Use RB+shot to finesse it far post.

Or just tap b quickly to keep the shot low. Low shots are serious problems for the keepers this year.

I love the time wasting that the CPU does.

I mean, it's frustrating when it's happening, but it's cool to see because it's realistic. I was trailing late to West Brom with Spurs, and they were running the ball to the corner, and doing other stuff to waste as much time as possible. It was kind of cool. Gives a different feel to each game based on what is happening.

Maybe I'm missing it somehow, is there a way to practice in the arena?

In past FIFAs, you could always hit select, and then choose the number of attackers/defenders, work on FKs, stuff like that. Looks like the only options in the arena that I'm finding are switch sides to become the goalie.

its down there on the right/bottom in one of the menus.

there are 3 dots on the image and you RS over to the mode

Oh wait, if you are in the arena I think its select button or whatever the xbox 360 equivalent select button is on your controller, the left back button thing, whatever it is called. That should call up the practice menu

I did 15 minute halves last year because of its pacing issue and it took me the full 12 month FIFA cycle to make it through 5 career seasons. I play an average of one game or so per day. 15 minute halves take too long. --Difficulty this year is insane. World Class is so hard that it almost feels broken. You can get stuck in, park the bus, etc. and still get battered. I think Pro is quite possibly this year's World Class. Sliders will make a big difference I'm sure. --BL8 pointed it out elsewhere, but there are so many camera angles that work wonderfully! *gasp* My favorite might be...END TO END! It feels like you're part of a team playing football instead of playing a video game that looks like TV. I might actually play that camera angle because it makes midfield link-up play 1000x more effective/intuitive.

I discovered that camera in FIFA 14 on last gen, and it was easily my favorite camera in the game.

actually for a complete stop and to go backpedal, you want to hold LT (Left trig) AND RT (Right trig) at the same time, while using your left stick to maneuver.

try that to stop on a dime and back pedal, etc.

Thank you and yeah that is great, face up dribble.

If I could do that on defense...that is what I am looking for. To be able to stop on a dime to counter the cpu offenses little dinks and cutbacks and dragbacks they are constantly throwing at me.

The CPU understands how to use the built in momentum against the user.

Yeah that doesn't work either. That's what I hit initially, because that's always how you brought it up on 360. But when you hit that button a few times on the xb1, it just tells you to hit start to switch sides or quit. Did they take practice mode out of the xb1 version?
