Fifa 16 gripes

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

But my keeper doesn't take anything, and I've never setup my
takers in any squad I've created...

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
