       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.
