Yeah, based on however long you have the halves set to.

Although this year, when the ball goes out of play, instead of stopping, the clock ticks at real time.

Thanks for the reply.

The commentary in this game is fantastic.

Don't play NBA games, so I can't definitively say that it's the best commentary in all the sports games, but I'd be shocked if the commentary in NBA games was better, because I think Tyler and Smith are just great in this game.

I think they really pull off the conversational style. At one point, Martin Tyler asks Alan: "So, Alan. Spurs, your thoughts?" and he goes: "Well... How much time have you got?"

Even going back to things they were talking about, if they get interrupted. Feels very natural.

I've only had a chance to play 4 games so far but the game feels great from an attacking standpoint. Love some of the new one and two touch pass animations and errant passes feel much more realistic (I play assisted). I've only scored one goal on a header so those seem to have been toned down drastically.

The CPU seems more competent in attack and actually look to pass to build up as opposed to just dribbling in circles. I've even had the CPU attempt a few shots from distance.

Defending unfortunately feels even worse than Fifa 14 which is an amazing accomplishment. I play world class and if I'm not constantly swarming the ball it's a virtual certainly the CPU is getting a quality shot. Containing the player with ball seems ineffective as none of my AI teammates mark any runners.

The back four seem completely disorganized and midfield support is nonexistent. AI controlled players completely ignore players and the ball and allow the CPU to simply dribble or pass the ball to the spot for an easy look almost every possession.

I also feel like I lose 9 out of every 10 headers off goal kicks which is extremely annoying.

I'm honestly relieved it's not just me having issues defending and finding that contain is totally ineffective.

Wondering if we need to drop the difficulty level down in order to actually have a shot at defending realistically...

Really loving the game so far from the couple of matches I put into Career Mode and UT yesterday. So far it's pretty challenging for me on Pro difficulty so I might stick with that for the foreseeable future.

I might be a bit rusty from not having played much FIFA since 13 but I'm finding it pretty rewarding to score goals after constantly trying to find my way through my opponent's defense.

The presentation is amazing this year and the commentary seems pretty great as always. While the number of cutscenes can sometimes get a bit frustrating it's not too much of an issue for me so far.

I'm also finding defending to be harder than the last few FIFAs I7ve plkayed but then again I've always been pretty bad when it comes to defending

Like I posted in the other fifa page. It runs smooth and I like everything except for the fact that the goalies seem non existent. Seems like by the comments, most of Yall play vs the cpu. But playong online vs user. They score Everytime and the goalies don't do much.

Apologies for spamming this question again, but to my knowledge it hasn't been answered yet.

Has anyone been able to get to practice mode? Where you can practice set pieces and other situations?

If so, what system are you on, and how did you get there?
