 remaining we have of the early
access. It was a good evening, must say! In total played 9 games
- alternating between seasons and Draft Mode. This time all
games were online. In summary - 4 wins in D10 for the title but
then a first game loss in D9.
Now, Draft Mode ... paid our 15k entry fee ... managed to win
all 4 games - relatively easy actually (think it was 4-0, 4-1,
2-1 and 5-1). The prize was very interesting - 1 Mega Pack and 1
Jumbo Rare Players Pack (basically a 30k and 100k pack).
No high value players, but overall the mega pack included 3x
squad fitnesses & a bunch of consumables. Quick sold the balance
for 3k. Moutinho was the highest rated player in the players
pack, with Caulker, Moreno, Djilobodji amongst them. Players
sold for 8.6k and the discards were 8.6k. A return of around
20k.
The team - once again we were fortunate to use a front 3 of
Konoplyanka - Ronaldo - Messi. Midfield was Ramsey - Matic -
Rakitic with Gibbs - Jones - Rojo - Zuniga in front of Valdes.
Ronaldo & Messi are once again fantastic. You can feel the
dribbling, shooting, ball control, etc with them. But ... the
surprise star was Matic. He's an absolute monster in the
midfield. Strikes the ball well too so a great all-round
midfielder! Going to see a lot of him I think!
Overall impressions of Draft Mode ... it's really, really good -
it's a great addition, must say. Thankfully it costs 15k, so
you're not going to be able to continue doing this all the time
- I guess others won't be able to. Have read on the dark side
that there the likes of very high-rated players are far too
common. We've played twice, got Messi twice, Ronaldo once, Best
too. One team we faced, had Giggs & Best. So, they definitely
are common.
Maybe EA should change card weights. Might make things a little
more interesting. As much as it sounds cool, I certainly
wouldn't want the same players ALL the time.

What's it like in regards to high pressure? Reading stuff about
the passing mechanics and that high pressure is just as bad,
meaning you get no time to do anything. Guess it could be the
fact that they haven't learnt how to play the new game yet, and
it'll get easier.

Erm ... interesting one - didn't feel the pressure too bad. Must
say that we played one guy who looked like he was decent, but
after we went 2 goals up, out came the through-ball spamming.
The lobbed through balls are far less effective! The keeper is
out so quick too! He literally had no game plan after that. So
yeah - definitely an adjustment is needed.
Actually, I had to tell the kid that we had to approach the game
differently in our defensive approach, as our players are
knackered at the end! 2 people controlling players always
affects stamina, so need to be even more careful now. We simply
cannot afford to keep sprinting for interceptions, or a quick
close down.
Last one - not sure what the default tactics are, but when I
went to edit, the default pressure was set to 65! I know the
default in '15 is always 51.
[hr]
Ah ... and that reminds me ... THE SETTINGS ARE REMEMBERED!!!
Well, the language at least :D. I did drop the pressure down so
will check when on again, if that one saved.
I do have one small negative though ... something that affects
us co-op players. In the past you could get away with a quick
'continue' so people wouldn't know it was co-op. Some people
hate playing against 2 people. Now it shows in the middle and is
clear for someone to see, before continuing. Hope this doesn't
impact us too much.

Final one on the passing ... it's got to be simple. I think you
won't have an issue - seen your build-up play in vids. But, it
will be something to get used to - obviously.
I loved '15 - must say. Loved the teams, we did well, bla bla
... I didn't want major changes. But, one of the things I hated,
was the fact that people could simply start the game up and
literally compete with you - at that 'highest level'.
This change is so good for the game though. Mentioned to someone
else ... I think it's going to be very hard for some noobs to
come into this game down the track, buy in a BPL / Serie A /
Bundes OP team, and storm their way to D1, by abusing the OP
aspects (or flaws). It will be difficult.

sounds promising Kiwi! I don't mind of a game is hard to get
adjusted to, I rather prefer that (hence I like BF more than
COD).
I think they have added so many Golds in order to change the
card weights a bit so that it will take longer before everybody
is using the same players.

I am expecting some funny games during the first couple of days
of lobbers and runners not knowing what to do. Just can't help
thinking a patch will arrive very quickly though and take things
back to Fifa 15.2.

Got home from a client's site (around 3PM) and had a few games
before the in-laws got here for dinner - yep, great timing :P.
First game the guy quit after Hernanes hit his 4th of the game
(cracking driven FK from 39 yds) - bit before HT. Next game was
a close one - good one too - which ended in a 2-2 draw and the
final game in the 'afternoon session', resulted in a 1-3 loss.
After the in-laws left, had a few hours to play. Warmed up in
Seasons first - 3 wins and a draw, scoring 14 whilst conceding
5. So much for low scoring games in UT this year :P.
Headed over to Draft mode, paid the 15k entry & boy, had some
tough, tense games - bar 1. Good luck again with an IF Ronaldo
team - pretty much chem for everybody bar the LB. First - had to
come back from 0-2 down to a 62-chem team :o. Scored in the last
5-odd minutes for a 3-2 win. Next, thumped some idiot - had IF
Ronaldo & Messi, Isco, 2 other IF's (CM/LB) - pretty strong
team. But, true to form it was sprint & spam those LB+Y's ... so
ineffective in this game now! 5-0 ... we had 59% possession.
Next - I had a bit of a brain implosion - got Ronaldo sent off
:o. We concede, score, conceded again. Only around the 70th-odd
minute, do we grab an equaliser and then put another 2 home via
Candreva for a 4-2 win. Final game of the night, another dodgy
63-chem team. Very, very tight game - scored again in the last
few minutes for a 1-0 win and another Draft win - 2 Gold packs &
2 Premium Player packs. Yielded approx 17-18k in quick sells & a
few cards including Darmian (still selling for 7k).
In Draft mode, we have a record of 11-1 and online seasons we're
14-3-2 (well, the kid has had a few by himself).
Overall - boy this could easily be the best FIFA ever. Not quite
sure what the OP issues/flaws are (and I'm pretty sure they will
be found). It just feels SO good, when both people want to play.
Yes - ridiculous at times with some passes - laughable though
;D. The kid even had a freshie today - I laughed, he did not :P.
FYI - our 2 teams - both 4231 (w/ CAM's) - have big guys up
front - Diego Costa has 11 in 7 & Morata has 11 in 10.
Simply love it!
