       Fifa 16 gripes
       By: EricCartman Date: November 18, 2015, 7:44 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       ok so not going to totally moan as i do still think this is best
       fifa in ages.  But there are certain things which drive me up
       the wall on a fairly frequent basis.  So i thought id list them
       here.   Maybe not major things such as high pressure or pace,
       but just the stupid little things.   If nothing else i hope this
       will be quite the****utic for me.  Here are some of mine.
       Offsides preventing counter attacks - Mildly infuriating, when
       your counter attack is stopped dead in its tracks for an offside
       player who was never remotely close to receiving the ball.
       Keepers being confined to 6 yard box (excluding corners) - Im
       not sure if this particularly affects deflected shots but why on
       earth wont the keepers moved 2 or 3 yards to prevent a corner?
       literally glued to spot and just watch ball run out of play.
       Crosses!! - They've killed crosses.  Every time i try to put a
       ball into box, 90% of time it goes straight to keeper.  The
       other 10% of time its a 50/50 between keeper/striker and the
       keeper punches clear.  What have they done here.  Surely there
       is a happy medium?
       Corners - Similar to the above and personally not as much  of a
       bugbear for me.  But the chances of delivering a succesful
       corner seem rather slim.  Unless if you ping it to edge of box
       in which case you will be granted acres of space (usually
       happens against me as opposed to me exploiting it).
       ok that will do me for now.  I'm pretty sure there are countless
       others as well but those are the ones that spring to mind now.
       I will report back with more as i encounter or when i'm reminded
       of them  >:(

       Crosses.. yup same.  Get done on them all the time.  Myself..
       can't cross a road..
       Corners.. yup same.  Although am getting closer to scoring one
       from outside the box.
       My other one is people who set their GK as set piece taker, and
       then I have to wait while they change it, every single time.

       I have to admit i dont concede many from crosses either.  But
       thats not the point, theres nothing wrong with a nice early ball
       into the box and a thumping header into the net to follow.
       Hardly ever happens now.
       Yeah i get the goalie set piece one.  I always hope that the
       person wont notice and i can capitalise on it.
       Oh I've another to add:
       First half pausing - As someone who will generally only ever
       make a sub if someone is injured, people who for any reason
       pause during the first half are just foul individuals.   If you
       pause twice during a game then clearly there is something very
       wrong with you.

       True...  but don't forget triple pausing is almost the only
       weapon we have against the high pressure douche bags, now that
       the triple replay has bitten the dust.

       They don't set it hop it is if you create a new squad from
       scratch the keeper is set a default for everything unless you
       change it

       Early crosses are your friend Eric 25 yards out on the wing hit
       the early cross button and double tap x and a great ball to back
       post you shall deliver :)
       Corners i take them in clubs all the time don't alter anything
       on set up as you hit it push out from goal and more times than
       not it will get to your player

       I think it automatically assigns everything to the first player
       you put into a blank squad. Often happens to me when building
       squads. You just have to remove the player from the squad and
       put him straight back in again.
       Crosses, i am getting used to a bit more. I guess it depends on
       your crossing settings. I use semi, and if you kind of put more
       power than you would have it previous years and kind of aim away
       from the keeper you can get a good header a bit more often.
       Longer crosses, as opposed to ones played to the centre of the
       area seem to work better.  Keepers swallow those everytime.
       Thankfully we don't have that stupid back post, across the
       keeper nonsense from 14 though.
       And corners, tonight i scored two headers in three games, with
       Eculue Manga and Howedes. I kind of aim for the back post, kind
       of between penalty spot and 6 yard box, and put more power than
       previous games, 4 and a little bars. Also holding the opposite
       direction to the flight of the ball makes it dip whilst
       travelling quite fast. Often though just aim for a tall player,
       making sure to not put it close to the keeper. Calling someone
       to come short and chucking it near post into a gap they have
       left chasing your player can work.
       My main gripe is Mzizi! Agree about the pointless offsides and
       dodgy playing of the advantage that happens this year.

       It was a glitch - there was something about this being fixed in
       a patch.

       Agree with your comments Eric - especially the crossing bit.
       Needs some serious skill games to improve them :D
       But ... to prove it, just bought SIF Slimani (1.88m tall, 90
       jumping & 97 heading acc) - put Gaitan on the left & Candreva on
       the right (86/90 crossing respectively). Let's see if that helps
       :D
