You were lucky. You missed out on sprint dribbling in 15! Wasn't
too bad after a couple of months and facing it constantly, but
early on was hellish at times. Got easier as it went on as you
learnt to defend it. As soon as you faced a front 3 of Gervinho,
Dounbia and Ibarbo, you knew straight away they were terrible
players. Quite pleased that I never once lost to that triple
attack in 15.
How are you finding bronzes this year? I've barely touched them
since 13, and found bronze matches appalling last year.

I don't even recognise pace attack teams on the loading screen
now, lol. Just a bunch of who the fuck are theys.
I remember bronze's being pretty awful on UT14, I did play it
for a couple weeks. Now I dunno, been so long I've got nothing
to compare it to. I think they might be closer to 14s than 13s
but so far I've quite enjoyed them. They don't feel universally
terrible like they did on 14.... Really I don't know without a
lot further play.
Possibly they're better. I'm sure I remember it being abysmal
going up against gold teams with bronzes on 14 but I've had a
few even matches with them this time.
Stat wise tho, having browsed FUThead quite a bit, there are a
lot of good looking bronzes this time. The amount with 70+
dribbling (my 1st search) is incredible compared to 13. I've
seen quite a few strong all round players too. I do have a vague
notion that strong all round isn't as good as strong in key
areas this time...
Early days, time will tell. I'm don't think they'll be of UT13
vintage but they may top 14 or 15...

Have been struggling to find THAT formation, annoying really as
for 3 years some iteration of 3 ATB has been great but the wide
players play as fullbacks this year >:(. At the moment am
running 4-2-3-1 wide still struggling to get those wide players
involved but liking it might try the one with the CAM's instead
of LM/RM's but feel i would be really missing out on those top
wide players down the line.
Will post my teams when i get a chance to switch them all to the
one formation :D
Played my first match of the evening typical starter BPL team
with Martial up top HP runner 3-0 win for me the more i play
with Pjanic the better he gets will try and upload a freekick
and a 20 yarder but i got the new windows 10 xbox one dashboard
over the weekend even though i opted out of the extra early test
::) which means upload is not working as they are replacing it
with a new program.

It took me 10 months of FUT15 to settle on a favourite
formation!
Played my first pre patch game. After the endless game has
changed/game hasn't changed threads that end in the same 5 or 6
people trading insults over the past week on the darkside, i
went in unsure what would happen. EA said only goalkeepers have
been changed. First corner and the giant Al Soma headed in for
me. Previously the keeper would have punched.
Now I don't know if its coincidence/placebo ect, but i played my
best attacking match of 16 so far. Tore the guy apart as easily
as was possible on 15. Pass felt easier. Obviously one match is
way too early to tell anything. May have been good connection.
He wasn't crazy torpedo pressuring. Maybe he was a weaker
player. Remains to be seen.
Oh and he got a BS what moment penalty near the end. Didn't
matter one bit but this stuff with penalties is as bad as
defenders running away randomly from lob through balls, which
thankfully seems to have gone at last this year.

Yeah, I've found that with my 352. I don't mind it that much atm
as I need all the help I can get against the golds. They do get
forward occasionally, maybe only when I make the effort to work
the ball that way... scored a few goals with my wide men tho.
Everyone seems to be using 433 this year but I've never really
liked it. 4321 is a bit more compact and better for possession
if I fancy the wide men cutting in. Still kind of demands the
ball fed forward fairly directly which I'm not mad on,
especially with this new ball to feet continual fail. Not had a
lot of time with it but the wide men are definitely well
forward....
4231 with the CAMs has felt sort of similar to what you say
there. They haven't been massively involved, it's more the 2
CDMs that get into the positions I'd like the CAMs to go in. The
2 wide boys seem keen to sit out there and get in the way of the
full backs. Width wise up front it still seems kind of narrow
with the CAMs holding back.
451 has seen my wide men getting involved and getting forward
but the formation is almost too wide. You get the full back and
2 mids on that side involved in neat little trangles that'll
allow one of them to break in behind quite easily but it's often
into the channel rather than near the edge of the box. It's
almost there tho, the tricky part is finding the player breaking
into that advanced CAM position once you've drawn the play out
wide. I reckon a bit more practice with it and I can start
opening up those runs into the finesse shot zone more often. I
think out of those 4, it's the 451 I like most right now. You'd
certainly get players to run the line but there isn't much in
the way of targets for crosses.
A lot of the time, same with all the formations I'm using,
getting the wide men in actual scoring positions seems to be
dependant on getting the striker in possession a bit deeper and
holding it up, it's definitely a lot harder than it used to be
in any case...
I don't think I ever had THAT formation on UT13 now that I think
about it...

Agreed with formations at this stage. Personally am putting it
down to early days and '15 is still so fresh in my mind. We had
2/3 go-to formations and could get wins 80% of the time with OP
teams.
Now, it's wading through them again. Been through both 4231's,
433 (4 & 5 variants), 451 and now back onto 3412. Tried 3421 but
it never stuck.
Last night's games were all 3412 - trying to find some
'different' strikers. First up was a Vietto-Araujo combo - with
Danny at CAM - which started as a NR team, but ended with rare
golds all round them ::). They were cheap though, with just
Inigo being the most expensive.
The game definitely felt more sluggish than the next - which was
played with the 'top team' including Tevez-Dybala, etc. Now, I
have felt this with the few silver teams we've played. I know
that wonderful word 'handicap' comes into play - but not for the
benefit of the weaker team. Like Glad mentioned, potentially
players feel like their ratings/status ???
Anyway, another ok-ish night ... 3-3-3. Frustrating draws again
conceding goals near the end - 2 of them at least.

I had a favourite of 433(2) since the summer on 15 and also
found some success with 433(4) in the final 10 days of 15.
Started with these two in 16 and they play very differently.
Although the wingers have seemed a heck of a lot more dangerous
in my two games post patch.
That second game was a first 16 meeting with Kyle Walker.
Opponent scored against the run of play midway into the second
half, but he folded like a pack of cards near the end and I hit
in four goals, including another corner to make it 4-1. His
keeper came a mile for the ball and completely missed it. Matias
and El Ghazi on the wings were the main dangers. Things have
been tweaked i think, not just keepers, despite what EA say.
It's not like they were truthful last year over lobbed through
balls. Passing is easier I think. Not blind stuff like 15 easy
but something seems different.
More games needed to confirm anything though.

Amazing session. Four games, all won, Division 9 title, 1st Gold
Cup of the year and IF Kameni in the pack. The patch is the best
thing ever! Time to make a new team.

nice TWS, enjoy as it will not get any better :D
I am experimenting with 433 (the standard one) and 451. I have
some troubles with the LM/Rm going forward with 451 but that can
probably fixed with those custom instructions. The CM in 451
really wanders around. Funny is when your opponent takes teh
kick off and you push for pressing he is the first to be on the
opponents half ;D
I like the 433 standard one but that has to do with the players
I use. The serie A has all round midfielders.

Just thinking i've been a little too positive with my comments
on Fifa 16 so far, so in the interest of balancing things
out....
My two gripes at moment. Offsides and playing advantage.
Don't pull back play for an offside that never happened when i'm
just launching into a counter attack. Frustrating. Same with
playing advantage, don't pull back play for irrelevant fouls
when a promising attack is underway.
